Woooo! ;) I'm so stoked to see Otep & Fear Factory, and of course Anthrax, BLS, TESTAMENT and of course Slipknot is headlining. And…

ALS Rant by Dean Ditty
I saw this last night and died laughing. Then I showed my son (don't worry he's an adult and can handle the profanity). If you haven't seen this, it's a must! Don't get me wrong, I think bringing awareness to ANY health issue is great! This dude does present a very valid point tho....Muthaf*ckers! LOL…

Got Insomnia?
For those of you who have insomnia issues, I'd like to start a thread to discuss. I tend to start having issues with insomnia around the holidays, mainly because I used to dread them as a kid.

I've noticed that since I've amped up my strength training that my cramps aren't as bad as they have been in the past. When I was regularly working out a few years ago I noticed that my period was lighter, ended sooner and cramps were pretty rare (PMS was at a minimum too!). I am definitely not complaining about it - just…

Hi There!
