Straight edge kids from around the world. People interested in making the world a more just and sustainable place. People committed to be creative and staving off mediocrity.Oh, and Yoda. (Duh.)
Music:
the sword, katatonia, black sabbath, stretch arm strong, trial, fugazi, cave in, slayer, dido, boy sets fire, bane, downcast, insted, sage francis, rise against, pelican, the mutiny, and so much more. Old school style hardcore is still my favorite, but I'm currently experimenting with metal like Dimmu Borgir and Opeth.
