Me: In pagan religions and systems, a spirit animal or totem is meant to be a representation of the traits and skills that you are supposed to learn or have. Online, saying something or someone is your spirit animal is a statement that said person or thing is a representation of you or what you want to be.

And welcome to this world, have as much fun as you would like while helping others have as much fun as you’re having. Be kind to those you love and be kind to those you don’t but for gods sake you gotta be kind, and respectful because we’re all one soul. BE THE BEST FUCKING HUMAN YOU CAN BE!
I sleep because I am sad. I drink I am sad. Today was hard, I felt so alone. Goodnight.
“Good Morning sir, just calling to remind you…
that your trial date is tomorrow.”
Whoa. WTF. Never received anything about it at all. Great. At least it’s the last occupy trial for me. The last one ended with me being found “Guilty” of a “camping violation”. Though it sounds cool, possibly rugged, and conjours images of roughing it against the grid and sticking it to the man while in town for supplies. It really just means that the Phoenix Police Department was following political orders from the city managers office to forcefully remove us from the property of Cesar Chavez Plaza in downtown Phoenix for protesting.
The last trial was for the same charge, however, I feel that it may actually be possible to articulate my way out of this one. Sure it sounds flowery, but not a single person arrested that time (Dec. 8th) was asleep, or laying down… nothing. In fact the differences between the circumstances surrounding these 2 cases is significant…
The first time: (Nov. 17) myself and 6 others are arrested after a rally which attracted approximately 200+ people, we were laying down on blankets or sleeping bags, some of us had pillows. There were 2 canopies tied together which we were under. And we didn’t hear the dispersal order, so we were arrested for ‘camping’ in the middle of a big crowd of people taking pictures and watching. None of the 7 was asleep, none of us was feigning sleep, we were all awake and communicating with everyone around us. Still found “Guilty”. Because we made our intention to sleep known, by laying down. It is illegal to lay down with a blanket in a Phoenix area park. Camping violation. IF the cops choose to enforce it. IF.
But the second time (Dec 8th) none of us was attempting sleep, in fact none of us was lying down at all. There were 6 of us detained, 2 were released for a lack of ‘prior violations’, the other 4 (me included) were arrested and released the next day.Out of us 4 me and another dude were in the media canopy actually on Livestream when we got arrested, the other 2 were in the food and medical canopy (1 each). We had just finished a pretty contentious GA, and I was making plans to bring some of my book overflow down to start our own library. Things were looking up, good, positive. Then seemingly out of nowhere we got raided. And it seems quite clear, at least to me, that this ‘raid’ was not in response to any threat or criminal activity we presented. But was intended simply to intimidate the protestors into leaving because we were adamant and had shown that we were determined to stay ‘legal’, and remain non-violent. We were in compliance with all laws or statutes presented to us. This was just bullshit.
you really should scrounge $5 in change to see this band… extra points if you pay with 500 pennies.
twistingfish: Black Banner Dovichenko are a seriously bad ass band. If you don’t know them, that’s ok, as long as you at least know some other local bad ass band.
But if you don’t know any other local bands, bad ass or not… You should be ashamed, really ashamed. How dare you show your face anywhere, does your life revolve around “Top 40”, fucking gross bro. I hope you feel bad about yourself now, so bad that you start experimenting in local music just to feel better. Studies show that:
“…supporting local bands turns you into less of a musical fucking moron.” — The Misanthropy Times
and also that:
“…people who care about local artists are really beautiful and should get laid very well and quite often.” — Official Sounding Science Zine
So get off your ass, check out a local show.

My love’s like an out of print record,
it’s hard to find…
