The show was <i>amazing!!!</i>

It's sad to see xDisciplex go, but it was a great run and they're still some great guys! I'm just going to post my show review that I put on the Surprise Attack message board.

<lj-cut text="The Review/Reminiscing">
Us ("AS") – As you could tell I was having a good time. I thought we did great, I couldn't hear myself. I'm hoping we have more to give you all in the future.

BOTM – Good times. Good tunes.

Bloody Sunday – I actually liked them quite a bit. I'd like to see them again when I'm not saving up energy.

The Killer – Eh. I don't even remember if I liked them or not… I guess I wasn't too impressed.

S.I.P. – I like them a lot. At one point I thought Converge was on stage, but that is a good thing in my book.

Ringworm – Carrie and I were chilling in Stage Right, I just didn't care.

xDx AD – Well, like a few other people here have said they were the band that got me into hardcore… Joe gave my step-brother a CD that I stole. I eventually gave him $6. They were my first show – April '96. It was a definite honor to play their last show in Erie. The FULL set rocked, I got a ton of mic and the first of the set as well. Everything about the set was awesome, I knew more of the words than I thought I remembered (I never took the time to sit and memorize the newer songs). The dance was good – I did a triple spin kick and pulled it off perfectly, w00t. I could go on forever… great set, sad to see them 'go', they are all great guys (or at least 8 of the 9). When they were done I was told I looked like a kid that just left a candy store.

Hyzers – The whole show. Our set, xDx's set, BOTM's set… it was just good. Jake being there (I remember singing the lyrics to Baregrounds walking down Egypt Hollow Rd in Russell.) The good size crowd. Carrie being there to see it. Gabe dancing. Dave Luke dancing. Me bringing the mash. Having AS pins.

Lowers – Seeing xDx be done. Almost breaking my hand. My "pimple"

Oh, and Gabe/Emily I'm sorry if I was rude I didn't intend to be, I very much appreciate you being willing to hold Carrie's and my stuff.

Oh, and CorryShayne, sorry about clocking you in the head.
</lj-cut>

Oh, and I did the calculations, and as of May 16, 2004 I will have been a Christian more than 1/2 my life. I'm glad to say that I will be with Carrie that day.

3 posts in one night…

anyhow, i hit a deer today. i was coming back from church in Edinboro and just as i was coming over the crest of a hill i saw a deer bound out over the guard rail. i hit my brakes as hard as i could but it was just too close. i slid about 30 feet and hit it pretty hard. i'm pretty sure that my hood ornament got it in the underside and broke off in it. i pulled over to the side of the road and had to watch it flop around in pain. i cried… something about watching another being in pain, animal or not, just kills me. it just looked at me and tried to move, but both of it's right legs were broken.

someone stopped and helped out, called the game commission. andy and jenn kerr stopped too. my car and i are okay… i'm doing better than the car though. front end of the body is all crumpled and broken, nothing happened to the engine though… the grill pretty much disintegrated.

i just can't get the image of the deer laying there broken and bleeding just looking at me… yeah i cried harder than i have in a long long time.

<font size=7">I'm engaged!!</font> Yeah, I asked Carrie last night and she said yes! Here's the story: Yesterday was Valentines' day and I figured it'd be the perfect time to ask. So, I start driving to go down to Grove City at about 11:45. I called her and told her I was going to be later [...]
