entry: 

Ok, so it was on 5/13/5. It was in the second semester of eleventh grade. Danny Ryan picked me & Rose up & took us to Monty's house. Nick Willie was there. They all smoked out in Monty's room. So, me being straight edge and all, I just stayed in the living room & talked to some guy that was related to Monty or something & watched that VH1's 200 least metal moments or whatever the fuck it's called. I finally went in to Monty's room so I could listen to THE CHARIOT. Me and Monty got into that little conversation about me being the only straight edge kid on the planet who doesn't feel the need to tell the whole fucking world about it. Rose was making fun if me. Whenever Monty would put in another CD she was like "He can't listen to music he's straight edge." At some point she asked me if I drink at all and I said "No, Sorry, I don't know how to live." Well, I thought it was a funny thing to say, and Rose making fun of me was funny too. We finally left. We got there and losa was playing & they really fuckin suck. So, we stayed outside & I listen to Danny, Monty, Marcus, Cory, Mark, & all them talk about their fights & stuff. When Fight PARIS got on, we all went in. They really sucked also. There wasn't really a lot of people there that night, which is a good thing because it wasn't all baking hot as hell and suffocating and all like it was at the Evergreen Terrace show. TWELVE TRIBES kicked ass. Don't laugh at me, but I seriously didn't know the singer was black. After that, was the main reason I went to the show, and whaddaya know, it turned out to be the best part. deadtofall tore that motehr fucking shit up. The dance floor/pit went crazy. The singer was all screaming in my face and I just smiled like I always do when that happens. It's always good to see headbanging at a hard core show. Sometime during their set, in the middle of dancing, Danny & Mark a few other guys jumped this bald guy that was wearing a leather skirt because the guy spit on Mark's wife & called her a whore & tried to rape his x-girlfriend. I know that I've never fought, and no matter what, if I did fight, I would probably loose, but if someone ever did that to Dana, I would be all over that fight. EMBRACE TODAY was fucking bad ass. There was a part when the singer said "I'm so sick and tired of kids wearing black wanting to die. If you hate the world so much just jump in front of a car or something," and everyone started clapping. It was funny. HASTE THE DAY was so fucking beautiful. Oh, their music is great. There was a part where that one guy that always goof around on floor/pit thing was all pretending to fight with some guy again. The same guy that was pretending to fight with Danny Ryan at the Evergreen Terrace show. Then, the singer was all like "Is everything cool? Are we just playin around?" and they were all like "Yah, man, we straight." & then some guy said in an Italian voice "I like ya music. It's mellow" and the singer was lke "Thank you" and the guy was like "I haven't heard da mellow stuff in a while." After they finished, we left, duh. On the ride home, Rose made fun of me again because she thought I was monking her when I said that I love Disney movies. I'm not gonna tell you what she said, but it was pretty bad.
