PUNK=LIFE

9:11pm: fuck this rootbeerkeg it just reminds me of going out of my gourd

sock4_never

9:27am: got kicked out of the study. coming home today.

6:08am: i might be too healthy i guess. borderline for heart rate is 45 and i'm 46-47.
so unless i can intensify these visions of cop chases, jumipng off of buildings, and super intense fucking then i am out of here.

they are asking me if i am alive and say that i'm "crashed out".

FFFUUUUCCCKKKK

oh yeah, i fucking hate dudes. not men, but dudes. dudebros.

"dumb bitch"

"i gotta tell her i love her to make her happy"

"she's lucky she's got me"

what's with these fools? i can't imagine being in a relationship with such poor or utter lack of communication, regardless if you believe in marriage, if you are anti-marriage, not into labels, hugely into labels like girlfriend/boyfriend: it is scary to me to not talk to people you're close to about things that matter. it's a scary sign of this stuipd world we live in, and to me, bold evidence of how this system keeps us so apart and so strangered, even with our significant others, and often, simply the opposite sex. this way of thinking does not work and is not a very fast route to happiness it seems, by the unhappy and bitching constant stream of guys i am forced to listen to in here. i would say i have no hope for the human race, but i don't believe this is how we really are. we are such products of a system that has us duped. hope is funny. the more i'm not supposed to have it, the more i HAVE to. i just can't justify giving in.

on a quite good note, my VEGAN STRAIGHT EDGE PUNK LOSER LOOKING FOR FRIENDS/RIDES flyer has triggered two responses, and i have a place to stay here now and possibly a ride. i posted it on the KZoo People's Food Co-op's bulletin board in the store.

6:57pm: A couple bad ass shows coming up:
March 22nd is SICK FIX a wicked lady fronted straight edge hardcorepunk band from DC and ANTI SOCIAL and maybe GARLIC BREATH if i don't get into the study. 811 Veto St. Grand Rapids. BUt moeny is more important than punk, right? SO i probably would rather be rich than punk. all there is to it.

March 24th is the 3rd annual TRIBUTE TO TRANSVESITES! at the icepick
SIX PACK ATTACK, LOW LIFE, THIS MEANS WAR, XTRA VOMIT wear drag and its $4. otherwise $22.

March 30th is SFN a powerviolence band from WISCONSIN, XBRAINIAX, THE COSMOS (dfj) and XTRA VOMIT (me) in the tiny ass basement on 811 Veto St. in Grand Rapids.

GARLIC BREATH "Throw Away Your Tampons" demo tape is gonna be done soon. XTRA VOMIT / ANTI SOCIAL 7" probably won't be done before tour, because Jeff from ANTI SOCIAL has failing equipment, so they haven't recorded yet. But my 5 songs are done.

ACID REFLUX ruled the other day. It was fucking awesome hearing angry vocals but still being able to hear all the words. I love slop vocals where you cant make out a fucing thing, but it was cool the way his vocals were in Acid REFLUx.

Lots of punk, lots of poop in the basement, still a bike punk, winter, summer, spring, fall. I wish bike punx were still trendy. I think punk is getting cool again, maybe bikes will be, too. I hope so, not because we are lazy, consuming asshole americans, but because I need to be in some kind of gang. Feeling left out here riding my bike alone.

9:34pm: Karen. Call me. Please.

9:48pm: didn't make it to the show. stress from spinning out in the middle of the highway made me sick.
of course i conquered it, just like i conquer everything. including this winter. i am kicking it's ass.

about to embark on taking drugs for money. hopefully more sex for money will cum my way rather than pharmaceutical risks.

XTRA VOMIT / ANTI SOCIAL 7" hopefully will be out before GARLIC BREATH/XTRA VOMIT tour beginning on May 5th. AHHAHAHAH I CNA"T WAIT

7:02pm: LEONARD PELTIER, OUR GLORIOUS JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND POLITICAL PUNK

We might be filling Heather's van for the March 2nd show in Lansing, if Heather gives the word and if lots of people respond. The March 2nd show is the HOMBRIUS DUDES' Leonard Peltier benefit 7" release show. Go here and read up on Leonard, or read these quick facts on him here. Contact me or Heather (her livejournal is putmeupdistro) and maybe we can fill the van and everyone can chip in on gas. XTRA VOMIT, that is me, is also playing but i only need to bring a guitar amp and guitar so there will be lots of room.

And before that, this wednesday is the CITIZEN FISH show at the DAAC. Citizen Fish is ska shit that is basically the Subhumans, only more ska and less punk. US BEAT, OFFBEATS, and GARLIC BREATH are playing, too. It should be packed i would think for CITIZEN FISH, as they are pretty popular.

The DAAC website

feel free to call me for rides or any shit/info. 616-935-9968

12:15pm: THere are a lot of good shows coming up.

Estos son mis hermanas y el hermano.

5:19pm: about 5 people came to the show, and it was a LOT of fun. the 3358 house has an awesome sounding basement for shows. her's what happened:
-HIV played, and they rule, totally tight and solid old school punk. its great seeing consistency as they are still playing the same fast punk since their first show
-XTRA VOMIT (me) played. after being cooped up for a while in my apartment and going nuts it was perfectly therapeutic/cathartic. just what i needed
-THE COSMOS (dfj) one dude screaming and fuckig upa guitar. fucked up, intimate, blazing with passion. awesome shit. A THE COSMOS tape will most likely be the next OTHERWISE DEAD release.
-THE MYSTICS (i think that was their name) it was cool because it was different; two dudes in pink jumpsuits and brittney spears mics, but quite silly.
-RICK JOHNSON ROCK N ROLL MACHINE had some bad ass things to say and it was the best i've ever seen him.

Lots of spaghetti was made and consumed, along with garlic bread. and 6 of us gathered at The Outhouse, and hung out and watched casey's birthday show video, and it was amazing hanging out and it felt like total family. no petty bullshit, just hanging out and lauhging my ass off with 5 people who mean a ton to me. I think it's really important to recognize how important friends are. Fukc "just friends" there is no such thing to me as a friend being a "just" or an "only". fuck that. being a couple isn't some top of the mountain or some end achievement or peak of progress. often it is the opposite. especially how i see friends routinely cutting each otehr down and hurting each other and arguing about stupid shit that DOES NOT matter, it just overjoys me when we can enjoy each others' company and not need to supplement ourselves with anything but the highs that we exchange between each other. As i write that, i think how some people might not understand that (being high on life) and that really sucks. But i've felt it since i've been fucking 8, when we built a tree house, then at 14,15 when we used to BLAST MXPX and MOSH the fuck out of the 6 x 6 foot treehouse, hitting our heads on the protruding nails and sharp objects along the way, and i've felt it here in year 24, only i value it way more now, and see that my fucking warriors in struggle, my motherfucking COMRADES cna't be downplayed, can't be ignored, can't be taken for granted. I think i used to be a fairly half ass listener, and i am so thankful for the friends who have shown me their amazing ears (ha ha what a pun) and demonstrated what a listener really is. Its weird how sometimes you dont realize how krappy you were till you discover the joy in something new. Listening has never been more exciting.

Quality not quantity.

1:51pm: tiny ass basement show today

8:50pm: LAstn iGHT!
the last night in this apartmnet that i have lived in for a year and 3 months, and plumbing is getting hooked back up, postesr are down, and soon i will be not so much of a mess anymore because the ktichen will be CLEAN and amazing and everything will be organized and then the world will be conquered. hopefully people are out riding in this snow, because it is fucking fun. this is the second winter that i am conquering. winter was my hatred before, and my years revolved around summer. but a lot of shitty feeling surmounted to one day where i said "FUCK THIS" and for me, self-pity is disgusting. Like, if i am worrying too much about myself, that doesn't work. i snap out of it, and i make sure i'm never falling into hte whiny bitch camp. i dont have a hard life, and i dont want to take anything fro granted, so last pre-winter i said to myself "enjoy this winter, make the most of it, don't waste your only life, idiot." and i had fun! and i have only had one blob week this winter and i blame it on the mess in this apartment. which is from me, so i'm to blame.
do you ever have this bad headache, and you feel slow nad maybe like you're getting sick, so you turn up the music, because if your head hurts alreaedy, then fuck it, how worse can it get? so blast fuckign anti music noise distorted glory and jump and bang into things and start talking to yourslef and then when your friend cortnee comes home talk in weird cartoon voices to her and pretend like you're having an excorcism all over the bed and rip the sheets off and fuck i am glad to type it makes thigns feel good

11 thigns i HAAATE that make living just SO SO SO damn hard (SERIOUSLY!!! i dont joke)
-bed sheet corners coming off mattresses
-wiping asshole and your finger going thru the paper and into your hole
-picking your nose after forgetting to wash after the above thing
-eating an otherwise amaizng snickerdoodle cookie after forgetting to do same thing
-my wet dreams that have me never fucking getting laid (its alwasy so close)
-wrong words coming out of mouth
-punx that dont go to shows
-lord of the rings

5:57pm: 49 years ago
HELP ME I'M LOST!


This fucker is lost, somewhere in Wassaw Sound off the shores of Tybee Island in Savannah, Georgia. It was lost 49 years ago, today, and is one of FOURTEEN nuclear weapons known to be missing from the U.S.' fucking stockpile. Fucks.

I thought that was interesting.

4:04pm: awesome show, fucking great to see so many people.
and awesome to celebrate a friend's birth, which i think its important to do all the time, but parties rule, and a true keg surfaced.

cheers to those who are still excited and moved by punk and friendship.
