| My Bio: Let's start this Bio off with a stolen line....Well, I was born. Unfortunately this has turned out to be to my mom's displeasure, whom of which wants me to be a brainless barbie doll...(sorry mom the nose ring ain't comin out)basically my entire family is based on reputation, so in between my oh so sucessful business owning parents and my pre-meleorologist brother, I'm basically the little disappointment because I won't go to university...I personally wonder sometimes if my mom wants to completely shun me from her perfect reality. So, like any other misunderstood teenager, I indulged into what I'm happy to call the world of music- with the help of my best friend and my St.Jimmy, Marlee (AnarchyEmo). This all started in eighth grade in a geo class of which I would have loved to have skipped if I had been in high school (once two grade eights tried to skip half a day at that school and the principal called the police). I was not really into music as much at the time, so I heard about Green Day's American idiot from the boy who sat beside me( in every class, not pleasant, people who know me know why) So, naturally, I started begging Marlee to let me borrow her CD she got for Christmas....that's when the world as I knew it completely changed. It was like smoking pot for the first time or something (although I wouldn't have been able to use that reference then.) That was the point my mom started consistently bugging me to get it out of the house as soon as possible (like it was some kind of smited demonic CD of pain)and back "where it belongs" from my mom's probable point of view. This event finally took place, I cried ( Wouldn't you if you lost your only creative output?) But my life had another dramatic change coming. Not so many days later, My dad and I went to our sparkling new (I say otherwise) little Wal-Mart where I saw my next best friend ( I swear there was the light beaming on it and the angelic music and all)My soon-to-be very own copy of Green Day Presents American Idiot..with some persuation, my dad agreed to lend me some money since he owed me $100 anyway (I owe you my life) for this CD. I planned to remove the CD from the bag before introducing the rest of its contents to my mom, but alais, my scattered little brain failed me once again...I think I was grounded for two weeks? but she couldn't remove the CD from my posession because technically I bought it with my own money. I am slightly disappointed to say I utterly overplayed every song on that CD, but during this my parents finally excepted that this is what I loved and nothing they could do would change that fact. I seriously believed at that time that Marlee was THEE St.Jimmy. Now all the sudden everything she said was right...I mean she'd been listening to this kind of music since she was eight, she was the expert in this field. I went to HMV with her after I got home from my trip to florida (Two weeks of non stop American Idiot. Fun-Fun, Fun- fun)I bought the next two CDs of my collection (Shenanigans & Kerplunk) As well as a DvD (International supervideos). And so this continued until I personally owned all 9 of Green Day's CDs...Plus a few others, like The Ataris (they've won a special place in my heart), Hot Hot Heat, And My Chemical Romance (yet another CD Marlee let me borrow at one point). My next big change was when I purchased The Used (In love and death). They signified a huge change in how I thought and how I dressed...and theyre still influencing me...This is when I realized how muched I liked Emotional Hardcore...recently I've wandered into the not-so-unfamiliar world of ska and picked up a few more favourites, like Less Than Jake. My next biggest fight I see myself fighting in the future is, like I've mentioned before, university. Education just doesn't appeal to me like it used to. The more I think about it, the more I start to think my real purpose is to change the way people think with my music like so many of those bands did to me... and I'm sure there are many more to come. Fight for what YOU believe in. not what other people want you to believe in! I Like: Thinking about how many people I must piss off just with my dislike list
People who don't care about the sexual preferences of people they meet
people who try to be different because they feel like it
sitting by my locker and mocking people who walk by
people who don't naturally think you're stupid just because you're young (unlike the secretary at my school who thinks that I shouldn't 'put foreign things in my nose')
people who never grow up
convincing people your on drugs when your completely sober
acting like your on drugs when your completely sober
people who mouth off to athority figures
mouthing off to athority figures
watching the people you hate get screwed over
When artists add hidden tracks, etc. to their CDs/DVDs (PS for anyone who didn't know, there IS a hidden video on The Used Maybe Memories video diary- I'm not sure if this is obvious-I found out by playing the DVD on my computer and it's hilarious)
Confusing older, yet somewhat less intelligible, people with my extensive vocabulary (You know there's something wrong when your thesaurus is one of your treasured possesions)
Honourable Mention:
Tyler's remark: "Remember, Jake, the harder you shove, the faster you get to the front of the line" - this is violent and shocking, but sadly true... it's amusing because it mocks people by basically suming up what everyone is thinking at such an event
...and just as a side note I like defending bands...why is defending more fun than offending?? I Dislike: this is mostly variations of the mass nusance I like to call the poser (as well as some other unjustifying crimes I see by pathetic people)-
guys who are homophobic but like watching girls make out
girls who think that only listening to good charlotte (does anybody have a paper bag I can puke in?) and green day makes them punk rock
People who buy from overcharging brands of clothing because they think they're punk rock or Emo (West 49, Emily The Strange...)
Girls Who Think wearing a $40 studded belt from The Garage makes Them punk rock
Hardcore Scene kids who supposedly love Emo lyrics but hate certain bands because of their Emo lyrics...that can also be classified as just plain stupidity
People who think that the word 'sick' means anything more than lying in a hospital bed or puking your guts out
people who think Green Day Has no talent because the only songs they've ever heard by them are American idiot, blvd. of broken dreams, holiday, wake me up when sept. ends, and jesus of suburbia, all of which have been disgustingly overplayed
people who think that knowing who Nirvana is makes them not a poser
teenage girls that have the vocabulary and/or knowledge of a seven yr old and think this makes them more appealing to the opposite sex
people who think that having a ring tone that supposedly resembles Sugar, we're goin down or Helena makes them that much cooler
people who are stupid enough to pay around $50 for an ipod hallowe'en costume(that's just funny)
People who think wRiTiNg lIkE tHiS looks like anything more than an overheated old computer problem
people who don't know who The Clash, the Ramones, or The Sex Pistols are and believe that this is okay
people who say they hate rudeness without actually knowing what this is reffering to
people who think rap is good music ( you can't spell 'crap' without 'rap'...hehehe)
Craziest thing I've ever done: Triple tie between eating a piece of pizza off the sidewalk, Painting my hair green with oil paints, and going off a ski jump at the fastest speed i could manage and almost killing myself My Quote: I personally think Macintosh is trying to control the teenage generation with they're hugely overpriced variations of the ipod |
