A democratic victory won't change the world, but it will at least slow the berserk white-trash momen

About Me

"You say I need a job,
I've got my own business
You want to know what i do?
None of your fucking business!" - Fugazi
[286 Support my band and support me not having to get a real job]
I was born on Long Island NY but I'm a Waynesburg, PA local. Currently, I live in the Los Angeles area and most of my time and efforts are spent running around singing for LA Rock Band, 286. We also are the boneheads responsible for Adam TV and poisoning the minds of the masses with our irresponsibility. I’m conventionally “educated” but I retired from the straight life sometime ago. I like Mixed Martial Arts and I currently train with the badass folks at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu where we don't need no stinking gis. If you're an asshole I probably have fantasies about Karate Chopping you in the teeth. If you don't take yourself to seriously, you think emo is stupid and you believe that Morris Day and Time are geniuses, I probably will like you and if I don't I will tell you.
Sometimes you can catch me helping out with Axis of Justice when I have a minute and I’ve been known to play my harmonica and six string (that I bought at the 5 and dimes) and rant about the government. I think taxes are stealing and I’m pretty sure that the secret of the universe can be found by playing Rocky’s speech backwards at the end of Rocky IV when Drago is defeated. In addition, the Ghost of Jerry Falwell speaks to me through my Parker Brother’s Ouija board and serves as my top cabinet member. He told me that the only thing the meek will inherit is an ass whoopin’ – that’s what Jerry Says, take it up with him if you don’t agree.
If you are a band and I don't know you, add me on the 286 page, I generally reserve this page for people that I really know and like. If you are girl and your page consists of pictures of you "modeling," you are probably stupid and you would annoy me so add me on the 286 page instead where I answer my heaps of fan and hate mail... Some people also know me as: Adam C., Mick, Mickfu, The guy from Despite Best Intentions (DBI) or that obnoxious person you either really like or hate. Ladies, if you are considering paying someone to “plump up your lips” don’t do it. You will inevitably look stupid – no, it never looks “natural” or “good” no matter what the doctor tells you. Your lips will never look like Angelina Joline’s, it’s OK. The “I just got punched in mouth” look is never hot! Never! Thus speaketh Adam Joad who has a nasty habit of referring to himself in the third person.AV_layoutssurfourspace.net premade layouts surfourspace.net
There’s Much to be Learned from Klingons:
Klingon Proverbs:
1) "Only a fool fights in a burning house"
2) "The weak enslave themselves and justice belongs to the strong"
3) "A friend may become a enemy in less time than it takes to draw a dagger"
4) "If it is not Komorex (the structure which grows), then it must be Khextorex (the structure that dies)"
5) "Mere life is not a victory, mere death is not a defeat"
6) "Survive and Succeed"
7) "Four thousand throats my be cut in one night by a running man"
8) "Revenge is a dish best served cold"
9) "A friend may become an enemy in the time it takes to draw a blade"
10) "'IwlIj jachjaj" (May your blood scream)
11) "'oy' DasIQjaj" (May you endure the pain)
12) "'Iw bIQtqDaq bIlengjaj" (May you travel the river of blood)
13) "bItuHpa' BIHeghjaj" (Death before shame)
14) "bInajtaHvIS qeylIS Daghomjaj" (May you encounter Kahless in your dreams)
15)Qapla' ! (Die well)/Success

My Interests

Music, Social Justice, Reading and Mixed Martial Arts..

I'd like to meet:

Hunter S. Thompson(he's dead unfortunately), Ernesto Guevara (he's dead unfortunately too), Subcommandante Marcos and Tipper Gore so I can swear at her. Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Apollo Creed...Honestly, I've been pretty fortunate to meet most of the people that I have wanted to.

Music:


Springsteen is God!! Skynyrd [turn it up],Bob Dylan, Dead Kennedy's, ZZ Top, Aus Rotten, Iron Maiden, Bette Midler, Black Flag, Hank Williams Jr.,Bob Marley, Public enemy, KRS 1, Suicidal Tendencies, Dio, Kid Rock,The Nightwatchman, Teddy Duchamp's Army, Misfits, Morris Day and the Time, Social Distortion, and outlaw country (real highwaymen type of stuff no bedonkadonk bullshit), Seis Cuerdas (martin and Nikee acoustic) + my own secret acoustic project called (A.A.R.M) or Angry Acoustic Rebel Music Suckas...My collection of vinyl is righteous as well - bring on Chicago, Hall and Oates, Bryan Adams, Kansas, CCR....In addition, I know more show tunes than any straight man ever should.

Movies:

Rocky (all of them period),The Goonies, Back to the Future, V for Vendetta,The Good the Bad and the Ugly (all Clint Eastwood westerns) Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Apocalypse Now, Star Wars (except stupid Jar Jar), Pulp Fiction, Monty Python, the Cider House Rules and Napolean fucking Dynamite. "Do the Chickens have large Talons?"

Television:

The A-Team, Dog the Bounty Hunter, the Highlander (I am the proud owner of Seasons 1-2-3 and 4), and Desperate Housewives...90210 is off the air so i had to go somewhere else! Nip Tuck, Celeb Reality is amazing (minus that annoying ass New York girl and that elf thing Tila something)

Books:

Anything by Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Hunter S. Thompson, Tolkien, Bradbury, Steinbeck, Kerouac, James Joyce and Michael Parenti

Heroes:

Herofication is dangerous, instead, I choose to admire qualities in people. Some people who have qualities I admire are: Bobby Sands, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Emiliano Zapata, Crazy Horse, Russel Means, Mumia Abu Jamal, Huey P. Newton, Thomas Paine, Woody Guthrie, and a slew of others but you get the point... p> This is what I'm talking about!

Yo! Adam Joad Raps...Ok Not really

So the Blog of Joad seldom talks about rap and hip hop, this is largely due to the abundance of shit that's related to the genre. When you dislike 99% of a genre it's probably best you don't open your...
