The Silversun Pickups in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

So the other day as I was listening to the radio, I heard the song "Lazy Eye" by the Silversun Pickups. I thought that the song was excellent, and have since watched a number of their videos on their website, and on youtube. Seems as if they're an up-and-coming band. To me, the sound that they make reminds me a lot of (another one of my favorites) Liz Phair. In fact I was a little surprised to find out that the singer from the band is actually a man. Th

So, do you think this is an urban legend? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Every so-often, this e-mail gets passed around the staff at the school where I work. It is a nice, sweet, possibly inspiring story. This story however, smells like an urban legend. So what do you think: URBAN LEGEND or NOT AN URBAN LEGEND ONE OF THE BEST STORIES I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!!! As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her stud

Reply to Joe User is "Joke User" in Virtual Communities JoeUser Forums

Regardless of the silliness of the above conversation, this website does indeed lean in a particular direction when it comes to American perspectives and politics. I am sure that those who continue to blog here are awfully happy about that.

Catching up on Sweeps Month ER in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Over the past three days my wife and I have been catching up on May's episodes of ER. ER is always known for airing breathtakingly dramatic, frenetic, and/or shocking episodes during sweeps. I think that the most memorable of the sweeps episodes was in season one, when Doctor Green was having an exceptionally hard time delivering a baby, whose mother ultimately died. These last few episodes however have pulled out all of the stops. This is what I have seen on TV over the past three e

American Idol 5 Final Results in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Click here for my latest article Tonight's results' show crowned Taylor Hicks the winner of season five. Going into last night's finale, I thought that the competition was Katharine's to lose. Unfortunately for her, Taylor came on strong last night. No real outrage. No matter which one would have won, they'll both have nice music careers. <D

American Idol 5 Final Results. in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Well, for some reason the site is down. That stinks. I'll have to cut and paste this article once JoeUser is up again. Tonight's results' show crowned Taylor Hicks the winner of season five. Going into last night's finale, I thought that the competition was Katharine's to lose. Unfortunately for her, Taylor came on strong last night. No real outrage. No matter which one would have won, they'll both have nice music careers.<br

Randy's "dawg" and "yo" stuff has gotten waaaaaaay old I don't know. . . He's REALLY toned it down for this season! Kelly is still the only Idol that I have really listened to since the show. </

American Idol Season Five Finale in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Click here for my latest article The best news from tonight's show didn't happen during any of the performances. The best news for me was that Gordon Ramsey's "Hell's Kitchen" will be brought back again for a second season. That'll be fun, as I really enjoyed the first run. Tonight's final featured each contestant singing two of their favorites from the competition, plus a third song which was written originally for ea

American Idol 5 Results' Show. Down to the final two. in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Click here for my latest article As soon as last night's show went off the air, I was on my computer. I had intended to write a "breaking news" style report on the results' show. Sadly, JoeUser wasn't working properly, and I was unable to post. Then, I forgot about posting the results. That's the way these things go. So anyway, after what seemed to be very close voting results (the three contestants were ea

Reply to Tips about Wal Mart in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Cart corrals. That's one of my axes to grind. Sometimes there aren't enough of them at a particular store. Fewer corrals means more parking, but less incentive to do the right thing with the carts. So if there are enough corrals, people should try to use them. If there aren't (such as was the case at my local Wal-Mart), a solution should be encouraged.

American Idol 5: Final Three in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Click here for my latest article. Tonight, each of the final three contestants had to sing three songs. The first song would be one chosen by music mogul Clive Davis. The second song would be chosen by the show's judges (and announced by each contestant's local politician of note.) The third song would be chosen by the contestants themselves. As a whole, tonight's performances were really good. Two of the p

Silver Streak (1976) in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I was watching a baseball game tonight. The Twins were losing to the White Sox by the score of 4-0. It looked as if the Sox's pitcher had the game under control, and that the Twins' offense was going to take the night off. With that in mind, I started flipping through the channels. (Ironically, the Twins came through with a 5 run inning at just about the time I stopped watching. They eventually won 8-4. Goes to show that it really "ain't over. . ."

Surprising American Idol 5 Results' Show in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Click here for my latest article After last night's show, I was certain that either Elliott or Taylor would be going home. Both of those two performed reasonably well last night, but I figured that their elimination was an inevitability en route to a Katharine and Chris final. Surprisingly, it was Chris who was sent home. (With Elliott and Taylor being the top two.) Tonight's result was probably the most surprisin

Click here for my latest article. Tonight the final four Idol contestants gave the songs of Elvis their best shot. Helping the contestants was special guest arranger Tommy Matola. The Performances: Taylor Taylor's first song was "Jailhouse Rock". I'd imagine that this is the type of performance one would expect from a "Taylor" concert. It was fun, but the song itself
