Putang ina... (bad stuff)
GWB
Governator Schwarzenegger of KAHLIFORNIYA
Self proclaimed "politically correct" petty-b "liberals"
"Compassionate" conservatives
white supremacy/male supremacy/heterosexism

My Interests

The vegan straight edge - Destroying Capitalism with more than pretty words - Tofu research - practicing posi jumps - kicking a$$ on the ignorant - making my family ashamed of me - Actually doing something about the problem as opposed to sitting on my a$$ doing nothing - vegan restaurants - carrying a RED BOOK in my pocket - hardcore - MARCHING IN THE STREETS

I'd like to meet:


People of Color who like punk rock
VEG*NS
ORGANIZERS
musicians
artists

FOLKS WHO WANT TO ADD ME, BUT DON'T KNOW ME, PLEASE READ:
1) Read the criteria above. If you don't fit into any of those, stop and think about why you might actually want to add me.

2) send me a message first.

BANDS WHO WANT TO ADD ME, PLEASE READ:
1) I appreciate early 90's apolitical (meaning NOT political), boneheaded, tough-guy metalcore as a milemarker in the history of punk. I do not appreciate its existence in the present day.

2) I make a concerted effort to support bands whose membership is representative of oppressed sectors such as women, people of color, and LGBTQI. If your membership does not reflect this, you'd better be fucking awesome if you want me to add you.

3) Please have something interesting (RE: a political message) to say. I already listen to American Nightmare, Poison the Well, Youth of Today, and Chain of Strength which satisfies my appetite for corny emo sentiments and goofy youth crew antics.
1-2-3... go.

Movies:

Last Movies Seen
Grindhouse
300
TMNT
The Legacy of Torture
Casino Royale
Children of Men

Television:

I think I'd rather read a book.
