[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]Speaking of edgebreak, my sXe friend is turning 21 next week and breaking edge in celebration. Silly, but an excuse to drink. It'll be the first time he's ever had alcohol, so it should be a blast.[/QUOTE]
So he was edge as long as the law required him to be?

Reiner, you're retarded if you don't go to this.

[QUOTE=littledrummerboy]Agreed, I don't see why they do that. I mean it's cool to not do drugs and fu[b][u][/b][/u]ck random girls all the time but why flaunt it and label yourself? Its friggin dumb.[/QUOTE]

I think edge is pretty silly unless you have alcoholism in the family or you are a recovering addict and need something to cling on to. It made sense in the 80s, but I just think it doesn't make much sense today.

This is all under the pretense that you are one of those semi militant, edge-merch wearing people. If you do it for yourself, then good for you.

This is something that needs to stop. I'm not pointing out you, just everyone does this. Stop assuming these things. It's like assuming all hardcore is, is heavy guitars and fighting.

Agree'd

My brother's a drug abusing [SIZE=2]f[/SIZE]uck, most of my friends are cocain fiends or alcoholics or stoners, and I've lost friends to heroin. I did it mostly for myself, although these events do seem to be a form of motivation in pursuing this life and hopefully setting an example to them if they ever wise-up.

You're edge J?

[QUOTE=REINER]

yeah they do, do you have like running in the morning and then training in the afternoon? Thats what we have, its basically non stop running, plus i didnt run during the summer, i should've though, im regretting it now.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes II]If you're going to go through all the time and trouble to be edge, why would you blow it so easily? You should stick with what you believe in.

EDIT: I say 'you' generally, meaning anyone that is edge.[/QUOTE]

This is to everyone who responded to my comment.

I dunno, it's his choice, not mine, so don't ask me. I figure he can do whatever he wants to, as long as it makes him truly happy. And even if it doesn't, who are we to say?

The last thing we need is another edge discussion, though.

Nah, we do normal practice then games at night. But we do running on other days.

Andre I forgot how good M. Ward was until recently.

New Orleans is done for. RIP

[QUOTE=Chiller_Than_Most]Andre I forgot how good M. Ward was until recently.[/QUOTE]

He could have made music at any time in the past 100 years or so and still been just as relevant and great, which is something I strive for in my own music.

And I wasn't sure this was you until just now.

[QUOTE=Tyler]You're edge J?[/QUOTE]
yessir

[QUOTE=REINER]Nah, we do normal practice then games at night. But we do running on other days.[/QUOTE]

thats not that bad, i like playing in games a lot, i like the flow of the ball, practicing sucks a lot though, especially running.

[QUOTE=Damien Rhodes II]Don't get angry or anything, Johnny 'fired it up', so I was just bringing in some discussion.[/QUOTE]I was intending serious discussion, I just wanted to give Conner ****.

Seriously, every discussion about straight edge becomes a really heavy argument that ends in all of us admitting that fighting about anyone's personal lifestyle choices is retarded. Why waste time?

I'm claim edge because I believe it's the right way to live my life and I "flaunt" it because I'm proud of everything I am and everything I believe.

I've seen people waste all their potential over getting their next fix. That's not for me.

[quote]This is all under the pretense that you are one of those semi militant, edge-merch wearing people. If you do it for yourself, then good for you.[/QUOTE]Define "edge-merch". Is a Champion or Carry On shirt that says Straight Edge "edge-merch", or are we talking about Seventh Dagger shirts that say "Straight Edge Means I'll Kill You"?

[QUOTE=REINER]It's no different than having a name for a band. It represents something that you all have in common. .[/QUOTE]


For the record, that's a rather silly comparison.

Seems fine to me. Straight Edge represents the values a group of people decide to be a part of, in a band you all decide to be part of a specific type of music/sound and choose a name to represent you all. Just that a band's name can change and changes with people, and straight edge's name stays the same.

The political party comparison is better, I was in a hurry to type everything up though.

The political party one makes perfect sense, I still don't know what you mean by the name of the band.

Ehh screw it, I'm to lazy to type out everything I mean. Just know it does make sense.

Agree to disagree.

To me, edge-merch would be shirts that simply say "DRUG FREE" or "STRAIGHT EDGE" and nothing more. If it's part of a band shirt, than it's fine, but those xBBPx shirts are lame.

[QUOTE=Chiller_Than_Most]Agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]

MUAHAHAHHAHAHAH!


Hahaa, I love the internet.

Pat broke my heart.

Anyone else find s'hit like Champion's shirts funny? The ones that say Champion and then BREAK on the back. I don't think that's good straight edge marketing.

:lol:

Meridian is so good.

Seriously, Sinking Ships write some of the best songs I've ever heard. Lyrically and musically.

Oh and we're trying to put an offer down on a house behind Disneyland.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

That's only a few miles from Chain, too.

Yep, down Katella and up Euclid. Close to the Pond too, which will rule with hockey starting back up again.

Yo scott you ever go up to Gilman?

No, that's way too far.

...how faR?

good venue i hear

7 hours?

Yeah, its supposed to be really great as far as DIY venues go. I still want to go there and Che badly.

Hahah, I was gonna also mention that Chain sucks for the most part. I only see a good show come up there maybe every month or two, then it sells out.

I'm still planning on going to Bay Area with my friends once I get cash. Hit up Gilman and the Pound and try to find some more little places around for shows. We just need to find the best weekend for shows and whatnot to go up so we can have a ton of fun.

Chinese food in the middle of the night rules. Great China Kitchen is the best.

scott do u have a record list?

I do not, sorry.

I'm beat, I'm going to bed.

Yeah, true. I think I'm going to Since by Man though.
