ah, good old charles bukowski.... professional drunk as well as gifted poet and writer.
"he sat naked and drunk in a room of summer night, running the blade of the knife under his fingernails, smiling, thinking of all the letters he had received telling him that the way he lived and wrote about that-- it had kept them going when all seemed truly hopeless...."
anyways, i fell off the wagon last night. i had a bottle of carlo's chianti i was saving for god knows what. i was just so exhausted, but wound up, and depressed about my checking account. of course it only made me feel worse and when i woke up, i felt like crap.
the difference now is that i won't let 1 slip send me back on some bender. it was just a mistake and i will learn my lesson and move on. feels like progress.....
i've let everyone at work know that for my last week here i plan to "rock out with my cock out!!!" hells yeah......
Holy crap, who is that whith Bukowski? She looks like the inspiration for Elizabeth Shue's Character in Leaving Las Vegas.
ReplyDeleteStay off the Jesus Juice, Missy! Do what I do. Don't use that direct deposit, it's a way for the Man to steal your money. I pay cash as much as I can, and deposit $$ only for online stuff and reservations. I don't know anyone who hasn't had trouble since that GD Check 21 Law.
i found the pic online and she's identified as a hooker-junkie. i like the pic because it reminds me not to romantisize (sp?) my literary heros like buk or HST.
ReplyDeletetrust me, i am off the sauce. just a minor slip. and posting about it helps, because it keeps me honest.
i'm with you on hating the check 21 law.
I won't say anything.....
