Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley this weekend…on HBO PPV…

3 Comments

So Floyd Mayweather Jr., the undefeated boxing icon, has another PPV fight this Saturday night. I am not watching. Why? Simply because everybody knows Floyd Mayweather is going to win. I hate Floyd Mayweather Jr., like a lot of people. He’s an egomaniac. He’s an asshole as well, much like Tito Ortiz. Floyd Mayweather Jr., thinks he’s the best fighter in the boxing industry. I disagree, I personally think Floyd Jr., is possibly one of the worst and lousiest boxers I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen him box on TV a few times, and he’s clearly a cheater. Floyd Jr. is washed up. He WILL NEVER BE in “Iron” Mike Tyson’s league if that’s who he is trying to be.

I know Tyson is old and he is retired obviously, but if Floyd Mayweather Jr. was around boxing around Tyson’s time back then, Mike Tyson would put his undefeated streak to an end.

I don’t think Shane Mosley would beat Floyd Jr. this weekend. If Shane actually wins either split decision, TKO or KO, that would be surprising…but you know Floyd is going to get it. Altough I won’t be getting HBO Boxing ppv this weekend, I’ll probably read the reports online to see who won. I enjoy professional boxing too, I just don’t watch it as much. I’m more into wrestling and UFC.

Floyd Jr. is not a good fighter that he thinks he is. He cheats his way through it. He won by mostly split decisions and TKO’s in his career record, he only won a few knockouts, that’s it. If he won by mostly KO’s in his record, that would be impressive…but…if his record is mostly split decisions and KO’s, not very good. Floyd Jr.’s undefeated streak will come to an end someday. There will be a boxer out there somewhere that will knock him out in one round. Whenever Floyd Jr. loses a fight, that will make sports history, indeed. Lets pray it happens. I wish Shane luck but I don’t think he’s gonna beat Floyd Jr. and I think everyone else would agree.

Tito Ortiz vs. Jenna Jameson thoughts…

Leave a comment

So now Tito Ortiz, the UFC fighter, is turning out to be a woman beater. Which is no surprise to me. The guy’s a prick, even the UFC fans know it. It was only a matter of time that he was going to hurt Jenna one day and he actually did it. She maybe addicted to Oxycontin or whatever drugs she was on, yes, but that’s still no excuse to hit a woman. No matter how much a woman pisses you off, I agree, that women can be annoying and can drive you mad, but never lay a hand on her. I hope Tito gets the punishment he deserves with the full extent of the law. Of course, I have this feeling the asshole is going to walk. No wonder Chuck Lidell hates this guy so much, now I see why. You know Chuck the Iceman will have a lot to say about this and looking forward to hearing his words.

Leave a comment

Actor, Cary Elwes, will be reprising his role as Dr. Gordon in the upcoming “Saw VII”. Cary Elwes was only in the first Saw movie which also starred, Danny Glover. Cary will be returning to “Saw VII” to play one of the leading roles.

I’m not much of a Saw fan. I loved the first one a lot though, I just didn’t like any of the other ones. As long as Cary’s coming back, I’ll go see it. He’s a great actor and very underrated too. Don’t know who Cary Elwes is? You might remember him as Wesley, the man in black, from the “Princess Bride” movie, and he was also in “Shadow of the Vampire”.

Man, how fuckin’ awesome is this! Just proves that Hugh Hefner really is a great guy and he actually cares for other things. Not just himself. He actually spent the last of $900,000 needed to save the Hollywood sign straight from his own pockets.

Way to go, Hugh! Big respects on this one, pal! 🙂

Cool Video: M.I.A. releases new song and new video titled, “Born Free” (Warning: this video is R-rated)

1 Comment

One of my favorite artists, M.I.A., is finally back from her hiatus. She is finally releasing a new album this June. She also released her first single titled, “Born Free” and uploaded the video exclusively on her official website.

Before you watch this, you must be aware that this video is very graphic with violence. It also has strong sexual content. It’s a pretty intense video and fits well with the song.

The film is directed by a guy named, Romain Gavras. You will see SWAT police officers, barging into this apartment building taking people and arresting them violently. You will see drug use and a fat couple fuckin’ each other in bed. Nudity and all. The video will even get far as murdering children by blowing their heads off with a gun. It’s pretty intense and brutal stuff.

What is the message M.I.A. sending through this video? It’s definitely political, indeed. Is it about drug bust? Illegal immigration? Cops gone evil? Note sure. I don’t understand either.

It is a great song though. I’ve always loved M.I.A. Her music is very powerful. I think she’s way better than Lady Gaga. I’m a huge M.I.A. fan and can’t wait for her new album!

Enjoy the video here:

Edit to add: Notice all the young people that the police kidnapped? They’re all redheads. The bus drives by a picture with three red head army guys holding their hands up in the air. What do they have against redheaded people? What is this? Very strange video. Not sure what the message is.

Edit to add part 2: Oh I get it now. Watching the video again, the reason the cops have busted on those redhead people is because those three painted kids on the wall there, they must of used to be in the army. Now they are a militia. Notice, the two red headed kids hiding around the corner as the SWAT bus is driving away, wearing a red bandana around their mouth looking like a militia or a gang, then they come out throwing rocks at ’em or something. It has to do something with that. The redheads want their freedom, like the title says “Born Free”. That’s why the kids are young in the video.

I am worried about Bret Michaels like everyone else…

Leave a comment

Bret Michaels, being in the hospital again for something serious sent a huge scare through everyone in the world. Why should we worry about a famous person to someone we don’t even know? Not only that he’s a rock n’ roll legend and help changed the music industry in the 80’s, another reason people worry about him is all these rock star deaths we’ve been having as of late. People worry because he could be next.

Again I was never a fan of Poison but I respect them for the success they achieved. In my understanding, the band is still together. Bret still plays with Poison in occassional tours.

I wonder what this means for his appearance on “Celebrity Apprentice”? I’m sure the show still have a few more episodes of his to air, but Bret haven’t been fired from the show yet. So he’s still on. Not sure what NBC and Donald Trump would do with him for the show, but I’m sure we’ll hear something soon. It’s great to see The Donald actually cares for Bret, even though Trump gave Bret a difficult time on the show.

I hope Bret survives too. It’s a sad thing what he’s going through.

Report: Paul Weller slams Myspace and facebook…

Leave a comment

Paul Weller, who is the former frontman of the UK punk rock band, The Jam, has slammed social networking sites, Myspace and Facebook.

Click here to read his words:

http://www.nme.com/news/paul-weller/50811

The user comments in that article, the NME readers, has responded. Slamming Paul Weller in return. It’s like music fans can’t take his opinion. The truth maybe harsh, but I’m gonna say, that the man actually brings up some valid points.

When he tells you to “go down to a pub” what he really means, is that he wants people to do more productive things than hang in social networking sites. When he says to the guy at his show, “This is myspace and you’re invading it”. That means that Paul Weller likes to keep his life private instead of making it public on social networking sites.

You’ll have to admit that Paul is so right on what he says. Back in the 50’s-80’s, there was no such thing as the internet. It made it hard to promote music back in the old days. Now it seems that the rich & famous, the mainstream of media fame has taken over social networking sites. Real celebrities and real bands using myspace/facebook (also twitter) to promote their careers. I’ll have to agree with him that myspace/facebook is what makes this world a sad society.

How I did it…the body…

1 Comment

Like I said, nutrition is key to getting ripped. Just simply avoided anything with high sugars and high fructose corn syrup. Yep, I gave up soda completely now. Just ate more fruits, vegetables. Eating more fish than anything (I eat various other meats like steak and chicken) and all I eat for breakfast everyday is eggs. For bread and english muffins, all of those are whole grains now. Real whole grains without the high fructose corn syrup. For a snack, I would go for fruit, Chobani Greek Yogurt and a Whey Protein drink. I’m still studying nutrition too. When I read stuff about nutrition from the fitness magazines or online, I’ll write stuff down to get them from the store when I go shopping. I’m very careful of what I eat or drink now. I keep a strict nutrition during the week and on weekends I’ll have fun and eat a cheat or two. It’s mostly ice cream is one of my cheats.

If you can keep a strict nutrition, then you’ll be on your way to a jacked body in no time. No need to use those expensive and fancy supplements you get from GNC. All you need is Whey Protein. I never used any supplements. Well Whey Protein is a supplement somewhat, but a lot of fitness people considered it food. So it’s not really an actual supplement.

If I can do it, so can everyone. I’m not an overweight person, which is why it took me a short time to get a fit body.

Report: Sly Stallone auditioned for the “Superman” role?

Leave a comment

Here is a shocker for you. In the late 1970’s when Warner Bros, was just getting “Superman: The Movie” off the ground and auditioning actors to play the Superman/Clark Kent role there are some suprising names that came up who auditioned for Superman. Ilys Salkind speaks at the Wizard World Comic Con in Anaheim, during his speech he speaks everything about Superman. He talked about the actors who auditioned for the original Superman. Surprising names that came up who auditioned for the role were Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford, and James Caan.

Who else was in that list? Yes, that’s right. Sylvester Stallone was considered for the role, but Warner Bros. turned him down and the Superman role obviously went to Christopher Reeve instead. Sly has talked about auditioning for Superman in his interviews before, so this is true.

Sly does seem to be a fan of comics and superhero’s as Sly was in a superhero comic book film once, and that is “Judge Dredd”. Will Sly ever play in another superhero movie ever again? Likely not. I don’t see Sly acting in other movies anytime soon. It looks like he wants to concentrate on acting in his own movies that he directs from now on.

If you think about it, Sly wouldn’t make a bad Superman at all. If you’ve seen Sly in the movie “Tango & Cash”, where’s he’s seen wearing a suit and glasses like Clark Kent, Sly reminded me of Clark Kent in that film.
