the point is, we've been round and round this issue in the younger bukowsk vs. older bukowski thread.

i'm the douché for bringing it up. ;)

I would probably have never met him unless we were in the same bar. I am not the type of person to randomly approach somebody and strike up a conversation unless I am drunk, then I make a complete ass of myself. Oh well, I like what he writes and that is enough for me.

all of you people who said you knew him.
STOP.
im getting really sad =(


lol i imagine myself sometimes talking to bukowski.
i even wanted to write a random short story about an imaginary encounter, just for fun. of course, it would look a lot better in the imagination than in real life.

LOL sorry, allow me to fix that. saying that i imagine myself talking to him makes me sound insane :/

I have known a lot of drunks in the past(and unfortunately still do)...REALLY bad, nasty, belligerent 'I put out my cigarettes on your hard wood floor and I'll start flirting with your girlfriend and start fights with your friends' type of drunks, and I would imagine I probably would NOT take a liking to Buk all that much, personally.
The older I get, the less of my patience I have for them. I just hate babysitting drunks, and I've had to do it plenty of times. It's a bunch of bullshit selfishness inflicted onto others.
Buk's poems/books/letters/art, etc....nothing short of stellar.
And that's where I would keep it at.

Sounds like you're hanging with the crowd that I used to hang out with.

I'm not friends with most of those people anymore since it was always a 24/7 prime time drinking drama with them(and to be fair, me as well), and it always usually involved innocent bystanders in someway after awhile. So, right now, I have a select few good people that can manage to drink and have a good time and NOT start acting like a bunch of drunk frat boys. Very refreshing.

Now..if Buk ever had a penchant for Karaoke, then, quite possibly, that might be another story..
