First Post!

So I got a blogger not to be pretentious but because Vanessa has one and she is rad, so I thought if I got a blogger I could be rad too.

quick background on me:
I was born in Peru and came to the United States when I was 5 due to the political turmoil in Peru at the time. My family moved in with my aunt and my cousins in the abyss that is Long Island.
Although I am a half hour away from New York City, I feel trapped and stifled in my hometown. But then again, who doesn't?
I became political concious when I was 9 and my aunt told me to send Christmas cards to political prisoners and my couisn came home form college with Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire in his cd player.
Jigsaw Youth the zine by Kathleen Hanna introduced me to Riot Grrrl. Riot Grrrl and DIY punk introduced me to feminism and anarchism.
Punks introduced me to animal rights and veganism.
Experience taught me about racism.
Girls showed me what true love really is.
Chuck Pahalniuk's novels changed the way I look at the world.

And now I'm here. Trying to get a good start at the game of adulthood while keepin' it real and never growing up.
