best convo ever

Ebee says:
good morning sunshine
joel says:
goodmorning
joel says:
how are you doing
Ebee says:
Im watching Golden Girls, eating Teriyaki chicken and browsing hairstyles on ladies home journal.
Ebee says:
i'm good
Ebee says:
how are you?
Ebee says:
i'm getting all my hair chopped off tonight
joel says:
why???????????
joel says:
I think you look beautiful with long hair
Ebee says:
yeah, but it's a pain in the ass. and my hair is sooo damaged that the last 6 inches of it look like straw
joel says:
so you're only taking 6 inches off
Ebee says:
no
Ebee says:
actually 11inches are comin off
Ebee says:
it will be just about at my chin
joel says:
thats not bad then
Ebee says:
nah, it wont be like shaved
joel says:
you might look very sexy with a bald head
Ebee says:
but it's at the bottom of my boobs right now, and it will be at my chin in like 10 hours!
Ebee says:
lol
Ebee says:
i've been almost bald before
Ebee says:
my hair was an inch long
joel says:
say what
Ebee says:
yeah, it was an inch - well maybe an inch
Ebee says:
and every color of the rainbow
joel says:
you were one of those flower children???
Ebee says:
lol no, more like hardcore punk
joel says:
cool
joel says:
thats how i used to be
Ebee says:
yeah. I was contemplating posting pix of that stage
joel says:
punk and metal combined
joel says:
you should
joel says:
now the music got tooo loud for me
Ebee says:
I had 7 facial piercings....my hair was way short...i was always drunk and angry about something...
Ebee says:
I was working at McMenamins at the time - so it was acceptable to be like that
joel says:
so basicly you were punk
Ebee says:
but then I quit working there, and tried to find another job.......
Ebee says:
but realized no one would hire me looking and acting like that
Ebee says:
so I had to "change my image to suit the corporate assholes"
Ebee says:
I hated to "conform"
joel says:
I like punk music but the genre did'nt make sence
Ebee says:
I miss the whole Scene. it was alot of fun.
Ebee says:
I love the music still, i'm rockin out to NOFX right now
joel says:
after awhile I got tired of the labels(and punk is a label too).
Ebee says:
but, now adays - it's not about the music...its about the $80 pants and shit like that
Ebee says:
it's all image now
Ebee says:
back when i was a punk - it was all about the music and goodwill
joel says:
thats why Johnny cash is my heroe if any
Ebee says:
yeah
Ebee says:
Fat Mike will always be my hero
Ebee says:
and Matt Embree
joel says:
I like nofx, they used to be my favorite and then they started getting political
Ebee says:
Punk was all based around politics from the Ramones to the Sex Pistols
Ebee says:
From the beginning it was "anarchy in the UK"
Ebee says:
I always loved NOFX, political or not.....The Decline is one of the most powerful songs ever
joel says:
punk was based on rebellion
Ebee says:
It was based upon the idea of individuality, rebelling against authority, spontaneous acts of deliquency while maintaing a spefic credo and kindness and goodwill to other punks
joel says:
its one thing to rag on the entire government but I could'nt stand the Bush bashers, plus punk rockers know nothing about politics. The early groups were more about don't bug us with that shit
joel says:
yeah, but just to other punks
joel says:

Ebee says:
The newer punks are all about bashing Bush....
Ebee says:
and I definetly agree with you, about that
joel says:
yep
Ebee says:
I think that it's fine to bash the government and political parties and war
Ebee says:
but when it comes down to bashing a certian member of government - thats messed up
joel says:
they don't know anything
Ebee says:
When I was a punk, everybody I knew was nice to everyone, and curteous to everyone - not just other punks
Ebee says:
Now, this generation...they're not "punks" anymore....They're just "scene kids"
Ebee says:
They're there for the style and the trends....it's not about fellowship of the music
joel says:
I know people in there 30's who still follow the whole punk regime and they have no lives. they still wear the same clothes and and they live off everyone else
Ebee says:
yeah
joel says:
I like individuallality, not belonging to a group but finding something inside that belongs to me
Ebee says:
I know alot of hardcore people still - like my sisters Ex and his friends... some of the most hardcore punks i've ever met...to this day! Everytime they were with my parents - it was always "yes mam, or yes sir"
joel says:
yeah
Ebee says:
and actually all 5 of them are very successful mechanics
Ebee says:
and they all bought a house together a few months ago
joel says:
right on
Ebee says:
yeah
Ebee says:
I think that people can be whatever they want to be or belong to whatever group they want - as long as it doesnt get in the way of their success
