It all has to be talked out…very well talked out ahead of time. And then maybe people don’t know enough, no matter how much they talk… It was a grim fight, it was to the finish. He was bigger, a little older and heavier, but I was crazier. We quit by common consent—I don’t know how this works, you have to experience it to understand it, but after two people beat on each other eight or nine hours a strange kind of brotherhood emerges.

It's not pretty and it's left eye is swollen shut. It got some good jabs in, but that big mother on the other side of the ring is fighting on steak and potatoes. This one is trudging through the ring with a gut full of beer ten-cent hot dogs.

There was a sign in the side window: Man age 49. Divorced. Wants to meet woman for marriage. Should be 35 to 44. Like television and motion pictures. Good food. I am a cost accountant, reliably employed. Money in bank. I like women to be on the fat side. An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way"―Charles Bukowski, Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969)World Chaos North South T-Shirt: Unleash Your Inner Original Gangster with This Unique Streetwear Statement! Edna got out of the tub, toweled, dressed and left her apartment. The car was still there. She took down the man’s name, Joe Lighthill, and the phone number. She read the typewritten section again. Motion pictures. What an odd term to use. People said movies now. Woman Wanted. The sign was very bold. He was original there. There were three of us, me, Baldy, and Jimmy. Our big day was Sunday. On Sunday we met at Baldy’s house and took the streetcar down to Main Street. Carfare was seven cents. There’s ripe criticism for Disney’s recent diversity tactics, but they’ve only really done it twice–– Halle Bailey in Little Mermaid and Rachel Zegler in the upcoming Snow White remake. The special’s references to the latest Indiana Jones starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge makes it sound like Ford wasn’t portraying Jones in the picture. Not to mention the last time Parker and Stone took umbrage to Indiana Jones, but their argument had more clarity then.

Bukowski's short stories aren't new to me. I've read through The Most Beautiful Woman in Town and Tales of Ordinary Madness.

There is little in the way of development and in some cases the climax of the story is nonexistent or misfires. There are interesting settings, however, in many of these stories and as sketches many of them work well. I believe that without love, sex is nothing. Things can only be meaningful when some feeling exists between the participants. Henry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books The collection also features two of Bukowski's finest and most famous short stories: All the Assholes in the World Plus Mine, an autobiographical rumination on the treatment of his hemorrhoids, and Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With Beasts. (The latter story originally was published as a chapbook of 500 copies by Bensenville Mimeo Press in 1965.)
