And if you can’t do that, well I am so terribly sorry for you.

HOW IS YOUR HEART?

during my worst times on the park benches in the jails or living with whores I always had this certain contentment- I wouldn’t call it happiness- it was more of an inner balance that settled for whatever was occuring and it helped in the factories and when relationships went wrong with the girls.

it helped through the wars and the hangovers the backalley fights the hospitals.

to awaken in a cheap room in a strange city and pull up the shade- this was the craziest kind of contentment

and to walk across the floor to an old dresser with a cracked mirror- see myself, ugly, grinning at it all.

what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

“Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul.”

I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.

“Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.” - Charles Bukowski / Factotum

Siempre nos piden que entendamos el punto de vista de los demás no importa cual estúpido o aburrido sea.

Te piden que veas su fatal error sus vidas malgastadas con amabilidad, especialmente si son viejos. Pero la vejez es el total de nuestros actos ellos envejecieron mal porque vivieron mal, rehusaron ver. ¿No es su responsabilidad? ¿De quién es? ¿mía? Me piden que no les diga lo que pienso por miedo de su miedo. La vejez no es un crimen.

Pero la vergüenza de una vida deliberadamente malgastada entre tantas vidas deliberadamente malgastadas. Si lo es.

He looks so normal, paper under his armpit and paper money in hand. Dressed up, in a casual and... normal way, in what looks like a public place, during the day.

The Bukowski that lives in my head is nothing like this.

The Bukowski in my head is disgustingly sweaty in his tank top and boxer shorts, absolutely wasted on whiskey, mumbling violently about so-and-so, the ungrateful cunt, thin strands of gray clinging tightly to the sheeny forehead that looms over his deep-set eyes and pock-marked face.

I wonder if the Bukowski in my head is the same Bukowski that lived inside his.

The Beat asked me about my top 5 favorite comics for kids… check it out.  I list ‘em, and say why I like ‘em.

[timecowboy]

One of my comic heroes, James “American Elf” Kochalka picked Teen Dog as one of his favourite comics for kids! I’m pretty psyched about it, not gonna lie.
