  1. this post was ludicrous from the start because graffiti can't ruin your life. odds are your life was going to ruin itself before graffiti hit you, it just gave you the medium to do it. you're guilty of taking yourself and graffiti too seriously. lighten up. we all get there sometimes...

  2. Hahahaha' date=' look at hard-ass-joe-pesci up here unwrapping on TomYorke because his father never came to his ball-games. I've talked to friends of friends of Grey, and apparently he's NOT painting right now. So much for your $30 DVD interview/'insider-information'.[/quote']

     

    i have nothing to do with anyone said but damn, get off the dick. who cares who does what? nobody owes you dick just because you want dick, damn.

  3. Bukowski, Charles:poem for personnel managers: [from The Days Run Away Like Wild

    Horses Over the Hills (1969), Black Sparrow Press]

     

     

    1 An old man asked me for a cigarette

    2 and I carefully dealt out two.

    3 "Been lookin' for job. Gonna stand

    4 in the sun and smoke."

     

     

    5 He was close to rags and rage

    6 and he leaned against death.

    7 It was a cold day, indeed, and trucks

    8 loaded and heavy as old whores

    9 banged and tangled on the streets ...

     

     

    10 We drop like planks from a rotting floor

    11 as the world strives to unlock the bone

    12 that weights its brain.

    13 (God is a lonely place without steak.)

     

     

    14 We are dying birds

    15 we are sinking ships---

    16 the world rocks down against us

    17 and we

    18 throw out our arms

    19 and we

    20 throw out our legs

    21 like the death kiss of the centipede:

    22 but they kindly snap our backs

    23 and call our poison "politics."

     

     

    24 Well, we smoked, he and I---little men

    25 nibbling fish-head thoughts ...

     

    [Page 26]

     

     

     

    26 All the horses do not come in,

    27 and as you watch the lights of the jails

    28 and hospitals wink on and out,

    29 and men handle flags as carefully as babies,

    30 remember this:

     

     

    31 you are a great-gutted instrument of

    32 heart and belly, carefully planned---

    33 so if you take a plane for Savannah,

    34 take the best plane;

    35 or if you eat chicken on a rock,

    36 make it a very special animal.

    37 (You call it a bird; I call birds

    38 flowers.)

     

     

    39 And if you decide to kill somebody,

    40 make it anybody and not somebody:

    41 some men are made of more special, precious

    42 parts: do not kill

    43 if you will

    44 a president or a King

    45 or a man

    46 behind a desk---

    47 these have heavenly longitudes

    48 enlightened attitudes.

     

     

    49 If you decide,

    50 take us

    51 who stand and smoke and glower;

    52 we are rusty with sadness and

    53 feverish

    54 with climbing broken ladders.

     

     

    55 Take us:

    56 we were never children

    57 like your children.

     

    [Page 27]

     

    58 We do not understand love songs

    59 like your inamorata.

     

     

    60 Our faces are cracked linoleum,

    61 cracked through with the heavy, sure

    62 feet of our masters.

     

     

    63 We are shot through with carrot tops

    64 and poppyseed and tilted grammar;

    65 we waste days like mad blackbirds

    66 and pray for alcoholic nights.

    67 Our silk-sick human smiles wrap around

    68 us like somebody else's confetti:

    69 we do not even belong to the Party.

     

     

    70 We are a scene chalked-out with the

    71 sick white brush of Age.

     

     

    72 We smoke, asleep as a dish of figs.

    73 We smoke, dead as a fog.

     

     

    74 Take us.

     

     

    75 A bathtub murder

    76 or something quick and bright; our names

    77 in the papers.

     

     

    78 Known, at last, for a moment

    79 to millions of careless and grape-dull eyes

    80 that hold themselves private

    81 to only flicker and flame

    82 at the poor cracker-barrel jibes

    83 of their conceited, pampered correct comedians.

     

     

    84 Known, at last, for a moment,

    85 as they will be known

     

    [Page 28]

     

    86 and as you will be known

    87 by an all-gray man on an all-gray horse

    88 who sits and fondles a sword

    89 longer than the night

    90 longer than the mountain's aching backbone

    91 longer than all the cries

    92 that have a-bombed up out of throats

    93 and exploded in a newer, less-planned

    94 land.

     

     

    95 We smoke and the clouds do not notice us.

    96 A cat walks by and shakes Shakespeare off of his back.

    97 Tallow, tallow, candle like wax: our spines

    98 are limp and our consciousness burns

    99 guilelessly away

    100 the remaining wick life has

    101 doled out to us.

     

     

    102 An old man asked me for a cigarette

    103 and told me his troubles

    104 and this

    105 is what he said:

    106 that Age was a crime

    107 and that Pity picked up the marbles

    108 and that Hatred picked up the

    109 cash.

     

     

    110 He might have been your father

    111 or mine.

     

     

    112 He might have been a sex-fiend

    113 or a saint.

     

     

    114 But whatever he was,

    115 he was condemned

    116 and we stood in the sun and

     

    [Page 29]

     

    117 smoked

    118 and looked around

    119 in our leisure

    120 to see who was next in

    121 line.

  4. I get pissy when snobby-ass bookworms try to tell me that I'm 'totally missing the point' when (without souding like too much of a prick) I think most writers just do their thing and want you to get whatever you can out of their material; especially dudes like Bukowski, who probably never aimed for his theme to amount to some grand 'magnum opus'. Nahmsayin?

     

    yeah. especially true when if asked what his work was about he would say "i don't know". who does, really? no one really knows why they do what they do. even worse when critics act like they do know.

     

    nothing but love to bukowski for getting me through hard times with his hard knocks life.

  5. haha. cliff notes! dude! totally esoteric! the internet! rapture!

     

    look good will fronting, if you want to do a better job of answering the guy's question in under 30 seconds be my guest. just spare me the half-assed first year creative writing student attempt at being condescending, "plz".

     

    k thnkz!

     

    yo man. ease off. you ought to know as well as i how little manic summaries aren't going to do a lifetime's worth. is all i'm saying.
