You know, I sometimes miss the mosh pit. In the old days people used to have those pseudo epileptic seizures. These day's its all about looking cool.

Am I getting old? Get off my lawn!

Hahah yeah I been asking the same thing. Am I getting old? I been to a lot of shows in the last 15 years and I think its starting to wear on me a little bit.

I was at a metal show last night. Master and Goreaphobia. It was a real good time. This is some real fast pace heavy death thrash metal. This show was all about the metalhead freaks like myself who almost have this like luring thing which draws us to shows. Sunday nights here in Yewtah and metal makes it even more weird.

I am quite fond of this music and I been really mellow at shows lately...mainly since I stopped drinking and partying like crazy which makes sense. In a social situation its great to feel alive and not totally annihilated on the booze. Regardless, I really felt the need to headbang during Master. Its just really high energy heavy thrash metal. It gives birth to bumping into a few people (literally) and everyone has a good time cause we all know we are there for the same thing and that is to just have a good time.

That was about as close to the pit as it got, but it was cool. Perhaps its just not the same and when it comes to most pits it all depends on the bands. A lot of bands (Straight Edge, Hardcore that get mixed on lineups with Death Metal bands for Example) you'll have people showing up just to hurt people in the mosh pit which just aint good at all. Then with some bands (Heavy Metal, speed metal, thrash, death metal Etc). people are just moshing a bit and have a good time. They all help each other out and its a good time.

I really liked that Butterfly thing. It made my day actually.
