Why are you the way you are?
Okay...well...I am going to be a post-whore today.-and post really random off topic things..-.cause I am bored and my dad just sent me some old pictures of him.
I'm sure he would love the fact that I am posting them on a cannabis forum..
I just wanted to give you a little piece of where I come from...hahahhahah.
In the first one my dad is on the far right where the steering wheel is...
2nd one...bottom right...
..and bottom right in the last one too..
These are his old band photos...thought they might entertain you..cause they sure as hell entertained me!!
(is it wrong to say that my dad was kinda hot 35 years ago?)
Why are you the way you are?
Okay now I feel stupid.:sadcrying :sadcrying :o :o
Why are you the way you are?

It's interesting to me...cause my dad and I aren't really close...but it's like now that I'm an adult and we can get fucked up together we are getting closer....cause it's easier to talk to someone when you're getting wasted.
He was a terrible father....but only cause he was so damn cool. Not that that is any constellation(I'm too baked to spell that word)...cause he was a fucking asshole of a dad..but he has done lots of interesting things..and hes quite the interesting guy.
I find myself a lot more interested now in his shit than when I was younger...too bad hes 60 years old now and married and has another kid and stuff..I kinda missed out or somethin'.

My dad was always a bit of a bastard - he's the reason im so violent - he taught me to fight by hitting me in the face untill i hit him back. And most of my family were in gangs when i was a kid so im used to being violent. I mean, i loved the guy, he finaced my herb habbit as a kid - but we was never close close - i mean, i know some people that wouldnt even think of hitting their dad - but i was used to it.
Now im an adult we're closer too - we smoke together, have a few beers and laugh at the funny memories.
I definatly find that as i got older i've got closer to him - at least we dont argue too much anymore - and hardly ever fight - i cant do it to him now coz i'd put him in hospital [he's nearing 60 too]

I have never lived with my dad nor were my parents ever married. He was never around..and when I would go visit him...I would go hang out at the bars or parties while he played music and got fucked up. Everyone loved him but me....and he always had many different women over and stuff...I always liked them more than him.
Last time I went to visit him he took me and all my friends out and we closed down the bars. All his old bar buddies were there too and he freakin' did coke with one of them and offered it to us...(we declined)
...Then he hung out with us until like 5am telling us crazy stories.
Ever since then we have been closer...it's weird how that can happen?
That is interesting about your family and the gangs though..can't imagine what that would have been like to grow up with. I just had alcoholics.

To be honest it wasnt too bad. I know it sounds crazy, but i had a pretty good childhood, minus the arguments and fighting.
In reality i really did have a good life - i take it granted.

Despite all my crap, I was still happy too..it's only now that I realize things were fucked up anyway!:jointsmile: :jointsmile:
Funny thing about it is..I am SOOOOO much like my dad it's nuts...yet I spent hardly any time with him ever...
It makes me mad sometimes..but I also like it.
:) Hes cool..whatever.

This is quite funny really - im alot like my dad too. I even sound like him - and when i dont bother shaving [almost every day] i look like him too - a younger version.
I never thought it was strange to fight with my parents - or that most of my family toasted special ocasions by tapping their guns together [like you would a glass - but with damn pistols]
Now i look back it was pretty fucked, and damn dangerous too to be honest, i mean i could have shot myself when i was a little guy, but meh, i enjoyed life and im not too fucked up now so i supose everyone got what they wanted. I'm very content with life right now, im high all the time- what could be better!

my pops is cool, but he was never in a band. we have a very strange relationship where we can say one word and still say a thousand things at once and we both know whats going on. he's sort of a hypocrite, but I believe all parents are.

hahaha thats pretty cool, the second pic is fucking funny:thumbsup:

My real dad that I only seen once in my life when I was 16...I went and lived with him in Cincinnati, at the time I was running away and just getting in a ton of trouble, plus my I just couldn't stay with my Mom and step dad another day. I lived with him for a month before he kicked me out in the snow, with no shoes and called the cops on me and said I had nervous problems. The real reason he kicked me out is he caught me squirting whip cream in my mouth. Ya know, turn the can upside down...and push that nozzle to the side and (cant think of sound effect) :hippy:
He was a dipshit anyway, been married 6 times and cleaned out the ladies everytime. He was a wife beater, counterfeter and has spent no less than 10 years in state prison for a variety of different charges.:thumbsup: way to go, dad...that is something to be proud of.
So, the reason I went to live with my real dad, was because my step dad, abused the fuck out of me. Physically and mentally. I hated that guy pretty much the whole time growing up. I would get whipped or punched for the stupidest shit. I couldnt open the refrigerator, turn on the tv, never cross in front of him,,had ridiculous rules at the dinner table and if you broke one, he would send you away from the table with no food. I had a lot of hungry nights...I used to have christmas's where I didnt get anything. Plus, he would work me like a frigging dog since a real young age. I had to go with him on both weekend days from the age of 7-15 yo and painting. We would get up a 4 am to start. Then even during the weekdays, everyday after school I would have to clean all of his and the crews paint brushes. Sometime like friggin 10-15 brushes...and if you have ever really cleaned paint brushes, you know it is not the easist chore and of course I still had household dutie, weeding, mowing, washing the cars, dishes...I never got an allowance.
He was also an alcoholic, so that didnt make things any better. He has stopped since then.
In total, I ran away 3 times. I stayed in a crap load of halfway houses, plantations and even juvinile detention. Probably been in over a hundred fist fights.I went through a ton of conseling...which is all shit. *punch the pillow, you'll feel better" blahhh
So, I joined the Army when I was 17, went to basic training in Fort benning, Georgia 10 days after my 17th birthday.

Good to see that you can establish some kind of repour with your Dad Tal,,,That is rare... My father was a prick,he died an agonizing death and I think it was all payback... I still cried like a baby when he suffered and died,,,he was my Dad and I guess no matter how bad there is a bond...
The pics are cool and you should not think your silly for showing them... There is that bond that I speak of and you obviously think your Dad was neat in those pics...

You took it out of context... A Dad that abandoned a child and then having a relationship...
