July 3,2002:
Before I start with my column I just want to say that I am more organized now. I know more of what I am doing instead of just writing crap down. Hopefully, in time my writing will get better. So I will have my column and than a review or maybe a piece of entertainment news, mommy like? No? Ok,how about daddy like?
What do I have up my sleeve for today's Kizzastrophe?
Up Kizz's Sleeve 4 July 3,2003:
1.America the Beautiful (main story)
2.Music Rave: Incubus, Warning Don't Let This Band Pass You By

America the Beautiful
I was watching CNN today and they were talking about how we need to be careful about visiting monumental places during the 4th. Such as, the Statue of Liberty. It would be awful to be visiting the Statue of Liberty and have it blow up with you in it. I mean I love fireworks but , I do not want to be in a fireworks show. So for all of our safety we should just stay at home and relax, right?
You hear people say "If we stay away from visiting historical and monumental structures, we basically let the terrorists beat us!" And we all know we don't want the terrorists to have beaten us while we are sitting at home with family. We'd rather take a chance of being blown up so we could see the Statue of Liberty or the White House. We all know we cannot see them another day, they might disappear you know...(note: I am saying that with sarcasm). If we do stay at home instead of going to some historic place, how do the terrorists know that we stayed home? I mean, do they have cameras in our houses now? Are we on Big Brother?! Please no! Let me be on a better reality TV show than Big Brother! Wait...if this is a fear, could we be on Fear Factor! If you want to go to a historic place for the fourth of July than I guess, fear is not a factor for you.
Did you hear about the whole Toby Keith and Peter Jennings ordeal? For ABC's Fourth of July show, Toby was going to sing his song," Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue". Jennings supposedly found the lyrics to be explicit. Oh come on! Give me a break! I forgot Peter Jennings is from Canada. But hey! You know what I love Canadians. I mean a fave band of mine is from Canada. Oh, and South Park is hilarious. I just think Jennings is overreacting.
While we are talking about patriotism what do you think about the whole Pledge of Allegiance deal? I think it is retarded. I mean, the Pledge unconstitutional? Just because it says "God"? While we are at it, why don't we rule movies that have GD in it unconstitutional. Or when people say "oh my god" is that not unconstitutional? Besides, when people say the pledge one nation under God could mean different things to them. It could be Muhammad or Ali. It could mean Satan to some people, for all we know. And if you do not like it, you do not even have to say it. Nobody is forcing you. It is not like we have a gun pointed to people's heads making them say the pledge as they stare at the flag.
This is all my opinion, like it, hate it, love it. I do not care what you think about it.

Incubus: Warning Don't Let This Band Pass You By
Looking for a rock band that is different from the rest? A band that has a very unique sound? Well, my friend, I think the band you are looking for is Incubus. The lead singer is Brandon Boyd. Not only does he have a great voice, he is hot too. Their lyrics are incredible. I have never been to one of their concerts, but I have read and heard about them. Just go to www.incubusonline.com and go to the message board. You can read about their experiences. One girl on the board said," One of the best concerts I have been too!!!!!!" Another said about their concert in New Orleans," I gathered up four friends and traveled 9 hours from Arkansas down to see the show. It was beyond anything I expected. Just spectacular is all I can say. Two of my friends weren't looking forward to the show, but after seeing them afterwards, they had been converted. Another job well done."
Some of the songs I like by them are: Stellar, Drive, Wish You Were Here, Warning, 11 AM, Nice To Know You, Aqueous Transmission, and my all time favorite is I Miss You. All of their songs are great, those are just some of my favorites.
Their newest single is "Warning". I like the video and the song. It has a really good meaning. Some of you may wonder what exactly does it mean? Brandon Boyd says it tells a small story about a person who has the world at the tips of her fingers but through the art of distraction and compromise she wakes up one day to find that it has slipped by her. And the information she gains from her mistake she shares in song with the rest of the world. Kind of a 'don't do what I did' lamentation.
Check out their newest album Morning View. Check out their other ones too. The official website for Incubus is www.enjoyincubus.com . Do not let this band pass you by.
