blockhead moving to WA or CA would be lol w/ his accent

I haven't gotten carded for tobacco in forever, I remember when I bought my first cigar on my 18th birthday I didn't even get carded, which is funny because I was in my hometown which is tiny and usually strict about that stuff.

i think marijuana should be legal, but it isn't as harmless as people make it out to be. i know plenty of people that are psychologically addicted and it has a negative impact on their lives just like any other drug. i used to smoke every day prob 4-6 times a day and if i didn't smoke i always had really vivid nightmares, it was strange. i'm not condemning any one that uses weed in any way, i still smoke whenever it's offered to me, i'm just saying i disagree with the whole "weed is harmless" mantra

this guy I know who reminds me of steve got depressed from smoking it

[QUOTE=Angmar;18379492]even my 26 year old friend who has a full beard and looks his age gets carded at restaurants and stuff.[/QUOTE]

at my restaurant we're told to card anyone who looks 30 and under, i think that's fairly typical

only losers actually do it, of course

[QUOTE=adb;18379504]blockhead moving to WA or CA would be lol w/ his accent[/QUOTE]

haha yeah it would. i have lived in texas and south carolina all my life though what do you expect? i have never even been any further west than texas.

south carolina is fucking awful. majority of people there are rednecks, not much to do cause it's a lot of small towns, lots and lots of christians. the only cool thing about it is that there are lots of woods. i spent a lot of time in the woods/railroads tracks by my house smoking pot and tripping acid as a young blockhead.

worst place i have ever been in my life was honduras though. half there country has AIDS. that is a fact not a hyperbole. I went when i still went to youth group at my church when i was like 15. i didn't really believe in god/care i just went cause i had friends that went there and it was mostly just hanging out and screwing around on the trips.

the trip to honduras wasn't like that at all. it was fucking hard work. we went to this village that didn't have electricity or running water, it was literally in the jungle with a bunch of primitive boneheads. we were helping them build houses and we had to make cement blocks and then carry them up steep inclines. we had to wear long pants and shirts even though it was over 100 degrees every day because they would have been "offended" otherwise. me and two of my friends got caught smoking cigs and the people that worked for the church threatened to make our parents pay for us to fly back to america. we also were forced to do more work than anyone else and separated from everyone else and not allowed to have any fun. i never went to church again

a chain or local place?

The general law for carding is like that I think, like if they look 30 or younger you have to card them, not that it's followed strictly but yeah.

Also I agree about legalizing pot but yeah like any other substance you can develop of an addiction to it, I don't smoke often and on the days I do it's like I smoke at one time and then just take a 3 hour hiatus from life and it's all over with.

Agree. It's not really like hard drugs harmful but it can have negative affects besides psychological addiction. It affects your personality and kinda changes who you are almost when your smoking every day. not to mention its awful on your lungs and you become so laid back about it that you eventually get caught. /has happened to me twice. But It's not really that bad.

[QUOTE=adb;18379539]o dam r u a waiter[/QUOTE]

yep

made $180 cash last night

leaving again in about 5 min

[QUOTE=Angmar;18379502]Yeah weed laws are super relaxed here, people smoke in public on certain occasions (like in the parks on New Years, Hempfest, music festivals ect) and nobody gets in trouble, there were only like 40 legal cases related to Marijuana in Seattle last year so as long as you aren't like an obvious dealer or something you never get in trouble.[/QUOTE]

You might have been one of the people bashing on Classic Rock in the You Know What Sucks thread, but have you ever been to any Jimi Hendrix related landmarks there? I would love to visit Seatle. Home of Grunge. I bet there's a ton of stuff to see there in the musical landmark category.

I need a job. tired of putting full time student under my occupation

I wasn't taking part in that lol. But the biggest thing about the music scene we have here for tourists and stuff is the EMP(experience music project). It's essentially a giant interactive museum with tons of classic rock artifacts and like a big exhibit all dedicated to Hendrix and stuff hah.

It's a fucked up looking building though.

i don't think anyone here actually [I]hates[/I] classic rock. it's just that a lot of people here were into that when they were in their early teens and have expanded their taste since then. some classic rock is good, but i never listen to it any more. i'm just so sick of it and the fans are REALLY obnoxious. only band that could be considered classic rock i still like a lot is sabbath.

I saw that when it came to dallas when i was 14 or so

Haha. nice. I'm not sure where it is but before I die I want a picture of me next to the display where they made a plaster cast of his penis. And I want to visit Jim Morrison's Gravesite. All on my bucket list.

that is one of the ugliest buildings i have ever seen

I used to be obsessed with The Doors. and before that was Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. That's how I got into music. but I understand. It's all these people that say all modern music sucks that make CR fans look bad. haha. It's like welcome to 2011 fu*kers. things change. And there's a lot of good bands in the modern day.

^^HAha. Looks like a mix between the Mcdonalds playground and a band instrument.

[QUOTE=illmitch;18379560]that is one of the ugliest buildings i have ever seen[/QUOTE]


Yeah I kinda hate it lol, it was designed by that famous architect Frank Gehry, he's done a bunch of weird buildings like the Dancing House in Prague and the Guggenheim Museum in Spain.

dude its so TRIPPY

music phases for me were

pop-punk, grunge (6th-7th grade)
classic rock (7th-9th)
punk (8th-9th)
thrash metal (10th)
punk, hardcore end of tenth til now

my first phase of being into punk was just the really basic bands like sex pistols clash and ramones. at the end of tenth grade i started getting into choking victim, operation ivy, black flag, circle jerks etc and it has expanded from there.

edit this is obviously an oversimplification but yeah

Dig. Most people don't know shi* or it's just not fun. That's why I post here!! haha. I miss this forum in it's older days. i guess when it was still MX or even after that.

How old are you Blockhead?

I have a good circle of friends I can talk to music about, it's pretty cool.

i think it's gotten better honestly. this forum in particular has pretty much changed into the metal forum. i think it's the logical progression from what it used to be. and yeah curse words aren't censored here dude

Ya. A lot of the same posters are still here I guess. I miss having all the band threads tho. The Tool and Dream Theater threads used to be good. It used to be just pages of band threads.

music phases for me:
rap and punx when i was little (mostly old hardcore) because older siblings
middle school - embarrassing nu metal phase + a few local emo, metalcore, and hardcore bands + some thrash (metallica, megadeth, slayer, anthrax, lol) + thursday + taking back sunday + something corporate and that ilk
high school - realized how much i love hardcore and emo, discovered death metal, got really into metalcore, discovered black metal etc.

and i've just been refining those tastes since i guess

they're still around, just buried. you can still post in them. people are more into black metal and doom now it seems though

hardcore influenced death metal

when i first got into punk i liked mostly 77 punk bands i guess. then that evolved into the sub genres like crack rock steady and now i've been getting more and more into hardcore

I got really into Classic rock in my Freshman year. About a year after I started liking more metal and got into like Tool and Opeth and the whole prog thing and then have branched out from there. Grunge,Thrash, I have a friend who likes 80's music that I just can't get into but some of it is good. I like Van Halen some.

i remember when all the classic rock fags got buttmad about there being too many metal threads here like 5 years ago

I mostly listened to classic rock and shit like that in middle school, high school started and I got more into classic metal like Sabbath and Maiden and then just kinda continued with like Opeth and melo death until I got Bergtatt by Ulver and pretty much went crazy on black and death metal. Started listening to like neofolk and shit because I liked the folky parts in a lot of metal songs and then ambient and whatnot. Mostly just been refining those tastes ever since.

in junior and senior year of high school i always listened to leftover crack, choking victim and against me. i was so disappointed when against me signed to a major label and became a generic rock band

my metal phase was mostly maiden, slayer, megadeth and a few others

and yeah like everyone else said i've just been refining my tastes the past few years

yeah, that was pretty disappoint.

high school i pretty much exclusively listened to through the eyes of the dead, in flames, underoath, and orchid. (exaggeration, but those four bands were listened to gratuitously).

i feel like hardcore is the best punk, even though modern stuff isn't very punk at all

but yeah
