entry:

This was the best show I have been to in years, but anyways...Alright, so it was in the first semester of twelfth grade. It was on 12/16/2005. It was a Friday, and I didn't really care for going to school because it was just going to all be bullshit cause we had exams next week. So, I woke up at 6:15 like I normally do for school. I walked to school. Dana got there and I talked to her. That was the only reason I went to school. So, when the bell rang, I hugged and kissed her goodbye and walked across the street and into Chris Golding's house without knocking or ringing the door bell or anything. Luckily the dogs didn't bark and wake anyone up. Chris was still asleep but that crazy Mrs. Golding sure was up. She didn't care that I was there, but Mr. Golding would have been pissed so she brought me into the guest room. I watched some SPIDER-MAN and some other show, I don't remember. Then I masturbated. Then I watched some I Dream of Genie, Bewitched, The Munsters, & KING OF THE HILL. Mrs. Golding would periodically come into the room and give me food. Eventually she woke up Chris. Zach only went to school for his first two classes. So, after third hour he came over in his truck. So, we got in and went to his house. The kid's fucking rich and lives on Singer Island in a really nice $6,000,000 house. Then Zach's mom got home. Then Zach's older brother, Cody got home. I don't either of them very well, but I know Cody better cause he used to give me rides home in Freshman year. I'm surprised he remembered seeing me at Jägermaester 2004, cause I thought only I remember simple things like that. So, then we took their mom's car. The show was in Miami. This is now officially the farthest south I have been for a show. We listened to my Mindless Self Indulgence and PANTERA cds on the way down. We got there and got lost. The show was originally going to be held at Bayfront Park Amphitheater but it sold out and they had to move it to a bigger place which ended up being right down the street from it in Bicentennial Park. It's 30 fuckin acres. When we finally found Bicentennial Park, they told us we couldn't park there. So, we drove around, asked some guy where we could park, and he told us about some parking lot where we could par for free. So we parked there. Then we ate at Checker's and it was damn good. We walked to the show. Every person there was Spanish I swear to God. We got in and ONE RED WALL played. They're supposed to be local heroes, yet I've never heard of them. They sucked ass. The coolest part is that, it was just a big stage in a park with no seats and 30 acres of standing people in front of it. You look around and you see all the towering Miamian buildings and you can see the American Airlines Arena and a monorail goes right behind the stage. It was neat. BOBAFLEX got. They were fucking retarded. Every member of the band sings and sounds the same and they all have their individual dance moves. So, yah. Then me and Chris found Alena and Tes. So, the four of us got close up for bloodsimple.. They were bad ass. The pits started in shit. After their set were just standing there in this crowded mass of people and for some reason, douche bags decide ot start throwing plastice bottles everywhere. I get hit in the head with one and I promptly start bleeding. So, for the next couple hours, every once and a while Alena and Tes would wipe the blood off with their sleeves or something. 10 years got on and they kicked royal ass as well. Darkness fell sometime during their set. Since DROWNING POOL was up next and I don't like them, and since we were all suffocating from the crowdedness and heat, we decided to leave the mass of people and go walk around. So, that's what we did. DROWNING POOL was better than I expected. Ryan Combs sounds really country. The only part I liked is when they covered COWBOYS FROM HELL by PANTERA. So, we wanted to be up close for the last three bands cause they're all really good. So, we get up close for SEVENDUST. Chris and Tes are in front of me and Alena. I tried to give Alena an Eskimo kiss but instead she shoved her tongue in my mouth and I immediately though of Dana and I freaked out and I kind of pushed her off of me. Well, I didn't really push, I just pulled my mouth out really quickly. I know that probably makes me look like an ass hole, but that's what happened. SEVENDUST was really really awesome but we were kind of miserable cause we constantly getting shoved around by the shifting body of people and my hair (as usual) was getting caught between people's bodies. So eventually Alena put my hair up in a bun or what not, so then it wasn't as bad after that. I saw John Cuilla on the side of the stage watching. Even though we all love MUDVAYNE, there's no way in hell we could take another hour of that crowd. So we watched them from far back but we could still see everything just fine. We were all dancing and singing and shit during them. They were way way better than at Ozzfest this year. Kud came out in a clown outfit which was really bad ass. Whenever they got to World So Cold, me and Alena agreed that that's or favorite MUDVAYNE song, and so we made out. Yah, I know, I must confuse the hell out of you guys. So, we got up close for KoRn, and Alena put my hair back up again, and this time it was tighter. The second they got on, moshpits broke loose everywhere and people started crowd surfing and stuff was flying everywhere it was bad ass. It felt really weird standing that close to my favorite band. Especially since they've been my favorite band since I was twelve and I almost feel like I know them. I'm sure you all know that Head left the band so it was just Jonathin, Munkey, Fieldy, & David on stage. Their set was as follows:

1. HERE TO STAY

2. Twist

3. GoT tHe LiFe

4. Liar

5. Coming Undone

6. Falling away from me

7. Twisted Transistor

8. ONE

9. shoots and latters

10. FrEaK oN a LeAsH

11. Another Brick in the Wall

*. blind

*. Y'ALL WANNA SINGLE

Throughout the whole set, the whole park was singing the words to every song, I swear. The only time I've really heard Jonathin Davis say much to the crowd at a concert I've been to occurred this night when he talked us right before they played Y'ALL WANNA SINGLE. He was like "As you can see, we don't have Head with us on stage tonight," and everyone was like "BOO!" and he was like "Now you listen closely, we love that mother fucker and it takes a lot of balls to do what that mother fucker did and we are happy to see that he is happy right now." He said some other nice things like when we people cheered "Shut the fuck up, I'm not done talking."  It was truly bad ass, their whole performance. So, it finally starts raining when the show's over. So, we walk back to the parking garage and guess what? It's locked! So, their car is stuck there till the next day (which is today as I'm writing this, and I still don't have my backpack and cds back). So Chris had to call his mom to come pick us up. So we just hung out at Checker's the only place that could keep us safe from bumbs for the two hours it would take Mrs. Golding to get there. In case you didn't know, there's bumbs everywhere in Miami.
