My credo:

"How the f*#k could anyone enjoy being woken by an alarm clock at 6.30 in the morning, leap out of bed, dress, eat, piss, sh#t, brush teeth and fight traffic to go to a place where you make money for someone else and then be asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?" CB

norwegian, here.
thought i'd drop by to for a share.

in a few past posts, my community here mentioned
that my writing style vaguely reflected the
style of Charles Bukowski.

i've never read his work. yesterday after
lying twitching on the library lawn in the afternoon sun,
i awoke and wandered in to the library.

with bukowski on my mind.
i checked out his, "tales of a dirty old man,"

and that night as i lay in bed next to my
barely-wife, i interrupted her gaze and asked,

"you ever read this guy." and i held up my book.

she smiled for the first time in days, and
then issued light laughter.

"what?" i implored.

she goes, "my aunt's last name is Bukowski. she married charles' nephew."

so no sh#t, i'm related to Charles. we used to share a first name, but i recently changed my name from charles to dutch.

f*#ki f i'm not on a good pulse
