WHAT'S IN MY iPOD

FORMAT:
The format for these posts will be as follows three bands a little blurb from me to you about them and two standout tracks for you downloaders out there.

Envy on the Coast
This band is from long island, New York and gives you some of the same style as taking back Sunday another band from long island. These guys only have and EP out but they are in the studio right now working on their full length release catchy hooks smart lyrics is what makes this band special. Plus their live show is awesome great energy and great sound.

STANDOUT TRACKS:
“Temper Temper”
“Suckerpunch”

The Rapture
A band from America that sounds like there are from the UK this album is a dance album for the most part. No don’t go and think it’s a club album because we know I don’t listen to that kind of stuff. But these guys have a great beat driven sound that makes you want to move and groove to it.

STANDOUT TRACKS:
“The Devil”
“Whoo! Alright-Yeah...Uh Huh”


MAN MAN
I post this band for my buddy Kyle I told him about them a while back and I will let everyone else know about them here. This band is crazy I saw them live a while back and their live show is one that has to be seen to fully experience it. Dressed in all white and war paint they play their instruments with ferociousness and fervor it’s unbelievable. The sound they produce is like a pirate gypsy band of traveling sailors the lead singer’s voice is unmistakable once you hear it and give the bands an even more niche sound then they already produce. Not for everyone but worth a listen non the less. I love them.

“Van Helsing Boombox”

Randumb Fore Prezident...Yes Ma'am, I'd Love to Sign Your Baby



I realize that 2007 is a non-election year, but we must hit the campaign trail early, if we are to have success, especially in Iowa, with the caucausses and all...
This year has been brief, yet monumental in many ways as we take a moment to breathe in this aura that is becoming a stepping stone as we eagles stray from the nest and prepare to spread our wings and take flight. I have contemplated many things in the past few weeks of '07 (the year of the Eagle...check your Chinese calender), and one moment sticks out. I was laying in bed late one night watching the World Series of Poker when it all hit me! I sat straight up and a nervous twitch came about me as one soul thought consumed me........."Do I have any toilet paper, cuz I gotta drop a deuce big enough to surely choke a medium-sized goat, and there's no time for a run to Wal-Mart!" (If you don't laugh at a subtle poop joke, leave now, as you have no place here)

So, now that that's out of the way, let me break it down like an open-toed sandal...Here's a shovel, hope ya can dig it!
Here is the list of viewpoints of, not a man, but an ideology:

• We already had jelly, so jam was pretty much a collective waste of everyone’s time
• Anyone else think its ironic that “Thou shalt not kill” is a Christian Commandment, yet more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other cause
• Showing up to a party with your beer in a plastic sack automatically means that you Fly a little higher
• At a party at the Casa de el Orchard back when I was a sophomore, my buddy from back home and I ordered Drew Asperson in a game of Asshole… “Take 5 drinks for wearing way too much brown”…I saw Drew last week at the bar…I could have “zinged” him again!!
• “Quinn the Eskimo” is a cool name for a pet, but not your daughter
• RIP Gerald Ford…the only man to serve as both VP and Pres, without actually being elected to either position
• I’ve never met Dean, but I picture him as Mean Gean, the announcer…
• Liquorice is really an edible straw
• Captain Crunch never served any time in the armed forces
• I want to move to Arizona and open a shop that makes screen t-shirts
• I still have the school’s 42” TV
• Flying Eagles should get customized matchbooks
• Meth is a hell of a drug
• You can’t spell “Manslaughter” without “LAUGHTER”
• Chris Sabo was a beast on the hot corner
• Butter is way better than Margarine…I saw through the bullshit
• The “statue of liberty” is possibly the greatest trick play ever drawn up in football…except for maybe the “Annexation of Puerto Rico” from the movie Little Giants
• When will there ever be a Comedy Central special on the rise & decline of the great Chevy Chase
• If I ever get a job in a factory, I want to be the guy that is in charge of putting the ‘bop’ in the ‘bop-shoo-bop-sha-bop’…eventually working my way up to putting the ‘ram’ in the ‘ram-a-lamma-ding-dong’
• A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
• If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.
• If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
• Can you lace your shoes with heroin?
• It would have been a bad political move for Bill Clinton to name his dog Spot, cuz then he would be running around yelling, “Come Spot!” all the time.
• I hate it when John Madden says, “That hole was so big, you could’ve driven a truck through it!” when referring to the offensive line creating a huge hole for the running back…Honestly, I could drive a truck through a tiny hole, or through an area where there appeared to be no hole at all...ya know why, John? … Cuz I’m in a fuckin’ truck!!! That’s why!
• “Mortal Kombat” is an under respected piece of cinema
• A flute without any holes is not a flute, and a doughnut without any holes is a Danish

On a serious note, it is my firm belief that it is the random things that make life worth getting up in the morning (or afternoon). Life my have you "All In" with nothing but a 2/7 off-suit, but if I can make you crack that poker face by telling you that Wile E. Coyote's middle name is really Ethelbert, then you just might (for a second) not worry that the other guy is holding pocket Aces.

Every day I wake up, the first thing I do in the morning is put the "ME" in "AWESOME"

a get together is a must



things have heated up for the flying eagles, with a number of great suggestions. We do need to get an offical list together with everyone's address, email, phone number. as well as get all the offical documents into one place. I propose a february meeting on Sunday the 18th. Since we have many things still to vote on in February such as Rott's nomination for Flying Eagles Song, SCottie's membership badge and the mission statment which is in the final works here at the Cedar Falls Chapter, this would give us time to clear up loose ends and think for more loops holes we have to cover and allow us to include any new members elected in February.
I Believe the february, Sunday the 18th, meeting should take place in Indianola at a Mr. Letzring house, or at Casa day Cedar Falls(wherever more poeple could attend) where a pot luck dinner and the first flag football pratice will take place following the meeting. I would say Saturday the 17th but i work a 16 hour shift on Saturday

What i have on tape for said meeting so far
will be
consolidation of the offical documents, compiling the phone numbers addresss, and email for all members. discussion of what needs to be included on the website(seeing the vote is headed that way) adding the new amenments to code of conduct and valor. Deciding what should go in the welcome to the club package and how to send out(snail mail). Hopefully we can print off this off on offical flying eagles document. any oterh matters that need to be dicussed can be commented here or brought up at said meeting., East coast chapter will be present hopefully via phone. and a heads up of possible club dues to pay for siad website.

I'm sure i'm missing matters, but i'm sure that will be brought up by you guys. There is still one day left to vote and i will post the results on Monday the 22nd

a note from our president Dean Johnson Live and let live and may the flying eagles live forever.

thanks for the hard work
