one shot fired
into his head
many shots fired
in cosmic display
fireworks
fireworks
fire fucking works

Just as Hunter Thompson indicated how he wanted his remains to be disposed of, I want to go on record with my wishes for how I want my remains handled.

First of all, you must know that in the final analysis, I don't care. I'll be dead. But just spare me this fancy.

When I die I want my body to be cremated. Then I want the ashes to be placed in dime bags and distributed (free of charge) to my friends. I'm sure the ashes themselves would yield a formidable high but I want the ashes to be cut with a modicum of heroin, a splash of cocaine, a bit of methedrine and perhaps a sprinkle of MDA.

I will leave it up to the recipients whether they save the dime bag or sell it on eBay or snort it or smoke it. But I will expect my closest friends to shoot me up.

as response, i can only think of the immortal words of modern day philosopher, Brittney Spears, as she pronounces:

'Hit me baby, one more time...'

When I die, I want to be cremated, the ashes mixed with paints, and a portrait of me painted with them.

Though I wouldn't mind being made into a firework, either.

"When the going gets weird," Mr. Thompson once wrote, "the weird turn pro."

ah don't send me a government tombstone

here lies jimbo
ripped in peace

just the same, i forgave my slacker stepson

the spare car key is back out on the shelf
i just need it back before the morning

yin and yang
valljalla beckons
mother earth waits

may as well have compassion and celebration
as not

gave a lady my email in art group
she wants to check out studio eight
she painted a brilliant portrait of her great aunt.
what i mean the sensitive and modest spirit shining forth thru a painting, hope she will follow thru

celebration hunter T
there was a book in the case at haslams' books last year
an original hardback signed edition of the " great shark hunt
for 192 dollars

wanna bet it does notlive there anymore?

advances and retreats
courage in the face of conservative melancholy

death poem

just this moment
always ready
the great awakening

coffe sweet
marijuana karma
absinthe on the agenda
the courage of the moment
dharma gates beyond measure
i vow to penetrate
an interesting dilemma
counter-recruiting early fryday morning
at a high school
on the edge, man.
get fried day

tomorrow work play
serious focus day
total immersion into fast action zen

today wednesday
getting fried.
martini time
just this moment
have another hit
groove, mon
into the fray

like L-rod i don't really care what happends to me after i die...but it be cool if like people caried me with them in like a small jar neckless to be handed out to those i love.

i want my funeral to be up beat i want people to tell funny stories, like they did at my grandpa's funneral....the other one, not the one that's currently not doing well...i want my funneral to be like a celebration. at my grandfathers funneral, they had a pic of him and my grandmother on a dancing crews ship dressed in drag, along with other funny photos.

A tad late perhaps, but RIP Dr. Gonzo, nonetheless.
