About Me

5/31/07: I want to track down the fucking sadist who decided my management class should only be offered 8 to 10 at night. They'll feel the wrath of my brassknuckles and/or steelcaps...and a rusty fondue fork to the frontal lobe.
Damn, these pictures are old and moldy. Some of those rants are old and moldy. Damn.
You won't find a great many fancy HTML codes/CSS modules to make the page look fancy on here and take half a century to load. (Not even the Top 16 or 20 one, I'm too old school and lazy. But I might get to that one eventually.) I'm one of the biggest geeks you'll ever meet yet I don't have those. Not terribly fond of this "copy and paste" mentality of today. Read my blog for the mini-rant about that! So you won't find fancy images, you'll find rants more or less.
Quite sadly college is dominating my life. I feel like pulling the trigger half the time til I remember that the reason I'm stuck in it is so at least someone in the scene can take over in owning and operating a venue. Go ahead and give me all the shit you want: I've heard it all before. Sellout, not keeping the skinhead faith, that I'm selfish...uh huh. You'll all be kissing my ass trying to get me to book your crappy band or put you on a guestlist when my venue's up and running. That, and I've worked harder in this college bullshit than any job I've ever had. I spend most of the time feeling like jabbing sharp objects in my brain. I don't study/work in this shit for any great love of taxation, bookkeeping, and the system but just because I pretty much have to.
I am the one and only Ghetto Byrd. The only skingal in the Bx to date. Damn straight that title goes to my head. :P And I am one of the top ruling socialites in this godforsaken city and will remain so until my death.
So if you know me, you know the deal. If you pretty much don't, well... New York Hardcore, Oi!, and Streetpunk is my fucking life and going to and playing shows are my basic raison d'être. No more, no less. Honor, pride, and loyalty to my friends, family, music, and what I believe in, and FUCK the lot of douchebags who judge me when they don't fucking know me. Shit-talkers and back-stabbers need not apply, same with those whose friends change week-to-week based on something really fucking stupid.
For the record I'm more a hardcore byrd rather than on the reggae/northern soul side of the skinhead spectrum. Like and respect both types of music. But I'm more aggressive and in your face in case you can't tell.
My life basically revolves around my axe, bands (I'm currently on bass in Dealin With It), trying to finish college a few years overdue, my family, and my friends who are the closest to blood family I can have at this point in my life.
What Type of Skinhead are You?
You're just a SKINHEAD.ahhhhh. forget all of the labels and the politics, you're just a skinhead plain and simple. that's the best kind.

My Interests

Arson, thievery, piracy ,excessive booze consumption, jaywalking, public intoxication, firearms, tax evasion, that sorta thing.
Drinking good antifreeze, software development, Noreaga. Hanging out in dive bars with my friends, bearded dragons chuckwallas and iguanas (A few of my girlfriends already called dibs on being the crazy cat ladies; I call dibs on being the Iguana Hag.), Floyd Rose bridges, drop D, shit stores in Fordham and Kingsbridge, icebreakers, waking up my neighbors with bad Slovenian hardcore, AGS programming & other authoring languages, stealing federal property internet.
F.S.U. Local 718

I'd like to meet:

People who I already know or met at previous shows/nights out/trips. And ran into when severely drunk at shows and other shindigs then suddenly remember these enlightening conversations and bottle smashing sprees about a year later. (Especially if you witnessed and/or participated in the infamous "chicken incident" that took place at the Plaza in Yonkers in 2006. OH GOD YES.) Other worldly bitches like me who need/offer crashpads and travel whenever possible. Other guitar snots who can rant for hours about action and playability while other people look completely clueless. My fellow skins, byrds, punks, psychos...we're all out there. My fellow programmers, AGS-ites, and IT nerds always welcome too...I kinda miss my programming days in a sense.

No, I don't care to hear about your crappy band or solo artistship.

Girls who go to shows for the guys and not the bands: fuck off and die. Stop making the girls who actually care look bad.

Mindless attention whores who need clothes and self-respect need not apply.

Nor do fencewalkers, skingirls by injection (cock is great but that is NOT where our strength and pride rely), and if 14/88 is written anywhere on your profile seriously (aside from just making the reference like right here), don't fucking talk to me. Stop disgracing and mutilating this culture and go embrace the correct one of growing a mullet, losing half your teeth, and running around your auto part-scattered lawn in NASCAR gear ranting about how white American society has degraded so much. I'm not a SHARP but that shit makes me fucking sick.

Movies:

PIGEONS WOULD BE THUGSOtherwise I'm only into older movies/stuff you've never heard of/bad B-movies/stuff with a fucked up sense of humor.

Sitcom world, refuse to see... though I'm a sucker for Sex and the City, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, anything with a twisted sense of humor like pretty much most of Adult Swim.

Books:

Too Many To List

Heroes:

Many and don't give me that bullshit that you're too hardcore/too punk rock to have heroes. We all have them in some shape or form or end up being heroes to the people we least suspect.

Al of Hate. For having faith in me when no one else did; both as a person, an upstanding part of New York Hardcore, and as a musician. Maybe I won't do as good of a job as he did...but I've got to fucking try.

My sister, for truly being my working class hero since I can't say that about my parents.
