I feel so fuckin' old /b/
And I don't mean that in a pedantic or age way either. I feel tired and not even sure if I still have the will to go on (not talking suicide, guys. One trip to a state run mental hospital will make you think twice from then on, should you fuck up and not die).

I'm 32 but feel as if I am 80 on the inside. My life story is strange and uncommon and I might just be some sort of new age Marco Polo. I've done and seen stuff that most of us on here just talk or joke about. Will tell those that are interested, just pull up a chair and grab a drink. Ask me or ask for advice.

I'll tell you of how I have lived and worked in 6 different countries (not military)... How I got tattooed by a rock star...What it is like in jails of different countries...the types of discussion that one would have while drinking with a Yakuza...How to get a three some with a couple of South Korean girls...what it is like to work for a giant Japanese company for a huge paycheck...what it feels like to break someone's eye socket...how I came to be in the Ukraine before the shit hit the fan (my pic) etc.

I'd have to say Jamaica.
Don't know what it was, but it tasted real.
Went there on a trip when I was 15. I remember two things: that amazing orange juice and the goats on the run way of the airport.

Not fucking joking, actual goats.
The food is also really good and the weed is great. Don't walk into Kingston's dance halls.

>>716641933
Yes.
Happened before the war with Russia. I was on a business trip and got stuck with the craziest "minder" that's ever walked God's earth.

I was sent by Caterpillar Japan to help broker some deals for some engines they needed. First night there, after dinner, Alex (as he called himself) told me we would be having fun the Ukrainian way.

Two hours later, I'm holding his mother's cat, a bottle of what I can only guess was rocket fuel, and a rifle of dubious origin.

I shot a cow by accident.
Got the deal passed and got the fuck outta there

>>716642107
Just what was handed to me.
I hold German, Irish and US citizenship.
I prefer German firearms.
>>
>>716642421
OK.
32 years old. 3/4 German and 1/4 Irish.
Born in Germany and hold citizenship in Germany, Ireland and the US.

British educated via public (boarding) school.

Father is a failed architect, mother was a heroin addict and later prostitute. She died of an OD few years back. Parents divorced while I was young.

During the divorce trail, my father rightfully reported my mother's drug abuse. She fled Germany, taking young me and my younger brother. She took us to the US via France. She dumped us off at her father's house, thinking him there.

Grandfather was an Irish immigrant that became a first star general for the US Army. Was a chaplain and full of god stuff.

Thing was, he wasn't there. He was still in Germany doing his long tour. My brother and I wandered the streets of this little southern town, by ourselves, not knowing where we were or any English.

>>716643591
Fascinating story. So what happened to you and your brother happened to you in the early days?
>>
>>716644081
Well, didn't take long for the South Carolina police to see two boys in their pajamas, each with two little suitcase rollers.

This town is the type of one main road sort of set up where everyone knows every body and is fucking their cousin.

Cop pulls over and tries to ask us what we were doing. I spoke very little English and couldn't understand fuck all of a southern drawl accent.

When I spoke to him in German, fucking Deputy Barney looked at me as if lobsters were crawling out of my ears.

To be fair, I know that my mother tongue does sound like a type writer being force-fed tin foil and being kicked down a flight of stairs.

Well, words came to action and it took the cops three days to find someone that spoke German. Upon hearing my story they immediately placed us in a foster home, contacted the US Army at Fort Jackson to get ahold of my grandfather (I didn't know his real name at the time) and put out a warrent for my mother's arrest.

Back then, with no internet and such, things were a bit more slow. My brother and I would wind up spending two weeks in this Boy's farm as they called it.

I called it a living hell.

On my 7th night there, I saw an older kid rape a younger one. I also got my ass kicked daily by the other boys. I didn't understand a word they said and got my ass kicked so hard, my shit had foot prints in it.

Going to South Korea is cheaper than going from Osaka (Japan) to Tokyo.

I'd spend my three or four day vacations in Seoul.

I was about 25 at the time. I have always had a habit of blending into my surroundings and mingling with the culture of where I lived at the time.

So I dressed in a fashion like young eastern Asian men. Pic related, me at that time.

I recommend doing this if you plan to pick up the best ass in Asia.
In South Korea, Gangnam is the place to be.

I was just walking around and went into a bar. Because of my graces and manner (thank you, British boarding school) I didn't have much problem getting in and no one did the usual racist stuff that is in the air of Korea.

I sit, talk with the bar tender when I also happen to buy a glass of champagne for this fit young Korean girl.

She was shy at first and used her friend as back-up, I suppose. To break the tension, I also naught the friend a glass too.

My Korean wasn't so bad, and their English was passable. Joke after joke and compliment after compliment led them (and me) to drink more and they said they would show me around.

4 bars later, enough alcohol to fuel a submarine and we were at one of the apartments of one of the girls.

I confessed I found them both attractive and I felt so "ashamed" of such feelings and asked forgivness.

Bingo. Right cord and key.

We all start touching and kissing and there I was, in Seoul. 5AM. Naked and fucking two kinky girls.

Getting our of their apartment proved far more of a trail and adventure.

Quite alright. Takes me a moment to type it all out.

After my grandmother came over and got us out of the foster home,she took us to her house and cleaned us up. I was very lost, confused and trying my best at 8 to keep it together.

Three weeks later my grandfather flies over and tells me that my father has gone bankrupt over the court case and all. He then said my father couldn't care for us and that I was to be placed in my grandfather's care.

I didn't want that. I wanted to go home.

But, funny thing about adults, right? We never really listen to children.

Well, Grandfather thought , since he, himself was a proper Irishmen (born and raised in Galway) that I should have a proper education to learn English (and hopefully snag a future EU post pre-shengen zone time).

So he packed me off to jolly old by myself where I entered a particular boarding school for boys.

Very traditional.

Like Hogwarts, except no girls, magic, or fun.

On the plus side, I learned through this I had a knack for a couple of things.

Business, language and science.

I learned business by becoming a sort of dealer in my school.

My maternal grandfather was a first star general for starters (money and social position).
I was also a European and wasn't too dim. So the school took me on and enrolled me into an intensive English course first. I picked English up extremely quickly.

They did, unlike most of South Carolina, actually have staff that spoke German. So when they gave me a question for an essay I had to write for them in order to gain admittance... Well, let us just say it wasn't too difficult for them.

On the other hand, I don't get why they would ask 8 and 9 year olds to explain their ideas on such difficult hyperbolic questions.

Such as: what would one do if they were prime minister and what would one do to explain to the media why the police used lethal force on the citizenry in a violent riot.

Brilliant. Ask 8 and 9 year olds this kind of question.

--A toast to you, my fellow Atlantic crosser.
I wish I were of a silver spoon sort, but not now and wasn't for very much longer while I was in the boarding school.

I feel your pride and sorrow, old boy.

If it makes you feel any better-- I would later, in my teenage years, find myself homeless in Canada. I would be nearly penniless in Japan when I moved there at 24.

I would later quit being a Japanese highschool teacher and make a name for myself in Japanese business. Making 5 or 6 K a month. Flying all around...
And then go right back down to bottom when I finally moved back to Germany.

Indeed, it is.
I'd even further say that the private educational system of Britain churns out more sociopathic in-the-closet homosexuals this side of North Dakota.

Mostly because the boys, in the infinate wisdom of classical education, don't see a female at all for years if they board year-round.

It is one thing to accidently see your classmate's cock in the changing room. It is an entirely different thing to see another classmate in the showers shoving a finger up his ass and giggling with other boys taking a shower beside him.

Ah, a putty.
I asked because a Scottish close friend of mine and I bonded over that song in Japan.

He had an extremely remarkable tale of how he and his then girlfriend in the Summer of 2012 went all the way from London to Osaka Japan by basically hitch hiking all the way.

Not joking. They only flew one time. From London to Frankfurt in Germany.

They cut through Greece and Turkey, into Iran and through all the Stans that most of us forget because they are insignificant in the state of affairs.

We sat in a Japanese park with a Sony walkman playing the hilarious song. We were drinking the high end (meaning actual beer in Japan) beer called Yebisu gold. The cicada noise was deafening.

I recall, at that moment, a sensation of fear about the future. That I was doomed to not have a house or not do something everlasting.

He and I then talked about what was important in life. I said I thought that immortality is gained only by leaving something so profound that the world doesn't want to forget you.

Then he made a Hitler joke.

It was a great moment for an existential crisis.

Another interesting moment is when I found myself engaged to a Mongolian girl by accident.
Or when I met my future Japanese wife.
How I became the private teacher and aide to a Brazilian football(soccer player) player that was then signed to Vissel Kobe (Japanese J-League team).

Or my stay at the Wu-Dang mountain school to finish learning Baguazhang.

Or how I became an Oddfellow and then a Mason.

My drop-out of veterinary school, perhaps?

My younger brother becoming a heroin addict himself and sharing a needle with our mother (it would be her last needle. She OD'd that night).

Or how I came to find /b/ in my first year of college, back in 04' (because SA turned to shit).

Ok, very well.


Well, I had gotten kicked out of boarding school when I was about 14 and a half and so made a return back to the US. My grandfather had already retired from the military.

He had been diagnosed with that ultra-rare disease that almost every episode of HOUSE MD tried to use for the daily "what's wrong with the sick cunt in yonder room".

Shit wrecked my poor grandfather. This man was one of my idols. He had fought in the Korean war and twice in Vietnam. He was in the staff of Westmoreland, for fuck's sake. Although, he did say once that Westmoreland was about an able general as "a walrus' anus as a musical instrument "

In any case, he had high hopes for me to transfer to Eton and then in to Oxford.

But owing to my expulsion from school for hitting another student round the canister with a cricket bat, those plans were soured.

And then I went punk in highschool. Mostly because I was angry and didn't like the South. Also, because I wanted to get laid. And at that time, man was it a good time to turn actual punk.

I deceived myself thinking I had talent for art (cont.)

I was homeless in Canada.
I lived in Victoria, BC.
I was going to university there after I transfered from SCAD.

I drove across the US from Georgia all the way to the tip of Washington State (Port Angeles) doing what any btard would do...

I was chasing pussy.

Turned out that this pussy tricked me. Turns out it had been a fake ID. Turns out she was only 14 to my then 18. I later got engaged to her older, 17 year old girlfriend.

I stayed out of desperate love that we all have when young.

I stayed out of fear of having to go back to anywhere else. I stayed because Canadian Uni is rather fun. But because of strict Canada's laws can be, my funds were limited and I soon ran out of cash.

I lived in my car, until it got hit by an underaged driver and destroyed the Axel.

My slept outside near my gf/fiancé's home. Couldn't go in because her mother didn't like me (mostly out of grief for her 2nd husband that had dies of AIDS the year before--- really, everyone, not even joking).

I thought I could paint because I did it as a hobby and also because I painted Warhammer 40k minis.

Isn't it amazing how easily a young you could fool oneself so utterly that one's ego starts to eat itself?

Yeah, well that happened to me. At the same time, doing punk rock stuff in a band and chasing girls and annoying most of the people in school because I had excellent grades (they hates the Britishness of whatever I did and thought me pompous)--- I also spent a great deal of time on Something Awful.


Ahhhh, gentlemen... I wish you could imagine a time before /b/ where the content was fresh and pranks were the order of the day.

Then Rich Cant-I-Yank-Ya made us all start paying money to go in the forums.

I was enraged. But, whatever , I had university to go to. My German family encouraged me to go to US university and then German University for a better resume.

NOPE.jpg

Brilliance of the sun that I was, I thought art was my calling. I submitted my portfolio of paintings and photographs and even minis for 40k I had made from greenstuff.

They said I had a talent because of the minis and said my painting was about as good as dog shit in a ceral bowl. Ironically, I think that was an entry for a later art festival.

SCAD took me. My grandfather said I was "as queer as a football bat". He hadn't forgiven me for not taking the scholarship to the Citadel military college.

When I got to SCAD, the weirdest person at the dorms followed me around all god damned day-- mostly because I was the only " real" punk he had seen.
We became somewhat friends, because who am I to turn away a stalker?

He then starts to "prank" me as he put it by sliding paper-printed swastikas under my door.

He kept writing "for the lulz" on them. I, being German, knew what lulz means, but I was curious.

I worked under the table in Victoria for a high end restaurant/brewery. I basically would lug out the old beer or ale kegs and replace them.

I also recieved money from a college trust fund and various scholarships. As I said, despite my silky clothes at the time , I wasn't stupid and made grades good enough to where I never really worried or was stressed about school.

I graduated with honours and I suppose of my posh sort of speaking, most just (correctly) assumed my punk fashion was just a phase.

Thank you just for listening, old boy.
For me it hasn't been amazing, just sort of how life took me in its river.

There have been many times when I was tired or afraid. Stressed beyond reason or actually in danger of dying (twice so far).

I don't know of I would change anything.
I think that each of us lives with some sort of regret, no matter how small.

My ex fiancé comes to mind, sometimes. Not "I miss her and she was the one"--- because that is unhealthy.

Rather it would be, I would have liked to have not troubled her with me. I blame myself,most of the time for our split.
We were young and reckless. Trying to be mature in a world that was set against us. I nearly lost myself in those cracks of reality and a love/list that it took years to shake off.

But I am not sure about her. What bothers me most is that I hurt her in the same manner, but fragile thing she was, I am not sure if she will have ever gotten over it.

I just figure that one should just keep the stiff upper lip and ask life for another go.

Sorry, lad. Won't do that. There is a fine line between our comradeship on /b/ and my wife's tits.

I became an Oddfellow first. I tried to help revive the Oddfellows lodge in Japan after it stopped functioning in Japan in the 1800's. I had learned about the order by a chance meeting with a business associate from Denmark. I became fascinated by it all. I knew my Grandfather had been a mason and had to stop because he had gotten to sick to attend. But I never paid it much attention.

I made contact with the closest lodge for Oddfellows in the Philippines. I hadn't yet gone on a business trip to the Philippines but would not too long from then.

I made contact and recruited 18 other people to help form the resurrected lodge. I traveled to the Philippines on a business trip for my company and made time to be initiated into the order.

Afterwards, I went back home to Japan to prepare for the arrival of the reps from the US.
Shitty part was, none of the other 18 had any time to join now. There I was, the newly elected master of the lodge that didn't exist!

So, strangly, I am a member of the Philippines Oddfellowship by proxy.

During all this a Filipino member tapped me and told me I should get in contact with the Freemasons in Japan. Not the Japanese.lodge because they don't let non-Japanese join.

I then found the United grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of Scotland to be in residence. I asked to join and soon after, I found myself wearing a kilt and a mason's apron.

I'll be honest, both orders have changed my life and can honestly say that it is a group of fellows that are kind and all around smashing.

I haven't been in a lodge now for years due to me moving, but I carry it with me everywhere.

why get your ass kicked?

My grandfather gave me his Mason's cufflinks as a good luck charm when I sought to join.

He lived long enough to see me join.

He died after the giant Fukushima Earth quake hit Japan. I was in the area during the Earth quake and was wearing the cufflinks.

Wegner's killed him. He fought that illness for 15 years. Man had been shot, ran over by a motorcycle but in the end his own DNA killed him.

Still hard to accept.

Happened just by chance. Really any of us near our 30's and used to hang out at Something Awful just sort of migrated here.

what events as a child set you up for success later on in life? which ones have held you back?

This is probably one of the most real and heart wretching things I have ever read here on /b/
Like, actual love. Elegant and not sloppy.
OP you have my deepest respect.

A now defunct and closed school called Westington's outside of London.

Met him by chance as I was walking down the street in Osaka. I was already heavily tattooed (but not on any visible parts of my body during work hours in a suit) and it was my off time.

I was walking around in Jinbei (like Japanese easy-wear or pajamas) and smoking a cigar with some beer in my hand.

Yakuza are either very quiet or very loud depends on their rank. Loud is low and quiet is high.

This guy was loud. He commented as I walked by on my ink. I speak Japanese rather well and spoke back at him, commenting that I found Japanese tattoos to be the best in the world (not weeabo shit. This is how you complement and ingrain yourself to a culture).

Shows me that he is just starting a tattoo. I mention I want one too. We get friendly and I give him a beer. He said he never talked or liked a foreigner before. I gave him a cigar. I said that it would be a learning experience for both of us. Months later, I am getting tattooed by the tattoo artist in the traditional manner and in comes the low guy's boss (his oyabun).
I ask to stop and ask if I could serve the oyabun tea. He accepts and we all quietly share a cup of tea together.

It was odd, because my back was leaking tattoo ink and plasma and here I am, drinking tea with two actual gangsters.

My face when I couldn't finish my tattoo and am still working on it years later

Real shit right here

Cool. Never heard of your shitty punk band but hey that's punk. Don't have any answers for you but I will say I take solice in reading your story. You remind me of me, someone smart enough to bounce back from anything. I always looked at the boyshome I was at, jail, women, travelling, fights, etc just experiences that I was lucky to have in a weird way. I feel honores to have been arrested 9 times for stupid shit and still came out on top.

Things that set you up for success:
Risk taking.
A never-let-them-see-you-bleed attitude
And to remind yourself that failure and success are temporary.
They come in waves.

What is important, however, is that you don't just quit trying.

What can get you in for failure?
Trusting those in power at work.They are not your friend. They got to their position by being talented and also ruthless.

Their life revolves around that position.
You have to choose what you want.
A real life OR power.

Also, read. Read as much as you can and also have idols.
Historical figures to inspire you. Make them diverse so that your mind expands.

For example: I admire Julius Ceasar, Shaka Zulu, Voltaire, Spinoza and Neitsche.

I feel like I am just marking time... I'm in no hurry to end it, but I'm not really trying to extend it ether!

>>716662046
Holy shit, OP!
Haha haha haha
"It's called wit and it's spontaneous"

>>716664095
You're right on both counts:
My bands were shit and our adventures are what forge us to be shining blades among spoons.
>>
How was the Ukraine?
>>
>>716661682
Seconded.
OP can we have another photo of you?
>>
>>716661682
Thank you, I suppose?
>>716664261
I must admit I am tired and will probably go soon. Thank you for your time in anycase.

God awful. Eastern Europe is beyond Thunderdome. I didn't enjoy the general atmosphere.
Stagnant. I felt sorry for the youths.

Your best place for vacation?

If I had a dollar for every punk band that I've seen come and go. I always hope they find success in some way after the band. As I've gotten older I realized being punk is all in your head, not some fucking lame band shirt or $100 dogpile plaid pants. Wanna fight the system? become a lawyer or politician or involved In your local government. I don't think punk ever changed anything for me but god damn it was a good time.

I suppose so, yes.
My hair is cut shorter now, as my work won't allow it. Funny enough in Japan this wasn't a problem. But here in Germany? Eesssshhh.
>>
Post your contact info. Should we ever cross paths, a beer is due. Shit, this could be your reason for living.
>>
>>716665151
Depends on your preference.
I love cold weather and so therefore enjoy my homeland anf Scotland and Ireland.

For those of you that love hot weather and nature-- Malaysia. But if you like bright lights and big city--- Osaka or Seoul.

Mongolia is difficult to get a visa to and you very well might get sick being there. Food hygiene isn't so important there.
>>
>>716665046
Just popping in this thread to say I'm glad that you have shared this glimpse into your fascinating history.

Go get some rest, OP.
>>
>>716665180
OP here.
I strongly agree.
>>
>>716665556
I apologize but can not. Should any of you find yourselves in southern Germany or the big city of Heidelberg, you can find me weekly at the pub near the castle. Just say btard and a beer is on me.
>>716665871
Thank you and I shall. I'm exhausted.

Thank you everyone. It has been fun.

>>
>>716666137
Thanks OP. This genuinely was a great thread.
>>
>>716665556

Punk guy here

I understand, I tried googling your bands to dig up some info but god damn your band must have sucked and been short lived ;)

Cheers and good luck. If I ever end up in Germany again I'll show people your photo and ask of they've seen this man that goes by the name btard.
>>
>>716665701

>>
>>716667414
I think so too
Haven't seen some thing so raw on b/ like this for a long time. Like you can see in your mind this kind of guy from 4chan at a bar stool by himself. This kind of grizzled veteran of his own war. Fucking sweet man
