Amusing quotes

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on September 21, 2001). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

…so I’m taking the occasional (er…did I spell that right?) chance to go poking around the web. Some of the other weblogs you can find out there are pretty fascinating. Like Time For Your Meds — if only my blog posts were this interesting.


OK, I know that Crayola had to change some crayon colors from when I was a kid. Indian Red, although they had some reason it wasn’t really about Indian people, had to go. Flesh, which really only matched Band-Aids, was a goner. But why would they add a color called Beaver?

Oh, wow…this is really worth snickering over. I think it’ll probably end up in my quotebook, too…in the humor section. I should really send it to my friend James, too. We’ve had a running joke for a few years — I’m too goth for his ass, and he’s to punk for my ass. I think this quotes from someone who’s way too punk rawk for either of our asses…. ;)

um ya well i am like rilly board right now cuz my stepmom is a stupid bitch and she grounded me. i hate her. she is rilly fat and ugly! she always grounds me cuz she’s jellus cuz she cant get a man- except for my dad but he is like RILLY old and RILLY ugly, so he like so doesnt count. anyways, my GAY brother tom was watchin vh1, which is like suppose to be like mtv only for old people or something, and there was this thing called 25 years of punk! i was like, hell ya, i’m a punk! so of course i had to watch it! and like there was NOTHING about punk! just a bunch of gay old school bands like nirvana and the sex pistols. oh ya but guess what? i found out that the lead singer is the sex pistols is totally hot! i was like omg who is that guy with the funny shirt and tom was like that’s johnny rotten and i was like well who the fuck is that his singing is gay. britist people are like sooo gay by the way. lol. im like sooo glad im not british. anyways, tom said that he was the lead singer of the GAY sex pistols and i was like oh well his music is gay but he is hot! so i watched the rest of that 25 years of punk show. they like didnt even have anything about real punk, like blink 182 and sum 41, but oh well, johnny rotten is like so totally hot! so like i am gunna go buy some sex pistols cds, even tho theyre really gay. i mean, sometimes you have to like make sacrifices and shit. like for example, sumtimes there is a gay crappy band, but the lead singer is rilly hot, so you have to go buy their cd anyways, you know? tom was getting all mad and shit just cuz of that. i swear he is soooo gay. i cant believe we’re related sumtimes. he was all talking about some shit like music is about music not what the musicians look like. whateva. thats gay. i mean i could NOT like a band with an ugly lead singer! i mean if the lead singer is ugly its like having some UGLY GUY sing to you! wtf! who would want to listen to an ugly guy sing? ewwwwww.

jennas a punk rawker


How interesting…apparently our fighting forces shouldn’t have to put up with gays during peacetime, but they’ll make great cannonfodder. Yes, I know I said that in a very deliberately provacative way…but then, I’m just paraphrasing what the article says. Grrr.


Oh, lord…one last look at jenna’s diary…then I’ll quit. I promise.

jennas a punk rawker


I think that’s it for today’s randomness, though. Unless I come up with something really über-cool later on…but work’s picking up now, so that’s not all that likely. I probably won’t be back here ’till Monday…so until then….

  1. If you dont know who the sex pistols are dont call yourself a punk.. you are not one you are a sorry excuse you most likely listen to avril lavigne and wear ties and say your cool and your not you arent a punk no one is anymore.. its gone away until someome finda a wayt o bring it back

  2. How funny…apparently, whoever you are, you entirely misunderstood why I found all of Jenna’s babbling amusing.

    For the record, I do know who the Sex Pistols are (and have for many, many years), I only heard about Avril Lavigne from a friend yesterday and have yet to hear any of her music, and I only wear ties (neck or bow) when I can’t find a way out of it.

    I’ve rarely (if ever) made any claims to how ‘cool‘ I am or am not. I’ve never claimed to be punk (though I’ve often, at times, been accused of being goth, something which amused me as much as being labeled punk would have). If punk is dead, it’s probably because of self-righteous twerps that leave messages like this, that rather than doing anything to further what little punk movement might still be around, just give the impression that anyone associating themself with the punk label is an annoying little git.

  3. I found that little bit on “jennas a punk rawker” hilarious..if it was for real thats really sad but funny!

  4. Wow.. I’m pretty shocked to hear that whoever that dumbass is thinks fucken blink 182 and sum 41 are real punk.. I have news for you sweetheart. THAT’S BULL SHIT! I’m so sick of you little poser kids. Incase you weren’t aware which by the looks of your “like totally” dialect, you probably aren’t.. The Ramones invented punk.. not Blink.. Sex Pistols are REAL punk.. blink and sum 41 are “GAY”

  5. Must refrain from killing self…my god whoever this Jenna person is needs some definite schooling on what real punk is…

  6. hey yeah i kno that sum 41 and blink 182 arent really punk but they still kick ass and who the hell are u to say that if u like them that makes u a poser well guess what THATS BULL SHIT..omg wow just cause i may like them that makes me a fuckin poser thats so stupid your that one thats the poser cause ur just really extremly stupied punk rock is about not caring what ppl think about u whether they like u or not its doin what u love and u arent a punk cause u are to stuck up caring about what other ppl like and what they shouldnt like and if they like something that u dont why the hell does it matter so much to u what others like jus let others do there own thing but i wont argue wit ya about tha ramones they kick ass bbye

  7. I know that this is old….but I had to add my 2 cents….

    Kill yourselves..do it,
    Please promise us all that you will never breed.

    I am tired of hearing about stupid poeple that can’t read and don’t understand the basis of things.

    Who the fuck cares about punk?!

    Move the fuck on and quit wasting my air!

  8. The Sex Pistols are the best!..Johnny Rotten does NOT have a gay voice!!
    Sex Pistols was the 1st fucking punk band!..Blink 182 and Sum41 are cool and all but they are NOT real punk..The’re not even punk at all!
    And you don’t buy cd’s because you think the lead singer is hot, that just doesnt make any sence at all!
    This piece of shit Jenna is so fucking fake! She has to be kidding!

  9. wow. if this girl isnt kidding she needs a reality check. I mean first of all, ok nevermind enough has been said. i think her post speaks for itself.

  10. WTF?!?!?!!?!!?!?! what the hell is this world coming to? Blink-182 ?! Sum 41 !? MTV !? oh yeah now thats some good punk….. WHAT ABOUT THE RAMONES OR THE CLASH? besides…. if it wasnt for the british we wouldn’t even have punk…. maybe you should know wtf your talkin about b4 you go calling yourself “a punk”! Jesus damn MTV is brainwashing the teens of america….

  11. Well, that was interesting. It’s said punk died in ’77. Which is true for the most part. Then we have garbage like Avril Lavigne and we can be assurred that ‘punk’ is truly dead. Ah, what Rotten and Vicious did was all in vain….

  12. wow…

    you know, i have nothing against the pistols, the clash, or the ramones, hell they’re damn good – but this comment list is starting to sound like a bunch of old, wrinkled has-beens whining about the ‘good old days.’ For example, replace ‘Rotten’ and ‘Vicious’ in post by eddie with ‘McCartney’ and ‘Lennon.’ (or hell, even John and Yoko…) Or ‘CCR’ and ‘Buffalo Springfield.’ Or any other influential artists of your choosing. Sound whiny to you now?

    Quit your bitching, you were a fool kid once too.

  13. I think that this is all a big joke. Noone would ever run off saying that John Lydon (Johnny rotten) and the Sex Pistols are gay, and go on about Sum and shit. People aren’t that ignorant, and from the sounds of it, the kid who owns this site would have kicked Jenna’s ass already. But not many people are that stupid to run off yelling how punk Sum is and how “gay” people like Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, DeeDee & Joey Ramone, Sid Vicioius, or G.G. Allin are. And besides, anyone who says gay that many times in a sentence, is probably some homophobic nazi anyway!

  14. For the most part, I’m quite content to let this page sit here and pick up the occasional comment. Most of these have ranged from amusing to ridiculous, but as yet I’ve only had one that I felt the need to delete.

    I did, however, want to jump in really quickly with two quick notes.

    First off, as I hit 30 in just over two months, I’m somewhat amused at being labeled a ‘kid’ — but I’ll take it as a compliment.

    Secondly, no, I don’t think I’d have “kicked Jenna’s ass.” Partly because I’ve also been leaning towards the opinion that “Jenna’s” site is in all likelihood a joke, but also because I’m just not much of one for kicking anyone’s ass, let alone for as silly and stupid a reason as this would be.

    In the end, whether or not it’s a joke, it made me laugh when I found it, and the subsequent “conversation” here has also provided amusement from time to time. Works for me. I now return all of you to vigorously defending how “punk” you, me, Jenna, or each other are or are not. Have fun!

  15. If you think that the Sex Pistols are gay then you are gay b/c they rock and if you don’t liek them then you are totally not punk at all! Jenna i am sorry to say but if you dont liek the Sex Pistols then you are not punk at all. so like yea!! WTF is up wit this web

  16. the Sex Pistols sux so bad why dont you come to reality that band is so old school WTH is up wit ya’ll!

  17. Hey Hey was up everyone! I am so bored right now and I found this web page so I decided to write on it. If any of ya’ll like Avril Lavigne your gay because she is a poser and if you think that she is punk then your gay too. Not to be mean or anything. But yeah she SUX big time. You shoudl try to listen to AFI and NoFx and Mest and crap like crap like that.
    AiGhT lAtErZzZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. um, blink 182 and sum 41, well, i guess there ok, but they kinda seem like wannabez. i love the sex pistols and NIRVANA. i love kurt cobain, and whoever thinks that they arent punk, need to understand that they practically invented punk! blink 182 and sum 41 are sooo gay, and uh, the bitch who was dissin her family and shit should get a fuckin life! and VH1 isnt just fer old ppl. and well, u just need a life. aight? when ur fat mamma givz u your weekly allowence, u should keep savin to buy a great one. and fer u, well it just might take a couple, well, about 10 weeks to get enough money. ;)

  19. um come on .. its obvious that jennas diary thing is a joke… fucken funny one at that… dont get all worked up about it

  20. Real punk is dead, but rebellion comes from the mind, not in what people think of you.

    punk started way before the 70’s. just not in the form of music…there were many writers + poets many many years back that people don’t know about.

    19th century – Gustave Courbet – realism painter. major punk. look it up :P.

    talking about MTV brainwashing, most of you people are brainwashed by you “real punk rockers” that rock out to the clash, ramones, television, the dolls, need i say more? (which all are great bands btw)

  21. HOly fucking hell!! Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, Suicidal Tendencies …are all fuckin awesome punk bands..and if u dont know who the fuck they’re and you call yourself punk..then what the fuck is wrong with you. Like omg johnny rotten is like so hot lets go buy the cd even if i do think hes gay..i’ll just look at the pictures inside and throw away the old crappy cd!..heh.what the hell is punk anyway. Punks..they try and rebel and rule against the system right? Then what the fuck are these people calling themselves punk if they wear a tie..yeah thats total rebellion! Oh and by the way real punk is not fucking dead! It will never die for me. blink 182..sum 41 whats with the #’s dudes! Jesus christ …I’m guessing this person doesnt like music at all…she only likes it to look at the fucking lead singers. No one fucking respects music anymore. I’m sure these artists would rather you listen to their music and fucking stop drooling over the singer…it doesnt make sence. heh I would like 2 see that bitch tell johnny rotten hes gay to his face. I think you should stick with MTV kid..stick with your sum41 and blink182 ..im sure they will love that u think the lead singers are hot but dont fuckin like the sex pistols cause johnny rotten is hot…i would rather you respect the music and him as an artist. anyways this chick seems kinda phony cause who the hell talks like that? like omg he was like ..like so hot but his voice was like so gay but he was …sooooo hot and stuff. if you think sum 41 and blink 182 are punks because the’re suposidly funny and they trash hotels or whatever..do u think thay came up with that? its their fucking managers and record labels that tell them 2 do that ..The’re all fucking fake! the sex pistols weere real!! anyways thats enough.

  22. Whoever actually wastes their time bitching about what is punk and what is not needs to get a freakin life

  23. PUNK IS A PIECE OF SHIT TREND THAT DIED IN THE 80’S. FUCK YOU’RE PUNK SCENE. WHY WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO BE SOMETHING YOU’RE OBVIOUSLY NOT AND START TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. (deleted by Michael), START A BAND.

  24. GOD DAMN THIS MESSAGE BOARD MAKES ME WANT TO SPEW ALL OVER YOU EMO KIDS ok first sum 41 and blink 182 are emo not punk and they will never match up to punks like jhonny rotten and sid because they are real punks. All of you damn people should be hung AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH no punk is not dead your dead it will never die we are like cockroaches when you people and you emo kids are all roting in the ground you will be dead but we wont we will survive we will be walking all over your graves eating your bones well i guess this Michael person is going to delete everything i just said but hey thats ok you have not seen the last of me.

  25. Jesus! I really hope that Jenna Fellow was joking…How dare she disgrace Johnny Rotten as well as the other sex pistols like that?!?! I mean, saying that they sound “Gay” is her opinion, but You dont fucking Buy a cd cause you like the lead singer…if anything, you d/l their picture or something….If she just blows her money like that she must be one rich Fucker. Ugh…rich kids becoming punks- i find that Absolutly REVOLTING. God damn all these people…they copy people and go ‘yea im so punk’ when the whole THING is about being yourself! Real Punk will never die as long as even just 1 person continues to undermine their pompous authority, reject their moral standards and above all else, raise Fucking hell in social society. You can never crush a real punk’s dignity- youll die trying.

  26. …i guess this Michael person is going to delete everything i just said but hey thats ok you have not seen the last of me.

    Actually, no, I’m not going to delete your post. I’m fairly open to what people post on my site for the most part, as long as it’s not spam or overly nasty/vulgar/racist personal attacks (which will be deleted if I feel it necessary). I might laugh at it (as I’ve been laughing at a good number of the rest of the responses on this page), but that’s about as far as I’ll go.

    Mostly, I’m just amused and somewhat amazed that this two-year old post is still picking up comments — and that so many of the comments that are left are so depressingly badly written and expressed.

    Jenna’s ramblings — which may be real and may be a spoof — amused me at the time, and truth to tell, they still do. But the continuing stream of barely-literate defenses and definitions of “punk” (or “emo”, or anything else that’s been mentioned) have proven to be far more entertaining than what Jenna posted.

  27. lmao who r u ppl u should all be ashmaed u lead such pateic lives wow if i where u id be buyin a gat an goin nite nite… an sex pistols do suck haha for fuckin sure…

  28. wow this stupid, ok, really punk is seriously dead, like everyone that runs around wearing band shirts every single day. now thats how punk died, but who honestly knows what a poser is? like people can dress the way they want, or live the way they want…
    but they need to stop trying so hard.

  29. the ramones are punk. the violent femmes are punk. the sex pistols are punk. to me blink and sum 41 do not need to exist. just close your eyes and go to your happy place where stupid little posers like good charlotte and avril do not exist to ruin the “good” name of punk with thier anti-suicide songs and ties.

  30. Wow. I never realized that punk rock had a uniform. I was under the impression that punk was a state of mind and an attitude. I actually believed it was about nonconformity and rebelling against authority. I was way off. I now know that there is a dress code a list of bands you HAVE to like and also a list of commandments. Here’s a few-

    Thou shalt not wear ties.

    Thou shalt not like poser bands.

    Honour thy Sid Vicious.

    Remember the Ramones and keep them holy.

    Thou shalt have no other gods above Johnny Rotten.

    Thou shalt not covet a bands lead singer if you believe that the aforementioned singer’s band is indeed gay.

    Thou shalt not commit adulthood. (Ok, I stole that one from the Descendents.)

    That’s it for now. If you have any more to add, feel free. But please, don’t post if you’re an illiterate moron.

  31. u ppl r fucking crazy i wish i could meet the bitch id kick her fuckin ass no better yet id stick my boot up it well fuck her and avril and sum41 anyways sex pistols isnt crap punk isnt crap u see u ppl r talking about bands that ended a long time ago because theyre great and actually made a difference. but if u think 20 years from now ppl r going to be talking about avril and blink ur wrong because their trash . punk is about anarchy going against the government omg y would u wear a flag that is so fuckin dumb if anything burn the damn flag and dont talk about the british okay and just so u know these r real punk bands
    the clash.
    the romones
    black flag
    ,sex pistols and i dont mind u liking all those crap bands i meen its really about how u think i meen i actually like goodcharlotte not 4 their music but how they think.their whole supporting peta thing with the liberation cd rocks but dont call urselves punk cuz u ppl r the reason y ppl say punk is dead . damn what has punk come to be u ppl and ur i should were a flag shirt then again atleast when some1 asks u if ur a punk and ur wearing the shirt they know ur just a squatter that doesnt know anything damn though i really feel bad 4 the girls brother if i were him id be in juvi 4 killing her

    and how dare u talk about kirt cobain he’s like god
    and sid and jhonny rotten r fucking amazing

  32. ALL U PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT U ARE TALKING ABOUT IF ONLY YOU WOULD SEE THAT TALKING ABOUT HOW PUNK YOU OR THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU IS SO A TREND AND REALLY THAT ISN’T WHAT PUNK IS, IS IT ? SO I SUGGEST EVERYONE GET OVER IT .
    AND AS FOR THAT JENNA CHICK, MAN YOU GOT MAJOR ISSUES IF U DON’T KNOW WHO THE SEX PISTOLS ARE SHAME ON YOU

  33. all of you guys suck just stop wrting stuff on this you dont know what the hell you are rambling about,
    god just shut up all of you!

  34. I have to say, I agree with Tom. Most of you are all fucking idiots. Punk is a state of mind not a style. I would usually state that this “Jenna” character is a fucking idiot but I fear that her nonsense was simply put there to make all of you people shit your pants and I do not wish to feel like a fool. All of you get so wrapped up in the image you forget what punk rock is. Instead of argueing over what is punk and what isn’t why don’t the punk rockers of the world unite and rebel together.
    ps- punk rock is not dead its just fucked up rite now. Fuck authority. Peace

  35. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL YOU FUCKING CUNTS?!(Mostly Jenna…)PUNK IS NOT DEAD! PUNK WILL LIVE ON AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLR FOR IT TO LIVE ON IN. I WANNA FUCKING KILL THE NEXT FUCKING TWAT I HEAR CALL SID VICIOUS OR JOHNNY ROTTEN GAY! REAL PUNK DOES NOT INVOLVE STARTING YOUR OWN FUCKING CLOTHING LINE! (GOOD CHARLOTTE, SIMPLE PLAN, BLINK-182) POSERS! THEYRE ALL FUCKING POSERS!!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! REAL PUNK IS: THE RAMONES, THE CLASH, THE SEX PISTOLS, THE STOOGES, NOT SHIT LIKE GOOD CHARLOTTE AND AVRIL LAVIGNE! THOSE FUCKERS NEED TO STOP TRYING SO HARD! ALL THEIR SONGS SOUND THE SAME, ALL OF THEM ARE MULTI-MILLOINAIRES WHO JUST THINK THEY HAVE TO BITCH ABOUT LIFE JUST TO GET GOOD PR! FUCK! I WOULD PAY TO HEAR ONE FUCKING POSITIVE SONG ON MTV! ITS ALL DEPRESSONG I-HATE-MY-LIFE BULLSHIT! THE RAMONES DIDNT BITCH SO ALL YOU LITTLE WANNABES SHOULDNT EITHER, MUSIC ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING PEOPLE WANT TO RUN AWAY OR HATE THEIR PARENTS, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT!

    PUNK RULES!

  36. hey you guys.
    i don’t mean to sound rude or anything, but why don’t you all just shut up? just shut up and let people like who they want to like. punk is doing what you want to do, and not letting anyone tell you what to do or how to think. just because the music isn’t punk, that doesn’t mean their attitudes aren’t punk. if they are still listening to the music they love, then i say GO THEM. they shouldn’t let anyone tell them what to listen to. as long as they actually LIKE the music they’re listening to and aren’t just listening because it’s what’s cool right now, then that’s great. stop critisizing everyone just because they aren’t like you. i’ll admit, the music industry has certainly gone downhill since rockers like kurt cobain, joey ramone, and bon scott died (though AC/DC did get brian johnson who has done a wonderful job of taking the lyrics into his own hands). and another thing. i love nirvana. they’ve done wonders for the [very small] world of alternative rock. but they aren’t punk. they came around atleast 20 years after the punk revolution started. but punk is not about liberty-spiked hair, black spikey bracelets, black fingernails, black clothes, and shit like that. it’s about the attitude, like i said. when the music industry started bringing around groups like the backstreet boys and *nsync, the ramones kept playing the kind of music that they loved, and that’s what punk is. it’s doing what you want and not letting anyone else tell you different. in my opinion, MTV is a waste of time and money, but i’m not going to tell anyone else to stop watching it just because i don’t like it. this is a mostly free world, and they can do whatever they want. just please stop calling good charlotte, avril lavigne, sum 41, and blink 182 punk. that’s all im asking. because it’s people like them who turned anarchy into a brand. those groups of “modern punk rockers” wear outfits that cost about atleast $800 each. oh yes, very anti-establishment. i mean, come on. they have their own clothing lines. that is not punk. that’s total pop. please don’t disgrace the world of punk by calling them punk.

  37. yeah the whole diary of jennas a rawker or what ever was hilarious, how the fuck can you be a punk rocker and not know about the sex pistols or nirvana , if she doesnt know about the ramones then she is really lost about what punk is and someone needs to help her it sounds like her brother is more punk hten she is and someone needs to tell her not to buy the sex pistols cd because that would be a discrace

  38. Punk huh. Punk is not fighting on a message board over the real definition.

    Punk lives, but not in little babies who have to prove themselves by naming off the ramones and the sex pistols 2 million times over.

  39. i’m not sure whether to cry or kill myself….i’m sorry, but you are SERIOUSLY misguided as to what punk is, but it’s ok, you can be helped. go buy a sex pistols cd or the ramones or the clash, or something by all of them and then you will know what punk is, and if you totally hate it then STOP CLAIMING TO BE PUNK!!!
