Last Saturday I woke up to find the front of my house crowded with ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, etc...and to later find out that my good friend and neighbor Chris had died while working under his car. That day really sucked ass. I can't remember the last time I cried before that day, and I had to toke up like hell afterwards just to be sane. Well, I know that many others besides me are grieving over Chris's loss, and to make me feel a little better I thought I'd make a little personal dedication to the big guy that lived 2 doors away from me for the past 4 years.
Man...it still hasn't gone through my head that you're fucking gone. I just want it to be like the time when you ran away and came back home a few months later...but it's not. Even though my last memory of you will be a pretty bad one of that fucked up day, I still got a lotta funny ass memories from the past 4 years.
I'll probably never forget speeding down Westheimer Rd. with you in your stepmom's Firebird on boring Friday nights, or riding in your pink truck (hehe) from school. Also I'll never forget how you had my back when Beau was fuckin around with me and Adam...until we got like 10 other people on his ass and you just stood there, watched, and laughed. Haha...good times. I'll miss riding around the neighborhood in your John Deere lawnmower thing, and playing basketball and listening to gangsta rap on your driveway back when I was into that stuff.
It was cool hangin out with you and Jimmy whenever we got bored, and mooning you when I was sitting in the back of your truck while you driving...ah man, that was great. It was also cool being losers and playing regular Nintendo only a year ago. I know I'll definitely miss seeing you work on your CRX every time I came home from school, or when I'd see all these cars parked in front of your house with everyone chillin there and me thinking, "Damn, Chris has got the life..."
Jeez...I can list so many fuckin things, we did almost everything together a few years ago. I just feel bad we kinda drifted away lately, but I guess we still had that bond since we lived almost right next to each other. I always wondered what you were gonna do after you got out of that "school for dumb people" (hehe, I think that's what you called it...), but I guess I know the answer now. And it fucking sucks it had to be this way. It also sucks to think you were only a few months away from getting off that house arrest/probation thing you were under for like a year...god, everything just fucking SUCKS....
I'll wrap this up by saying, thanks for being a great friend ever since you moved in back in 8th grade. You were such a cool guy, you never gave me shit for dressing or being "different" or anything like that. You were just an awesome person to hang out with. I can never look at your house the same way again...the garage door is always gonna be closed, no jacked-up cars on the front, no Chris on the front either. This neighborhood is gonna be a whole lot fucking quieter without you, and I mean that literally and emotionally. A lot of people miss ya and always will, and well, I hope you're having fun wherever you are right now. Hopefully I'll see ya in another life Chris, but it was great knowing you in this one. I send all my condolences out to your family and friends, and in the non-gayest way...I love ya man.
-Robert
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...argh...fuck...kill......
Damn, isn't my site fuckin pimp now!?!?!? I got rid of the annoying frames and added those new links at the top. They're fucking awesome. God dammit.
So, today's Fernando's birthday. I hope all you Houston punx got to see the 30footFALL show last Saturday, it was awesome. Well, all the bands played short sets, but it was still cool. I got a free CD. It kinda sux.
Speaking of shows, there's a fuckload of punk shows in March (see left table).
I shaved my legs today. If you want a pic of my sexy legs (I haven't made one yet) then email me. Ok, later.
Finally, an update written by me, the "spikey haired fuck" (Robert).
So, two great things have happened in my life since the last update. First, there's gonna be a cool punk show in February, and second...well, there's gonna be another cool punk show a month after that. If you live in the Houston area take note of these punk as fuck shows:
Speaking of Anti-Flag, if you haven't heard the news, this Pittsburgh punk quartet is working on their forthcoming album on FAT Wreck Chords (believe it or not). Bassist Chris Head #2 is debuting his singing voice on this record, but he's only singing on two songs. You can read about their other studio updates at the Official Anti-Flag Website.
Me and Adam haven't recorded our song L.A.U.R.A. yet, but it's worth the wait. You'll feel like you're warped back to the crusty 1980's punk scene once you hear this song...it's gonna rule.
Oh, and last but not least, I'd like to congratulate our (s)elected president George Dubya Bush in ruining America's future. Oh well, at least it'll last only 4 years, and once our economy self-destructs thanks to Bush's tax cut, we'll know who to blame. Damn nazi Republicans.
P.S. Check out Rachael's essay on accepting different people, and Adam's new and improved abortion essay. Yes Adam, I said IMPROVED...it's better than the original one. Hehe...ok, bye.
Two new essays up. Finally one written by Robert! There is also another one by that sexy mutha Adam. Straight edge nazis...
Not too long ago, Mtv ran a movie about the killing of Matthew Shepard, a boy killed because he was gay. Now it seems that on January 26th a buncha crazy as fuck religious fanatics are gonna be protesting Mtv studios because Mtv supports gay rights. This shit is really starting to irk me...
Tomorrow we have plans to record a new song called L.A.U.R.A(loud, angry, ultra, radical, asian) and put it on this here site. I hope you all enjoy our unique brand of country/rap. Ha. Seriously, it's more along the lines of shitty sounding old skool punk. Mock us to your hearts content.
Drummer wanted! If you are in the Houston area and are interesting in being the drummer for our world domination campaign(punk rock band), send an email to the owner of this crappy site and talk to him about setting up a practice. We're hoping for something that sounds like MDC getting drunk and getting some orgy action on with Operation Ivy, Devo, and the Dayglo Abortions. 9 months later they give birth to Sonic youth. What does that sound like? A fucking cool band!
This update was written by Adam...or as the police like to call me, you humping the tree.
Lars Frederiksen, the lead guitar playa in Rancid has just finished recording a solo record with his band "Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards" which will be released on Hellcat records at the end of March. A tour will follow shortly.
Expect some songs recorded by Robert and Adam to be on this site soon and well as an already recorded song of us playing Op Ivy's "Bombshell". Expect disappointment.
Happy new year. I'm giddy.
Oh, and by the way, this update was written by Adam since Robert never updates this damn site. Spikey haired fuck.
Dammit, nothing that cool really happens in my life. So uh, I added a Pictures section, and a words/opinions section. Check out Adam's original essay about sexism in that section, and if you want me to post something on there just email me. Ok, later.
-Me and Adam got beat up but we found the fuckers that did it the next day and Charlie (our hero) beat the shit out of one of those wigger motherfuckers.
-Butch, lead singer of the great 30footFALL, signed my guestbook...hell yeah. Butch is fucking cool
-A gay guy gave me his number cuz he thought i was gay (?) oh well
-I found out how much Black Flag kicks ass
-I got laid (yeah right...)
That's about it. Tomorrow I'm gonna go see Middlefinger so that'll be cool. Me and Adam and Annie might also play at our school's "chili supper", that'd be cool if i can get the performance on this webpage. Alright, later.
