Out Of Place Hippie And Punker~hello!

Sloth Outta Here!

Hullo out there... Hope you enjoy your time here Carol..

 

There's more of us around than yer think, Sloth.......welcome and various

 

Let me extend the welcome mat. I just recently found “The Hip Forums” myself and I know what it’s like to be a newcomer. You don’t really know what to say or how to act. Read some of the threads so you can get the gist of what topics are being discussed. When you feel comfortable jump right in and get your feet wet. Nobody here is going to “Flame” you, that’s not tolerated here. From what I’ve found so far is that we are one big family with many brothers and sisters. Once again the doors open come on in, open up your heart and mind, kick back and stay awhile.

Welcome Sloth. I am a newby myself. I sometimes cross the pond as I've got family in Connecticut. Not soon though. I almost went into jewelery making myself... went to uni instead... bad choice ... should have gone for the van and the jewelery... I know I know .. its never too late ... but it does get more difficult to convince the other half.

well i was thinking that about punk and hippie to, they show some things that are the same. but some people see it as two different things (maybe just because the STREETpunk scene is so big, and that they do forget there is an other way of being punk to). have a nice time over here

 

woow sounds like you want some action to change some things in the world, eh?

Sloth Outta Here!

 

Hey there Steve:
Lot' s of questions from ya~
Cool~I am up for all of them~
I thank you very much for taking
the time to chat with me~
I was born July 19th,1956~
I am 49~
Born in Little Neck,Queens,New York~
The rest of my life in Brooklyn,New York~
I am of Irish,Italian,and Maltese decent.
I finished high school and had some college but when
my dad refused to let me go to Pratt Inststute For Art And Design that
I was accepted to,I could have just been burried
right then and there as my dreams for myself seised to exist.
After that I did not give a damn what the hell happened to me~
35 years later I look back and say where the hell
did the time go and what the hell did I do for myself?
The Brooklyn that I grew up knowing,having only Jewish,
and Italian friends does not exist anymore.
Brooklyn is 90% of mixed races.
For that I feel like the white rice in the mixed bean pot.
I do not feel good fearing for my life everyday
or worring who my kids are going to end up with,
or which side of the families will not accept either person or the half breed
kid that might come from it.
I have learned the hard way that mixing the races,did not work for me~
I was raised a certain way and though I try very hard to accept not even just to tolerate most things about people all I see are my parents faces bashing me as a teenager when I asked why they were so predjudice?
I do not like standing out like a sore thumb whilst looking around me and seeing only one color of people and how they look back at me in return as if to say hey lady what the hell are you doing where we live?
My first husband is a Greek~
We hooked up because at 18 my dad broke my jaw by punching me through the kitchen wall because when he told me to stop waitress-ing I said no and got told his way or the highway and kicked out of the house.
I had no choice to move in with a co-worker~
My Greek husband to be~5 years older than me~
We did not like or love the other and I got pregnant on purpose so not to have to go back home~
It was 11 years of hell~
We divorced and I returned back to waitress-ing only to meet a Guatemalan,bus boy who be friended me~5 years younger than me~
We became friends,eventually married and have 2 kids together.
Now he is the head waiter for the diner that he warks at~
We are married 18 years~
My parents,my whole family have no desire to know me or them.
Nor did they the first time around~
Yes,I do feel alone and very angry for the sins that my parents comitted against me and mine.
I do not look at people for their color or their race anymore~
I react toward them by the way that I am treated.
It has also taken years of therapy and meds to fix and control my Bi-Polar,
Depression and OCD disorders.
I have proccessed all that you said and it makes alot of sense to me~
Words that one can't read or hear from a therapist~
Your words are what you lived and that's the best teacher of all.
Yes,I do know where Syracuse is~
One of the nicest boyfriends that I had is from there.
I use to go there and visit whenever we had breaks from school like holidays
and stuff.
We still keep in touch after 35 years~
He too is married for the second time and is happy now.
The kind of painting that I do is mostly design but I also do realisim.
I still bead and make jewerly selling the stuff in the Village during the street fairs.
I don't think that at 49 I have much time left at all.
I don't drink,drug or smoke anymore because just for health reasons alone
I just had to stop~
I miss it all like hell!
The music~
Well that never stops playing in my head~
From the Doo~Wop all the way to Death Metal and all that is
and was in between depending on my mood I still like to hear~
But I am a loyal and loving friend and fan of the Ramones~
Of which I wear my tattoo of them proudly still.
If we had tattoos and piercings back in the day there
would be no safe place on my bod that I would have
pierced or tattoo,but at 49 I think that my Ramones
tattoo will just have to do although I do have 5 holes in each ear~
I have always maintained a weight of 135 lbs.
but I am about 180 lbs. these days.
I am 5'1 in height.
I still am a certified red Cross Life Guard~
Stll swim laps like when I was on the swim team in high school~
It's nice to know that you are a Southern Man~
I have a good friend named Ricky Flake from Bilouxi,Mississippi~
He is about our age~
Everytime that we talk on the phone his accent still throws me~
It is so super cool~
New York City is the bomb!
Super cool,especially the Village!
If you ever come up this way let me know~
I could take you on a tour of all the cool places and people there.
In closing I would just like to say that I believe that we are all more a like than not.
That at times I still feel very alone even in a place full of people.
I have always been the out cast and the big mouth and the one who stood out in a crowd~
Sometimes I still act and do stupid things when I am in the street just to
be the attention getter~
Maybe that's what keeps me young~
I think that at 49 I can still walk the walk and still talk the talk~
It feels very nice to be able to put down my baseball bat and the fight for
even a little while to rap with the coolest people I ever met from this mb.
You are a good friend Steve~
Talk to you soon~
As always Carol/SLOTH
