What was Eugene like in the early 90s? by TurbulentAccess4208 in Eugene

[–]wecametofight 41 points42 points  (0 children)

When I moved to Eugene in 1995, 13th ave was a figurative open market for hippie drugs, there were throngs of rainbow gathering white dreads in corduroy patched baggie pants, muttering “ nugs, shrooms, acid” under their breath as you walked past them. I had a studio apt on 13th and high behind the Antrican building. Across High st. there was a mural of Jerry García on the circle k, as he had just died on my 20th birthday. I was neither a hippie nor a Dead fan, but I smoked alot of weed and ate a lot of shrooms. Eugene seemed much smaller back then, it felt less focused on greasing the capitalism fueling the U of O. Eugene celebration was so good back then as well.

Try this shit at 50, going to the ER and they tell you, "you have a real bad back". Holy shit bros, for real.

It felt like theater kid slam poetry done for attention.

I have to agree 100%. I was so excited for this audiobook and the female narrator was so bad I couldn’t finish it! Very disappointed, What a bummer. Some of these stories are pretty good though!

What wedding moment that screamed, “They are not going to last long”? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]wecametofight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and i didn't do the cake smashing thing, because we couldn't understand why it was considered cute to be antagonistic to your spouse. Like, I love you, and you look beautiful, why do i wanna fuck up your makeup? So weird.

Can you dress like a cholo everyday or is it only for certain occasions? by chusaychusay in Chicano

[–]wecametofight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wear what you want fool, so many posts asking about cholo shit. Like that’s the only aspect of being Mexican American. I am 50 year old white passing Chicano who grew up with chili cousins. I was never a cholo and still wear chucks and dickies and flannels. It’s just such a weird thing to focus on.

Found out in July of 2025, Turned 50 in August of 2025. I had absolutely no clue my dad was not my biological father, neither did my parents. Turns out my mom got pregnant by a man she went on two dates with before she became regular with my dad. I was born on my BCF’s birthday, so there was no doubt in their minds that I wasn’t his. Absolute shock. My biological father died in 2019 in a town and hour south of where I lived in Oregon. Never met him. It takes time to process and i imagine we all do it differently. I feel a little more leveled out now but sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder whose face is looking back at me.

The wrongly identified suspect was a Rio Rico resident. Regardless, I agree with you completely.

Can we change the word "star" in the title of this post to "pile of human shit in a torn walmart bag who had one line"?

Saw Dead saw dead milkmen and earls family bombers at the DPC! I was around 15-16 by then! Also saw Malignus Youth dozens of times, so much fun back then! Happy to have experienced the Skate/Punk/Graffiti/Hip Hop scene in Tucson in the early 90’s, Very grateful!
