Id be more inclined to credit texas with the last bit if it hadn't used it's monopoly on textbooks to engage in revisionism at an institutional level. It's not that you guys need "better eduction" the problem is that you'd cornered that market.
Still...mad props for good music. The fishing is fucking great, obviously. The only use for a horse is glue and soupmeat. Win some lose some.
listen to that shit. Alejandro Rose-Garcia....is a texan treasure.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Culture is about finding a small happiness in a world gone mad.

Culture is big. My aspiration is small.

Humanist culture is old and opposed by the old.

That's why I live in a petri dish.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I live in the north of England just outside of Manchester.
There's a big Pakistani and Bengali community.
Obviously football (soccer) is a big deal here just like it is all over England.
The main band to come out of the vague area I live is probably Oasis. Also Joy Division, Inspiral Carpets and all that other old Indie music I'm not massively into but will listen to and enjoy sometimes.
I've personally always loved a lot of American alternative type culture, especially when I was younger, the skateboarding culture, graffiti, American rock music. A lot of people here emulate that sort of stuff, obviously we have rock night clubs, graffiti artists and skateboarding in Manchester.
I've been going indoor climbing a lot recently and going inside the climbing place is like going into a whole different culture than the surrounding area. Everyone calling each other "Dude" and using Americanised terms. Climbing culture seems quite close to hippy culture to me. It's full of posh nice people which is good, the surrounding area is notorious for chavs (not very nice people)
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
