Okay this is interesting, so let me expand on this and go back ten years
Okay this day in LEO'S history June 1st 1996
Interests: Music, punk rock, anarchy, movies, vampires, cartoons, magic, partying, sex, wrestling
favorite music: Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Sound Garden, REM, Black Flag, Public Image Ltd, Rollins Band, Moby, Green Day, Rancid, Ramones, Aerosmith, Sex Pistols, Generation X, Sonic Youth, Pantera, Motorhead, Kiss, Lords of Acid, Guns N'Roses

favorite television shows: I don't remember watching much tv during this period, the Real World, Animaniacs, ECW Wrestling
occupation: musician/poet/whatever meanial job I could hold down for a week at a time, and I worked everywhere
life goals: To live on the floor and get paid everynight to play
current situation: I had just graduated from highschool, I was between Nicole and Sam, the bad had just changed it's name from Pale to Sound of Noise, as well as Jessi Chasin coming in on guitar, and I just discovered heroin
Wow this is like a roots thing, it's pretty weird to see what I can remember and what I don't.
Okay today in Leo's life June 1st 2006
Interests: music, movies, cartoons, comics, sex, wrestling
favorite music: Razed In Black, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, the Damned, Fear, Bile, Hank 3, Faith No More, Zombies, and so many others
favorite movies: Hard Core Logo, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Crow, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, Clerks, Decline of Western Civilization
favorite television shows: Real World Road Rules Challenge, Gilmore Girls, Monday Night Raw
occupation: bartender
life goals: To not be living on the street and to find something worthwhile to do till I die
current situation: I'm seven years in at the Taj Mahal, and still trying to figure it all out, enjoying the simple things in life, and going with things as they come along.
It's strange to see the ways I've changed, tastes can tell you alot, I went from having nothing, to be so spoiled that I thought I could fake the whole angst and torment thing, just so I could come full circle, and really be broke and struggling all over again. My tastes haven't really changed they're just fine tuned. I just think it's always a good thing to remember where you came from. So does anyone have an observation to make?
BTW I finally saw Twisted Sister last year and lemme tell you they were just as awesome to see live as they were on MTV twenty years ago.
