Mosey Single File back to Flags – QIC brings out the baby boom box for what the exercises so far has prepared the PAX for – Mosh Pit!!!!
PAX was explained the etiquette of proper moshing:
- Keep Feet moving (prevents you from tripping and being trampled)
- Keep arms out with elbows bent (prevent errant elbows smashing your face)
- Practice Ahimsa (without violence) through violence – No intent to harm your fellow mosher
- Let the music flow through you, it is the only form of communication that talks directly to your soul. So LET IT FLOW…
- My Favorite Number
With the PAX briefed, the playlist was just the first two songs from Nine Inch Nails sophomore “Broken” album, 1. Pinion (builds you up into…) 2. Wish. The song is only 4 minutes, but the PAX could only last 1, take 1, try another 1, rest 1. It’s a HARD workout friends! Beta really Smashed into us (He brought out his Lilith Fair rage) with Lep remising about Metallica and Batman taking the etiquette to heart. Next TTT called out at Rudyards, given the PAX a chance to practice after a few drinks (agreeable, the best way to be in a mosh pit, side note, my best experience was a nin show at the Woodlands, when I woke up the next day wondering how I got a shooting pain from one side of my jaw to the other, with the pain lasting a full week, ah the memories!)
With the wimp out in the pit, the PAX were subjected to a Q-o-rama round of mary set to the reprisal of the song of the day “…Baby One More Time”

Thank you Lord for giving us the body to strengthen, the mind to strengthen, and the intellect to develop. Iron sharpens Iron, we make ourselves stronger, and with that strength, strengthen those around us. Take a deep breath…Amen, Jay Shree Krisna

Music is the window into the soul. It is what our scriptures are written to, it is how we express more than simple words can express. Being my 25th Q (I counted them today), I always wanted to try to bring some music to a BD. My fear is getting the music to work IC with our exercises, that is a work in progress. But I was happy I could share my favorite genres, Disco, Pop (the real stuff), and Industrial. Add music to your life, to nourish your soul…
Shout out to Britney – missed you bud, you were the first one to shout out to me on Band, we’ll bring it for the full on Britney Spears BD…work in progess…
