Doomsday Mayan Prophecies

     Today is December 21, 2012, and we should all be dead by now but we're not. We are not a doomsday Mayan prophecy gone bad, but we as Americans believed that the World would end. In fact, it never ended, it will mark a new beginning in our chapters, in our lives on December 22, 2012. On Friday, many punk rock shows tonight to mark the Doomsday message. How ironic for us to join in the scene for a bid farewell to our planet Earth with some punk rock. Maybe just in time for Christmas for the holidays with Santa Claus moshing in the pit with his reindeer drinking lonestars in the back of the White Rabbit. VIA bus services in San Anto has a new stretchy bus called the Primo.
     In preparation for Doomsday, I completed a bug out bag, washed my sleeping bag, prepared for the End of Days, got enough food and water for 72 hours. Maybe I should have been preparing for some killer punk rock shows tonight. Maybe I need more ammo is what was really on my mind. The year 2012 has been great to me, mostly because of whom we are in San Anto, bunch of skinheads and punk rockers trying to rediscover their past by attending as many shows as we can to bring back old stories, uncover those hidden mysteries, and chant along with old friends with some lonestars.
     When myself and Nugget started to Making A Scene in San Anto earlier this year, we didn't think we would take as many pictures as we did. Along the way we met Ryan, and the rest was History. Some of us have been active in documenting the Scene in San Anto but our main purpose is to find old pictures, old flyers, old stories from back in the day. We hope to collaborate with anybody in sharing information. We would have never thought that there would be Wars in the Scene today. We couldn't believe that there were still skinhead groups who are fighting for their territorial turf, whether it be Southside or Northside. That reminds me of the early 1990s of how gangs dominated most of San Antonio and how American Skinheads, Anti-Racist Action, the Front, Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice, all tried to Unite to promote the Scene, and to get rid of all the groups that caused division. ARA was supposed to be that organization but a War consumed the minds of many back then between S.H.A.R.P.s and Section 8 Bootboys.
     While I was in the military, I did see lots of drama in the scene but I just wanted to attend shows and go my happy way. The same goes for me today, I just want to document the scene and bring everybody together. This cannot happen if too many groups are still fighting today, thus making it impossible to take pictures without looking behind your back. If people are still fighting today and there will be a bloodshed, I best better get out of the way cause if we don't, we will run straight into a turf war amongst Skinheads and other Crews.
     With the year of 2012 almost to an end, lets hope that 2013 is a better year for all while Making A Scene in San Anto!
