entry:

Alright, let me start this thing off the same boring way I always do. So, it was in the first semester of twelfth grade. It was on 9/23/5. Alright, little history first. I'm glad I got to go to this show because I missed the last time that Mindless Self Indulgence came through Ft. Lauderdale which was only five months ago, and I thought I'd never be able to catch them in the future, but fortunately I was wrong. So, once I found out that they were coming back, and once I found out that Joanna, my ex girlfriend, was going, I asked her if she could give me a ride. Funny thing is, I asked her on my space and I hadn't physically talked to her since we broke up which was like over a year ago, and she said yes. So, a week ago (from today which is the day after the show) my best friend, Sean, moved to Las Vegas to live with his on-line girlfriend. So I went with him to the air port, and the person who took us there was Beth. I found out that she is Joanna's cousin. So, after he left, I didn't wanna go home yet cause I was a little too sad, so Beth and I went to her house. I had only known her for a couple hours and we already got along really well. We found out that we went to middles school together. Me, her, and Sean are all Leos and we have discovered that Leos get along really well. So, within the last week, I find out that Jo doesn't get off work till 6:00 on the day of the show, and the show starts at 6:00, and I don't like getting to shows late. So, instead of going with Jo, I go with Jo's cousin. I'm very glad that went with her instead. So, on the day of the show, Beth picks me up. We go to pick up Beth's friend, Sky, who lives in Lake Worth. She wants us to come and talk to her mom and stuff. So we go in, and her mom seems to like me, and she thinks that she's met me before, but I'm not too sure about that. She did seem kind of familiar but I couldn't think of where I would have met her. So, when we get in the car I find out that I went to middle school with Sky also. Interesting. So we're on our way out of Lake Worth, and Sky wants to stop at a vegan ice cream shop. She's a vegan and I tell her about how my step brother is too. So we get some ice cream and it's really good. The guy that works there is like this little Mexican guy and asks Sky for her number and then we're in the car again and calls her. Then he text messages her and tells her that he really likes her. So then we're driving, and she says something about her friend Gill. So I'm like "Gill? You know Gill?" Then I find out that she's friends with all of my step brother's friends: Auggie, Crsytal, Melody, Gill, all of them. Apparently, her mom (who I forgot to mention is an English teacher) taught my step brother and Auggie. So, then we get along really well. I also find out that we're all Leos in the car again. By the way, my horoscope that day said "you will go to a social event and meet new people," and me, Beth, & Sky are all going to the MSI concert and we're probably going to meet new people. We're on our way out of Lake Worth again, and Sky wants to stop at TACO BELL. So, we do. We get the wrong stuff, and me and Sky have to go in and tell them what's up. I gave her a big old hug inside and it was a really good one. So the guy we were telling about our orders was some old guy and he was being kind of a dick. He should have just said what he was thinking "Damn Hippies. Boy go cut you're fucking hair, and girl if you're vegan you shouldn't come to TACO BELL in the first place, you dumb shit. Why don't you guys just go strap yourselves to a bulldozer and save the trees, man, or try and put a flower in my fucking rifle and see how effective your political activeness is then. It's liberals like you that ruin the country. RRRRRR I'M A DICK AND I WORK AT TACO FUCKING BELL. I'M THIS OLD AND I SHOULD BE WORKING SOMEWHERE ELSE." He was thinking it, you know he was. Yah, so then we headed down to Ft. Lauderdale. We listened to THE BEATLES most of the way. We parked at KFC. Retard o Bot had the chance to open ,and unfortunately, we missed them. We got there during SUICIDE CITY. They actually weren't that bad. They were kind of like a punk band, but not true punk. We met some fat girl named Sara who likes to pull on my hair. So, then Jo got there with her party: Jose, Joe Davis, & Jamie. I've met them all before except Jose, who Jo is hanging all over when she's supposed to be getting married to some dude in the navy. Jamie tells me that in the car Jo said that when we were dating I said that I wanted to loose my virginity to her. BULL SHIT! WHAT A CONCEITED SKANK! Anyways...... MSI was fucking awesome. They played the majority of all their songs. It was like a two-hour set. I don't remember all the songs they played, but I at least remember they played these songs (not in order): Bring the Pain, Diabolical, Tornado, Backmask, Bitches, Clarissa, Coaine and Toupees, Faggot, Golden I, Holy Shit, I Hate Jimmy Page, Kill the Rock, London Bridge, Planet of the Apes, Shut Me Up, 1989, Straight to Video, Tom Sawyer, & Stupid MF. Jimmy Urine was wearing a coat that says "FEEL MY MONKEY WRATH" on the back, and a black t-shirt, and a long black skirt, and pink fishnets up and down his arms and his leg while the other leg had it kind of ripped so he wrapped that part around his arms and so he had like this long pink material connecting from his wrist to his ankle. Lyn Z was wearing like female navy suit or something with a skirt....hot stuff. Kitty was wearing a tutu. Steve was wearing a jump suit of some form. I'm sorry but I can't remember the order of the songs they played and I can't remember exactly all th songs they played. At one point, Jimmy came out wwaring a dead wolf around his neck acting all fashionable. Then he started humping the crap out of it. One time he came sliding across the stage on one of those rolling speaker cabs. Instead of actually playing their cover of METHOD MAN's Bring the Pain, Jimmy brought out a huge 80's stereo on the same rolling cab and the stereo was playing just the vocals to bring the pain, with no music, and jimmy just held his microphone up to the stereo and the whole time, the whole venue was singing every word to the song. I was kind of hoping they'd actually play the song. They did do their cover of RUSH's Tom Sawyer though. By the way, we were on the balcony right above the stage. So, were looking down at the band and all the crazy fans. It was bad ass. I liked the energy of the crowd, though I didn't like the fact that they looked like they raided the Halloween dollar store and put on everything they could find. Towards the end of the set, Jimmy seriously climbed up the towering amps on the side of the stage, climbed on to the balcony, ran by us, (we could touch him) then he jumped into the V.I.P. booth and was like "Look everyone! I'm in V.I.P.!" So after the show was over, we went to 711, just like thee MSI song. Joe Davis decided to ride home with us. He's a Leo too. We listened EMINEM most of the way. We stopped in Boca Raton and chilled at a kava bar with their friends I met, Thrin and Efferon. Then Joe Davis decided to ride home with some other friends from there. It was a grand night. Maybe me and Sky will go visit Nable, Crystal, and Melodie in Ashville, NC one day.
