i'll be honest...

[seasonchange]

i am not:
-all that crusty
-a seasoned train-hopper
-an alcoholic
-well-versed in punk
or -a musician

i am:
+trying to live a life wholly in line with my ideals
+traveling broke
+always eager to meet folks from similar and different backgrounds
+restless and independent
+attempting to translate my experiences into something beautiful

my name's lo. i was raised in the midwest, where money cures what ails you (welcome to america). from birth i've been pounded with conservative ideals, but have found myself leaning towards the moderate/liberal side of things ever since i could formulate an opinion.
i've learned that you can live quite happily without much funding, and certainly without a 9-5.
i've found that if i settle down for too long, i start to sabotage the things that give me a sense of stability (relationships, housing arrangements, odd jobs).
i'm an only child; i feel like this sums me up pretty well. i do pretty good on my own.
i think too much, and like to write. i think it's one of the only times i'm honest.
i like taking pictures of things exactly as they are-- in varying states of decay, especially.

i'm easy to please. i won't learn a lesson until i fuck up. i will always say too much.

[Eden]

Are you me?

 

[doghead45]

No, Eden that would make far too much sense.

 

[adanisback]

haha yea you sound similar to me, welcome to StP. How was it growing up in the midwest? I really want to wilderness squat around that region.

 

[notconnerR]

I hope this trend continues. Crusty punks piss me off.

 

[catpee]

(and between you & me, only my ketchup bottles are crusty)

 

[Mouse]

Crusty punks piss me off.

agreed

Hello new person!

 

[christianarchy]

Howdy, welcome. Which direction you headed?

 

[seasonchange]

currently headed west. visiting friends in california, then headed to nawlins for halloween. back to austin after that to make some money. i'm going to try and get into a drug study, then travel a bit more in the warmer climes.

hshh: how far west you headed? and which way south?

shwilly: i think you mean 'good luck sister.'

eden: maybe. *shrug*

adan: do it! i grew up in michigan. i can bike to lake michigan from my hometown in under two hours and camp out on the beach! it's lovely. free state parks and lots of abandoned buildings / woodsy dwellings waiting for you.

notconner & mouse: hahaha.

catpee: thanks! makes two of us.

kind welcome's appreciated. excited to explore these boards a bit more. hope to make your acquaintances (that sounds funny) irl one day!

 

[recalibrating]

That is nothing to be ashamed of

 

[MiztressWinter]

So why do so many people seem to hate the crusty punks haha

I could answer this but it would take all day. I will say this however, not all people that listen to crust punk or are *crust punks* are bad. If we're gonna throw out labels, I would say my partner is a combination of *Crust punk/hobo/hippy/hopper/anarchist/activist....* and I could keep going on. And he's freaking awesome. Just sayin....

I think if you're going to judge someone, judge them on who they are as a person, not what *label* they fall under. So what if joe blow like crust punk? And so what if he doesn't?

Anyhow, and moving right along...Lo, Welcome to STP! I loved your introduction. Especially *I won't learn a lesson until I fuck up*. Oh how I can relate to that....lol.

 

[hshh]

im headed anywhere im not sure yet. im in chatanooga right now and am stopping through birmingham in a couple days and then head westward for now. i was thinking of going to nola for halloween. we'll see. let me know if youl be in texas or anywehre in the southwest in the next couple weeks

 

[moe]

i think way too much as well. and so i write as well. i figured traveling out side the midwest (from chicago) would be all that swell. im headed as far as san fran or l.a. in a few days. no clue on how long it'd be till i reach san fran, but we'll just have to see.
