I'm Suzanne Hampton, an 18 year old in Western Canada. I am a very complicated and angsty individual...
I hate people, but I still have hope in Humanity. From personal experience, I do think there is truth in what Joe Strummer once said: "Without people, you're nothing" People are also a huge influence on me.
Music is what gets me up in the morning--great bands and music that are often forgotten by most of my generation. My current favorites are the Clash, the Who, the Jam, the Ramones, the Dead Boys, and the Buzzcocks. I play a crappy guitar and often try to play along to my favorite records.
I am an anglophile that strongly envies the British baby-boomer generation.
I have an obsession with Mods, Punks, Skins, Rudeboys and basically anybody who is an outsider. I like it when I meet people like myself. Unfortunately it rarely happens.
I like to mope. Just like Morrissey.
I'm also obsessed with Paul Weller (and other men I currently fancy), all things Quadrophenic, scooters, the fucking Who, music biographies, 1st generation pop-punk, strange cities, nostalgia, your face, the well-being of my cat and my iPod, family issues, cheese, learning about all types of music, and also the Who and Quadrophenia.
I spend much (too much?) time thinking: wondering if I will end up living the life I want, wondering if I'll find true love, wondering if life is just a dead end or if there's more than this. I ponder my unfortunate past and wonder if thngs could have been any other way. My constant daydreaming and thinking makes me fairly depressed.
As for the things I hate. Oh how I love negativity...Unintelligent individuals, any music that is considered "progressive", Rick Wakemen, your mum, repression, Neo-Nazism, a large majority of my generation (as there seems to be no hope), the synthesizer (unless it's used by a good band), drugs, apathy, laziness, discrimination, dishonesty....etc etc etc etc etc!!!
I use the word "brilliant" far too often.
This picture currently makes me very happy:
The Greatest Band
The Other Greatest Band
The Who
I'm One
Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.
But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.
Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight.
Where do you get
That war coat so neat?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right.
But I'm one...
I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
Ill fitting clothes
I blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud.
Now I present to you..."The Three Touchstones Of Punk":
The Clash
The Ramones
And these blokes.
