About me:
Nicks: Sharky, Sam, Flip Wilson

I live on the outskurts of Indianapolis, Indiana. I was born in Bloomington Indiana.

AIM is Ignorocracy; but im rarely on.

My general moderate life and the way i like to live it.....

I've got two really great friends, Eric & Neil (Edik & Pino) that I can't get enough of, they're both funny as hell and you can't get tired of 'em.

I like art. Pretty burned out on pencil shadings but I've found acrylic knife paintings to be my thing. I also Silk Screen, in which I have started a small business called Indy Patches. Take a look at my site http://www.indypatch es.i8.com

I'd like to sneak in some time for reading books, I love reading. Knowledge is power kids, believe it or not. I've been lagging behind and haven't read for quite some time.
Lately I've been re-thinking my life and looking at what I've done in the past. Through this I have a more positive view point on life and the people in it. I just keep my life rollin' along and take all I can get but my friend Jordan puts it best:

"when life gives you lemons, kick it in the balls and say "i ordered strawberries biotch!" life is too short to sit around accepting crappy handouts of lemons. i say take from life everything you can, its wallet, its time, its milk money, get the most out if it because you might die tomarrow. shrug it off all you want, but its a possibility. every day is an adventure, an oportunity to learn something new. if your not learning and experiencing life in news ways every day, your dead where you stand. keep searching. our time on this earth is shorter than any of us could ever guess, so every day should be spent searching for new people, places, love, happiness, pain, fear, LIFE IN ALL ITS GLORY. never surrender to the rut of a 9-5 job. the day we get chained to a business suit is the day we die, period. freedom is boundless, but that doesnt stop us from reaching out with all our might and being greedy, grabbing as 2 giant handfuls and fully embracing the adventure that awaits behind the next breath. walk through a cemetary, talk to crazy people on the bus, hit on the hot guy/girl in the coffee shop, hit on the ugly one later that day. chase squirrels, read books, hitch hike, fight, make up, make out, give all you can to those who have less, protest, support, fight with cops, shake a security guards hand, protest wrong, humble yourself to truths, learn from death, grieve about life, fight, bleed, go, stop, hate and forgive, love and learn, jump, skip, sing, dance, smile, wink, play, win, lose, FOR GODS SAKE AND YOUR OWN, LIVE!" - Jordan

The Idea...

"PUNK IS: the personal expression of uniqueness that comes from the experiences of growing up in touch with our human ability to reason and ask questions.

PUNK IS: a movement that serves to refute social attitudes that have been perpetuated through willful ignorance of human nature.

PUNK IS: a process of questioning and commitment to understanding that results in self-progress, and through repetition, flowers into social evolution.

PUNK IS: a belief that this world is what we make of it, truth comes from our understanding of the way things are, not from the blind adherence to prescriptions about the way things should be.

PUNK IS: the constant struggle against fear of social repercussions"

--Gregg Graffin (Bad Religion)

The Dress; for gods sake no!

Most punks, now days, dress a certain way because that is what they've seen and is what they are use to and therefore just dress because they want to look like that, which i have no problem with because I don't care.

I know kids that look nothing like punks, yet they have the beliefs and views of a punk. I would call them a punk, but then again what do I know? Some people would call those kids idiots and would laugh their ass off because he or she wears khaki pants and dress shoes. But those kids are just stupid.

Punks also dress like this because of social needs. The more flashy your jacket/hair is, the more attention you'll get. The more attention you get, the more friends you make. The more friends you make, the more you fit in.

Sure...the studded leather, spiked and colored hair, combat boots, and faded jeans was and is worn for the tough look and for freaking people out. But being punk doesn't mean you have to dress like this. Punk is undefined and can never really be defined. The way you dress as a punk is a personal choice. Punk has no dress code. Get it now?

Personally I would seperate punk from the dress people have given it. Say you decide to wear a patch of your favorite band. Well given that most punks do that you would probably call it punk, but in reality it's just sporting a patch. Nothing special about it.

Don't get me wrong. I sport the colored hawk, leather jacket, and combat boots but I don't do that because it's punk, because it's not punk it's just wearing the shit. I can't get enough of how it freaks the old people out and how i make friends easily. I wear the shit because I'm a thrill seeker, I'm an adventerous kind of person, and last but not least....it's COMFORTABLE!atleast what I wear is. Combat boots cost a lot, but they fuckin' last forever! My leather jacket with studs is something that I can say I MADE, not someone elses who i bought it from. It's also the warmest thing I have...and it gets fuckin' cold around this time of year! I put the studs on because it's creative in that I made it...I made the design...I put pain and sweat into that jacket and it's like a portrait of my present life and will always serve as a portrait of a part of my life. You can't have a portrait of your life on something someone else did for you, it means so much more if you make it. So what if it doesn't have as many studs as that person's or doesn't have the great artwork of his...It's YOUR jacket, in every nook and cranny. And last but not least the mohawk. It's like another canvas on my head, I can color it and do different things with it more than any other hair dew. And did I mention that it fits my adventerous style? Plus, it fuckin' looks good on my head.

Politics; it's fucked up! America has politics in Kethchup for gods sake! we're mad I say...mad!

New Rant:

I believe in anarchy, but when I say believe that does not mean I think it will happen because I know it will not. Anarchy makes sense to me, Democracy doesn't, especially when people don't exercise their rights( Come on America! kids in Nigeria would give a right arm to live in the U.S....can't we act just a little mature?) Anarchy would never work because 1 of 2 factors...first! Someone will always want to be in charge...Second! That person will most likely end up silencing anyone who opposes his/her authority, thus leading the nation back to an authoritarian state.

Old rant:

Some people pledge allegiance to America and hang their rights with their flags. Others totally disown America, and attempt to destroy it. I'm in a decided state of the two. I hate authority, if you know me you know that very well. I will never submit to a government or a leader. I will never give away my rights or privacy so that America can be safer (ignorant people- don't believe everything they tell you). I will live my life as I please. I will not let anything or anyone get in the way of that. I will riot for what is right and protest against what is wrong. I am a soldier for truth, I am a rebel for right, I am a freedom fighter.

NEWS RANT:

Afghanistan? Iraq? NOW IRAN!? god damn we're hittin' the score boards hard. I wonder how many (American and Iranian) kids we'll leave motherless or fatherless this time?

Though I think it is unlikely, the draft may be reinstated. I graduate high school in 2008, perfect time to throw myass in the military! If, I said "IF" they reinstate the draft I am packin' up and movin' to Canada. I refuse to fight in a war that has no legit meaning, especially when back at home in the states the president and politicians are spewing lies out of their mouths every second and no one will stand up and fight. You have a voice people, USE IT!







Interests:
playing with fire, having fun, laughing at and recieving karma, silk screening (screen printing), local band and Touring shows that don't charge 80 bucks a pop, making things out of cheap stuff, guitars, camping, Hiking, painting, debating, traveling, and most importantly hanging out with my bro's and sisters (not blood, but we're all human right? Then we're all brothers and sisters)

"WHAT IS ANARCHISM?
BEFORE I TELL YOU WHAT ANARCHISM IS I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS NOT.

1-IT IS NOT BOMBS, DISORDER, OR CHAOS
2-IT IS NOT ROBBERY OR MURDER
3-IT IS NOT A WAR OF EACH AGAINST ALL
4- IT IS NOT A RETURN TO BARBARISM OR TO THE WILD STATE OF MAN

anarchy is
IT MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO CHOOSE THE KIND OF LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE, AND LIVE IT WITHOUT ANYBODY INTERFERING. IT MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD BE FREE TO DO THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO; AND THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE COMPELLED TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO. IT MEANS THAT THE NEXT FELLOW SHOULD HAVE THE SAME FREEDOM AS YOU, THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES. IT MEANS THAT ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS, AND THAT THEY SHOULD LIVE LIKE BROTHERS, IN PEACE AND HARMONY. IT MEANS A CONDITION OF SOCIETY WHERE ALL MEN AND WOMEN ARE FREE, AND WHERE ALL ENJOY EQUALLY THE BENIFITS OF AN ORDERED AND SENSIBLE LIFE. THAT IS TO SAY THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO WAR, NO VIOLENCE USED BY ONE SET OF MEN AGAINST ANOTHER, NO MONOPOLY AND NO POVERTY, NO OPPRESSION, NO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR FELLOWMAN." --"Fight Back" by Alexander Berkman

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. " --Benjamin Franklin


"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsence that goes by the name of patriotism. How passionately i hate them." --Albert Einstein

"We cannot acknowledge allegiance to any human government...Our country is the world, our country men are all mankind." --William Lloyd Garrison

"Which is braver? The man that falls in line with the great majority or he who faces the wrath of millions for conscious sake?" --Alexander Berkman

"For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God Formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command, or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." --Charles Bukowski

"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we are going to perish together as fools" --Martin Luther King JR.

"Piggys beware! People that know their rights against you are among you" -anonymous
