I was talking to my lady the other day and she was saying something about me looking like a hippy and I was like “I’M NOT A HIPPY!” hahaha - this is something that is ongoing. It’s like when people think another person resembles someone or a certain attribute simply by appearances and I’m like - NO, and why does everyone think I’m a hippy??? Either way - I’m just a dude who enjoys the beach a lot hahaha, and I need a surfboard apparently (as well as more visits to the beach).

On that note - I am not a hippy although at one point-in-time I did consider my style of music to be a form of “Hippy-Punk.” I updated that entirely due to my distain for being called a hippy even though I have nothin’ against ‘em (I’m like whatthefrig makes me a hippy???). Whatever! Thus: Beach-Coast Punk. it’s kinda the same in a weird way. Hm.

Not that it really matters, but I’m into punk rock and also dreamy vivid idiosyncrasies (in art/film/music and so on), more importantly I enjoy the simple things in life a lot more often these days - so don’t expect me to amaze you with my knowledge of every single album and song and fact about astonishing things about the music scene or what-have-you.... I can tell you plenty of a variety of things in the music world that I’ve learned about, but I’m like you know, if it applies surrre, why not, I guess, we’ll see...as someone who listens to music I prefer something that has a good melody or hook or something catchy, or really good beats, but above all else something genuine to offer (not just something meaningless or kinda hollow, over and over again) - I don’t like to hate on styles or genres anymore like I used to because I realized I was only placing a limitation on myself as someone who is supportive of the arts and music and people being able to pursue their creative aspirations or even technical ones (whatever the case may be), although I still really don’t have a good vibe about certain styles or “artists” (usually the ones that provoke and enable the really dark and sick side of the music industry, or just the ones that are flat-out duuuuuuumb or lame).

I don’t have anything against hippies or anyone who says I look like one I’m just saying I’m a regular dude - I’m a former band geek and like a movie-nerd who really loves the beach and way too much 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s pop culture (or perhaps... maybe not enough? hahaha). Yes I play music, Yes I love tie dye (hahaha), Yes I have long hair and definitely have my own way of doing things, but DUDE, I’M NOT A HIPPY. hahahaha!

Well, back to the day.

Keep it Friendly.
