“i’m a dirty frat boy on a dirty soccer team”<\/b><\/p>\n
this<\/a> is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a long time. not exactly consistent with what i saw of frat life on defiance, ohio tour though. after the show in birmingham alabama, some kids offered us a place to stay, and we took them up on that offer. somewhere in the conversation the words “frat house” kept coming up but i just thought it was an ironic house name, or maybe a former frat house turned punk house like the one we played at in bufallo. but, when we reached the security checkpoint outside of the gated and ultra-posh looking birmingham southern university, i realized that this was a frat house for real. the kids who offered us a place to stay were very nice, but on a whole, i think some of the other frat kids hated us. we got sprayed by a fire extinquisher for one, and it’s tough to tell if that was just drunken antics or some kind of primal territory marking. in any case, i went to bed before the naked dude dance party really infuriated the frat kids and before i had to be subjected to any fucked up utterances, but i’m told that both were pretty intense that night. in any case, i appreciated the kids who were nice enough to give us a place to stay, and the fact that decent people can be involved in fucked up institutions. i just hope that they can maintain the confidence to change them rather than just accomodating the things that they might disagree with. i’m also a bit distressed at how easily we all slipped in to staying there. i guess it just shows that punk or frat kid, middle class is middle class and that creates a commonality that’s far stronger than most punk kids would like to admit. it’s sad that oftentimes punk resembles the privilage, mindlessness, and elitism of a frat just as much as it resmbles something more meaningful, community oriented, or diverse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “i’m a dirty frat boy on a dirty soccer team” this is one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a long time. not exactly consistent with what i saw of frat life on defiance, ohio tour though. after the show in birmingham alabama, some kids offered us a place to stay, and we took… Continue reading 106122337821253565<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4wnIz-8b","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.terrorware.com\/geoff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
