Alone With Everybody- Bukowski

the flesh covers the bone 
and they put a mind 
in there and 
sometimes a soul, 
and the women break 
vases against the walls 
and the men drink too 
much 
and nobody finds the 
one 
but keep 
looking 
crawling in and out 
of beds. 
flesh covers 
the bone and the 
flesh searches 
for more than 
flesh. 

there’s no chance 
at all: 
we are all trapped 
by a singular 
fate. 

nobody ever finds 
the one. 

the city dumps fill 
the junkyards fill 
the madhouses fill 
the hospitals fill 
the graveyards fill 

nothing else 
fills.

Quote reblogged from Erik Angstrom with 137 notes

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before and she may love again. But, if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect, you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking of you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don’t hurt her, dont change her, dont analyze her, and dont expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she is not there.
— Bob Marley (via erikangstrom)

Why You Should Give a Fuck

Why you should give a fuck.

            Lately many of my friends, myself included, have embraced a new life style. It all started with the website “Total Frat Move” and the coining of the term “Too Frat To Care”. Slowly this mentality of not caring increased to the point of becoming the new mantra of what seems to be my entire generation “I don’t give a fuck”. This term of course comes more as an excuse for poor behavior than anything else. I am here today to explain to everyone exactly why you do give a fuck.

            I will start with a personal argument to show where my view comes from, moving onto how the offset of this mentality is not only harmful to one’s physical and mental well being, but society in general.

            Here is a question for you, have you ever been depressed? For people that have suffered depression a main part most of the time is extreme apathy. Now apathy in it’s purest form has struck me. If you have ever spent 3 days straight in your bed without talking to anyone, watching tv, or even reading anything.  Then you have truly experienced “not giving a fuck”. Guess what, if you don’t give a fuck you don’t get up to eat, drink, or fuck. If you are in the true state of mind of not giving a fuck, you don’t go to class without showing; you just don’t go to class at all. When I say you don’t go to class, I mean you skip class not because you have something else to do but because the thought of leaving your bed is physically painful.

            With the depression aside it also has another major problem. Not giving a fuck has a horrible side effect, the inability to express or feel passion. Now I have already used the cliché “life is too short” and I feel that you as a reader should know why I am a fan of clichés. If you think about it “clichés” are clichés for a reason; because they are totally true. Ok now back to the main topic, life is truly to short to not live passionately. If you want something do everything you can to take it, if you don’t like someone don’t bother with him or her. If you live without passion and live by someone else expectations of you then you will not be satisfied with your life. Nietzsche once said, “if a man reaches his ideal, in doing so he has surpassed it.” Get out and surpass your ideals. There is a difference between living and waiting to die, and if your not giving a fuck, trust me you’re wasting everyone else’s time.

And I don’t have enough time for you to waste it.

Sincerely yours,

The Life Snob
