things to ruminate on in Denver when you're sleepy

Warren Zevon wrote

I've got a .38 special, up on the shelf
    I'll sleep when I'm dead
If I start acting stupid then I'll shoot myself
    I'll sleep when I'm dead

... which is basically what his friend Hunter Thompson did, not long after Warren died.

Words to live by. Or die by, anyway.

Well, hell.

Zevon also wrote,

"Saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's"

And sure, Hunter Thompson almost certainly did that too. But hey, drugs will do that.

*laugh* Wait until you see the "combat system" for Desperadoes. It's appropriate. :)

Definitely not words to live by. Sleep may not be your friend, but lack of sleep is definitely your enemy. Trust me on this.
