so this last week i took a trip down to tucson. when ever i go home to tucson my time is usually taken up by skateboarding and hardcore music at the the local anarcist collective. while i was down there this last time i came to a realization. i am not cut out for hardcore music. though i love it dearly and its helped me get through a lot of emotional times, i just cant do that it all the time like a lot of my friends can. last thursday i went to smilie fest at the dry river. it was 16 bands and they had a skate ramp and everything. everyone was in a super good mood and all the music was super good. then the last band was up. their name was Slow Thought. i had seem them before and i knew that their sets were particularly violent, so i elected to stand very far a way from the pit. as their set progressed the people got more and more adjitated. by the end of it all 4 people were bleeding and almoste everyone that was in/standing around the pit had someones blood on them. it was insane! and thats when i realized that to do the hardcore thing, you need to eather have deep seeded anger issues or you just need to do coke way too much.
so to sum it all up hardcore is fun in small doces but as a life style its not for me. too crazy and too much bull shit(sorry for the strong language) to deal with.

yeah, i can understand. violence definitely isn't my thing, nor is an inability to understand language. perhaps i'm basing my thoughts on stereotypes. i look forward to playing some smooth folk tunes with you.
