WRITING, by CHARLES BUKOWSKI........... Often it is the only thing between you and impossibility. no drink, no woman's love, no wealth can match it. nothing can save you except writing. it keeps the walls from failing. the hordes from closing in. it blasts the darkness. writing is the ultimate psychiatrist, the kindliest god of all the gods. writing stalks death. it knows no quit. and writing laughs at itself, at pain. it is the last expectation, the last explanation. that's what it is. .................................................... plus i like traveling and lazy sensual pursuits like eating great food, getting sleepy drunk, the sun, talking, stretching and yawning at the same time and irresponsible use of the snooze button...
Anyone I guess - I suppose there are people out there who I wouldn't like to meet, but I couldn't say for sure until I'd met them, by which time it would be too late - but if you turn out to be dull then i'll un-meet you; can't say fairer than that........................................................ ............ "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." -- from 'On The Road'....................................................... .........................Oh, and no girls please, I'm married to God - heh, just kidding. nah, we split up, i've got joint custody of Jesus, i see him every other weekend, take him out for icecream and bad mouth his dad.

...the scene in Repulsion where Catherine Deneuve washes her feet in the sink......the scene in Taxi Driver where Travis just can't find the words......death and decedance in Performance......young Alex, your humble narrator......The Man With No Name's squint......Oliver Reed's squandered talent....
Phoenix Nights, Peepshow, The Office, Spaced, etc.......funny stuff + documentaries and reality tv crap ...................................... Oh, and to all the self-righteous snobs: NOT WATCHING TELEVISION IS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF.

The Secret.....don't worry, nobody has the beautiful lady, not really, andnobody has the strange and hidden power, nobody is exceptional or wonderful or magic, they only seem to be. it's all a trick, an in, a con, don't buy it, don't believe it. the world is packed with billions of people whose lives and deaths are useless and when one of these jumps up and the light of history shines upon them, forget it, it's not what it seems, it's just another act to fool the fools again.there are no strong men, there are no beautiful women. at least, you can die knowing this and you will have the only possible victory.......Charles Bukowski again.
