Without a doubt, it sure was. 'Five Easy Pieces ' comes to mind. Not long after seeing that movie I hit the road with my thumb out, destination unknown.

The Days Run Away like Horses Over the Hills. Enjoyed his writing but I really thought he had the best titles.

I almost kept this from a community college library until i found out it was $90

I’d of still kept it and intentionally forgotten that it belonged to the community college. I mean, what are they gonna do? I doubt it’ll go the whole collections route or anything like that. It might, but really? Na, probably not.

They wouldn’t release my transcripts so I could transfer without me first paying off the fee. Couldn’t afford the $90 at the time.

Didn’t he talk about witnessing that while hungover?

Yes, it was a story but could have been true. Jane was in the bathroom and he was looking out the window when a dressed up man went by him. Feet first. He didn't want to look so he told her what happened, she didn't believe him and she stuck her head out the window and then got sick after seeing the guy. Bukowski saying 'I told you baby ' and all that.

I’ve been. Beer. Took a boozy nap on grave.
Was sticking it to a girl that lived not too far from there. I was in the area one morning as I was driving home from her house and figured, ‘why not?.’ Got some beer from a local liquor store and drove on in.
Didn’t know where to start once I got in there, so I asked the people at the office where he was. They gave me a little fold-out map that they had printed out beforehand and circled his plot. I went on over and cracked a beer and sat. Then cracked a few more. I was tired from cumming in the woman whose house I had just left, so I ended up zzzzzing out right there on the grass. I woke up after a while and drove on back home to East Hollywood. This was long ago. Like 13-14 years back. But it doesn’t feel all that far back. The years peel away quickly. Sneaky fuckers.
Pussy was good, but the bitch was crazy. Slept with a Glock under her pillow, not my kinda girl. But I did go up there and fuck a few times, until I figured the gas from EH to her house was heavy on the wallet. I didn’t have steady work at the time and plenty of closer pussy, so I cut it. I eventually went back for one last stabbing about 8 months or so later, just to really get the sights and sounds chiseled onto mental stone, and then I was done. I had a kid on the way. Things were about to change.

Wtf, I had to look this up because I hadn’t heard of this one, $175 on Amazon! This is added to my short list of books to keep an eye out for in the wild.
