cross country

Best sport ever, probably the only sport worth participating in because the players and coaches aren't redneck douche bags.

Also gives you a lot of stamina. XC guy + XC girl = hot sex

I like running because I can do it on my own terms and at my own pace. Much better than having some fat 50 year-old redneck son-of-a-bitch football coach yelling at me to go long or pass the ball.

john frusciante

Guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also a solo artist as of recently. Very creative, uses a lot of heavy distortion, compression, and delay effects.

Frusciante plays economically on the pepper's studio albums, but has some wicked solos on their live ones.

steve vai

Steve Vai is a guitar player who is both extremely creative and technically proficient. I personally consider him to be the most creative guitarist that's not retired/dead.

He used to tour with Frank Zappa and currently tours with Joe Satriani on G3.

"The 7th Song" is my favorite Steve Vai album

dimebag

Dimebag Darrel was a great metal guitarist.

But he's not the virtuoso that the media is making him out to be now that he's been shot to death. Pinch harmonics, fast pentatonic solos, whammy bar dives, killer riffs. He's an awesome metal guitarist, but I'd be lying if I said he's one of the best players I've ever heard.

Also, I know it's supposed to be about the music and not about the image, but the number of posers that have been latching onto Pantera/Damageplan now that he's dead is really annoying. Because Pantera was all about going against the mainstream... the real Pantera fans know what I'm talking about

Dimebag Darrel was a most excellent guitarist

kirk hammet

Lead guitarist for Metallica, since 1983. Replaced Dave Mustaine. Gets a lot of shit from Megadeth fans and from idiots who otherwise don't like Metallica. He's a damn good player though.

Kirk Hammett can play faster than you or anyone you know, so think twice before saying that he "sucks", ok?

krav maga

Krav Maga isn't recognized as a true "martial art", because it teaches techniques that are "dishonorable" and/or couldn't be used in a fighting ring without really hurting the opponent. It's more like Israeli street fighting.

But it's really powerful and practical in real fights, teaches you where to strike to inflict the most damage, how to disarm opponents, get out of bear hugs/choke holds etc.

And it's not just in LA anymore, there are training centers all over the US now

Pretend a couple of dumbass emo kids try and jump you in the parking lot after class... if you know Krav Maga, you can break their knee caps, punch in a few wind pipes, even go for their testicles/eyes. All they'll know how to do is throw a pathetic right cross.

I've actually squared off with a kid who was bigger than me and had to be careful not to mortally injure him.

ultimate-guitar

A website/forum with great guitar tablatures. It has some awesome guitarists that tab songs and even make instructional videos.

Unfortunatley the forum community is mostly made up of dumbass high school freshmen who want to learn to play power chords like their hero, Billy Joe Armstrong. And God forbid when they try to tab something simple like a pop-punk song, they fuck it up somehow.

If you're a good guitarist who doesn't think that My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold are the pinnacle of musicianship, come check out Ultimate-Guitar.

If you picked up the guitar to try to get pussy, stay the fuck away.
