10 Years Ago Today…
I am not going to do any top 10 lists or decade wrap ups or anything like that, but I think I should have a post or so looking back to where my life was 10 years ago. I was in college at Penn State. I hated it. I was this punk rock kid but all my friends were ravers in the mid-late 90’s DC club scene. I went to two parties that night a hotel party and a hose party at a spot called the Crack House. I didn’t drink or do drugs so I was responsible for driving people around. I also was really into wrestling for some reason. I have a bunch of footage from that night, but the only thing I have online is this video of me and my friend Dylan wrestling at the hotel party. I am pretty sure this was at like 10 PM, because I know I spent midnight and most of the night at the Crack House. I think the most embarrassing thing about that era of my life was bad pants choices. Despite my punk rockness at some point after 1999 I started wearing raver pants. In the vid I am wearing ice camo which was made popular by this local punk band called the Infertil but in the context of the rest of the party they look pretty ravetastic. Over the next year or two I bought at least one pair of JNCO’s and at least one pair of UFO’s. Mistakes were made.
Once for Halloween I went as myself in 2000. I wore JNCO’s and the unfortunately tight He-man ringer tee that I am wearing in this video. I also rocked SOAP shoes and a jacket with flames on it. It is almost too bad Y2K didn’t destroy me then…
Anyway, watch this stupid video of me wrasslin’ to rave beepin’ and then let’s hope that I don’t look back at my life 10 years ago and have the same regrets I do now. Let’s hope the regrets are much much worse. Go out and kill tonight. I’ll be the belligerently drunk guy waving glo sticks like it’s 1999.
