1. What makes you an avaid fan of a band? Music....if they have a vibe that I KNOW is just...there....It's like listening to a heart beat in a way...it's just so cool to do...over and over and over and over. Stage Energy is another part. I've seen bands that were phenominal musically, but didn't know how to sell it...and thats a big part for me. Crowd interaction. Lots of up-in -coming bands love to share the floor with thier fans: Misconcieved, Snot, Chaos Theory, etc. There is something that just hits the "f'ing cool" button when there is a band member performing ADMIST the audience. 2. What goes into being an avid fan? You have to go to shows and have merch...thats big for me....being a fan of the music isn't enough...you need to get into the "giving the band money" aspect...go BUY merch: cd's, shirts, shot glasses, whatever...and get that shyt SIGNED while your their too...always makes the band feel awesome...and makes you feel awesome too. Remember that coat, Cix?...my GF's Coat??...the one you guys signed??...try like 100+ signatures on it now!! 3. Are there any local bands that you are an avid fan of? Chaos Theory, Misconcieved, Tension Head, Bat on Fire, Know Lyfe, Big Fat Kill, NuRokSol, Detroit VooDoo. 4. What are things that keep you from being an avid fan? honestly....reason I don't have MORE shirts from bands...shirt sizes...wtf is going on with cutting them out before the XXL....ARGH!!!! Also...I can't make it to EVERY SHOW...and some shows don't seem worth it, even being an avid fan. Lets take Harpos...I LOVE my boys in Misconcieved, but they realize the same problem that I do: you can go for two-maybe three good bands...and get bombarded with about 12 lack luster ones that you couldn't give a rats ass about. 5. What reasons (If there are any) would you have for not going to see a local band that you are a fan of? See 4, when I mention Harpos. Money is tight too...and i don't own a car, so unless I can get me and someone taking me in free....which is a 70% chance....I don't go. Distance really wouldn't bother me as long as I have a ride willing to go.

Actually...it's BEEN gone "past years when Republicans ran Congress and, with George W. Bush in the White House, excluded Democrats from lawmaking. " - Quote from NY times. from the Tyranny of the Majority....like what the Republicans have done MULTIPLE times in the past??? Also Absolute would be that one side control the majority of power in ALL of the branches, which has not happened yet, but while the Democrats seem to be willing to reach across the lines, certian Republicans have stated, in house, that they REFUSE to vote on the presidents' and offers, even before they are heard...hell...even before the President ARRIVES at the Senate or House. like I said...this whole thing is one sided, has nothing to do with states rights, and is a VERY bad idea.

Oh Magick 8-Ball, Will I get past this current crisis and get back to handling the important things??

Non-Magic Eight Ball....how do I dial 9-1-1??

Hey Cher....make sure you take your "He-Man" costume....it's gonna be spiffy seeing picks of you with fluffy underroos!!! as much as I would LOVE to go back....I, alas, cannot this year. I got too many things coming along (concerts, etc) for me to go off camping this year.

true...but if they are bumped from the flight...their ticket should be TRANSFERED to the next available flight, just like anyone else...not "forced" to purchase a second ticket. THATS a form of discrimination

that goes without saying....but that's not the problem...the problem is that the USofA has NEVER been a True Republic, so to start wanting to act like one now, when our whole economy is in a spiral down, is an INSANELY bad descision. And this isn't JUST about the seperate rights of the states, but whats best for the people as a whole, and I don't think that we will be better off with State Sovereignty over a united Federal Goverment. If anything, we'll be WORSE, because Americans have never had to deal with the reality of a True Republic, if thats what the states making a fuss really want. Also, there is still the fact that, while our country was spiraling to the point where we are now, in the past 8 years....no one DARED start talks like this, and if anything, thats when it SHOULD have started. Also...it would be alot MORE viable as a problem to the American People if it wasn't JUST Republicans...because I, with MANY other people I know, both Republican and Democrat, find it funny how, for the past 8 years, when we have been SPIRALLING down the sink of Ecomonic Turmoil, largely because of the Bush Admin, not a single Republican spoke up about such ideas....though it was WELL in their right. but now, that a Democrat is in office, for like 4 months, and we STILL have a bad economy, lets bitch, whine, and threaten to leave the Union. does that not seem just....convienent...to you?

Lemme see Dream I was living at a geriatric home...at the age of like...12. The house was like a 3-4 story Victorian Style place...rather large. For some reason it was out on the edge of a HUGE cliff...think "where the sidewalk ends" style. It was dark and stormy..but no rain..so we were having a BIRTHDAY PICNIC outside. Suddenly, there is a tremor and the ground opened up....and The Devil, who looked EXACTLY like the John Astin (TV's original Gomez Addams), pops up in a red suit, pitchfork, and little horns. He makes a speech about how the party could be much better and the ground trembles again, this time revealing a 3 tier cake underneath him, the bottom tier turning clockwise, and the 2nd tier turning counter clockwise. Both tiers have Vegas dancing girls dressed like devils. Musical Number enters "Sympathy for the Devil". Exit Dream ok...so I have some WEIRD dreams

Rep. Sam Rohrer- Penn. NH Rep works from home wow....lets examine the PROBLEMS with this idea. #1: Not a single state is turning down the money, offered by the Federal Goverment, as long as the "strings" aren't attached. If there are "strings" attached, then they don't want the money....but they will take the FEDERAL money as long as no strings are there. So they want the money...but not the responsibilities that come with the money. Thats like having a job that you don't have to go to (a.k.a the "work from home" NH Representatives). #2: Considering that the money is from a POOL of states, and that it is different per state, according to their needs, then they are getting money that is from other sources. If we were to give Pennsylvania what was paid by Pennsylvania...and ONLY what was paid by Pennsylvania....then they would be offered MUCH less then what they are now, and wouldn't have enough to do half the state programs they have now...or even half the programs they are trying to save. #3: In a TRUE Republic, which the US has NEVER been, each state is responsible for it's own currency development and tariffs. Half these states, such as Penn and NH, would never survive being able to develop and print it's own currency. There is also the problem that the states in a TRUE Republic have the right to place an EMBARGO on any other state in the Republic, meaning that if, for no real reason at all, NY decides they don't want, or need, to deal with Penn, NH, or any other state, then they can place an Embargo on them, denying to accept their currency, to allow for their currency to be EXCHANGED to another form, or for goods FROM those states to pass through on an established route of trade. Think of how high certian goods will be AFTER this. If you think the price of Lobster diner is high now, wait till that lobster has to go all the way down to Florida, out to the Dakotas, and then across Wisconsin for you to be able to eat it. And such a thing as Fresh Seafood, if the embargo effects that, will be a thing of the past for certian areas. #4: Their Hypocrites. We all pay taxes. We pay taxes to the States and Counties that we reside in...there are seperate state taxes on food, fuel, electricity, and other products. According to their theory, we should each be allowed to call our State Houses and ask for a allowance of money with no strings, according to our needs. If they refuse, we should tell them that we will then cede from their state and create our own private states. Go ahead...see how far that goes. WE pay the taxes...WE pay their salaries....but WE, as citizens, have very little right with what goes on in our own states, and ceding from the Union will not make that any different. We can petition, bitch, whine, protest, etc, as much as we want, but it depends on the PEOPLE in the office on what happens with OUR money....not us. Also, I don't recall any Republician bitching up a storm like this when Bush sat in office and the last 8 years of our economy was spiraling downwards. I, for one, will not support any state that threatens to cede from the Union. Welcome to the fall of our Rome.

It has nothing to do with Fuel costs for the plane. The fuel used on flying a full plane of people under 220 lbs and a plane that has say, 4 people over 300lbs and the rest of the passengers at 220lbs, is going to be the same amount. It is such a large craft that passenger weight differential, unless it is to an IMMENSE degree, say...20+ people over 300 lbs on the same flight, has no effect on fuel usage. It's about passenger comfert....and it's also a form of discrimination by the airlines. I'm over 300 lbs and I don't take up two seats in a plane. Hell...I don't take up two seats on a Grey Hound Bus, which has smaller seats. Does that mean that I should pay for another seat that I am not physically occupying just because of my weight???

LMFAO....he's probably pissed about the weather..lol...he's not used to the weather.

Relik and I can't remember the name of the band..but this chick Aziza is REALLY good also..if you caught 2nd System back when Troll and Megan were in it..that was a POWERHOUSE group...like Orgy meets Lacuna Coil for the jazzy lovers Dana Owens (better known as Queen Latifah...don't laugh...she's got some INSANE cords) Danielle Brisbois (you can hear her stuff on "As Good as it Gets") Josephine Cronholm ("if I apologized" was on the "Mirrormask" soundtrack)
