| 3) Muse
- There are three main reasons that Muse are the third best band of today. One reason is their obvious originality. Nobody sounds like these guys. They are one of the the artsiest bands of all time (right up there with Pink Floyd [who are not all that good] and E.L.O.) A few might say that Muse sounds like Radiohead, but they don't; and that's a fact. A second reason is their use of effects. Wah, strings, ambient noises, they do it all, and with their looping technology they can do it all live. The final reason is Matt Bellamy. Opra-trained, classically trained in piano and more than an apt guitar player, Matt is the ingredient that makes Muse funtion and makes it the third best band.
2) Audioslave
- Oh my goodness, these guys are so awesome and real that I think my left arm is about to fall off! By "real" I mean not Sugarcult, Fall Out Boy or Franz Ferdinand. Sure, Sugarcult has a cool name because it has "cult" in it. . . and cults are kinda cool to talk about, right? And Fall Out Boy's okay because they show up on MTV and give me the Top Ten Video Countdown on TRL. And Franz is super rad because they've got funky riffs, dress snazzy and pretend to be gay, which might be kind of possibly funny. . . I guess? Those bands might be popular, cool, or even borderline talented, but they're not real rock. Audioslave is about as real as you can get. Fueled by the powerful guitarwork of Tom Morello and the intense vocals and songwriting of Chris Cornell, these guys just get you pumped. I mean, seriously, I'm getting pumped right now just typing about Audioslave. They're all about the rockin' guitars and awesome, sometimes thoughtful lyrics. Rather than singing about skateboarding and breakups, Chris sings about setting it off (Set It Off) and Native-American Indians (Cochise), which are two very awesome, very "rock" things --- they know that rock is not about whining, rock is about expression and they have a cause. To top it all off, each member of Audioslave is sickly talented with his instrument. Strong vocals and songwriting, intense guitar, powerful bass and solid, supportive drums. Wow, I think my left arm just fell off. . . yeah, it actually did.
1) The Red Hot Chilipeppers
- Today, the popular philosophical belief is that there are no universal truths. Hamburgers and tacos plain don't taste good, they just taste good. . . to you; Seinfeld isn't the funniest show ever, it's just the funniest show ever. . . to you. I'm not even going to address how backward and wrong this point of view is. . . to me. What I will do is utterly destroy this argument's validity with seven words: The Red Hot Chilipeppers are SO AWESOME. If you already know how pure, talented and awesome The Chili's are, then to say anything after that previous statement would be beating a dead horse. If you don't know how pure, talented and awesome The Chili's are already, then it's already too late for you. . .I'm sorry.

| Here's a list of people and "their words" and "their phrases"; words and phrases that they have knowingly or unknowlingly attached to themselves or overuse.
Fletch: "awesome" and "AUUUGH!"
The J-man: "lolz" and "most def"
Seth: "beast" . . . (I can't think of a phrase he overuses.)
Chelsea: "definately" and "oh, that's amazing!"
Bethany: "right..." and "juuust a little bit"
Craig: "like" and "I am, like, teh_pwnage lolz" (or something like that)
James Turner: "amazing" . . . (I can't think of his either)
Lynsey: "awww" and "awww...I love (insert anything)
Beautiful Stephen: (Anything that's scandalous and stirs things up)
Myself: "unbelievable" and "It's as hot as the fiery furnace out/in here!"
There's plenty more I'm sure, but those were the obvious ones. Let me know about anymore.

A Tribute to The Justman
Okay, for those of you who weren't there
Monday when we won our first game, Justin not only played an awesome
game, scoring multiple points and crashing the boards...
HE ATE A SANDWICH DURING THE GAME!!!
That's right, the ball's
going out of bounds, he attempts a save, then takes a bite out of my
dad's sandwich during the game!!! No timeouts, clocks still running, he
does it and runs down the court to score! (With a sandwich being chewed
in his mouth.)
Just take some time to absorb that and
play it in your mind. It was one of the most outrageous and awesome
things I've seen. And I've seen a lot of awesome things. Alot. This is
up there.
