I have only ever seen it in the 'For The Win' context. The kiddies these days use FML (Fuck My Life). But I think it's safe to say the it can mean both.

Graffiti can be art, it depends on how you define Art though doesn't it? Little bastards tagging their names on fences, street signs, shop Walls and windows, trains.. any surface, that's not art. Art is subjective so it's a loaded question.

Nice. I was just listening to Bad Brains featuring Henry Rollins doing Kick Out The Jams.

It took me ages to get into it. It was really painful. But then it kind of clicked and I got it, got the rhythm and his style and in the end really enjoyed it. It was the first and only McCarthy book I have read (so far) so I have no idea if all his books read the same or not. I don't think I...

I liked the movie. It's been a long time since I read the book but I thought it was quite faithful. I remember getting an overwhelming sense of hope from the end of the book but I didn't get that from the movie. Just as bleak and sparse as the story but not as hard to get into. All in all, I...

Oh I do apologise for being new and not knowing what has and has not been mentioned 4391 times here before. It was a side note in what I was saying. I do honestly believe they are under-rated. Thanks for not being an arsehole about it. As I said, they aren't here.

I don't know about 'of all time' but a very under-rated band (at least here in Australia) is Modest Mouse. The gained some recognition a few years back with "Float on" and recently back in the lime light as Heath Ledger directed a video for them shortly before he passed called "King Rat"...

Hi Fatal Muse. Greetings from Aus. I always thought when Buk said "Don't Try" he meant it like 'Don't try, just do it.' Don't try to be a writer, just be a writer.

LOL Never. There are quite a few aspects of Bukowski that I find repugnant :)

Hank Solo I see what you are saying. About a 3rd name being confusing, especially if it was the one and only time Chinaski referred to a protagonist. Just seems strange to me that if he went to the trouble of renaming his works, why not his characters too? I have wondered why it wouldn't have...

I was the same and have to agree, I don't think I would be a fan if I read "Women" first.

Wow! I need that guys help to find my mechanical pencil.

You could always try the library as well... they still exist right? It shouldn't cost you more than a few late fees.
