Charles Bukowski

The first time that I saw his writings was in a library. I remember that I took a book by chance, and I opened it in any page. That page changed my life forever. It was about the last poems of a writer called Charles Bukowski, an old drunk poet that acquired fame in the last years of his life.
Bukowski, was born in Germany, but spent the most of his life in north america, specifically in Los Angeles, USA. His father was a strict man, and most of the time he beat him. So Charles began to write and drink from an early age, unleashing his rage on paper. With the passing of time, Bukowski turned his life into alcohol, the whores and the street, neglecting his writings and dedicated to little part time jobs. When he was fourty years old, he started to work in the USA post office. He spent ten years without writing. His life continued normally until an editor discovered him, when Bukowski was fifty years old. Since then Charles Bukowski began to write many books, between poetry and novels. One of his most famous writings are "Women", "Post Office", "Notes of a Dirty Old Man", "Love is a Dog form Hell", etc.

Anyway, Charles Bukowski changed my life and I think that to read him, you must see the life with poetry and obiously, be an alcoholic too.

Stranger Earthquake on the Road

When I remember that nigth, evereything seems surealistic to me. That nigth, I was watching a movie with my girlfriend and my little sister. The movie was called "The Road", it was about the end of the world, when a father tries to survive disaster with his children. I rememember that we were very exited with the film, even more with the escene of the eartquake. Out of the blue the real earthquake began. In two seconds everything fell down. The house was moving form one side to the other. We were very shocked, even more with the strange coincidence of the earthquake of the film and the real life. When the earthquake was alredy finished, everyone were safe and the house had resisted very well. I remember that my little sister came to me and said: "¿¿¿what about this movie??? ¡¡The effects were so real!! Everyone laughed nerviously, but I was thinking about the strange coincidence. The movie isn`t the best film in the world, but I will remember it for the rest of my life.
