Don't Try

According to Linda Lee Bukowski, her Husband's epitaph means "If you spend all your time trying, then all you're doing is trying. So don't try. Just do."
Don't try, just do.

That was one of the most disturbing movies that I have EVER seen.

1. BARFLY
2. Leaving Las Vegas
3. Tree's Lounge
Thank God that my ADD let's me forget the movies and get right back up on that horse. So much Guinness, so little time.
It is noteable that all three actors did Oscar worthy performances in these flicks playing drunks. Buscemi is a genious!
It did anyone else notice that Mickey Rourke sounded a lot like the cartoon character Snagglepuss in that movie. I kept imagining him saying,"Exit stage left."
And then of course, there is the best (only?) song about Charles Bulowski, Modest Mouse's Bukowski.
Why is there a boxer on his headstone?
Who would want to be
such an asshole?
