365 days : first date

2/11/19

This young man drove 5 hours to take me on a real first date ... I was 3 years older and and in passing he heard I had never been asked out and picked up in a car and taken out.  So, the young gentleman that he was....he made it happen.

I still remember how nervous this young punk rock kid was when he asked. 

We had known each other for a few years because he hung out like a little brother in our circle of friends. 

Just a kid.

I couldn't say no, because he put so much effort into it and he really was a sweet heart.

Picked me up in his classic Caliente car that he had just had repainted....and if I remember correctly we got rear ended in Little 5 Points on the way to the movie.

He kept his cool.

I believe we saw a movie, had dinner, and he took me home, walked me to the door, and kissed me on the cheek.

I believe he was just 16 or 17 and I was 19 or 20....

I had moved many times, and we both went through many changes...

The other day when I was cleaning, I found a stack of postcards from throughout the years he had sent me.

Back before the internet etc...

postcards :)

A young man who wrote.

and was also very punk rock.

What a flipping gem.

well,

Today is his birthday.

47 

He has grown up, 

No, this is not the Dude.

We still adore each other. 

We talk almost everyday and we always joke we have the longest surviving 

long distance relationship ever.

I don't believe we had ever kissed or anything else...

Always a gentleman.

I'm grateful he is still in my life. 

This big badass man....

Happy Birthday, Travis

it's been about 30 years 

xox,

write ya later,

The Vibrators - Punk rock, baby

This is what I did last night...

Went and saw old skool punkrock...

back when it was hardly more than pop...

Best thing  I'm now old enough to buy merchandise and not break the bank.

that has got to be the coolest thing about getting old and having money

Enjoy a few minutes of fun, on me.

Freedom of Speech at it's Finest

I'm sure you have seen this by now...

It's beautiful.  

This is why Independent Thinking is a great quality in a kid.

Give me some tunes>>>

So I know other bloglanders have done this...I need some new music. Every time I go to download something I end up downloading the same old crap.

So My friends...Love me...and give me some new music for my graduation.

I just need names of bands. My creativity is picking up.

Tonight, I am gonna sit down and KNIT!!!

Tomorrow, Garden and toenails...

it's coming back, I'm sure something amusing will happen soon.

ohhhh M Jacobs...

If you hadn't been such a nerd all those years back in punk rock days...wearing your khaki pants and long flowing hippy hair...you would have known we were all about the Catwoman eyes, in 1987.

Just ask Soo Catwoman

it's ok...i still adore you...and your Simpson Tattoos

Old Skool Punk

I think this is why I think the kids today are so cute. I love the little punkrock 7th graders. I remember how hard it was to get funky clothes. Literally, I had to go to the Salvation Army to get clothes. My poor mom...she would beg me not to wear some of the stuff I had...and I would say , "think of all the money you are saving!"

I'm the little punk rocker in these pictures...It was probably around 1986/87...
I'm tiny...like a midget...But Boy I could work that punk rock 'bidniss'.
Shaved heads and no worries, I had no idea or care what people thought of me.
I just assumed everyone loved me.
Last night I spent 4 hours dealing with the ancient Apple, hooking up the only scanner we have and started scanning pictures for Facebook. I obviously was either the thief of many photo albums, or had the need to photo EVERYTHING from 1983 onward. Boxes and boxes...and I only made it to 1987...I was trying to be careful what I would scan so as not to start any fights among new lives, because I believe many of my old friends, never really talk about their past...I appear to be a common denominator in many people's lives. I think I was possibly the good common denominator, I had many groups of friends, many who didn't realize they crossed paths in the ways which they did. There were not many pictures of me, because I was probably taking the pictures...but there were many many pictures of people, in different day, a different life, possibly secret lives.

An old boyfriend posted....
"if I had a dollar for every brain cell I killed back then...I wouldn't have to work now!"
Everyone agreed.
