Pizza, Punk, Pizza

I write how i talk, its simple as that. I never really have any structure to my stuff. I don't talk much where i work. Which is fine. I spend most of my time daydreaming about sword fights (you're thinking he's a nerd) and playing the such amazing tracks of my past likeness. Songs that numbed my anger, songs that made me think, songs that cried out "If the Kids are United, they can never be divided" and "Stop This!! WARR!" A little Operation Ivy. Thinking of shows and writting bands names on my folder. I always liked the cute punk girls because in high school i was classified as an alterno or a much lighter term..fag. I had punk rock friends and they too were known to the "popular" kids as...fag. There are really some amazing, amazing punk songs that stay with me forever. i was talking to a friend named sam about some of the classic punk albums growing up.

Bands like Bouncing Souls and Skankin' Pickle. Lets face it growing up listening to punk rock is cool. I remember being a Crass fan, Dead Kennedy's, Misfits I WANT YOUR SKULL!! This is music for people who desperately need it! But theres so much more, the skater punk, the sappy love punk or pop punk or bubblegum punk, the apple pie crust punk, farm-core, hard-core, emo-core, the earths core, and Ska. Yes ska, the armpit or buttcrack of the punk genre. A band called Total Chaos wanted to riot in the great city of Africa, i want it too. GIMME GIMME GIMME!! music.

  1. How many of these albums did we listen to and experience for the first time together? Quite a few. To be 12 and hearing NOFX for the first time again...

    Also, you went with The Decline over Punk in Drublic?! Really?
