Reading journal

Ok so another day of school, another day of a pleseant mixture of drama, boredom, and laughs another day I will never remember 10 years from now or even two weeks from now... Another day that is just a blur, mixed with all the other days in the week. Ok so I am kindof having a Charles Bukowski fedish right now cause again I am reading another one of his books, and again I am going to finish it in a day in a half. I really like this author, because he is funny and literal. He talks about real things that are going on, but from a writers perspective.

Here is an interesting quote from Charles Bukowski's book "Hot Water Music": "That was the trouble with being a writer, that was the main trouble-leisure time, execessive leisure time. You had to wait around for the buildup until you could write and while you were waiting you went crazy, and while you were going crazy you drank, and the more you drank the crazier you got. There was nothing glorious about the life of a writer or the life of a drinker. My question is Why would anyone want to become a writer, if all they did was wait and drink, until they came up with an idea? My comment is that the life of a writer seems pretty dull, boring, uninviting to me. But I think people become writers before they really read the fine print in their job description. Because I once had the urge to becomea writer because I had heard stories of the writer that lived in the countryside, leisure as ever and just wrote what came to him. But I think that can be the battle with any profession, the fact that you have to find the balance between work time, and your leisurely time, and make sure that you are dont or rarely have just idle time, because I think the worst things happen when you have nothing to do, so keep busy with other things like hobbies or friends/family.
