Throughout my crusade on the internet, I have witnessed these trendy pretencious people wasting away their life by processing an image of themselves that isn't true or is just a load of shit. They pose in their pictures with crooked legs, hands at the waist, and a side smile. I believe they are worthless and they know it and are trying to amount to an illusion that truly doesn't exist.

Well, I decided to get a blogspot. I really don't care about the way I am percieved by other people. I don't have to pose for pictures and then photoshop swingly lines on my tits, mainly because its stupid and I don't have tits. I'll use this blog just as a way to reflect on my days, months, years, and life. I might ramble about certain thoughts and philosophies I have and I'll talk about music a lot, which is a really important thing to me. I don't think I'll have many pictures up because I don't even own a camera.

To start off, my name is martin. I'm currently sixteen and reside in Long Beach. I attend Wilson Classsical High School, where I've had more than my fair share off run-ins with the "authority". I really enjoy hanging out with friends. Friends mean a lot to me because they are the few number of people who actually get me and understand me for the most part. I'm really up front about things because I hate hiding how I feel. I speak in a way that makes me come off as a total asshole when you first meet me. I just don't find the need to edit what I say in order to please someone. I enjoy a variety of music. I think I have the largest variety of taste. My absolute favorite bands are Converge, Pg.99, Kayo Dot, Graf Orlock, Orchid, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Each one of those bands mean a great deal to me that its just wonderful to sit down and reflect myself through the music. I love a lot of music; genres vary: hardcore, emo(the real deal), post-rock, grindcore, crust, power violence, sludge, doom, post-metal, indie, (some) alternative, post-punk, noise, thrash, (some) black metal, and hip-hop. I tend to stray away from the mainstream, its not because I choose to on purpose. I just can't connect with it and find it not to be pure or of any artistic value. That whole music and attitude seems so shallow and empty to me. Music to me is just more than a beat, the lyrics are of great value and I see music as an attitde, thought, and feeling. Sure I enjoy it but its just a lot more than that. Hopefully you get what I mean. I also like to watch movies, but once again like music I like movies that have depth. My favorite films are Fight Club, The Motorcycle Diaries, American Beauty, American Hardcore, Friday, The Squid And The Whale, and Cb4. My favorite books are The Catcher In The Rye, The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Johnny Got His Gun, and The Motorcycle Diaries. I make a large effort to keep myself informed on events. I don't think school grades determine how intelligent and smart you are. I don't think you keep your self well informed by watching the ten o'clock news every night. The news is made to entertain you and its ran like a show. There are so many things that happen every day that aren't covered in the news. You need to put yourself out there to learn about these things. I am a socialist. I don't believe that we are equal and free with justice to all in these country. I think this country has many problems that can't be resolved in a capitalist system. I also don't believe in a god or anything higher. Therefore, I'm atheist. I hold a stong grip on my socialist and athiest beliefs. When I die I'd like to think that I actually did live a real life.
