every day turns out to be a little bit more like bukowski

[carrythelantern]

i watched a documentary on charles bukowski tonight called "bukowski: born into this." We all know I'm not a reader but i've heard lots of good things about him (except from sarah of course) and this movie was really interesting. I don't necessarily agree with his views on work, women, or his general outlook on life, but I really admire his

You should really check out "Ham on Rye" by my main man Chuck B. It's a solid read, and it makes you want to fight/drink your parents whiskey.

yeah, that book seemed pretty intense when they were talking about.

[carrythelantern]

ha yeah, they had lots of footage of him like really drunk at poetry readings... it was pretty funny.

He's basically a drunk, old man who rarely takes showers and, yet, women love to sleep with him? Or, at least, that's what I've pieced together from his poetry and books that I've read. I could be completely wrong. He sort of makes me cringe.

yeah, i couldn't really figure out what all those girls liked about him... only once he became fairly famous sooo maybe it can be written off as typical groupie sluts.

that documentary is amazing. and he's an amazing writer.

hopefully i'll read some soon, or read period... i really have a hard time making myself read
