The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.

Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

A British band that started out in 1978. No one can be sure if they are still around. Most people just accept the fact that they'll never come out with anything better than 'Common People'.

the last novel charles bukowski wrote. next to ham on rye, it represents bukowski at his best. hilarious, subversive of it's genre, spiritual (for bukowski), and maybe his best realized metaphor.
pulp the novel is like drinking till you make sense
