Forgive me for the Beavis/Butthead-esque reply, but it's truly because some people suck. On a related tangent, personal experience has shown me that if you actually muster up the energy to ask somebody why they're doing something that sucks, they won't be able to answer you. If you ask somebody that's especially sharp, you might see their blank stare break if only for a few seconds while they do their best to contemplate whether or not what they're doing is stupid, but then they either have a stroke or continue along in their suckiness. Either way, you lose. I don't really understand it either, but if I ever do, the solution might be my ticket to finally getting rich off of the internet. It's bound to happen someday. - Matt - http://www.howtomakepeoplestopdoingstuffthatsucks.com/

[MMouse]: about d.c. last night [the good and the bad] + pics.
i am not going to bother with the set list, because i can't remember the whole thing. they did an encore, yes. regardless. i took pics with my digicam and if you'd like to take a gander i put them up in a directory at http://www.underworld.net/~madflowr/mouse/ they played 'all night diner'. and that was spectacular. something not spectacular: when some asshole jumped up on stage and proceeded to jump off it and land on my head. i fell backwards and my head hit the floor. i was so incredibly pissed at this guy already since he got some boys [and a few girls even] riled up enough to start moshing in a pit. i think expressing yourself by dancing is great. pogoing is great. singing along. finger pointing. yelling out requests. whatever floats your boat, that's great. but when you start hurting people for no reason, that is very far from great. especially if someone expresses that they are in misery because you are doing something that directly affects them [aka moshing] and you KEEP on doing it. that's just plan wrong. if you're on the list i really sincerely hope that i hurt you while you were on the ground, because you really hurt a *lot* of people by moshing into them when it was clear that they were not liking it one bit. you could have moved over a bit so as to not inflict pain upon someone who does not want to take part in it. if you're at the show tonight [wed], i hope you stay away from me. i love the mouse and i got there pretty early last night so i could be up front and then you had to go and give me bruises and make the show bad for other people. hope you're happy. sorry list. the show other than that was great. but it's hard to enjoy when the human pinball keeps whacking up against you. madflowr "isn't life too short for shyness?" ripples (trembling blue stars) Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
