I think I fell into the cracks of LJ again. BAHumbug. Whatever. Some old faces are still "friends" with me here.

Heres a good update on what I have been doing, since so many people love asking me.
Pursuing the dreams of a revolutionary that so many find it very unpleasent and even though I wish I could comment to myself that "I dont give a fuck," I can't. Being around friends and friends that understand and enjoy being around me is better then alienating potenial friends. Im pretty ardent on being vegan, straight edge and an anarchist. However, unlike most people and the stereotypes you'll witness in pop culture, I dont go off about some fucking idea forever when it really doesn't matter to anyone at the moment. I have decided to venture into the "lead by example" path, hell its easier and I dont have to find comfort in some revolutionary who has been dead for...who gives a shit. What has come to my attention are the limitations I put on myself because unlike most people at my age I reckon I don't do the same things. Heres some projects and struggles I helped with.
-The Gaian Mind Collective/AGC
-South Central Farms
-Anti- Sweat Shop Action
-Peter Young Funding

What I love to do for fun: Going to hardcore/punk shows and doing what I do best...sweat, scream and smile. Thats not it though, cooking some mean vegan food is heart warmer. I obsess about riding my bike everywhere and I love riding with people who are interested. Reading endlessly is still a practice but my reading has become perpedicular to others and my old self. I've taken a liking to existentialism, anthropology and whatever devious plotting story filled novels I can find(Evasion, Fight Club). Fuck it, I refuse to draw attention to my enjoyments.

How School is Going: Well I had a really shitty year. The lyrics by Bright Eyes describe very well what happened. I just happened to have "lost the plot." I became an anthro major and pissed off some teachers because of my critiscm on their teachings and contradictions. I had a bit of a breakdown too, spiritually and mentally (listen to Jedi Mind Trick's "The Great Collapse," and youll see what I mean). The collapse dealt with class differences, hating white people and the nation of Islam, that pretty good sentence that described it. However Im springboarding to get the fuck out of CSUF and go to either:
-a school that studies ethnocentrism
-become a militant in the Congo to legally kill poachers of elaphants and gorillas
-herbalism school
-enroll into the teaching drum(an entire year of primitive skills)
-temp work and rebuild the so cal hardcore punk scene through mutual aid and collectives
-travel for awhile. Okie homeless style.
