Leave a comment

After a brief hiatus from film since, “The Blind Side”, Sandra Bullock is finally ready to go to work. After her heated divorce with Jesse James, the actress signs onto action-comedy, “Most Wanted” which she will reunite with Ryan Reynolds. Sandra and Ryan last starred in, “The Proposal” together.

More on it here:

I still haven’t seen the “Blind Side” yet. I’ll wait for the film to be shown on HBO ’cause honestly, I’m not a fan of Sandra’s acting. I do feel bad for her drama with that douche, Jesse James though. I’ll give her that.

Anonymity and trolls..

I have been a frequent target of anonymity and trolls online for quite a while. I usually ignore that stuff and laugh it off, ’cause I find it amusing how people with too much time on their hands would waste all that time being obsessed talking shit about me. Making stuff up about me that’s not even true and all that crazy stuff. The thing is some people think they can do all that stuff and get away with it. If people want to bash and hate me that’s fine. I can’t please every single human being on this planet. Just my 2 cents, as long as people are using my full name publicly, it gives me the right to respond and to take action. If you bash someone using the person’s full name, the person you are bashing is in control. They think they have the right to do this, but the truth is, they don’t.

I learned from my own mistakes bashing people by full name, so I no longer do that anymore. The truth is, I don’t give a crap what people think or say about me. I’m being me, and will continue to be me. Some people are mad, ’cause they know my life is better than theirs and they probably don’t have much going on. I work a day job, I do bodybuilding/fitness, play guitar, have supportive friends/family, etc. Yep, I’m all good and happy. I’m a pretty strong guy and I don’t let silly things such as this bring me down.

I’m actually getting kind of bored of blogging. As you can tell, I’m blogging, less and less, ’cause I find other things to do other than hanging on the computer. I just wish certain people would do the same.

Cool Video: Eminem’s new video, “Not Afraid” is just a great song!!!

1 Comment

I’m mostly into rock, metal and some country, but yeah, I can listen to some rap like I always say. As some of you may or may not know, Eminem, is one of my favorite rap artists. Always loved his music. The real slim shady that we “used to know” is back with a hit song that we can actually listen to. “Not Afraid” is actually a pretty sick song and tight. I love it a LOT! Really enjoyed the beat, the melody, and the rapping is actually quite good. Em’s last album, “Relapse” was pretty good, I enoyed it, but with his new song, “Not Afraid”, he returns to his roots. His old classic sound that he had back in the 90’s.

Listen here for yourself and you would see what I mean. I’m gonna get the new album. I like Eminem. Yes, I did see him live in concert once. Most rap music is crap, but you can’t deny that Eminem is a talented rapper, love him or hate him.

True Crime

Report: Stacy Peterson getting close to being found????

Leave a comment

Well it looks like Stacy Peterson maybe found very soon. It looks like the Peoria police is getting close to finding her body using search dogs. Of course, Peterson and his attorney called it ridiculous and gossip. Still maintaining Peterson’s innocence like always.

More on the story here:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/06/05/following-new-lead-illinois-authorities-dig-body-stacy-peterson/

Well, it would be evidence if THEY DO find Stacy’s body buried there. If they find her body there this week, that would be amazing. I predict they WILL find her. Like everyone else, I always knew Drew Peterson killer her. Lets hope and pray they do find her body, so Drew can rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life. He is a cold blooded evil monster.

Thought: Woody Harrelson should play the Riddler in Batman 3 if the Riddler is picked…

Leave a comment

If The Riddler is picked as the main villain for “Batman 3”, I think Woody Harrelson would be the perfect choice of actor to play the character. Woody looks almost exactly like Frank Gorshin from the TV series. Woody’s got the same look as the Riddler character, he’s got a great enough speaking voice for the character. I’m pretty sure Woody can laugh like the Riddler perfectly. Woody’s the perfect fit for the Riddler role, in my opinion.

As for who should play other Batman villains, another actor I can think of that could play the Penguin is Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was actually rumoured to play the character years back but he denied it. Phillip is short and fat like the Penguin. Either him or Jack Black would be great for the Penguin.

As for the Catwoman, I know they won’t get Halle Berry, but lets hope Nolan doesn’t have her in mind. Honestly, Angelina Jolie might be great for Catwoman. Maybe Kate Winslet or Hillary Swank.

They need an actor who can play the villain with great acting chops, much like Heath Ledger’s Joker. I’m pretty sure Nolan won’t fail on the casting for the villain for Batman 3. He’s great at what he does.

Report: Christopher Nolan confirms no Joker in Batman 3, plus other Batman/Superman news…

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan finally speaks on his projects with “Batman” and “Superman” to Empire magazine. Chris says the Joker will not be the next villain ’cause he feels it’s wrong for Heath Ledger to be replaced. While he didn’t reaveal any villains for “Batman 3” yet, he did say, however, that the Penguin and Mr. Freeze could possibly be the next two villains for the next flick. Chris also says he didn’t officially sign on to direct “Batman 3” yet, because his only focus is working on the new movie, “Inception” that stars Leonardo Dicaprio. Chris is only mentoring, “Batman 3” and “Superman”.

As for Superman, Nolan didn’t speak much about it, but he says, the next Superman movie will not be a DC styled superhero like film. Nolan confirms David Goyer is writing the new Superman script, and Nolan says he will not direct the Superman movie. Nolan says he will try to help Warner Brothers find a different director with the right fit. Again, Nolan refuses to say who the villains will be for the next “Superman” movie.

More on it here:

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/17419/nolan-talks-superman-batman–

I’m sure, Nolan and the writers already have villains planned out for both films, they don’t want to reveal them publicly until the time is right. Just like they did with Heath Ledger’s Joker for “The Dark Knight”.

If you think about it, using Penguin for the next Batman movie would be a good idea ’cause I didn’t like the Danny Devito Penguin in “Batman: Returns”. The Penguin role needs to be done right. How are they going to find a  short and fat actor for the Penguin? Not many actors like that these days. Danny Devito would be too old to play the Penguin so I don’t see him reprising the role. If anything, one actor I can think of on who can play the Penguin is no one other than Jack Black, he is pretty short guy and overweight so he might be the right guy. I’m sure Jack Black can do the Penguin voice very well.

As for the villain for “Superman”, my pick is still Brainiac. Although I must say Terence Stamp returning as an aging General Zod would be badass though…

The Deadlift really is the king of all workouts…

1 Comment

This article explains the deadlift really nicely:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson101.htm

It not only works the lower body of your legs, and the workout also works most of your upper body as well. When I tried this workout at the gym yesterday, I could feel it in most body parts explained in that article. My legs still feel kind of weird walking around. My shoulders and traps feel a little bit of it too. I took a day off from doing back workouts today ’cause the deadlift works most of your back anyways. Yes, the deadlift pretty much works out your whole body in one set. I plan to do this exercise more often.

Thought: “The Expendables”, the male version of “Sex and the City”???

Leave a comment

“Sex and the City” is mostly known for women, so I guess you can say that, “The Expendables” is a movie for guys only. To be honest, “The Expendables” movie, and “Sex and the City” both seem to be similar in some way. Except for a different audience. “Sex and the City” is about women wanting to make their sex lives better while “The Expendables” is about muscle dudes wanting to fight and kick some asses.

“The Expendables” will only have a male audience, basically, a male audience of the younger generation from high school to college years. I doubt a lot of women would see, “The Expendables”. “Sex and the City” is an audience of mostly young women. Get my point? I look forward to seeing “The Expendables”, don’t get me wrong, but honestly, I’m more excited to the “A-Team” movie.

Oh and the reason I turned down, “Sex and the City 2” to wait for DVD instead was that I wasn’t in the mood to watch a comedy. I wanted to watch an action film, so I had a choice between, “Prince of Persia” or “Robin Hood”. So I obviously picked, “Robin Hood”. Although, I’ll admit that I would feel a little weird watching, “Sex and the City 2” in theater which can wait for DVD.

Dead Lift and Hack Squat

1 Comment

So, I’m already on the move of changing my workout routines around some. Starting to get bored of using the same machines for the legs and studying some barbell stuff. This morning I studied “Dead Lift” and the “Hack Squat” both on barbells. Read about them online to study the position and the movements. Then I tried them at the gym using a barbell without weights at first, using a mirror to make sure I’m doing it right. Then once I get the hang of it, I lifted about 75 lbs for both workouts. Not too heavy, it was still pretty light for me anyways. The “Dead Lift” is for the hamstrings and other lower/upper bodyparts, the “Hack Squat” is for quads and other parts. Both workouts were pretty brutal. Doing barbell stuff is way better than the machines. You can feel the burn. I’ll lift light for now, I don’t want to rush into lifting too heavy yet. I didn’t need a spotter for these workouts, ’cause they were really simple to do.

I’m trying to vary my workouts. Doing different exercises is good for the body. You won’t get better results by doing the same exercises and lifting the same weights all the time.

I do miss performing and playing on stage…

Leave a comment

Believe it or not, I do have quite the fan following for my music. I had people come out to my past gigs because of my blog sites. I want to get back into performing again in the future. I took a hiatus from it, to get into fitness and hoping to write a new batch of songs which is what I’m still trying to do. Improve my guitar playing as well. Will even try to get a band going. Don’t ever think that I’m giving up music for good ’cause I will never give up. Never throw away your passions and dreams, no matter the situation. I will get back out to playing gigs again hopefully. When I write new songs that I’m proud of playing out, who knows, maybe I’ll start booking. Being on stage is a good time.
