Thanks for posting that link...


Name: Ajai Raj
School: University of Texas at Austin
Year: Freshman
Major: English

"A word to the wise is infuriating."
-Hunter S. Thompson

I am an English major at the University of Texas at Austin. I've always been interested in writing- or, if I am to be completely accurate, I've always known that it's what I want to do with my life- but up until the launch of PartyCampus I've only been interested in writing fiction. Now, however, with the passing of my hero, the masterful Hunter S. Thompson, I've turned my interests towards journalism, with the (perhaps naive) idea that maybe I can make some kind of a difference. If you take a shine to my writing, please leave a comment here and there. I'd appreciate it, and hell- while we're at it, I'm sure the other writers here would like that too.

Aside from writing, I also enjoy reading whatever I can get my hands on, taking roadtrips, debauchery, hedonism, and any other creative endeavor I can immerse myself in. My favorite writers are Hunter S. Thompson, Stephen King, Frank Herbert, and Kurt Vonnegut; the three finest bands in the history of music are Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Queen. Balls to you if you disagree.

One last note- check out www.glassbottled.com if you want to read some poetry I've written, and if you want to read any of my fiction, well- you'll have to wait til I get some of it published.

How fitting that his idol would be someone the likes of Thompson. I see great things in this punk's future.

Ten "I"s in a paragraph.

Oh, yes. It's all about me.

Oh, and here's a surprise. His "poetry" is cr*p, too.

You know what gets me? He assumes that he is as smart as Ann Coulter. Looks like he just demonstrated an alligator mouth, coupled to his hummingbird rectum.

from the article posted above:

On my way out, I passed by my friends Jeff and Nick. This proved fortunate down the line....

from the article posted on DRUDGE:

According to Jeffrey Stockerwell, a friend of Raj, officers violently seized Raj and illegally searched him after his question.

He's wearing that bandanna to cover up the big red "L" tattooed on his forehead.

two quick thoughts:

1- Isn't it funny that suddnly Dr. Gonzo moonroofs himself with a .45 auto and now every stoned-out hippy douche wants to revive "gonzo journalism"?

2- Notice he says: "I've turned my interests towards journalism, with the (perhaps naive) idea that maybe I can make some kind of a difference"

and not

"I've turned my interests towards journalism, with the (perhaps naive) idea that maybe I can make some kind of a difference report the facts"

WOW! So this Dr. Gonzo wanna-be takes a trip across Kansas in mommy & daddy's SUV, with 1 Aderol pill and a bottle of rum and suddenly he's the next incarnation of the Good Doctor Thompson?

A real Gonzo road trip is when you've just been released from a federal holding cell at the Canadian border where you were detained and strip-searched for having a 3 foot glass bong stashed in the trunk wrapped up in birthday wrapping paper, getting the Hell out of there by doing 120+ MPH across southern Ontario on the Queens Expressway slugging Jack Daniels out of the bottle while your passenger reclines the seat so he can put his feet out the window and more comfortably smoke some of the 1/4lb of weed you stashed in the engine compartment (that, thankfully, the Canadian feds didn't find,) on the 4 hour trip to Toronto where you'll be doing various unspeakable acts of debauchery with tattoo artists, their Hell's Angels customers, and other undesireables on a 4 day rollercoaster of various low-level (we're crazy, but cocaine and handfulls of pills are for those wackos, not for us!) intoxicants.

Like my passenger says, "as your attorney I advise you not to try this at home".

Another genius for journalism.

I've always wondered where they get these creeps.

Seems like he will make an excellent NYT or other MSM reporter.
