Standing on a rooftop ready to fall....

So I’ve made some decisions in my life. I’m not making my own clothes. Mainly cause I have no material, don’t know how to sew, knit or embroider, and that’s a lot of fucking material to make something. I’ll make my own food though. I really want to start an organic garden next spring, it’ll have to be at my grandfathers house. I’m thinking food I enjoy eating. Tomatoes,spinach, lettuce, green peppers, some corn. Potatoes, maybe carrots, some onions. I don’t want to grow food I’m going to waste or that I refuse to eat, so no celery or cabbage. Chickens would be nice to have, eggs and meat, but I know I can’t have those. Maybe I can make a garden and get the chickens at moms house. Where am I going with this ramble….

Ah. Now I remember. We’re destroying Mother Jord people. Almost any religion, Christianity, Heathenism, Paganism, hell, even people that believe in evolution, believe we came from the Earth. WE ARE KILLING MOTHER EARTH. I never thought I’d even be a person who could even be close to being called a conservationist, or a tree-hugger whatever you want to call me when I am done. Anyways. We are killing her. All it takes to see that is to look to the night skies, the pollution and the light killing out the moon and star light. Breathe the air people, you can taste the corruption on your tongue. I went to Florida once, three years ago. On a lonely stretch of beach, not a lot of city or even homes around, and I breathed in that sea air. All I could smell was salt and purer air than I had ever known. On top of Mont Eagle in Tennessee at a GAS STATION, the air smelt cleaner than the air in Shepherdsville. My nose use to burn coming down from 44 Hill into Shepherdsville, that is how bad it is. Now, 44 Hill smells the same.

The world is slowly being ruined. The damage done will take YEARS to fix, generations, and it may never be fixed. Thousands of beautiful environments are gone. Animals, gone. Beautiful sights and sounds will never be heard or seen on this earth again because we humans, believing to be the best, the inheritors of the earth, done what we seen as fit to the world. And that, that is bullshit. We aren’t the biggest. We aren’t the smartest. I for one know when I walk through the woods close to night and hear the noises and hear the coyotes yipping, I for one remember a time when humans knew there was things out there that can kill us, without a second thought. The predators at the zoo that have spent their whole lives in cages? You ever wonder why they attack handlers or people that manage to get in the enclosure like true dumb asses? They are animals, they are killing machines, it is what they do. Same goes for the people that get these predators as babies and raise them, then everyone acts so shocked when the Grizzly cub that is now a full grown male Grizzly, eats their ass. The animal is not a pet, it is a deadly predator and it will attack you eventually. When you enter the oceans and rivers, and you get attacked by a shark, barracuda, alligator, crocodile, snake or just some weird little fish, guess what? They have every right on this Earth to kill you. You are a trespasser in their home. Get over it.

If you want a pet that will never attack you, buy a goldfish. Dogs and cats were once wild predators, dedicated killers like any wolf or tiger. They can attack you just like their cousins can. Get a goldfish, or treat an animal with respect. It is not the animals fault either. (Unless you own a Grizzly Bear dumb ass.) Looking into your dogs eyes, guess what. Bad idea. Smacking your dog around cause it is “funny”, grabbing and pulling their ears cause you want to play, that is all aggressive behavior that will one day start a fight and get your ass tore up. Do not even get me started on ear cropping, docking and making animals fight. How would you feel if I fucked your ears all up, cut off an ass cheek, and threw you in a little cage/pit and told you fight to the death or I would kill you myself, then refuse to get you medical treatment for your injuries? That’s what I thought ass clown.

I’m going to keep my government ranting to a minimum. This government of America, it is flawed and it is failed. If it is supposed to be a democracy, it has definitely failed. As a republic, it is flawed. I’m not going to laud Anarcho-Communism as the truth and the way or anything. How difficult is it to be a good man? To represent the interests of the common man, the common people, not the person that gives you the most money. That is what is happening in the American Senate, much as it happened in the Roman Senate. And if history repeats itself, the American Empire will fall. (Note: American Empire is what we are. We have clearly defined boundaries, states, territories and all that. Get over it.) When it falls, the world will be in chaos, American companies are heavily invested in by other countries, even though people are now getting out of that and investing in foreign companies. But, what strikes me as funny. What are you people going to do when the American economy collapses, and the countries that we owe money or are major exporters to collapse as well? It is a Domino effect people. Don’t put your faith in money, it’s a fickle mistress. If you think the government is working fine and America will persevere as the greatest country of the world, I wish I could be as blind as you. Here is my Anarcho-Communism moment. All for all. If you help your brother rise, your brother cannot fall. If you help your sister gain knowledge, she can help another to rise to that level and not fall. Many say that this ruins ambition. The few that are truly content can stay that way. But their will always be someone who wants to be a better master of his trade, his skill, or just wants to try and learn something different, even if it is just a hobby.

How will I end this? Some of us will not make it to see the dark events I have talked about. They could be happening now, and come to a cataclysmic end tomorrow. I may not survive long enough to see this, I may live my entire life fighting with people to keep my food and resources for me and my loved ones, and trying to build a community that works in a wasteland of what once was. I will never know. You will never know. The web of the Norns is twisted, and only they and Odin really know it. But remember, Cattle Die. Kindred Die. One day you will die. But your name and Glory? That lives on.

the Agnostic Front House Show.

Ok, so in one night I got to see, Mother of Mercy, Damaged Goods, Written Off, Product of Waste, Another Mistake and AGNOSTIC FRONT. All in a living room that probably shouldn't have 20 people in it on a good day, that had more like 80 people in it. It was hot, it was sweaty, it was violence, it was unity, it was beer, it was straight edge it was the Hardcore Brotherhood every scene should have. Kids were jumping off the fireplace mantle to crowd surf, running up my back (literally), to jump off my shoulders to crowd surf, kids were bleeding, broken, sweaty, happy. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had the joy and the pleasure to witness in my life. I didn't meet many new people, I didn't make many connections. I talked to a few really cool people, hopefully I'll meet them at shows again. But, I still have the connection that we all stood in that house on Chestnut Street and screamed "Oi!" for Gotta Go.

Agnostic Front was wonderful as they should be. The Pits were amazing, Crucified and Gotta Go were electric played live, Roger told us that we were an awesome crowd, and Stigma said that we reminded him of what hardcore was supposed to be and that the show was just like the shows they played in '82. Quite awesome. Just to hear those words made me proud to be there ya know? And everyone involved in the Louisville scene should be extremely proud of themselves for the beautiful thing they created. Anyone want to help me create a Bullitt County scene again? We Can do this.

Product of Waste. Their is so much to say about these guys. Their extreme energy, the straight in your face thrash/punk songs the played, the lead singer going 18 kinds of crazy with us, the Circle Pits he called for that we did, and had an amazing amount of fun in. They put a crazy amount of heart into their music. Buy their CD. See them live. Get a shirt. Lift the P.O.W. banner and scream "You'll Never Take Me Alive!"

The other bands? Wow man. So much heart. So much passion. So much talent, such good songs. The only thing I could ever complain about with the local bands is they didn't last long enough. But I'm thankful for the sets, cause they were awesome and I will be back for more shows by them if I can make it.

Sitting here.

Brain dead Zombie like monosyllabic answers to everything. I've been putting in huge amounts of overtime at work, but where we just started this warehouse up it not only hasn't been added, but they didn't add half my hours this week. And who's the dumb ass who's going to put in more OT this weekend? You guessed it. I love how everyone keeps saying, "Working extra will pay off." Oh really? Cause it isn't. I bitch to much, I really do. At least I have a job. So, hopefully soon, some hobbies of mine will include leatherworking and blacksmithing. My bud Patrick does leatherworking and I'm thinking of asking him to teach me, and the local Asatru kindred is building a forge and I want to learn how to forge things. I'm actually pretty done, except, I love October, Apple Cider, Halloween, Hoodies and Bonfires. Welcome to my world.

Straight from the mouths of Work...

Yea that's right. I'm one of those jackasses you hate that gets paid, but who's job is so boring I play on the computer. My job? A guard. Yea. In a guard house. I open gates that's it. Pays well though, and I need the money. The mediocrity of this job
Fuck. I had great plans for posting something, but I forgot. so later.

Now that I'll finally start Using this...

Ok, so I decided to become a blogger. I don't have much to talk about at all. So, I think I'll re-introduce myself.

Name: Corey. Big Corey, Corey Jotunn, Grahamcracker.

Description? Uhhhh. Tall. Pretty eyes apparently. Very obese. Very dark hair, that I'm letting grow out because I haven't really had length to my hair in 5 years. I has a beard, not very long or thick, but I like it. I have body ink, my ears? They were stretched. I took the plugs out, the ears have closed up, I just wasn't feeling it anymore. The same with a lot of my other piercings. I looked in the mirror and did not like who I saw.

Religion? Norse/Germanic Paganism/Asatru.

Family? Crazy hectic loving raging hating awesome amazingness.

Love Life? .....

Friend ship? New friends, not many of the old, but my new friends are amazing, and the amount of new friends I keep getting that are awesome is truly amazing.

The Work Blog...Duhn Duhn Duhn....

Cause I don't know how to delete.

Ok so my first post

I'm not going to lie to you. I'm a very strange person. This blog will most likely consist of me either; a.)Bitching about life, b.)Talking about things I probably only think is interesting and c.)Shooting the shit. This will also be full of spelling,grammar,and political correctness errors.

So a little about myself I guess? Since none of you know me I guess. My name is Corey Graham, I'm a mostly white redneck looking kid from Kentucky (hence the cracker part), I enjoy body modifications. I have stretched lobes, I'm currently at 4g, I plan on stopping at 3/4ths. I only have 6 tattoos at the moment, I'm probably going to stop at around 100+. I used to have an eyebrow,labret and septum piercings but I removed them for work. They're probably going to make a comeback. Just cause I'm a rebel ya know?

I figured I'd cover music as I'll bitch and wax poetic about music. Alot. Now Playing? Ligeia I've been Drinking. I listen to alot of music. Everything pretty much. I don't like polka though. It's kind of weird to me. My favorite artists include but are not limited to; Joshua Fit For Battle, Hot Cross, Five Finger Death Punch, Ligeia, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Peter Tosh, Elephant Man, Verse, Winds of Plague, Despised Icon, Stitchmouth, Sutter Kain, Busta Rhymes, The RZA, Wu Tang Clan, Haystak, Ill Bill, Descention, Sons of the Bluegrass, and H2O. There is alot more bands though.

A couple more facts about me I guess? I broke Straight Edge two years ago, almost three. I still keep alot of contact with my friends. Except the Militant ones that don't want anything to do with me anymore. Fuck em as far as I'm concerned. A beer every other Friday or a couple shots of Whiskey every once in a while is good. I also enjoy a fine cigar. Let's see here.....Family. Yea family. My parents divorced when I was four, I have one older sister, two younger sisters and a younger brother. I love my family. Most of the time I love them to death. Speaking of my family my father just asked me if the Statue of Liberty was in New York....

I'm in a long distance relationship with a beautiful woman named Emeline Donelly-Trejo. She's pretty awesome. The distance between Kentucky and Washington (the state) is very not good though. Juss sayin.
