Well, here is the first installment into this section. I learned how to snowboard! I am not very good, but I did learn how to start, stop turn and I am awesome at my signature move the "faceplant". I tried some jumps and made it into the air fine, but did not land any.

Sick Of It All, Death By Stereo, AFI, Planet Smashers, Zero Down and Nicotine are coming to my homeland!!! Raide Fist are coming too, but on a separete tour!!! When I get back, I will be sure to report on that. I am hopefully going to make it to Sick Of It All, but Raised Fist are probably not going to see me. Hardcore punk fucking rock, the way the world should be.

Lars Fredericksen (check spelling) and The Bastards Rock!! I am a huge Rancid fan already, and I thought these guys would be a cheap wuss act. Shit was I wrong. The first time I put it in it kicked me square in the teeth! These guys rock! Buy it! They are no Rancid phony, they are completely different, but not in a bad way. They are fast and furious. On a scale of 1-10, I giv this 11! That's right, 11.

Offspring, in case you have not already noticed, have sold out. "Conspiracy of One" sucks my ass. It has about 3 good songs. What happened to "Smash" and "Ignition"? The Smash album was what got me started on punk music in the first place. The band members have not changed, but the music sure did. Until they return to their old selves, 2 out of 10.

On the same note, Bad Religion's "New America". What the fuck??? They have sold out completely. I thought Offspring were bad, but damn, these guys suck now. Remember "Suffer" of course you do, cuz it was good. This will be out of your head in about 3 seconds. 1 out of 10.

On the brighter side, Pennywise "Live At The Key Club" earned itself 1,000,000 out of 10. Their best yet. These guys rule live. Buy it now!!
