skid row.
this is why i loved them:
"I wasn't put here to be treated
Like some disease you hoped would go
away if left alone
You can sweep me under the carpet
But, I'll still infect your need to use me
as a steppin' stone" bolan & snake

youth gone wild
it's been 15+ years and i'm still fucking pissed. pissed at the world. pissed a people. pissed at my situation in life.
i woke up this morning and immediately ran to the stereo to crank up some youth gone wild by skid row. i may be 31, but that song still speaks to me. so my husband, merritt gant, metal god- former guitarist for fucking speed metal band Overkill says to me "isn't that a little abrasive?"... all i could do was think to myself, you've got to be kidding me; you lived on a tour bus for 5 years with constant noise. whatever. yeah, it's supposed to abrasive. bah.
anyway, to my point. i realized as i time warped back to being 13, 15, 18- whatever, that' i'm still angry. youth gone wild is still me. in fact, i don't feel any different than i did when i was still a youth. i'm still just as pissed about oppression, injustice, arrogance and conformity as i ever was. actually i'm MORE pissed. i've got 15 MORE YEARS of pent up anger and frustration with the world. and somehow i'm supposed to be more mature and just take it all in stride. give me a fucking break.
kids, i'm MORE the youth gone wild than i've ever been. trying to suppress it and be the grown up is killing me. it's the reason the doctor told me yesterday i need to be medicated for my blood pressure, headaches and anxiety.
because the fucking world sucks. mean people suck. governments suck. authority figures suck. work sucks. people telling me what to do, how to do it and what to think fucking suck.
so in the words of a dear friend,
"fuck you very much"
YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
