I blame this nigga for encouraging me to waste half my life on alcohol and drugs. Dishonorable mention also to Ram Das, Timothy Leary, Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Fucking wasteoids.
>>25372721>Ram Das, Timothy Learyand feds forgot to say fucking feds
if you spent the other half on literature we're cool with it
>>25372721did you make any great literature?were you filled with the ecstasy of existence?
>>25372721Well well well
>>25372745I have a milk crate full of notebooks and sketchpads and another one full of cassette tapes I recorded. Is it great? It is crate. I have existential cred from existing.
>>25372721LOL same. Esp Kerouac can be blamed for me being a washed-up neo-beat generation wigga in my early 20s. Poor as fuck, unemployed, borderline homeless, sleep for dinner and listening to the radio all day. Fuck yeah.
>>25372887Dharma Bums in particular I blame for my wastrel 20s
>>25372721They weren't wasteoids, they wrote books. Don't blame them for your shitty choices.
>>25372921>wasteoids(slang) Someone who is habitually wasted (drunk or stoned)how am I wrong there?
>>25372921This, I lado did a lot of drugs and read those authors, it was a good time though
>>25372721You gotta keep in mind that some people give their whole life over to silly things. You can't just apply their rule to your life, even if they seem to be or have something you want.
>>25372721>Burroughs>yes let me take the advice of a heroin addicted pedophile who murdered his wife and never had to work because his parents paid him to fuck off this one is on you
>>25372721That's what happens when you think that retards who write with a light feather gayness and exist in immense psychological pain every day should be followed and emulated lol. That's what happens when u follow poets they are fucking retarded people. They are FUCKING retarded dude.
deleuze and guattari on drugs. yes it's schizo and french. but it's also "Profoundly True". take heed!

>>25372721i remember liking hunter s thompson but if anything, vegas especially, made me less attracted to drugs. honestly, if you sought to emulate these people instead of just finding them interesting, i think it has more to do with you being easily impressionable and desperate for an approved identity than anything else. desu i pretty much did the same thing for a couple years because of 60s rock music so i'm not trying to pretend i'm better than you.
>>25373809*to be honest. don't put lolicon words i didn't write in my fucking message
>>25373207read more walt clitman, i mean whitman
>>25372721I've only read Naked Lunch, but how the hell do you get encouragement to do heroin from that? It was hellish.
>>25374052I've only seen the movie, was it Burroughs who included the plot point of William Lee shooting his wife like Burroughs himself did, or was that Cronenberg
>>25372721All those boomers had money, careers, families, kids, houses, etc. They ascended the entire heirarchy of needs, so were free to then pursue drug enlightenment or whatever.In their great enlightenment they also tore apart all the old stale outdated rules and systems that made the basics of life sustainable. It's like some rich kids becoming zen and telling you work is dumb and God will provide
>>25374181Cronenberg turned it into his own thing, made it more hetero. The only drug Burroughs ever advocated was pot as he reckons it helped him write. But addiction? Hell no.
>>25374191They aren't Boomers, sir
>>25372721>he fell for the meme
Quit blaming others for your own shitty decisions and choices. It's no one's fault but your own.
>>25373194 geez this guy doesnt sound very sympathic if you put it this way
>>25372916Based wannabe beat brother.
>>25374181Cronenberg made it more about Burrough's life because the book itself basically could not (and still cannot) be adapted directly for a theatrical release.I was surprised how much pedophilia was in it.
>>25373809>vegas especially, made me less attracted to drugs. honestlyWell yeah, it's basically a social commentary on the failure of the drug culture.
We got one of the best characters from Venture Bros because of him, take that back.
Literally all of those names occur in this book, which is ostensibly an autobiography but also functions as the best "retrospectum" of the Beats and the Hippies I have come across. At least check out some of his interviews on Youtube to get a sense of his thinking. He is worth reading I am telling you. This generation of writers is one of the best examples of why truth in words is not sufficient to the needs of man. They could all say the truth but none of them could live it, and there are very distinct reasons for this.
>>25375937>The tranny character was the best character!Shut up faggot.
