Bukowski: Born Into This is just out on DVD. This is the definitive documentary about Charles Bukowski and features tons of footage of the late poet doing what he does best: reading, writing, drinking, fighting and talking about women. The extras alone can entertain you for hours; they include commentary by director John Dullaghan, home movie footage, extended interviews and footage of Bono and Tom Waits reading Bukowski's poetry. If you like what you see, check out the site for Factotum, a new movie starring Matt Dillon as Bukowski's alter-ego, Henry Chinaski.

Dead Poet's Insobriety - Charles Bukowski died 10 years ago, at 73, but it's been hard to miss him, because he hasn't really gone away. A movie by John Dullaghan, Bukowski: Born Into This just opened Friday. Link

My Life, by Bill Clinton - Supposed to have much policy included, and detailed US & Presidential history, but he's such an amazing storyteller I'm looking forward to the June 22nd release.

Good Morning...
Sometimes I find it necessary to spell it out. To claim it, soak it up and let it ring inside me.

Things I'm Grateful For

1. My Spirituality. It's the first thing I go to whenever I need guidance or faith strengthening.

2. My family. Not just my husband, daughter and son, but also my 80 yo Mother, and especially for my sister. Grateful for those individual relationships and love and I tell them often.

3. My health. Physical: Also includes working out, running, yoga. Mental: would have to include being drug-free for 12 years.

4. My friends. Real life--Some I've had for over 30 years now. And also my online friends. The ones I can warmly and objectively talk to most every day. =)

5. And Blogger. Because it appears to be back in superb working order today.
I'm in a strange, meek, vulnerable, loving kind of mood today.

Funny signs.

ABOUT EBC

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
