Err... and so what?
Rancid has no real hobbies. Most of the time he's fighting with siblings, messing on photoshop, wasting time on Youtube, or procrastinating. He loves listening to rock in general and especially ska. Not very fond of techno, Rancid prefers songs with lyrics, insisting they have a meaning. He once fell asleep while trying to listen to Healing Vision. He would like to make a point that this doesn't mean he it bores him. He admits it is beautiful music. He also has a tendency to reflect on his life.
Name
Rancid attained his name from one of his favorite punk rock bands with the same name. It sorta stuck to him if you've seen his screen names.
Ethnicity
Rancid would like to make a point he feels is important to him: he is Salvadoran, from El Salvador, not Mexican XD.
Interests
- anime
- video games
- reading (books and manga)
- Ska
- Downloading
- Looking stuff on Youtube
- Looking stuff up on Wikipedia
- Astronomy (this isn't readily noticed unless you have spoken to him on the subject)
- Life
Music
Just what Rancid listens to cannot be speared down and categorized. The only thing that is for sure is that he does not listen to Rap or Hip hop. He has grown to despise this genre after hearing it all his life. No matter what he listens to, music is an essential part of his life.
Ska
Rancid's interest in music is dominated by Ska. He only discovered it a year or so ago and immediately fell in love with it. Listed are a few bands he listens to.
- Streetlight Manfesto (possibly favorite)
- Reel Big Fish
- The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
- The Specials
- Long Shot Hero
- Less than Jake
- Suicide Machines
- Sublime
There may be others but these are his primary choices.
Rock
In his middle school years Rancid was part of the punk scene. He listened to:
- Rancid
- NOFX
- The Casualties
- GBH
- Black Flag
- Misfits
- Dead Kennedys
- The Sex Pistols
- The Ramones
- Anti-Flag
- The Exploited
- The Adicts
A host of others blasted his speakers but this is all that was dominant. Rancid has hung his studded belts and leather jackets. He no longer spikes his hair or blurt out "Oi!". Never again will he, for he claims to have reached his private Enlightenment. He goes as far as calling this time his "Dark Ages".
Other music
Rancid has never actually shown that he does, in fact, listen to many other things. Among those are J-rock, Anime music (which may be anything from J-rock to J-pop, even Rap), different spanish genres including Cumbia and spanish ska, and Classic rock. He was recently introduced to J-rock, showing an interest in it. Still, he listens to easygoing music like reggae and alternative rock bands such as Weezer and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Cyber Life
Rancid hasn't discovered much of the internet. Nevertheless he finds his place here and there.
Neopets
Rancid's first online experience is possibly Neopets, after being told about the site by a close friend in 6th grade. He had dial-up for some time, using the internet sparingly.
Sega of America Forums
One day, 11-year-old Steve was surfin' the net with this new thing called "DSL" his parents just got. He decided to pay a visit to Sega.com (go figure) where he discovered the Sega of America forums. Here he forged many friendships under the name of "knux245" (later rancidknux245 after being banned XD), which still hold strong today after 4 years. Soon enough (2004 that is), the boards were closed down, only to be opened again months later. He never managed to return to the site, claiming the site was now full of newbs, only keeping the name "Knux" in many screen names. Knux is short for Knuckles, the same Knuckles the Echidna in the Sonic the hedgehog video game series.
Rainie's Web Talk
This very obscure forum was the meeting site of former Sega boards members after the closing of the message boards. It was started by a very well known member named Rainiestar who gave Rancid the title of second Admin of the site.
AIM, YIM, MSNM
Afterwards, Rancid refrained from forum life, talking only to those he knows. He is currently in a sort of recession from the internet, logging on the AC forums a few times a week.
AzureChaotic Forums
Not too long ago (Fall of '05) Rancid's good friend and fellow CAMS student Mike, better known as Break, asked him if he wanted to check out his forums. Since then, Rancid has made his home there, although absent most of the time.
Maple Story, Ragnarok Online
Recently, Rancid has been acive in two well-known MMORPGS. One is known as Maple Story, a very strenuous 2-D Side Scrolling RPG. The other is the superior Ragnarok, through the private TenshiRO server. He logs on occasionally, for summer is taking its toll on him.
