I'm a musician, singer/songwriter, blogger, writer, poet, bodybuilder, movie lover, music lover, video gamer, history/political buff, conservative/republican, etc. I like to do a lot of things.

Muscle and Fitness magazine, consider me a subscriber soon!!!

I’ve been reading a lot of “Muscle and Fitness” magazine lately, been buying the issues from the store, now I think I’m going to subscribe. In this month’s issue, has Triple H on the cover.

In this issue, has quite several articles on eating the right foods and taking the right supplements to burn fat, and gain muscle.

In bodybuilding, you don’t really need to plan out a strict nutrition regimen. All your body needs is plenty of protein. Staying away from junk food and eating mostly healthy food for the rest of your life.

Even the magazine says it’s okay to eat junk food once in a while because it’s still important to put some calories in you if you want to get bigger and stronger as well.

To get bigger and stronger, you have to eat a lot. Get any kind of foods that has high protein as much as possible and eating foods with low calories.

Lately, I’ve been staying away from junk food a lot more often. I’ve been eating fruits more often as a snack like bananas, grapefruit, apples. I’ll eat junky snacks for fun only on the weekends now ’cause sometimes I’ll want to eat ice cream and cookies like everybody out there.

Taking in lots of protein helps make the muscle grow a lot faster. M&F magazine recommends “Whey Protein”, I think they call it. I might actually look into “Whey Protein”.

I don’t need a profesional certified trainer to train me like I said before. Trainers are uneccessary, in my opinion. Just teach yourself to train. I’ve been teaching myself bodybuilding by doing a lot of researching and reading.

I don’t plan to become a certified trainer to help other people as a career, that’s not my goal. My goal is to get bigger and stronger, get that bigger physical look like those action movie stars and wrestlers that I look after. I find Fitness as a way to make me a happier person and it’s working. It’s also my way of proving people wrong that I can be a physical person.

The main rule in fitness, just don’t overtrain yourself to death, that won’t give you the results you want. It’s a fact that bodybuilders don’t really train all that much as you think. Most train for 3 to 4 days a week and train for an hour or two for each of those days. You need a few days off rest. You can do bodyweight exercises and cardio every day if you want though, just don’t lift weights every day.

M&F magazine is really good resource and that magazine is part of where I get all the stuff I learn from.

Thought: Dana White is a big hypocrite, self absorbed, and egostitical…

Isn’t it hilarious that Dana White calls Brock Lesnar’s after match antics unprofesional, offensive and horrifying? Yeah, it’s pretty hilarious. This is coming from the same guy who bashed the hell out of Loretta Hunt, the Sherdog reporter, Dana calling her a bitch and calling men, the “F” gay slur word. Dana apologized for the “gay slur” but he never apologized to Loretta Hunt or Sherdog.

Before calling another UFC fighter, unprofesional, maybe Dana White should re-watch his video blog with him bashing that woman.

This proves that Brock Lesnar is the ultimate UFC heel. Even if he pisses off the boss, that proves that Lesnar is the best UFC heel. Sure, most UFC fighters talk a lot of trash but not as good as Brock Lesnar did it after that one match.

The only reason Brock apologized to everyone, was so that he wouldn’t get fired from UFC.

Dana White is just like Vince McMahon in so many ways.

Top 5 Movies that Sly Stallone would have been great in the leading role…

Over the years in Sly’s career, he has made some mistakes choosing roles, and the man even admitted that his film career almost failed plenty of times. It’s a good thing, he brought back “Rocky” and “Rambo” to bring his career back on track. With the “Expendables” coming out soon, that movie will be even bigger.

Here are five films that I wish Sly would have done with him in the leading role:

1. Taken

(Liam Neeson was great and he delivered the movie, but an action movie like this would have been perfect for Sly…I can definitely see Sly in the leading role in this)

2. Death Sentence

(An action thriller that starred Kevin Bacon, about the revenge of his murdered son. Sly would have been great in this one too…)

3. The Wrestler

(Mickey Rourke, was great in this, don’t get me wrong, but I think Sly would have perfected the movie. Darren Aronofsky wanted Sly for this but Sly was too busy working on the new “Rocky” and “Rambo” at the time…Sly played in a movie about wrestling before, it was his directorial debut, “Paradise Alley”…)

4. Tarantino’s “Death Proof”

(Man, I can see Sly playing Kurt Russell’s villain character, Stuntman Mike, in this flick. Russell was a badass in this flick, but Sly would have made an even more badass if he was in this)

5. American Gangster

(The mobster movie that starred Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Russell was okay in this movie, but I can definitely see Sly Stallone in this flick instead of Russell Crowe. I’ve always wanted to see Sly and Denzel in a movie together, maybe one day it will actually happen)

Report: Tim Burton to debut “Alice In Wonderland” semi trailer at San Diego Comic Con next week!

Tim Burton will be making a special appearance, live in person, at the San Diego Comic Con next week to present a semi trailer for “Alice In Wonderland”. He never appeared at these Comic Con conventions before, this will be his first time.

Burton also breaks the news that he is planning a sequel to “Alice In Wonderland” as to follow Lewis Carroll’s series of the Alice adventures.

Once Burton is at San Diego Comic Con next week, expect bootleg versions of “Alice In Wonderland” footage to hit youtube very quickly.

No word if Johnny Depp will go with Burton at the Comic Con appearance, but who knows. These Comic Con events are always unpredictable and they are always giving out surprises, so maybe Burton will surprise us by inviting Johnny with him. Cross our fingers?

Very cool. Tim Burton is the man, one of my favorite directors. I’m really looking forward to his take on the world’s famous “Alice” story.

Thought: Dana White should bring back Chuck Liddell for one last match against Brock Lesnar…

If there is any other UFC Fighter that I could see take the title away from Brock, I think Dana should bring back the Iceman Chuck Liddell for another match. I don’t think Chuck and Brock ever fought in the Octagon before. If they already did, then my bad.

Brock vs. The Iceman would have been a good match though.

I’m sure Dana will let Chuck Liddell go for a comeback at some point, but maybe not this soon.

Chuck Liddell is not yet officially retired from MMA/UFC. He has one more match on his contract. The man said so himself. I think he should save that last match against Brock for the Heavyweight title.

Chuck Liddell was one of the reasons I started watching UFC, he’s been a favorite fighter of mine for a long time too.

During his time away from UFC, he’s been training other fighters and training himself as well to keep himself busy.

I’m sure the Iceman will come back to UFC to fight another match, down the road. Just not this soon. I don’t see Chuck being gone for good.

If Randy Couture came out of retirement and took the Heavyweight title, Chuck can do the same.

Thought: Madge continues to be a stupid bitch like she’s always been…

Sorry about the  word “bitch” in the title of this thread but I’m really starting to dislike Madonna very much, that I had to put it there. Two people has died at the stage collapse in France, and she claims she’s devastated and heartbroken about it.

More on it here:

http://www.nme.com/news/madonna/46156#comments

In the video below, Madonna pays tribute to the people that died. I don’t see how she’s devastated and heartbroken at all. If she really was, then she would have postponed those tour dates to help mourn with those families of those two dead people, but nope, she doesn’t do that. She’s all about herself and her music.

Why does Michael Jackson die and she’s still around?

This game is supposed to have never ending sandbox gameplay like Grand Theft Auto, looking forward to this one…)

Thought: Giving Guns N’ Roses haters a reality check, about Kevin Cogill the “Chinese Democracy” leaker getting busted…

So Kevin Cogill the “Chinese Democracy” leaker, got some probation time and house arrest for leaking some of the new songs on his blog. In other music blogs and message forums, readers are calling Axl Rose a prick for this. Most readers are on Kevin Cogill’s side. Thinking there is freedom of speech and the 1st amendment, that Kevin Cogill had all the right to do this.

Correction: You’re wrong.

If you read the back of the album covers, take any CD. Look at the back of it, there you’ll see a huge “FBI Piracy Warning”…under it will say “”Unauthorized copying is punishable by Federal law”. Get the hint of the word Federal. This is why Kevin was sent to a Federal trial because he broke a Federal law by uploading unreleased tracks to his blog without Axl Rose’s unauthorized permission and consent.

You must understand copyright infrigement and piracy.

Is Axl a dick for this? I certainly think he is for sure, but if you use a little common sense…this is Axl Rose’s right to do this. Axl is in the right. It’s his copyrighted music. If he created it, and it is copyritten/trademarked. Axl has the right to force legal action.

People out there have to learn that it is not okay to take people’s music without unauthorized permission. That’s what Kevin Cogill did, he needs to suffer consequences for it by Federal Law. Kevin didn’t think it was illegal, now he knows.

Whether you like “Chinese Democracy” or not, Kevin didn’t have the right to upload those tracks before the album’s release date. It is stealing.

Respect the artist’s music that they own. People don’t understand copyright and don’t understand how it works, that’s why they are all shitting on Axl for it. I’m on Axl’s side for this because if my music was stolen without my unauthorized permission, I would force legal action myself. No musician or band likes getting their music stolen so some internet blogger can release it early. Respect the copyright and respect the trademarks of an artists work.

Kevin Cogill certainly got what he deserved.
