that lit the torch that blazed this place down beyond recognitition. valentines day was amazing, best ever seein as how im a whore and got to spend it with all nine of my lovers. the never mind each other as long as they're on a stage ;) show was amazingly good. kinda ironic how corey brought something up bout first timers at a sk show and how it was they're baptizism, we brought a good friend of mine and it was his first show. absolutely loved it of course. i was extremely surprised to see that they actually had joey's drum riser with them. last i heard anything bout it it was too big and too expensive to move. glad my friend got to witness it in person. only downfall i didnt like was the fact that they didnt have any pyros. now dont get me wrong, i was absolutely fascinated with those blinking led's, but i was hoping for my friend to see a lil of the fire action. indoor show tho....so what can i say. and why should i explain? show saved my fucking life. like always. only fucking thing in the world that cannot cut you like a knife is pure music. and only pure music is kept to yourself, you dont tie it to stupid relationship problems or anything for that matter. its real, it breathes, molds and moves on its own. you cannot control its affect, you have to let it carry you. isnt that what its for anyways? relief? they've never let my down in all six times i have seen them, even when i saw them without Jim. Who by the way is still my favorite to watch, hes so lively on stage. and chris and clown came out onto the floor and hung out for a min in the lil sound control booth, and then they moved up through the crowd in the seats. i was no where near being that close, but when we worship under the same roof, and are cristened with same pain, blood, sweat and strength we overcome even the weakness links and evilest of opponents. you can cut me now if you'd like. but i promise you all that will spill out will be slipknot in the shade of vermillion.
