First off sorry I posted this in the wrong thread. I guess I figured I'd fuck up first and break the suspense.
Yeah Ok I'm not really named termite but that will do. What kind of parent would name their kid "Termite"? That'd actually be pretty cool. My parents had all the imagination of a Jelly Donut when it came to names. No biggy though- I don't actually use my real first name anyhow, and just the middle initial. Nothing melodramatic- I just was bored with my name when I was a kid and when my friends started calling me something else (not termite- and not asswipe or shithead or anything like that either- just your typical teenage racial slur) I sort of went with it. My last name is alright- though- if my parent's past history of naming children is any indicator and and they got to create a last name for us it would have been something along the lines of "Hmmmmm....." Jelly donut.
Anyhow- I don't know any of you (presumably- any of you involved in the punk scene in southern California in like 80-81-82-83? That was a pretty small world.) and I assume you're a bunch of shady characters with a bent sense of propriety and a wicked sense of mischief or I wouldn't find you here, yeah? Anyhow- Particulars would be pretty foolish. Shit- I cant remember what I'm signed in as at a given moment (not a rookie- just the onset of early dementia or alsheimers or something- maybe a touch of short term memory loss.) and I can hardly keep up with which email belongs to which persona.
Like I said- I'm just an old punk(well- not that old- I'm younger than the ones who were really there "back in the day®" and they have managed to drill that into me my entire life) and beyond that kind of a misanthrope (I don't hate everyone- just ignorant assholes, most suburbanites, the idea of large corporations and governments (one in the same) nazis and born again christians (one in the same?). There's a couple other groups but really- "ignorant assholes"is sort of a blanket description that covers all the bases. Oh- I write and I build stuff that works, play guitar and surf a bit- not as much as I used to though. Old and lazy.
I tell people I'm Scotch Irish but that's just brevity at work- I'm Scotch Irish and Scottish and Swedish and about every other thing in the book. A little black Portuguese and some Apache, Blackfoot or Navajo- depending on which relative you talk to. I read books that I like and listen to a lot of music. Hip hop isn't really in my collection- not my cup of tea. It's not that I loathe hip hop so much as that I really like music with some semblance of a melody. Otherwise there's all kinds of stuff in my collection. I don't have cable as I figure if it's not the instrument of our undoing it will most certainly be an accessory to the crime. I also don't ever order coffee that ends in "cino" or other fruity stuff that's fashionable. I don't have birkenstocks and never have and I'm a bit lighthearted to find that "crocs" are sucking people into escalators. There may be a god after all.I do drink good beer and I am posting on a Dell Laptop so all that doesn't amount to a fucking thing. They win.
I'm not here to fuck with anyone and don't really get too excited about online bullshit, but I really liked your rules and am just here taking a look around. And I thought it would be rude to not stop in and say those are some pretty good rules. I actually came here looking for some info on "Aardvark" c1978 out of San Diego.
