KORN!!!!!!
He played two songs before everyone started to realize the truth. The guy can't sing. Plus, he was mumbling and fidgeting like he was on something. We started to boo. And we threw up the middle fingers. The band was decent, the lead singer was garbage. They got maybe 5 or 6 songs in, with little breaks in between where Mosley just blabbed about nothing. After they left the stage it was about 920. Suddenly, we were surrounded. The crowd packed in. The floor was full. At 945 the KoRn backdrop came up. At 1000 we were covered in sweat. At 1020, Korn Took the stage.
First song out of the gate was Right Now. There was no intro spoken. They just got up and went right into the show. We were jumping. About half way through the crowd got pushed back about 4 feet. We almost got trampled. The pit had started. It was so crowded, that even if I wanted to get in the pit, it would have been near impossible. Korn followed there opening song with "Chi" and than "Did my time" Oh, man. I was already hoarse from screaming along to the first 3 songs.
Than we got "Thoughtless" and follow that up with "Falling Away from Me". Finally, Jonathan Davis took a break to talk to us. He did the normal "Hello Milwaukee!" and set up the next song. "Coming Undone" One of my favorite Korn songs. Needless to say I was head banging so hard my neck hurts. After the first verse and chorus, suddenly the drummer changed the beat just a bit, and Jonathan Davis began to sing "We Will rock you" by Queen. After a verse and a chorus of that, they finished singing Coming Undone. Davis walked of stage and came back out with his Bagpipes. We got the intro to Shoots and Latters, but sadly not the rest of it.
Then they played "Helmet in the Bush". "Here to Stay", and "Fake" We than got the best part of Metallica's "One" The "Landmines, have taken my...." Part.
"Freak on a Leash" Followed. Another break as Davis got on the Mic again. He told us to put our middle fingers in the air and scream "F- That!" That turned into "Y'all want a single". What a great intro.
"Somebody Someone" ended the show. Or not, We stayed put. Korn returned for an Encore.
That's when we got "Blind" Davis than said "If you don't know this next song, your not a Korn fan. "Got the life". We than got a guitar solo from Fieldy and Munky. That turned into "Another Brick In The Wall" That sold it as the best concert I have ever seen. We got out of there at around 1145. Such a great show. So amazing. I can die happy now.
I still don't have my voice 100% back, and my legs are still sore from standing for so long. And jumping up and down. So worth it though.

The Mummy 3
Lets start of with the fact that there is not one single mummy in this. NOT ONE! Despite this, Brendan Frasier and the rest of the cast keep calling the bad guys mummies. Let me explain. Jet Li and his army are cursed by a witch. They become statues. Jet Li burns up and gets frozen as a statue for 2000+ years. He does NOT have his insides removed, his brain removed, his body wrapped in cloth. He doesn't go through any sort of mummification process at all. So he is moved into a tomb with his Terracotta army. Sound familiar? The first emperor did infact create an army of statues to guard his tomb. They were not people that were cursed. Of course, kids watching will think they are!
So after we find out that Brendan Frasier and Mario Bello (yeah, not the chick from the first two) are about 50 years old now, yet still look about 30. There annoying english son is now an annoying AMERICAN 20 year old. Yep, he went from a thick english accent to a full on American accent. Even though he was born in england, and raised in england. It gets better.
He meets chinese woman as he is trying to get the Emperor's body out of the tomb who goes Ninja on his ass, and can speak fluid english. It is rather obvious that she is immortal and after about 45 min. you see that her mom is the same chick who cursed Jet Li. They than speak to each other in perfect english. The two woman have been alive for over 2000 years, live in China, and haven't left China ever, yet they can speak a language that has only existed for about 300 years. That's right. For no apparent reason, two chinese chicks just know how to speak english. I'm skipping over the fact that two chinese generals needed a woman that is an egyptologist to speak ancient chinese, than can speak ancient chinese to Jet Li later in the movie. So they can speak it, just can't read it. AND NO ONE IN CHINA CAN READ ANCIENT CHINESE? You need a person who has studied ONLY Egyptian? And she can just suddenly speak Ancient Chinese? GREAT writting.
So Jet Li has power over the elements. Fire, Water, Wind, Wood (earth) and Metal. Not sure on when Metal became its own element. Metal should be included in Earth, and if Jet Li was such a master of Metal how come he didn't build the great wall outta it? HUH? So Jet Li, when he returns to life, Can cast fireballs, make ice missles, and with the power of Heart can grow an awesome mullet....oh wait that's Captain Planet. Same thing. So Captain Planet has to take a diamond to the top of a tower and find the pool of eternal life. He makes it to the top of the tower in the Himilayans, and the Immortal chick starts yelling in some crazy language and suddenly Yetis show up. That's right. Yetis. They have there own language. And some immortal chinese chick commands them. These vicious creatures don't bite, or tear apart their enemies. They throw them. That's right. Giant claws and teeth, and they pick them up and chuck them. The worst part of the movie comes when the Yetis pump there fists in the air and cheer. I half expected them to break open a Mountain Dew and chug it.
After this we get Captain Planet putting the diamond on top of the tower and the path is shown. The pool is about 200 yards up the same mountain. NO ONE THOUGHT TO CHECK THE REST OF THE MOUNTAIN??????? He travels up the mountain and another battle takes place. Than he walks into the pool and is restored. Out of no where he is now able to shape shift. These two chinese chicks both went into the pool to become immortal also, THEY COULDN'T SHAPESHIFT? WHY? WHO KNOWS?
Captain Planet than starts to shapeshift into creatures from "Where the wild things are". I won't give away the ending, because the movie does a good enough job of doing that itself. Let's just say it was crap. Crap! I could say more, but I've already put more time into this movie than the writers did.

CC Sabathia
When the courting began for CC in free agency, the news was all over where he wanted to go. We heard a few things.
- "I want to go where I will have fun"
- "I would like to go to LA. That's where my family is"
- "I want to hit. So the NL is the place for me"
- "Money is not important"
- "Milwaukee is the most fun I've had in a long time"
So #1 and #5 go together. Now we thought he was coming back. #2- The Dodgers and The Angels thought they were getting him. #3 Now just the Dodgers and The Brewers. #4- Everyone thought he was going to either the Dodgers or The Brewers. So then he went to the Yankees. Let's break it down this way.
- No fun. He had to shave his beard, wear a not so baggy uniform, and will be looked at as a failure if he doesn't win 15 games.
- New york is as far from LA as you can get.
- New York is in the American League. Home to the DH. Sabathia will never hit at Yankee Stadium. He may never have an at bat all year.
- Money WAS important. He took it and ran.
- See #1. Also, he was really good friends with Cameron and Feilder. Neither are going to New York anytime soon. Also, If you do bad CC you will be traded. How does the Washington Nationals sound to you?
I cannot forgive a guy who gives 5 reasons why he doesn't want to go to New York and chooses the one thing NY has that no one else does. Money. Hope you enjoy it you money hungry bitch. You make me sick. What happened to you? You were one of the guys who played the game to win. Played the game because it was what you loved. Why would you take the money and piss on your fans. I hope you fail. So then maybe you get cut and have to come crawling back to us. At reduced pay, of course.
Bring back Travis and the 28
