helmet goes on, and i get pumped.

i get on the stage and get everyones attention

"i want everyone to spread apart so there is a bit of space between all of you. now stand perfectly still."

"now repeat after me. 'i'm gunna have a good time tonight!' [i'm gunna have a good time tonight!]"

"we have to keep going!"

"ok, i am tired of that chant. lets do a new one... how about... 'i just wanna feel ok. YEAH!' [i just wanna feel ok. YEAH!]"

"we have to keep going!!"

"ok stop! i'm tired."

"isnt this amazing?! right now we are all equal!"

"no one in this room right now is better than another person because of their stupid haircuts or their tight pants! we are all on the same level right now!"

"it's all about unity! ska music has the right idea. i have never felt more unified with people in the music scene than i do right now."

"everyone i know has been having bad days lately and i am so sick of it! i am so sick of having bad days! this exercise is meant to help motivate us all to be better people"

"and now that i have everones attention i would like to point out that i have lots of merchandise for sale, including the very limited hi my name is ryan 'i like photobooths' cd. only 18 copies in the world!"

"I Am So Happy!!!! but i am also very sweaty and dehydrated and need to take this helmet off"

then i had to gather all of the caution tape up.

and flee to the photobooth

the end.
