Michael Alig and the Club Kids

Michael Alig is notoriously known as an New York City underground show and party promoter and member of the Club Kids who is now serving a 20 year prison sentence for manslaughter on the murder of drug dealer “Angel” Meléndez. Alig’s friend, James St. James, wrote a book about the Club Kids named Disco Bloodbath which recounts the murder and events surrounding it.

Probably the easiest way to understand the mentality of the Club Kids is to hear from them first hand. Below are a few clips I found on youtube (surprisingly)

Charles Bukowski Quotes

“The nine-to-five is one of the greatest atrocities sprung upon mankind. You give your life away to a function that doesn’t interest you. This situation so repelled me that I was driven to drink, starvation, and mad females, simply as an alternative.” Charles Bukowski

“Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you’re allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It’s like killing yourself, and then you’re reborn. I guess I’ve lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.” Charles Bukowski

“This is a world where everybody’s gotta do something. Ya know, somebody laid down this rule that everybody’s gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a janitor, a preacher, all that . . . Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don’t wanna do. All the things that I don’t wanna be. Places I don’t wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned. Save the whale, all that, I don’t understand that . . .” Charles Bukowski

“Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.” Charles Bukowski

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. ” Charles Bukowski

“My ambition is handicapped by laziness” Charles Bukowski

“what matters most is how well you walk through the fire” Charles Bukowski

“Sometimes you just have to pee in the sink.” Charles Bukowski

“my beerdrunk soul is sadder than all the dead christmas trees of the world.” Charles Bukowski

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.” Charles Bukowski

“Sex is kicking death in the ass while singing.” Charles Bukowski

“you have to die a few times before you can really live.” Charles Bukowski

“Boring damned people. All over the earth. Propagating more boring damned people. What a horror show. The earth swarmed with them.” Charles Bukowski

“Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.” Charles Bukowski

Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Henry David Thoreau: A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

Henry David Thoreau: A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

Henry David Thoreau: A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

Henry David Thoreau: A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.

Henry David Thoreau: After the first blush of sin comes its indifference.

Henry David Thoreau: Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau: Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!

Henry David Thoreau: All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one… characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.

Henry David Thoreau: All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.

Henry David Thoreau: All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

Henry David Thoreau: An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

Henry David Thoreau: An unclean person is universally a slothful one.

Henry David Thoreau: Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

Henry David Thoreau: As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau: As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.

Henry David Thoreau: As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.

Henry David Thoreau: As in geology, so in social institutions, we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society.

Henry David Thoreau: As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.

Henry David Thoreau: Be not simply good – be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau: Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Hank Moody Interview

Ok, well it’s not exactly Hank Moody, it’s David Duchovny, and actually it’s not much an interview, it’s more like a train wreck of a question and answer because the interviewer sucks. You can see David Duchovny wishing it was over about 5 minutes into it. But we do learn a lot about Hank Moody, and anyone who likes Hank Moody will probably burst with the amount of Hank Moody quotes or “Hankisms” as Duchovny calls it.

Trailer: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

sherlock holmes
Sherlock Holmes
starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law
opens: 12/25/09 (christmas day)

This new movie from Warner Bros. and Guy Ritchie (Snatch, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Revolver, RocknRolla), starring Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Jude Law is looking very action-packed, comical, dramatic and most of all visually stunning. Ritchie has a knack for modern editing and the creation of fast-paced, densely involved tales without losing the audience’s attention. Couple that with being a period piece, spectacular wardrobes, mind-blowing special effects and the presence of some great modern actors and you have a great movie. Oh, and the dialogue doesn’t seem too shabby either!

After watching the trailer above, check out the behind-the-scenes clip below.
