I've never actually been to a wawa. i think it's kinda lame to drive 40 minutes out of yr way when you can just go to seven eleven.

Burger King killed thier ass. Even after working at Burger King for 4 yrs I still prefer the whopper jr to any other.

Ha, yeah, I could work for two hours and have enough money to buy a record, fill up my gas tank, or go to the movies.

The good ol days!

Life was good and cheap. We lived in a big suburban house and I think my parents' monthly mortgage payment was around $100.

i turned in 14 applications this summer, and repeatedly went back to the places to inquire and never got a job.

ive got to pay for these records somehow...

What the hell happened since then. It ain't easy these days.

WHAAAAAASS?S??S?S?S?

no wai.

ok then you no real bawlmore-- you're a new yorker! you should be writing about grays papaya or something.

fuckit, i miss bawlmore

haha, remember - i just moved here 3 weeks ago! i was enrolled in a tiny gated college in TOWSON, MARYLAND before that!


and grays papaya is fucking delicious...in my vagina...

vaginas are good!

but anyway oh you were in towson!? ah ha ha... how is the recher theatre these days? the first time i went out with madame !@#$%! we went to see sleater-kinney there.

you went to school where? i only know towson u and that's no "tiny gated college"

Haha, I've never been to the Recher - it's extremely rare that they have shows that are even relatively decent. I had heard that SK played there once, as did Liz Phair apparently. But I was always driven/eventually drove to the city/dc to see bands play.

And I went to a lil place where the pseudo shoeless hippies run free, about a mile north on dulaney valley road. We are known for being the first school to have a zombies game. Our motto is education without boundaries.

ha ha ha-- GOUCHER COLLEGE (i googled)

yeah i know the HW exit to that

the uppity bastards claim to be in bawlmore. no!

where are you living? and is the ottobar still open? booohooo i am homesick :(

(i lived in dc though, but went there often)

Haha, yup! You are right, son!

The students and the administration hate each other. It was a lame decision to write the address as Baltimore. It's not Baltimore. It's fucking Towson, Maryland urban sprawl.

I live in Charles Village...a couple of blocks away from the Ottobar. It has great drinks but is completely infested with hipsters who go there every Tuesday for lame dance parties.

deerhoof at the ottobar was the highlight of my existence in 200...5?

i should start posting you the emails i get from the bank-- they inherited tarantula hill's mailing list but that went down in flames (literally)

Nomadic shitpunk with a carved out sound of death industrial dub, LA synth punk and trunk rattlin BASS

-------Angels in America (Ecstatic Peace Records, Montreal)
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Angels_in_America/

"definitely one of those out of nowhere experiences where you encounter something with no reference or connection to any of the noise, punk, no wave, junk, skuzz musix you’ve been soaking in and it completely grips yr mind and purrs against yr sweet spot. Weird, sultry, damaged and almost always falling apart with lyrics spun from some poet head zone, Angels In America are a goddamned curiousty"
-Thurston Moore

-------Special Noise (Montreal)
http://www.myspace.com/specialnoise

"This is a band that has everyone in awe. If you mention the name Special Noise among local indie musicians, eyes widen, you receive a measured smile and then a slow approving nod." -The Coast.

okay. done here.

i went to a deerhoof show at the ottobar in 2007, right when friend opportunity was coming out. it was a pretty amazing show.

and yes, yes! please do!

<-- you are pretty incredible.


i'll message you my email address :-D

"yeah, they tell these kids to go to school so they can get a diploma to get a job, but they don't be telling them how that job is going to exploit them, thats why I be like fuck they schools"





Working for money and the system too
Thought the dole queue made you worthless
Now you're slaved to a public machine
Getting somewhere...is this what they mean?
Worthless....not enough money!
[Chorus:]
I'd rather work for money
Than just for something to do
But then why bother working at all?
Do you want to stay totally normal?

I'm 23 and I've had four jobs and none of them have paid me properly (part-times and shit). In fact, the current one is an internship and they pay me nothing. At least I get me student benefits.

Internships are pretty rad actually because they help you stick yr foot into the field of yr choice. It might suck now, but it can probably really help you out in the future.

Congrats on getting the job, Anngella. I got my first one a few weeks ago, it's more work than I thought, lol, but I like it there, the people are really nice.

That's minimum wage!

But hey, I've been working at my job for a year and only make $7.50.

my first job.......

Thanks for lagging my computer with that gigantic picture, Shaun.

my computer hates you, tcpotbntmy

congratulations!

my first job was $10 an hour, i thought it was awesome cause the other kids at school were making less, and then i realised the guys at work doing the same thing were getting $28 and then i didn't think it was such a good wage haha
