Well yesterday I decided to put an offer on a 2 bed unit in a beachside subburb. The need to get away from the crippling rent spiral has led me to think buying finally. I am a working man and would usually always be a renter like my parents but times are changing and skinhead or not, rent is dead money, lining some rich guys pocket and not your own.
So for the same price as rent I can buy a small flat of my own. It is hard to find a deposit when you are a worker with half your wage going on rent and the other half on skinhead gear, but I have made the sacrafice and put up with my old skin gear for a while and now have a small deposit, enough to get this flat.
I don't earn much, in UK terms about 300 pounds a week but in ten years I will own my flat and maybe get some new gear again. I know my Doc's will last that long, and my bleachers can survive with care but might have to buy some new braces, sox and polos during that time, but that's ok. So, this skinhead is now a property owner. Now to find a skinhead BF to match the decor. Any takers? SHARP forever
Welcome to my blog. I am a gay skinhead and a SHARP. I am also an author of skinhead books and my favorite author is Richard Allen, and no I don't style my writings after his books. My characters are as real as I can make them in my mind and all my books try to show my feelings against racial, sexual and religious hate. Being a skinhead is not just being a lout although that does help in a fight, but upholding a creed and brotherhood established by working class youth in the late 60's.
