Mosh Code

The (no-longer) Unwritten Code of the Pit.

Mosher = Someone in the pit who's there for the music, not to cheap shot someone else, not to start a fight, not to be 'cool' or 'scene'.

  • Thou shalt not target a fellow mosher.
  • Thou shalt not hold grudges.
  • Thou shalt not throw knees.
  • Thou shalt not be overly fisty, nor elbowy.
  • Thou shalt help another mosher get up to surf, if unable, find someone who can.
  • Thou shalt help female moshers when required.
  • Thou shalt get a fellow mosher of the ground as soon as possible.
  • Thou shalt get another mosher to the front (security) if they're in trouble.
  • Thou shalt protect smaller moshers.

duck you

to whip out a cliched over used movie quote '..shit just got real.'

talking about leadership, sport, school and schoolies has made me realise that everything is traveling along fast, which don't get me wrong.... is good.

but let me explain... jackass, 'dict and i have been planning GYC for a while and this dream has been such a fun thing to plan. and stupidly, i actually thought it was going to happen.

just a disclaimer, if you previously said in a douche-like tone 'it's never going to happen' and the first thing you're going to do after reading this is building up to a huge 'i told you so'.... don't, i will engage in some good old fashion neglect...

now, what made me realise this was the sudden onset of schoolies... cost of schoolies to be straight up. with school, basketball and life i'm not going to have time to earn the (probable) sum of AU$5000 + the dosh for a return ticket whilst also forking a good $800 for schoolies.

now as i explained to dear jackilyn, if it arises later in the year that we may be able to smash out a good 6 months in europe 'packin, ill be up for it. but my priorites right now (among other things) are to have a good schoolies* and to earn the required amount for youth allowance.

they're my thoughts on the next two years, and i'm sure they'll differ... but yeah i'm not as cut as i thought i'd be about the lack of GYC.

*my idea of a good schoolies (atm) is hanging out with people i know and maybe getting f'ed up.
