Happy Birthday Charles!

"Don't Try"

Here's a link for the new movie based on Factotum where Matt Dillon plays Henry Chinaski......Matt Dillon is pretty awesome so this should be pretty good.

Happy Birthday Hank.
One of my favorite poets.


Krastian, thanks for that link. I had no idea that a movie was being made.


"It's not the big things that make a man go insane, it's the small things"

bukowski wanted sean penn to play chinaski in 'barfly'

(it's all there, but very thinky veiled, in "hollywood")

bukowski was an awesome masochistic drunk-- yes reading him sends me into a depression but still he was awesome.

AS CRAZY AS I EVER WAS
from: Love is A Dog From Hell
drunk and writing poems
at 3 a.m.
what counts now
is one more
tight pussy
before the light
tilts out
drunk and writing poems
at 3:15 a.m.

some people tell me that I'm
famous.
what am I doing alone
drunk and writing poems at
3:18 a.m.?
I'm as crazy as I ever was
they don't understand
that I haven't stopped hanging out of 4th floor
windows by my heels-
I still do
right now
sitting here
writing this down
I am hanging by my heels
floors up:
68, 72, 101,
the feeling is the
same:
relentless
unheroic and
necessary
sitting here
drunk and writing poems
at 3:24 a.m.
