Roll The Dice by Charles Bukowski

I’ve been working on one problem, for nearly ten years. One week ago, I believe I found the solution. After checking, rechecking, checking… challenging myself, doubting my sanity, dead ends, sleepless nights, piles of paper, boxes of whiteboard markers, and enough caffeine to fill a football stadium, it hit me like a bolt of lightning. How beautifully elegant it is. This poem is fundamental to my existence. It has been my companion, on this quest. Thank you, Mr. Bukowski.

[@dhruvyamdagni5858]

what was the problem sir, did you publish

[@mikefarrell5996]

It scares the hell out of me of how much Bukowski poems mean to me and I am a fairly balanced man. One of my favorite poets.

"Isolation is a gift. All the rest are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it." - Bukowski 👌❤ Oh the many trials your poems have brought me through!!!

This poem has a special place in my heart now. It also came in the right time as I am about to continue holding onto my hobbies and learn all kinds of subjects, even if I may struggle with depression or just want to be a couch potato. Sometimes it’s difficult, but I do it because “there is no other feeling.” Thank you for blessing the internet with this video.

[@jamaican0099]

I'm not gonna lie. Your work is AMAZING. My God.

[@anamolthapa9663]

This is beautiful, especially when it's hard to continue a hobby when you know you're hitting hurdles and hard to overcome them. Love Tom O'bedlam's voice and the music, black and white and the different scenes you used, really speaks to the heart. It's a really calming yet motivating video and I never really saw how hard it was to produce these types of videos until I watched this.

[@Lorenacol]

Hi, Anamol! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you can see the hard work behind this short video. It took me quite some time to finish it! Tom O'bedlam's voice is just incredible, I'm never tired of listening to him. Glad that you like it! And thanks for taking the time to comment, really!

This made me cry. I broke up with a my boyfriend of 2 years about 4months ago. He wants to get back, but I don’t want him back anymore. I want to finally choose lige that I wanna live, balanced life. Gittong out of comfort zone I decided that I have to let him go. He was great but past half year he changed to a d*ck and it went down the road quickly. I don’t think I’m ready for this loss, but life is about challenges and getting over them, roght? 😊 I need to start doing things for myself not for others. I’m sad that he does not wanna be afriend. I gotta cut all ties. Maybe in future our paths cross, but now I gotta let him go. If someone is going through something similar, I feel ya and we will get through this. After the break up, there were good and bright days, I see them comming🌞.

Gracias mil. Qué bien nos hace encontrar en esta triste y solitaria tarde de Otoño en BA un alma igual y además que lo comparte y además que lo recita. No hubo en mi vida; en las diferentes etapas de mi vida que no tuviera que rendír al dolor alguna de estas sombras. Y me morí y volví e incluso hice mis desafíos y salí toda rota, seguramente para escuchar amando este poema. Abrazos, Naughton

[@krilin84]

Great job. The timing and pace of this along with the music and imagery brings out the spirit of this poem perfectly. Best version I've seen on yt!

[@howdyho6775]

This hits different when you don’t even have the motivation to try anymore. You want to, you want to give it a shot. But you don’t feel very determined. I’m someone who always gives up the moment things get hard because I get overwhelmed easily. I doubt my own abilities because for so long others have told me I can’t. And I started believing it. I’m still trapped somewhere unsafe, both for my life and my mental health. I’ve been screaming for help. Begging my dad to get me out of here but he just watches. He just watches me drown. He might reach out, making me think he’s going to save me, but then that’s as far as he’d go, he won’t get any closer for me to grab a hold of that hand of his. I don’t know how long I can stay afloat. I don’t know how much of my determination is left. I don’t know anymore.

[@howdyho6775]

Like hell I’m just a kid. I haven’t turned 18 yet, but God I’m so tired of existing.

[@Lorenacol]

​ @howdyho I do understand very well how you are feeling right now. I have been there. I know how it feels to be completely lost and unmotivated. I'm a little older than you (28) and looking from here to the past those memories feel much better. I feel stronger and less pressured about myself. My advice: don't pressure yourself. Allow yourself to feel sad and unmotivated. Allow yourself to feel those things without feeling bad about feeling them. It is good that you let know your close friends and family how you feel, but still, don't create big expectations about their response. All I can say is that even though now everything seems to be very dark and without hope, things get better over time. Life gets better over time. I send you my best vibes from the other side of the screen!

[@pam1085]

It must be hard for young people in this world so much pressure . I'm 63 I've been in the dark so many times ,but don't give up because things will get better. It's always the darkest before the dawn. When in deep depression just rest in it, it will lift eventually and I'm saying that from experience through many dark depressions.Life will take you where you need to go. It's hard being sensitive in a pretentious world. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are so brave. All the best.

I'm hooked on your content and I really look forward to seeing more. You nailed the images, you nailed the music, and you god damn nailed the editing. Honestly it is your unique form of editing that gets me every time and excites mee for the next video. It's like you were an apprentice to watching someone else's video and turned yourself into something unique. This is a perfect video for this poem in my humble opinion.

[@Lorenacol]

Omg! Do you have any idea how much this comment boosted my motivation? I was feeling a little down when I saw it, but just reading it put a big smile on my face! Thanks! Being original is something that I really care about, so even though I may be influenced by other videos that I've watched, I always try to twitch things a little big in order to make them different. Thank you so much for appreciating my work, really! Hope to see you here in future videos :D

Anybody who has read the book "THE DICE MAN" by Luke Rhinehart would realize that Bukowski has plagiarized the whole concept of random decisions from the book, at least you would expect him to be original, Bukowski was a fake.
