wes lang is a badass. if you’re not familiar with his work, google “wes lang grateful dead” or “wes lang kanye.” dude has ridiculous amounts of street cred. it’s no surprise that he’s a) friends with matt and carrie eddmenson from imogene + willie and b) partnered with them to make this limited edition bandana. there are 500 of them available, so act fast if you want one. buy yours here and be sure to check out the video on his work.
i’ll be honest with you, i haven’t read a ton of charles bukowski, but what i have read i have enjoyed. one of my favorite poems of all time is “the laughing heart.” i have a copy on my phone, beside my desk, and on my refrigerator. i’ve memorized half of it (i should probably know the whole thing by now, but memorization is not my strong suit). if you haven’t read it, please read it a couple of times today, tomorrow and maybe the next day. oh, and check out this excellent levi’s commercial from 2011. time to start living or at least remember how to.
i want a typewriter. there’s something mystical about them. i keep thinking that if i find one on ebay or at the flea market that i will crank out the next the sun also rises while smoking cigarettes and sipping on american whiskey (i don’t smoke by the way). i want to write. it’s inside me. i can feel it. i don’t enjoy writing on my computer. there’s nothing sexy about word or pages or whatever we use to drum up documents. typewriters are sexy. they hold stories. all of the great novels we grew up reading were created on typewriters. i miss them. i learned to write on my mom’s typewriter. i remember when she sent it off to goodwill after she purchased an electric typewriter. it didn’t feel the same. i don’t know when i’ll find the typewriter of my dreams, but until then here are some pictures of some famous authors and creators with their typewriters. maybe it will be the inspiration you need to start writing. it’s working for me.
