HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG! SAY WHAT? HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG! - Jungle Bros composed 07/23/97
Id like to explain something that happened to me recently. I turned
19. I started spinning. I am playing with trackers and dreaming of
getting my own Junos and Rolands. I no longer do drugs habitually.
I am in love. I am doing many things, going many places, and trying
to leave my mark in the cold, stone world that we live in.
Unfortunatly, I havent had the time to draw much lately, and this
is my first ascii in close to three months. Now, Ill arrogantly state
that my style still rocks ass and all that, but I can feel my
skills slipping away, and my heart turning to other places. I wish
this wasnt so. I was always the MOST up and at-em scener... the
ascii kid who would call LD to pump packs to other boards, the one
who volunteered to courier other peoples works and packs, the
guy whod give you his honest opinion about what was going on - not
because I was involved with my ego, but because I had a genuine
concern for the scene, and yall my friends in the scene.
But as we get older, we all drop out and lose contact with those
things we used to love... and I will not hesitate to say I love
the computer underground scene, and all you people in it. We are
the youth, the rebel-bad-asses, the ones with the insight and
beliefs that makes us just a BIT cooler than the rest of the
worlds population.
Ive seen many people come in go in my time. I started drawing
ascii in late 94 for the group Fidelis, formed my own group with
my beloved C4nn called Hallucination, joined Ash, Basic, Soap,
Remorse, Noname, couriered many many warez, did it all. But dammit,
its not as fun any more.
This isnt a going away speech or anything, I HOPE to God that I
have the time and energy to hang out and continue to draw, and keep
as much of a presence in the scene as I can... but sometimes, when
you get older, everything goes to shit, and you have to piece
together your REAL life, rather than hold on too tightly to a virtual
one.
In conclusion my favorite way to end an essay, I just thought Id
share the point of view that goes through the head of someone whos
been very dedicated to the scene, has formed a strong comraderie
with people he will most likely never meet, and is sad to see it
beginning to slip away. Itd be much easier for me to take the stance
of many people who leave and go Fuck yall, yall are losers. I have
a real life now. But the thing is, people who do that are fucking
herbs, and get NO respect from me or anyone I consider friends.
Anyway, no goodbyes... just much respect and love to the computer
underground, who has helped me dream and achieve in real life as well
as in the modeming undahground community.
