I feel like now that I will not have a job, I can be a punk and an anarchist even MORE without apology.
Doing political work, even if it is revolutionary, means you have to be "acceptable" to the mainstream bs norms, and now I don't have to do that!
Sadly, I may now have to get some corporate job to fucking pay rent. What...

There's nothing to raise moral in a work setting than setting folks against each other and then letting the senior person go for not being as experienced as the new person.
And there's nothing that ruins discipline and motivation better than knowing that you won't have a job in about 2 weeks.
Why would I want to get anything done? Really? What can I get...

fuck work. let's go bowling! hope to see you there...
I was laid off today. It is strange; I'm not so much sad, just scared that I will mess up and find myself in a bad position soon in the future once again.
The tree outside my window is finally turning a brilliant shade of yellow, seemingly a month too late.
My plants are dying from lack of sun.
My sinuses are dying from allergies and cold.
It is almost winter, it seems, and that is great! I'm not sure why, but it is.
Send your love to Miami and to the revolutionaries in the hot Miami streets!

It is official: I can't seem to add new friends.
Damn!
Damn!

p.s. i too dig ursula le guin. have you read the lathe of heaven?
I'm all full of Against Me! energy.
They are coming back on the 18th, and I'm quickly memorizing all their new songs, like its homework or something. Like, if I don't know all the words at the show, they'll boot me!
I haven't been this into a band since... I think since Nirvana! Oh... and those unfortunate NIN days....

Friend buttons are now on top of our profiles on the left column.
I don't speak Spanish, although I can understand some of it. Also, I will be in Mexico in a month. I'll look for the musicians anyway. I have the Frida soundtrack, various mexican punk music, and Control Machete (Mexican rap). I don't let language barriers create music barriers.
As for David Rovics' voice and "new folk". I prefer his voice to that of most "folk" music, esp. to the "60's era of folk" music which I find most unlistenable. You described how I feel about Bob Dylan, great lyricist, horrid singer. I prefer bluegrass to "folk".
I'd like to see Rovics' music covered by one of my favorite hardcore bands. I would not be suprised if Atila the Stockbrocker already has, as they are friends.

It seems that, after 2 days to recover, my throat still hurts from screaming along to Against Me! on monday night a bit too much.
I've never had my throat be sore in this way before. I hope it is what I say....
Anyways, Against Me! is coming back this way on November 18th, and you better believe I'll be there, front and center, "dancing...

I saw them in Chicago in May and they played an awesome show. I need to see them play again soon.
I want to be productive on the weekends. I really do!
But my house is too messy, I guess.
I can't find my laundry soup. I need it. I need it bad, and I can't find it. I feel the need to throw a tantrum until it shows up.

Thanks for letting me know that you were interested in the PE review. Sometimes posting on the groups feels like pissing in the wind.
Hey, good taste in music. Oi Polloi! is one of my favorite bands.
I have just been getting into Jamaican Rude Boy Ska (Desmond Dekker, The Specials, and The Skatalites) and RASH (Red/Anarchist/Anti-Racist Skinhead) music (Brigada Flores Magon, Ya Basta, and Fighting Chance).
If you like rebel folk music (I see Woody Guthrie), I recommend David Rovics*, Casey Neill Trio, Utah Philips (with Ani DiFranco), Dana Lyons, Steve Earl, and Boxcar Willie.
*All of David Rovics' music is available for free in quality Mp3 at: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/16/david_rovics.html I specifically recommend "Henry Ford was a Fascist", "Drink of the Death Squads", "Vanguard" (about the Vanguardist arses at ANSWER), "Song for the ELF", and "Behind the Barricades" (for Carlo Giuliani who was killed at the G8 protests in Genoa, Italy).
Also good taste in books.

I am such a lazy ass. I worked for 8.5 hours today and got about 1 hour's worth of work done.
Well, besides the 2 1.5 hour interviews.
Hmm... maybe I'm not that lazy after all?
Anyways, Against Me! will be here November 3 or 4, I don't remember. I can't wait, though! I just can't!

I am an almost kick-ass youth organizer, fighting the man daily, as well as writing in my livejournal.
Today is the Day of the Heroic Guerrilla, honoring Che Guevara's death in Boliva 35 years ago.
It is sad, no?

he was not the greatest or the worst man, but he was a man. thanks, Che.
freelancing, I have decided, is the ultimate punk rock paycheck. especially if someone would pay me to write a column of my opinions every month. Goodness knows I've got enough of them.
There are a lot of great mods at http://www.forgottenwars.net/, but I have never seen a mod for Tales of the Sword Coast, which I've never been able to finish.
