The Tale of the Wandering Knight

Post Reply New Topic

For many years I have wandered to every corner I could reach to find the promised land. Could this land be the one I have dreamed of in my nights of solitude? Only time and my experience here will tell. I shall tell you of who I am. I am Joseph. My name is derived from the biblical character who had the coat of many colors, was betrayed by his brothers and became king of Eygpt. In Hebrew my name means "he will add" and so I have made it my mission to add something to this world before I am to die. I am of 17 years and I hail from the state of Louisiana. I love writing, literature, fantasy, horror, and heavy metal (without which I would have died long ago by way of suicide were not my music there to save me). I speak in this old and archaic tone and narrative as it is one of my eccentric attributes, I will expect the "trolls" to come and laugh at me because of this. Anyways, if you wish to speak more to me, message me or state your business here. I am most sympathetic to those of the dark subcultures (punks, goths, metalheads, rivetheads, steampunks, even the emos and the scene persons) so long as they are true and do not hide behind the facade of my people like cowards and liars. If you are true, then speak to me, if you are false and a traitor, then begone from my sight!

Signed, the Wandering Knight

What's a rivethead? People who drill rivets into their heads?

They are persons akin to the cybergoth culture. It is very complicated in explaining all the minute differences.

Welcome

I'm something of a punk or metalhead, although largely because I'm more open minded than most about the range of music I choose. I don't eusocially identify with any such group though, despite getting along with most just fine. Tons of my friends are ravers. Hell, I also like lots of jam bands and random hip hop. I'm a hacker/script kiddie by trade, but I too try to see myself in such a bygone context. I too am reasonably sure being an audiophile saved me from the disastrous path you mentioned. I've had a lot of epiphanies listening to System of a Down and John Lennon alike. I was on a Buckethead kick yesterday... I could speak in Shakespearean tones for the rest of my life if any of my friends let me!
