Break-danced:

possibly? maybe when I was drunk

Do you believe in God?

don't know. If there is one I am pretty sure he's not going to forgive me. that's why it's easier not to know. I like the idea of an essentially benevolent and loving force controlling the universe.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

less possible, but if you gave good proof I might consider it.

Do you believe in alien lifeforms?

it's certainly possible in the abstract sense. just cause it hasn't been discovered doesn't mean it isn't out there.

Have you ever thought about same-sex experimentation? Please be adult and mature about this question.

tried it twice with the same guy and it failed both times. I think that and the pre-existing stipulation of no anal was pretty definitive proof I wasn't bisexual.

Age/Sex/Location?

39. Male. Bishop, GA

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

One twin brother.

When was the last time that you've cried?

Fuck, I get tears in my eyes all the time. Mostly because I never get enough sleep and am usually kind of emotionally raw, but also in part because I am an emotional fish. I mean, listening to black gospel from the early 1960s can bring tears to my eyes for the simple fact that it was beautiful, hopeful music that was created in the face of inhuman poverty and discrimination. The last time I had a really big, gasping "I-think-I'm-fixing-to-die" blowout was when my dog of fifteen years died. I try to never do this in front of anyone, because I am a big redneck guy.

Do you post on any other forum(s) and if so, which ones?

Gearslutz, though I find most of those people impossibly cunty because of the nauseating combination of ego and self-satisfaction combined with horrible taste and general cluelessness. There are maybe five decent posters there. I don't consider myself one of them.

Velvet Rope. Also filled with blowhards working from last century's model.



What was the last good CD/LP that you've purchased?

Do you believe in God?

no, not really. I believe that faith can be a powerful force for good among people. Listen to the Swan Silvertones before you tar all christians with the same brush.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

I am a twin. I have experienced some weird stuff. But for the most part, no.

Do you believe in alien lifeforms?

I believe that it doesn't get much weirder than sea cucumbers or platypuses. Other than that, not really.

Have you ever thought about same-sex experimentation? Please be adult and mature about this question.

As my gay twin brother recently observed, I really enjoy my end of the Kinsey Scale. I haven't had any serious thoughts or experiences involving boys.

How do you align yourself politically?

I am a southern lefty. By that, I mean, I couldn't be more opposed to the sort of oligarchical rule by the rich FOR the rich that we've been experiencing. I don't think that riots in the streets and armed barricades of DC would necessarily be the worst thing that could happen. It's the committees that would follow that would totally bum me out. When it was time to meet for the Committee for the De-Genderization of the Language of the Revolution, I think I'd start to get kind of nostalgic for President Boss Hog. I really hate the "Everything about you is wrong except when you listen to me" brand of lefty.

Have you ever been in a protest march? If so, which one?

Jesus. Where to begin? Let me just hit the ones I remember...

NBAU - 1987-88. NYC, Atlanta.
Hosea Williams March to Forsyth County, GA (riot)
Atlanta March for the Homeless - '87
Citizens in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador - '88
Counter-protest of the Klan March against the MLK Holiday - 1989 (riot)
Protest of the Republican National Convention (riot)
Protest against Gulf War I
WTO Protests Seattle (riot)
Various Anti Gulf War II marches in 2003 (disappointingly, no riots. Maybe after they steal the next election)

Soccer, I think.

Have you ever spent more than $100 on a pair of jeans?

How do you align yourself politically? In terms of political theory, the basic underlying reasoning to most of my responses is steeped in a high tide of anarchist thought (Stirner, Bakunin, Proudhon, Bookchin, Chomsky, etc.) but that is carefully complemented and meticulously re-re-reasoned by a soberingly cynical and lonely world view.

born raised a catholic, I've detached myself quite a bit, I haven't been to church since I was 17. the main thing for me is, if there is no life after death, then it gives no initial meaning to this all, and that's a real scary thing to accept, so I think the idea is to give your life meaning, like a good god would intend. it's all too short to worry about it all, just gotta keep your head on your shoulders about it all, that's all really, take things one day at a time...

Do you believe in the supernatural?

like ghosts? not really...

Do you believe in alien lifeforms?

yes, I use to obsess over this, and I was so frightened by the idea of being abducted by aliens.

Have you ever thought about same-sex experimentation? Please be adult and mature about this question.

yeah, I'm pretty sure it's our nature to, there is a little gay in all of us. weren't the greeks open about homosexuality?

How do you align yourself politically?

moderate, and oh, I don't vote.

Have you ever been in a protest march? If so, which one?

waste of time, kinda like those online petitions.

How would you describe your parents?

my dad is really smart, and my mom is giving, they keep things in perspective, and that's what I think I've taken away most from them. I love my parents.

Are your parents still alive?

yes.

Do you drink alcohol?

like a fish.

If at all applicable, post a pic of yourself here:

What color socks are you wearing?

white

Are you a handyperson?

sometimes. I can usually figure out unique solutions to problems.

What game(s) did you enjoy the most in your childhood?

made up ones, like crash up derby with construx, build up a sweet crash machine, battering rams and all, and slam them into eachother. when you could no longer go, you lost the round. hall-hockey (shinny sticks) with little yellow nerf balls, my brother and I would set up laundry baskets as goals, we'd play for hours. back yard football was always another favorite.

What was the last thing that you said?

"do you need any help?"

Have you ever spent more than $100 on a pair of jeans?

never. most I spend is usually $30 bucks?

Are you shy?

yeah, a bit... just depends...

Have you ever been arrested? A Y/N will suffice, but if you feel like expanding on the matter please do.

yes, once, at a golf course of all places, and the crime, well, if you search the board you can find it. it's not that exciting.

Age/Sex/Location?

25/last time was long time ago/Warsaw, Poland.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Brother, he is two years younger than me. He is way cool although his mind is probably built like a computer.

When was the last time that you've cried?

That's a good one! A week ago, when I was biking back from my friend's village house. It was about 70 km's (45 miles) and when I was approaching the city I noticed the sandy road I'm on looks very familar. It occured to me I might be getting closer to a place where my family (with my father, who died in 1994) used to spend summer vacations since late 80's to 1992-3. And I was. It was the same road leading directly to the bunch of summer houses, but I was aproching the site from other direction. The closer I got, the more familiar the forrest looked, I knew every turn, and finally I saw the houses, clearly not used for years behind a fence. It all was a lot smaller than I recall it to be. All the memories came back and I cried. I'm not really ashamed.

Do you post on any other forum(s) and if so, which ones?

Yup, on couple of Polish music boards and two "private", just for a bunch of friends.

What was the last good CD/LP that you've purchased?

Allroh EP at Shellac gig, and three days ago Patti Smith 'Horses', and Portishead 'Roseland" album. All very good. I used to have on a cassette I lost long ago, and I think I have the Portishead album on a pirate CD that is probably scratched beyond use now. Both were cheap.

What do you see if you look directly to your right?

Bunch of used and unused CD/DVD-R's and a stack of cassettes at the top, some papers at the bottom.

What was the last book that you've read?

Chrarles Bukowski's "Ham on Rye"

Are you single or in a relationship?

single

Oustide of this board, what is your nickname?

"keaper". I'm a goalie in a amateur football (soccer) club.

Can you recall your very first music purchse? If so, what is it?

Either Nirvana "Nevermind" or one of the Queen albums ("The Game" mayebe). Probably Queen.

[quute]Please list three bands that you enjoy immensely:

Allroh
Nina Nastasia
Karp

Break-danced: N

Do you believe in God?

No. And I have problems with people who believe they're in position to force other to live according to rules which base on religion.

Do you believe in the supernatural?

I don't believe that something is "supernatural" as opposed to "natural", in the meaning there is something magic about it. But I do believe our knowledge is limited so certain things may appear as "supernatural" for us. But they're explainable.

Do you believe in alien lifeforms?

Sure. It's selfish to think we're the only planet with life forms. Just go out of city on a clear night and look up. And realize that some of the stars you see are actually galaxies, even bigger then the one we are in.

Have you ever thought about same-sex experimentation? Please be adult and mature about this question

At 15-16 I was wondering how would I know If I was gay. I concluded I'm not cause tits turn me on too much (I'm being serious here).

How do you align yourself politically?

I don't. But I'm definitely more liberal in terms of moral standards than the liberal wing.

Have you ever been in a protest march? If so, which one?

Against Iraq Invasion. Also, in.. I think it's call "day of equality". Sort of like Gay-pride in U.S. I think.

How would you describe your parents?

Oh shit. Both are/were great, really, really great.

Are your parents still alive?

No, my father is dead

Do you drink alcohol?

Yes, and I'm pretty certain I could out-drink you. Yes, you.

If at all applicable, post a pic of yourself here

What song do you want to be played at your funeral?

We don't have a tradition of playing songs at funerals in Poland. "Beautiful September" by Jackie-O Motherfucker would be good.

What color socks are you wearing?

I'm barefoot at the moment

Are you a handyperson?

Again, I had to google for it. I guess so.

What game(s) did you enjoy the most in your childhood?

Oh.. All the sport-related, really. I think I could enjoy every sport related game ever invented

What was the last thing that you said?

Something along the lines "I'll pick it up at five o'clock, see ya"

Have you ever spent more than $100 on a pair of jeans?

No! Even with today's dollars lever I wasn't even close to it.

Describe your favorite band in one word:

I'm thinking about my favorite band here! Important (to me).

Are you athletic?

Yes, but also overweight.

Are you shy?

Yes but mostly towards girls. This and my laziness are the things I hate the most about myself.

[qoute]Have you ever been arrested? A Y/N will suffice, but if you feel like expanding on the matter please do.

No, but I was surprised I wasn't. I already described the situation on the PRF, will find and post link later.

Why do you enjoy this board?
