entry: 

Well, it was on Cinco De Mayo. 5/5/6. It was the second semester of twelfth grade. I've got one more week of high school and after that, I don't know how to start off these journals. lol. Kevin picked me up. I got into his car with all his friends. I have no comment on them. We went downtown. I said hi to Tommy and Mark. WAIT A SECOND?! TOMMY WASN'T WITH ROBBY?! OMG?! Anyways, I found Mike Wunderlich. I told him about everything that's happened since I had last seen him. I told him about what happened two weeks ago. I'm shocked he didn't hear about it. Everyone has. I went to Luke Pennel's wedding last week and everyone there was asking me about it. So, basically, if you're reading and you're confused, I'm surprised you don't know what I'm talking about. Just ask one of your friends and I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you, since it just seems to be the hot new subject. So, I hung out with him for the whole show. Before anyone hit the stage, I went to into the bathroom. So, I'm standing there pissing, and one of the guys from eMBRaCe the ENd walks in. He yells "Jessie!" and then I hear this monotonous voice from the stall go "I'm taking a poop." So, the other guy's like "Hurry up we're on in like seven minutes." Then Jessie's like "When are we playing?" and the other guy is like "When I finish taking a poop." It was really awkward listening to rock stars talk about pooping.  eMBRaCe the ENd was sick as fuck. I love that schizophrenic dual vocal they got goin on. ion | DISSONANCE was even better. All I could hear is death around me. They're so good. Being at one of their shows is like chilling inside of a heart attack. Now, sworn enemy was kind of scary. I mean, it's not like it was any different from seeing any other tough guy band live, but still. Of  course, everyone dancing in the pit were the biggest, scarriest, baldest, buffest, guys ever seen in my life. They were going crazy too. Like, one guy would pick up another and run into the crowd surrounding the pit while the guy being held up would be kicking in every direction. Yah, it was just a little dangerous. Just a little unsafe. The one guy in the wheelchair was there dancing in the pit again. Every time he'd get knocked over, the big guys would help him back in the wheel chair. That made me happy. I'm very glad that CALIBAN put on a great show. They were my main reason for coming. When they first got on me and Mike were like "God damn, they're European." Haha, I love those German fuckers. They kicked major ass. There was some really annoying drunken New Yorker guy yelling and screaming at them though. So, then I won't home. So, I gotta go to prom with Dana in a couple of hours. I'll see some of you guys there. ;)
