Check out - MAAJAK World - One of the best pages on the web! Usually updated daily.

I'm back. I haven't updated this page in over a year in a half. Since then, I competed in 2 grappling touranments, attended the WMAW 2004, have read a lot, gotten into art and making jewerly. Ideally, I'll update this page more frequently - I'm going to try for a few updates a month. I'm changing the format of my page to be more positive and to give exposure to things that are not in the mainstream, like underground independent bands. Music is the main topic on the page for this update. Enjoy! More coming soon!

I am no longer supporting the NRA. I really wanted to believe that they were about supporting our Constitution and Amendment rights - but their blind and total committed support of George Bush was the last straw for me. This is the man who has taken away more of our rights than anyone. The Patrioit Act as the most glaring example. I will be linking other groups and articles that I think are truly about educating people and protecting our rights as citizens.

Stuff to Check out	Be an informed citizen	Of interest
MUSIC - stuff I'm listening to. Really excellent bands. You can hear some of their stuff on the web - worth buying the CD and definetly see them live if you can! SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MUSIC! Divinity Destroyed - a great progressive metal band If man is five - hard to describe. Heavy melodic - cool. Singer has impressive vocal range without being annoying. Lotus Project - a friend of mine's band with a very intense and complex Metal sound Others - another friends's great band - heavy, gothic. The Witching All female, aggressive, Rock and Roll. Not sure what is up with their website, it's been down for a while. Chord of Souls - a great online zine Here's a great DVD you can get for only $ 3 + s&h. A friend of mine has a great new project called Xtreme Soundscapes. Every few months a new DVD will be available showcasing independent and underground bands - interviews, videos and live performances of the bands - 2 hours of stuff! A great bargain! They do release show for the DVD with a majority of the bands playing for a real low price. LISTEN TO THE LAST EXIT FOR THE LOST - Saturdays EST midnight to 6 am. Music you probably won't hear anywhere else - heavy, progressive, gothic, punk and generally unusal. Comedy/weird talk breaks. Who is this guy? Listen online - live chat room as well. Chiang Sheng - still fabulous after all these years. No one is cooler than the Venoms! United States Bill of Rights - if you don't know these, you should.	Look for new stuff here in the next update - in the meantime, these are still worth a view. TAKE ACTION - want to keep your 2nd amendment rights? DO SOMETHING. Take a gun safety course. Learn the facts, instead of being manipulated by the media. Get a pistol permit while you still can. Do your own research on guns, crime and death. Reading pop magazine and news paper articles does not count!
