No, I can’t go wrong with the Violent Femmes and a punk rock jam.
seabrook, nh :: april 2007
I’ve spent the last few hours moving files from an overcrowded back up drive to roomy new digs.
Of course, sorting through the hundreds upon hundreds of photos I’ve taken over the past few years was exhausting. I found some I’d forgotten I’d taken. Some that made me laugh. Some that made me cry. Some that made me go “WTF?!?!”
Pony.
There are *so* many pictures of Pony it’s amazing. Scratch that. It’s scary.
I found a lot of things - screenshots, word documents filled with bits of IM conversations, Letter(s) Never Sent (HA!) - that I don’t ever want to see again. But I’ll save them. They’re part of my life, and I’ve been embracing the warts and the toxic crap I’ve been finding. I remembered - while looking at a picture that made me burst into tears - that even the shitty parts of my life have value. Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am.
That said, I was reminded of BiG MiSTAKE several times through my clean up.
This one’s for you, BG. Because, well, you destroyed the scene.
friendships - you thought were strong
torn to pieces - they didn’t last too long
and now - with nothing to hide
expose their faults - and make them see your side
(c) you destroy the scene through word and deed
the lies you spread there’s no need for you
to act that way - let’s make this a better day
once like brothers - you and me - but now it’s over
and it’s ceased to be - popularity - is now your game
you trade your friends - for your stupid fame
repeat (c)
now it’s time - to mend this scene
unity among us - would be real keen
friends forever - just having fun
this scene of ours - will be redone
