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.

I can’t wait for M.I.A. videos at Coachella 2009…

Rapper, M.I.A., is scheduled to hit the Coachella stage sometime today, when youtube videos of her performances go up, I’ll post them here.

I’m not into rap music much, but I like a few rap artists.

Honestly, I find M.I.A. a beautifully talented artist. She’s one of the better pop and rap artists out there. I really dig her song, “Paper Planes”, I may actually pick up her CD sometime. I’ll be on the lookout for her Coachella stuff.

Report: Stevie Nicks says computers and cell phones has destroyed the social life of people…and I agree with her…

Fleetwood Mac’s front woman, Stevie Nicks, finally opens up on why she never uses a computer or a cell phone to keep in touch with people.

Check it out here:

I agree with her totally. Before anyone calls her delusional and she shouldn’t be bashing the internet, you have to stop and think, and admit that she is 100% right.

Before the internet came around when I was a kid, there were TV, movies, video games, listening to music or better, doing outdoors activities. When the internet came around, that pretty much destroyed all that. Everyone became so addicted to the internet, even myself when it first came around.

I’m doing my very best to kick my internet addiction habit, by doing other things ’cause you notice that my blog slows down with posts more often. I’m hoping getting into exercise and fitness will help get me away from the computer more often as well.

It’s sad that the internet has taken over the world. These days that’s all certain people out there really do, they sit at the computer, 24/7, some people think the internet is their life.

And about using cell phones, black berry’s and all that technical shit, I don’t have any of that. I know cell phones are popular, and everyone I see has one, but I think I’m one of the very few that don’t. I actually despise cell phones and don’t ever plan on buying one. I would want my privacy, don’t you? Doesn’t it get annoying to having the phone ring on ya everywhere you go? Doesn’t it get annoying that when you’re talking to someone in person out in public and then the cell phone rings? If you’re bothered by all that, then why have one?

Some people may think cell phones may come in handy, but in my opinion, they are a fuckin’ waste of time. If I wanted to talk on the phone, I would use a regular home phone, not a cell phone. If people wanted to talk to me, leave me messages on the home phone, not send me messages everywhere I go.

This is why I don’t own a cell phone and don’t plan on getting one ever. I don’t even like it when other people own one ’cause it annoys me when some musical ringtone goes off and yep, it’s the cell phone ringing.

I kind of miss the old days when there were no cell phones and no internet.

Thought: Why are people obsessed with wanting to get fit?

Men and women all over the world wanting to get fit, ripped, and buffed on their bodies are on the rise these days. Fitness has become more popular and mainstream than ever.

Why are people obsessed with it? I can think of ten reasons:

  1. People want to feel more confident and look better when they’re half naked in public.
  2. Hot sex with their lovers.
  3. They want to feel attracted by other people.
  4. They want to join some type of fighting sport like boxing, martial arts or wrestling.
  5. They want to join the Army, Navy, Marines, etc.
  6. They do it for their own ego, in other words, they just want more attention.
  7. They do it to feel more happier and energetic, it’s a good way to get rid of stress and depression.
  8. They want to live a long and healthy life.
  9. They want to join a non fighting sport like baseball, football, hockey, golf, etc.
  10. They enjoy it and are addicted to it.

I guess everyone has their own reasons they do it, but I believe these 10 reasons are the most popular. I am no health and fitness expert just yet, but am learning and getting into it. I’ll put up a new topic section about it.

Cool Video: Funny UFC videoblog…

New UFC videoblog. I love watching these things. Behind the scenes stuff of UFC. In that one videoblog with Dana White ranting about Loretta Hunt, Dana may seem like a guy with a short temper but in reality, he seems like a good dude. Dana seems like he’s happy all the time, always smiling and stuff, except for that one video about Loretta Hunt, was  the only time I’ve seen him out of character.

This video gives you a preview of the new UFC video game and Dana is playing the video game himself. This is a cool videoblog with lots of laughs and humor.

Check it out.

This is no longer a local music blog…

Over the years, I like to use my blogs to rant about the local music scene. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, that I don’t think I’m going to do it anymore. From this point on, I’m going to use this blog for national news and to plug in my own music only. I’m probably going to start removing all Local music posts soon. I’m done with the kiddie games, done with the immaturity around this area, and done with wannabe profesionals which they are really amatuers.

Plus, the main reason, is that I don’t go out to local shows and don’t really support other bands that I don’t see any point in blogging about local music anymore. The area of local music still have some good bands and solo artists that I like around here, don’t get me wrong…this area needs to be more profesional and more adult acting but of course, it’s never going to change. It will always be the same. Stop wasting too much time in myspace bands and concentrate on the music. Of course, you’re never going to do that.

It’s been fun blogging about local music, but since I retired from playing live shows in the music scene, retiring from blogging about local music needs to go along with it. I just realized that. Also many people around the world that read my blog won’t even understand what I’m talking about in local music since they don’t live here, that’s another reason.

I will concentrate on blogging about movies, national music, and other forms of entertainment news. My goal with “Brock N’ Roll Entertainment” is to hopefully grab the attention of the entertainment industry on my blog and that’s slowly starting to happen since UMG wrote to me asking me to promote a famous band.

It’s not about the fame with my blog, I don’t care about that, this is just a hobby, but I’m just like everyone else, promoting things to the masses and marketing as much as possible. I plan to have a domain name with this blog very soon, I’m just trying to shop for an affordable price for a domain name for this site.

Thanks and keep on reading. Comments closed in this entry ’cause I just wanted to point this out.

EDIT To add: There, all local music and anything with NY Local news are off, it only took me a few quick minutes to delete a lot of those posts. I love wordpress! This blog is staying up of course, I’m just going to concentrate on blogging about national entertainment news from this point on.

Btw, the Joe Montepare Jr. – RIP post is moved to the celebrity/musician deaths section. I wanted to keep that one up.
