no story, just a small vent:
IT'S BORING BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITHOUT A CAR!
that's it. almost dying has really changed my outlook on life. i really enjoy everything so much more now. i can't understand it, but it just changed like that. this is awesome, i wanna get out while this feeling lasts. i've been held up at gunpoint once and the guy robbed me of my $8. but that was different.
i'm working on getting a truck. a 91 dodge dakota. less miles on it & a ladder rack. cool huh? i gotta learn to drive stick shift though.
oh yea, my friends band's demo got reviewed in the current issue of Maximum Rock n Roll. they're called SUICIETY. so check it out. they're hardcore/punk from Norwich.
one of those kids does an anarcho-punk zine called US AGAINST THEM and it got reviewed in the same issue. My zine might be reviewed in upcoming issues of: MRR, PUNK PLANET, SLUG & LETTUCE, PROFANE EXISTENCE, AND HEART ATTACK. so keep an eye out.

I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry I missed out on wishing you well earlier, fucking computer problems.
I'm glad you're not dead! That's scary.
Yeah, not having a car really sucks. Ours just died, and now we have to get a new one. Meaning I don't get to go to the Prom in Toronto. But, um... that's a lot better than almost dying, so I guess it's not that bad.
We''re the lucky European country that wasnt directly effected by fascism in the 1940's. From around 1920 to the early 1980's, Ireland was indirectly ruled by the catholic church. They were hard times. There's always been racist nationalists but things really only kicked off when the church lost it's popularity and different youth cultures began to appear.
Fast forward to now. At the moment there is no fascist party. The closest to one is the Imigration Control Platform. Although it's leader is a known nazi, and cannot speak in public anymore after his last appearence which got him a boot to the face, they have very little support and are seen by the public to be a bunch of crazed nuts. Underground groups are incredibly small. The most these groups do is put up stickers around cities and paint swastikas on jewish buildings.
The general view among anti-racists is to nip the problem before it even grows so there is a very strong anti-racist movement in Ireland. AFA, Antifa, RAR, ARN are the main groups with RAR (Residents Against Racism) getting alot of public support and winning humanitarian awards for their work in deportation issues. Most racism here is by ignorance more then anything else. People thinking Nigerians are coming in taking our jobs, ect. so it is very unlikely we'll ever see a fascist party anytime soon.
...Yo!
