I remember when I used to be this angry punk in my early twenties, embracing everything that was opposite to the suburbia nightmare I ran away from.... Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. I was everything at once, vegan, lesbian, environmentalist, anicharist but mostly a hater of the highest order. Do not get me wrong, I do not think anyone engaging themselves under these titles are jerks, is just that I used these titles to cover up what an asshole I was. Somehow, it got into my head that bisexual-spelt-eating-shit-starters were the only ones worthy to be my friend. The one thing I remember denouncing the most was my taste in music. I rejected anything popular to obscure tunes with urgent political agenda. The beats and rhythm that effortlessly spelled fun during the hard times in my life was seen as sugar coating something "real". I had two t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans as my wardrobe at that time and drew some really lame comics as my "art".
I didn't really see the genius that is pop music until much later on in life, after my first break-up, after I quit my job, after I left the city I know so well and pursue an adventure in another one I have never been to.
