my hometown sux-a cry for help
 

Canton, OH. Home of the Football Hall of Fame. Not ONE indie record store. I can entertain myself fairly well, but sometimes being here is a fucking drag. Is there anyone here who lives in Canton? That would be great. Holy shit, I feel alienated, and not in some hip way, either. Just KNOWING another SY fan lives here would make me sleep a lot sounder.

Pathetic post, you say? No fucking shit. See what I've been reduced to?

Better, than Gary, OH.

how old are you?, you can always move!

get over it. Every town sucks regardless of if there are indie music in it. You're always going to find something that bothers you about every place you live the rest of your life.

yea same here, everyone has mullets here

hah yeh i live in a redneck town too.
my town is one of the biggest mining towns in somewhere.
so everyone here is a bloke and works in the mines.

my town is full of rich people or people pretending to be rich.. all they care about is looking good and having everything the magazines tell them to buy.. i'm happy to move to the city next year!

which town you in?

brasschaat.. near to antwerpen.

the belgian singer admiral freebee even made a record about leaving my town. talk about a compliment :P

oh, i hate antwerpen, its okay its only that last time we drove to italy, we were spinning around antwerpen because stupid belgian roads

i know, belgian roads are terrible :D once you know your way a bit, it's ok, but for the rest.. i always manage to get lost, even by bike :P

I went to Antwerpen in february to visit my uncle, he has an amazing apartment there that looks out over this huge cathederal. Being in a band pays pretty well.

if it was this cathedral, he lives close to my future home :D


what band is he in?

yeah thats the one, there's a great ice cream place around the corner from there.
He is a band called The Mark Foggo Scasters.

i haven't heard of them but if he lives from his music, he must be pretty well-paid :D or does he also teach? thats what a lot of musicians do (including my mother)

no, he just tours alot, he got to go to japan earlier this year, and last year he played at some huge metal festival, he was the only ska act there.

thats pretty impressive.. most belgians try to play as much as possible during the summer (festival season) and that helps them through the rest of the year.

actually i feel better. you'd be miserable anywhere at anytime. now I can say to myself, "well, at least I'm not him." Thanx!

I was in yr lovely town for the Pro Fopotball ceremonies this past year, when warren moon got inducted.
it is a beautiful small town man. BEAUTIFUL. very differrent architecture than there is in Texas.

or is it any better then the fucks in Kentucky? (see What the Fuck Is Up With People in Kentucky thread)
