Hi, guys. I'm Erek. I'm a new member, but I've been lurking for a while.(I work third shift at a hotel while I've been taking some time off from school, and this board is highly entertaining. It makes the nights go by much faster.)
I write, as I'm sure most of you do and probably better than I. I'm okay with that. I'm not sure if it's an exact quote from the book(Factotum is the only Bukowski novel I haven't read yet), but in the movie with Matt Dillon he says, "My only contest is with myself, to do it right." I like the stuff I write, and that's all I can ask.
My blog can be found at ereksmith.blogspot.com. I post a lot of poems and things there, as well as some overly-whiny personal entries which you are more than welcome to laugh at.
I look forward to becoming a part of the community here. Feel free to ask any questions, criticize the blog or the poems, make fun of the south...whatever you'd like, I'd like to meet you.
