here's something i hate

i should be talking about the shows i did this weekend in ohio which were pretty good and had some juicy bits of discussion boiling in my head on the drive home yesterday, but i'm too tired from my stupid day job to create anything positive with my brain.

SO,

here's something i hate.
I'm getting really tired of guys combing their hair up into a mohawk. they don't have a real mohawk. they style up their normal preppy hairdo into a mohawk. a real bold social statement. i hope they wait until after they put their polo shirts on to goop up the hair, otherwise they might get gunk on their $40 shirts. this pisses me off. it's like using a clip on nose ring or a three day tattoo or driving a fiero.
where's the sacrifice? these guys don't understand that being cool takes sacrifice. remember all those people who were "cool" in high school? well, most of them are filling in donuts or paving streets now because they were so cool they didn't do their homework.

i mean, i had a mowhawk. HAWK. Sure, it was for about a week and a half, but a REAL MOWHAWK nonetheless.

You're not allowed to wear totally normal hair for your boss downtown and a crazy faux mohawk for when you walk around in an army surplus store, or a punk record store where you have no idea who 98% of the artist's are.

grow up. be yourself. and the next time you think about perpetrating someone else's culture, you'd better be running around screaming and cutting your chest in a sweaty club in London.

that's what i did when i had my mohawk.

and when i first got my yin yang tat.

big sigh,
