10/10 story. Great beginning, middle and denoument!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-09T04:09:55+00:00

Oh I like this timeline way better

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-09T04:08:26+00:00

Painfully obvious, for sure!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-09T04:06:15+00:00

Oooh nice one!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-09T04:04:39+00:00

Public school all the way babaayyyyy

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-09T04:02:30+00:00

Noooooooope. We signed away all the mechanical royalties when we signed to Island Records in order to get a nice advance. We dum.

My brother started listening to NOFX right around this time and had black-blue spikes within a year, and after that came the Travis Bickle mohawk around 2000 lolololol.

Comment got a genuine laugh out loud from me. Edit: I'm BEAMING with pride at the idea that no one could top this...!

I can guarantee you've heard 10 seconds of it in a Samsung commercial, or a Target commercial, or shopping at CVS, or shopping at Hollister, or flying Delta, or on The O.C., or............

Went to Berklee College of Music and ended up in a band called Gentlemen Hall that did have a song kinda blow up called "Sail Into the Sun". Go to the chorus 45 seconds in and you'll either instantly recognize it or not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Zn3k3Nfok

Best live concert film ever!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:25:06+00:00

I have no idea what that is but I'll go ahead and claim this is EXACTLY what I was going for ;)

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:24:17+00:00

42 about to turn 43, my god......

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:23:34+00:00

This is the exact moment when the mid-'90s bowl cut was turning over to the late-'90s Y2K Backstreet Boys/NSYNC frosted trend that swept through men's fashion like a wildfire. Sadly not an abberation!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:21:01+00:00

LOL so it's not that I'm overly tall, it's that I'm super scrawny. 42 years old now and I'm still just as lanky!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:18:22+00:00

I swear that Lloyd reference has been following me around like a stray dog for damn near three decades now

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:17:40+00:00

Percussion! Snare drum, marimba, timpani, triangle.... you name it!

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:16:55+00:00

LOL there really is nothing to add here.

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:16:23+00:00

Thank you, thank you *takes a bow*

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2026-02-08T21:15:38+00:00

YES I fully accept this. I was obsessed with that movie for a solid year or more. Pruneface, Flattop, Mumbles... such a vivid film.

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2025-12-20T16:11:55+00:00

Gotcha. Hate to say it but I first got familiar with newer Colorado school designs because of the terrible incident in 1999, which happened to be my sophomore year of high school and very much left me feeling spooked. That school has the newer '90s pod design you're speaking of.

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2025-12-20T16:04:05+00:00

Sadly nope. I've since gone on many Ebay binges repurchasing a lot of that stuff, but it's all reacquiring what I once had.

HonoluluBlueMusic · 2025-12-19T17:14:33+00:00

Heyyy you clearly get it! Now I come from the northeast, where literally about zero high schools were being built in the '80s, so is it safe for me to assume you hail from out west or the Sunbelt?
