Would you mind me asking what the motivation for going straight edge is? As an enthusiastic drug addict I find it somewhat baffling, especially making a lifestyle out of it.

This isn't an attempt to be a douchebg, I just don't really get it.

It may sound like a cliche, but my motivation for being straight edge is that I want to live a clean and healthy life. There are people in my family who drink a lot and it sickens me to see the problems they have.

I used to drink every weekend about 5 years ago. During that time, I would act like a goddamn idiot and that ruined some friendships I had. I saw my life going nowhere and I decided to make a change, so I became straight edge. I've been straight edge for 4 and a half years, and I feel it was the best choice I have ever made with my life.

My question to you is why would you brag about being "an enthusiastic drug addict"? Why would you brag about something so negative?

Not an Anthem's quote

Well, to be fair, I wasn't asking why she did drugs. I was asking why she was bragging about being an addict.

That'd be like me saying, "Last night I punched 3 people in the head because they were near me and smoking". Why would anyone brag about being retarded like that?

Same as a straight edge kid bragging about being straight edge. These are personal decisions and a choice of means to represent yourself, choice of how to live or any other justification for it. It is okay to drink or not to drink or do whatever you see fit.. personally I want to screen t-shirts that say "IT IS OKAY TO DRINK" as I've seen a rise in straight edge gear saying the reverse lately. Everyone gets drinking, or not drinking.

I agree, which is why I made the example that I did. I was just asking why someone would brag about something stupid. Straight edge or not, bragging about doing or being something retarded makes you a retard.

And you're only a real punk if you can kill the said wolves with your bare hands.

Why is doing drugs and the discussion of drugs automatically "something stupid?" Why does it (again) automatically "make you a retard?" I smoke weed often and occasionally get drunk at big parties. Am I a retard? Are Rastafarians retards because smoking the ganja is essential to their religion?

I have straight edge friends and I fully respect their life decisions. However, if they started ostracizing me the minute I ingested a drop of alcohol (or me calling them out for not partaking), I'm not too sure we'd still be friends.

I don't mean to act like I know you personally, but you sound like a pretty big rear end in a top hat if you make generalizations like that.

Also, there's a difference between someone who's addicted and someone who's an enthusiast. A crack addict might pull a knife on you for money but I doubt Joe Smith, who smokes a joint every once in a while, is going to do the same.

All I said that bragging about being an addict was retarded. If it wasn't retarded, and was something to brag about, rehab wouldn't exist.

I never said anything about people doing drugs being retarded. I never said that people who do drugs are maniacs who are going to rob you. Apparently you think I said those things, but if you read my statements again, you'll see that they aren't there.

Did Triangulum say that she was an enthusiast? No, she said she was an addict. Having no self control to the point of addiction and then bragging about it is pretty retarded in my opinion.

That goes for anything, drugs, alcohol, gambling, MMORPGs. If you get to the point where something is controlling your life, you probably shouldn't go around bragging about it.

I got my preordered copy of the new Her Breath on Glass LP. This thing is beautiful. They gave me a bonus 7 inch, a poster, and some patches with it. You really can't go wrong for 10 dollars.

This same band I saw 5 years ago (I didn't go for them, a friend's band was playing) at a Church in Indiana and they refused to play because two kids got into a fight. They also had the nerve to ask my friend Kyle, who booked the show, for a cut of the door money. What a bunch of loving douchebags.

I saw them a couple of years ago and they were a lot of fun. Everyone went ballistic when they played Pool Party.

I also met the drummer from the Lillingtons who was playing for the Eyeliners, only I didn't realize he used to be in the Lillingtons until after I left the show. That was probably for the best, because I probably would have come off as a creepy, excited fan boy to him.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I couldn't find anywhere better:

I went to Houston just to see Sunny Day Real Estate last night and came back tonight. They were awesome! They played 3 out of my 5 favorite songs (Seven, In Circles and 48), but no material from "The Rising Tide" (I don't know the goon opinion on this album because this is my first time posting in this thread, but it's a personal favorite of mine). They also played a new song, which was pretty decent but nothing special. I'm guessing that means they're writing material for a new release, but who knows.

Anyway, I'm really glad I got to see them on their reunion tour. If you get a chance to see them, take it!

My fiance saw them last week up in Boston and she said they were excellent. She recommends seeing them as well.
