******warning, pointless silliness ahead********

am a recovering mosh ninja. That's right, it's been almost a decade since my last windmill/cartwheel combo. It's hard, because every time i go to shows i am around it, and i watch it with disgust. It's hard for me to imagine why i enjoyed doing it. I really did love the music, but looking back, i missed SOO many good sets trying to "represent" in the pit. During a show that my band at the time (CATALEPTIC EPISODE) was supposed to play, I found out that FAITH NO MORE had just broken up. And this threw me into a fit of rage. I tied my bandanna tight, i hiked up my UFO cargo pants, and i took out my lip rings to avoid injury. CIRCLE OF HATE was playing on stage, and they were covering "Biotech is Godzilla" from SEPULTURA, and i kicked a kid behind me (by accident) right in the jaw. I felt my foot connect, and turned to see him stand straight as a tree with a glazed look in his eyes. Someone yelled "Timber" and he fell flat on his back. He wasn't seriously injured, but I think he did go to the hospital for X-rays. The show got canceled, (later we found out it wasn't because of me, but because the underage promoter was drinking in his hotel room) my band was bullshit (we were next) and i was devastated. I dance-fought behind a train station that night, braking glass bottles, and smoking cigarettes, and finally burnt my hardcore bandanna in a trash can. I vowed i would never dance-fight again. I took a couple year break from going to shows between the ages of 18 and 23, (coincidentally i don't really remember much of these 5 years) and when i started again, I couldn't fathom ever wanting to do it again.

am i alone? Did anyone else have the same shameful habit i had? What made you stop?

-everything you just read is true.. except the whole dance-fight thing behind a train station. I just love footloose.
