Fortitude. March. 1999. Orlando,Fl. A year and a half into this venture dubbed "The 'Tude", we danced with a weird momentum that was handled improperly. Heads grew, attitudes formed, and our groove was troubled. Blame what I will, we still had fun. A bleach blonde, bead wearing, X'd up blow hard, making mid 20's choices in a 30's world. Songs that rhymed and made "typical" sense, yet sometimes alienated myself. Blame who I will, we still had fun. On this particular day, I went through the physical motions, sang the same "anthems", and left with the older, more seasoned punk rock queen. A 10 year older, complete with programmed youngsters. A guy in his mid 20's, wanting to be older, and not having the social maturity to be part of anything adult. I blame only myself, but I still had fun. #fortitude #oldethicshardcore #neversaynever
