NAME: Michael
AGE:45
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Collecting Vinyl, Playing music, photography, DIY art & crafts
ANYTHING ELSE?:
I've officially changed over to DW from LJ, so I'm looking for people to add and get to know a bit.

About Me: I'm 45 and live a very DIY lifestyle. I grew up in the 80s post-punk scene and I've held those ideals and the subculture close to my heart for over 30 years. I enjoy listening to punk rock & post-punk (goth) on vinyl while drinking my morning coffee and I tend to avoid government-controlled media. I am a practicing Buddhist with very left politics. I have no desire to fight or argue with people from behind a screen, I only mention it because it's relevant to people getting along these days.

I have always used my journal as a place to vent or rant, often about work or just about life in general. I am not all about sunshine and butterflies, and sometimes my rants do focus of the bad shit instead of a balance of good and bad. With that said, I hope to be far more positive as I interact with others who bring about positivity. I am a single parent and often post about my kid.

First, very cool user name! Sounds like we have a similar spiritual outlook (I'm Zen Buddhist/Taoist leanings), also liberal, and 41. I looked at your about me and we have some interests in common. I can't say I know what the 80s post-punk scene is because I grew up on oldies (Thanks, Dad!) and didn't discover modern music until the early 90s. LOL

I grew up on Oldies as well, thanks to my parents.. But in my rebellious phase, I gravitated towards the music that I felt was opposite of everything they wanted me to be.
