    Going all the way has absolutely nothing to do with how much junk and garbage you have to shovel out of the way to get there. Suffering is the spice of life not safety and comfort.Forcing yourself to do something you don’t want to do every day like a cold shower. It seems a bit dark and dingy first, but every time you win you build your own character and your own confidence and you will be with the Gods and perfect laughter. One of the things that I love is thinking about how I didn’t wanna do something that I knew I had to do and once having done it that feeling of power…

    "Isolation is a gift". At first I thought only crazy people loved to be alone. And I tried. And I understood that it was the first time of my life I really be myself. It feels like all my life, I lived what people want me to be. Thanks Bukowski and this vidéo who opened my heart and soul!

      Original : roll the dice
      if you’re going to try it, go all the
      way.
      otherwise, don’t get into it.
      if you’re going to try it, go all the
      way.
      this could mean losing girlfriends,
      wives, relatives, jobs and
      maybe your mind.
      go all the way.
      it could mean not eating for 3 or
      4 days.
      it could mean freezing on a
      park bench.
      it could mean jail, alcoholism.
      it could mean derision,
      mockery,
      isolation.
      the isolation is the gift,
      all the other is a test of your
      guts,
      how much you really want to
      do it.
      and you’ll do it
      against total rejection and the
      highest of odds
      but it will be better than doing
      anything else
      you can think of.
      if you’re going to try it,
      go all the way.
      there is no other feeling like
      it.
      you will be alone with the
      gods
      and the nights will flame with
      fire.
      do it, do it, do it.
      do it.
      all the way.
      all the way.
      you will ride death straight to
      hell,
      your perfect laughter,
      the only good fight
      now.

    English isn't my native language, as a matter of fact my native language is not even close to English. All of my grammar professors taught me, that the best way to perceive books (and art in general) is by reading it (or grasping it) in your own native language.
    But when I read some the work this man has left to the world, I don't read, I feel.(Which is something that none of the art forms, in my native has done to me)
    Bukowski is the most influential soul that has ever floated trough a typewriter.
    And this video is just a perfect reflection of his work. I'm proud to say, that non of my professors were right. Art is more than reading (or listening), therefore it doesn't need to be in one's native language, on the contrary it just needs feelings. And this man has engraved his words into mine.

    I have been educated with an it bachelors and medical degree and as of recent even a real estate license and yet this video was a gift passed on from a friend who clearly could see I am trying to walk a different path. My father, who passed in 2011, was my only inspiration but after his passing and a divorce I have found myself not fulfilled. Now I am living proof that the poetry of Bukowski is true. I am no longer in touch with my family or friends and have broken up a 3 year relationship with someone who couldn't understand me. Even though I took to isolating myself before I saw this video it is true that isolation has rightfully been the gift that has allowed me to understand myself and aspire for more. Today I have no contact with my blood family or friends and have self imposed myself to seclusion. I am trying something very creative in uncharted waters for myself, much to the chagrin of the people that would say they love me. And yet I see no sincerity in them. I am looked down upon and constantly told that I am losing it. This video brought me to tears and continues to inspire me as I stand on the precipice of my own self discovery.
    I have no guarantees and yet I am sure I will go all the way. Thank you Charles Bukowski.

    Left Jehovah’s Witnesses after finding out about the corruption and child abuse coverups ......now shunned by friends and loved ones for past 2 years .........after pain came a wonderful freedom

      Jehovah witnesses are a false religion. Dont trust in mens, they will let you down and do bad things, look to Jesus and trust and belive in him with all of your heart. Return to Jesus, trust in him alone and he will be there for you in every problem you are facing. He died for you, that's how much he loved you. Jehovah witnesses don't belive this, but there is a hell and we all need to repent from our sins and trust in Jesus! Pray, Read God's Word and fast, We're all bad people and he is the only one that can save us from hell.
      God bless you brother with eternal life through Jesus Christ, his Son, Lord and our Saviour. Amen.

    I lived with drugs and alcohol for six years to write it down in my soon to come book. I went all the way. I lost several girlfriends, a couple of jobs, my family and almost my daughter. But I did go all the way.

      You write well, Grif. I have had some of the same experiences. When I was doing my most exciting work, I was sometimes surprised to realize that I was so intense I startled people at the supermarket. I may do work that excites me again. If I do, I will keep up the yoga to help smooth out the edges.

    • @ALLCAPS
      @ALLCAPS 9 лет назад +17

      He doesn't say it! I'm just saying Doctor House! x'D My favorite show and I've seen it 5 times, Start to finish. And all I can say is: That is a key to success, but sheer loneliness. Gregory House would strive to solve problems and fix people, but he never focused too much on himself causing him to push everybody away, his wife, his friends, and his emotions. Great character, so when I see someone saying "passion is useless. obsession is what you want, it needs to be a mental illness." All I can imagine is the Legendary Dr.House

    This poem is really uplifting when you think about it in the context of going after your passion or something. but when you think about people who have thoughts about things like murder reading this poem and gets motivated by it, it gets real dark real quick.
