No quarter given (Ahoi! oi! oi!)

About Me

"Because it means more to me to have a few good friends and a pocket of change than to waste this life away, selling out my integrity." - Knucklehead
Moose is my best friend.
"My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am." - Unknown

"Indy rock. Rarely is it indy and rarely does it rock." - Dillinger 4
"Something about politics that makes no sense. Lying to the people you are trying to convince. The words are meaningless, they only fill up space. Painting a picture you are trying to erase." -Inquisition
"Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul." -Democritus
Catasauqua, PA.
"You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who can do nothing for them or to them." - Malcolm Forbes
There is a band called The Gamut.
"I’ve realized my heroes are the ones I already know." -H2O
My friends shred.
"…and when there’s nothing left to patch the hole we’ll swim together and let the boat sink to the bottom of the stream with all its long lost friends…and if it comes down to just you and I standing on the last corner of the last town of the last city in the burning world you’ll still have someone on your side." -The Broadways
Corporate rock still sucks
"Hey, Mr. Superstar, so you really believe we think you care? You think you’re saying something? You’re saying fucking nothing, your message is killed by the paycheck in your hand. It’s already hard at work as your capitalist machine destroys. What’s the message sent when your actions contradict your words? I don’t want to play, you can keep your quarter. I’ll have no part." -I Spy
"Don’t believe everything that you read in the press." - Newtown Neurotics
"One million screaming outcasts can’t be wrong." -Sicko
"No more dressing up, please leave your costumes home. No more looking down, you might bump your head." - Embrace

"He don’t care about his hair, he don’t care about his clothes. He ain’t all that rough but he’ll triumph." -Generation X
"I’ve got eyes that see, I’ve got a mind that thinks, I’ve got a mouth that speaks and goddamn it will. Because I’ve had enough of all this shit about ‘making do’ and ‘playing ball,’ ‘the way things are’ and ‘dealing with it.’ Mixing pop with politics they ask me what the use is, I’m not into making excuses and I’ll die the day I find I’m fucking useless." - Dillinger 4
"Prejudice is the reason of fools." - Voltaire
"No one conquers who doesn’t fight." - fortune cookie
"History is made by those who say no." - ?
So, where do you stand?
"It's time to see who's who now." - Conflict
