Hunter is one of those guys that from an early age just made up his mind.

"Fuck it, why not."

He knew what was coming and he knew that it wouldnt be the same as it always was.

"Live as much as you can, cause there aint much else worth worrying about!"

There's a picture floating around of those three plus the blow-up doll in a car in LA. It is the best picture taken in human history.

@BHP176 Any asshole can do that, in fact most do. The thing that made Hunter unique is that while doing so, he didn't lose sight of the bigger gears that kept turning in the background.

The useless banterings of a rhetorician hard at work, or valuable assets to a society that begs for wordsmithing? What, indeed, do we believe to be the true definition of the American Dream? Perhaps I have the answers, perhaps not. Either way, this topic is opened for discussion in my new video.
