i am a writer, and i can tell you that it is hard to make money, but would you rather make money or make fries for a living? writing is not an easy life, but it is the only thing i know well. if you want great place to find bukowski, go to www.plagiarist.com and look him up there. also if you like bukowski, check out richard farina, bob kaufman, diane wakoski, arthur rimbaud, lawrence ferlinghetti, and richard brautigan.

i'm a big ferlinghetti and brautigan fan, actually. and yea, i have tons of buk's work. actually, i have an autographed poem of his framed in my room at home. "face of a political candidate on a street billboard. so..it's not like i was trying to get reccommendations on where to find his work. i was just impressed to find someone quoting him on lj.
and yea...i've always wanted to live like bukowski. i'm just too lame.

it's rare that i run into people who know who he is, let alone enjoy him.
and even rarer that i see someone quoting him on lj.
yay!
