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.

Just picked up “Guitar Hero:Metallica” today…

Today, I just picked up, “Guitar Hero: Metallica” from Best Buy. Haven’t tried it yet, just got it. I will start playing the game tonight to see how it is. I’m sure the game will be a lot of fun.

I also picked up, “Slumdog Millionaire”, and “Marley & Me” on DVD as well.

I did see the new John Cena movie, “12 Rounds”. I decided to see that instead of “Fast and Furious”. Review of “12 Rounds” coming later tonight!

BREAKING NEWS: Craigslist killer, Michael Anderson, sentenced to prison for life for murdering woman…

I have been following the trial of Michael Anderson story, the craigslist killer who lured a young woman to his home posing under the name of Amy looking for a babysitter in the “help wanted” sections of craigslist. I didn’t want to post anything in my blog about this case until the verdict. Well the verdict is read, and this 20 year old guy, Michael Anderson has been found guilty and sentenced to life. He posed under a fake woman named Amy, hoping he would get sex from this young woman name Katherine Olson, who’s only 24 years old. He shot her in the back and hid her body in the trunk of her car.

More on it here:

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/04/02/a-life-sentence-for-craigslist-killer/

So an Illinois Sheriff sues craigslist a Federal lawsuit for promoting prostitution and now a young woman gets murdered?

Just more reasons that craigslist deserves to get shut down and be taken off the internet permanently.

Craigslist is not a safe site, peeps. Just a word of advice for you women in the Capital District or all over this world, don’t use craigslist to hook up a date. Most men in that site are looking for a good fuck, end of story.

It is definitely not a safe website to meet people. The reason craigslist is an easy target for criminals is because it’s free and anonymous. Criminals think they can get away with crimes by visiting that website.

Another 2cents of advice for the women, never use the internet to look for a babysitter. If you want a babysitter for your child, only hire someone you know really well and can trust.

A life sentence is what this asshole needs.

I think it’s time for the public to go on an all out war against craigslist and protest to get that site taken off online. The Illinois Sheriff already started that.

Report: Booker T is pissed at WWE and is planning on suing them…why? Read here to find out…

Former WWE and WCW star, Booker T, has some negative grudge against WWE, he also currently works for TNA. He wrote an open letter to all fans of the wrestling world letting the public know that he is planning on suing the WWE.

Why?

He’s upset that Vince and the WWE pulled 8 wrestlers who are scheduled to participate at Booker T’s “Legends of Wrestling Fanfest” so they can be part of Wrestlemania weekend this year. Booker T claims they did a stupid move, and is considering legal action against the WWE company.

Read Booker T’s letter here:

As you can see, Wrestlemania 25 is taken place in Houston, Texas this weekend.

Since Booker T’s “Legends of Wrestling Fanfest” show is full of wrestling legends does this mean that more legendary wrestlers will interfere the “Chris Jericho vs. The Legends” match? Will there be more legends being in action against Chris Jericho than the three already booked? Is this why WWE pulled 8 legends out of Booker T’s show? Things to think about there.

John Stamos’s run with “ER” is just about over, the last episode airs tonight on NBC at 8 p.m. So you may ask, what’s next for John Stamos, after “ER”? He is set to star in a play titled, “Bye Bye Birdie”. Gina Gershon is also set to star.

Stamos will be playing a character originated by the Dick Van Dyke film of “Bye Bye Birdie” released in 1963. Stamos will get the opportunity to bring his famous Elvis like musical dream to the big stage.

Will Stamos get on a new TV show or will he get movie roles in the future? I don’t know. Here’s hoping he would. I hope he doesn’t stick with theatre but if that’s what he wants to do for a while, until he gets more work for TV or movies, that’s cool.

Report: Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, and Marion Cotillard in talks to join Christopher Nolan’s next film, “Inception”…

Three stars are in negotiations with Christopher Nolan to join his next film, “Inception”, a sci fi action adventure that stars Leonardo Dicaprio in the leading role. Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy and Marion Cotillard are in talks of joining the cast.

Those would know Ellen Page from her movie “Juno”. Cillian Murphy played the Scarecrow villain in “Batman: Begins”, and Marion Cotillard is not a very well known actress, she’s a French actress that mostly stars in French movies, but she is set to star in the American action movie, “Public Enemies”, that stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Billy Crudup.

Well, look like Cillian Murphy is the first he took from the Batman cast. Who’s next? Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman?

The Listening Room: Hear Neil Young’s “Fork In the Road” album in it’s entirety in myspace!!!

Neil Young is letting the public hear his new studio album, “Fork In the Road” in it’s entirety before release date April 7th in his myspace page.

I just listened to the whole thing this morning, I think it’s absolutely fucking amazing!!!! It’s Neil Young’s best since “Living With War”. There’s not one mellow and slow song on this album. It’s very much very tight and energetic electric guitar driven rock throughout the entire album. The vocal melodies are very impressive. Great job Neil.

I’m definitely picking up this album…hear it here:

New game to add to my wishlist: “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood”…

The video game industry does not make western and cowboy games that much, and they are finally releasing a new one. This one is called, “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood”, it’s a first person shooter. I’ve been reading early reviews of this game, and seeing the trailers, and I grew a lot of interest in this game. This game looks pretty sweet and looks a lot of fun to play.

There’s quite a few other video games coming out this year, that I’m anticipating to really get, games like: “Ghostbusters:  The Videogame”, “Batman: Arkhum Asylum”, “UFC 09” and now “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood” has been added to this list.

I think tomorrow, I will go to the mall to go see “Fast and Furious”, and then pick up the “Guitar Hero: Metallica” game.

“Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood” hits video game stores everywhere May 26, it’s being released for the PC/CDROM, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Thought: Dave Batista return at Wrestlemania this weekend? Will the Animal interfere the Triple H vs. Randy Orton match?

Rumours swirling the webs, that “The Animal” Dave Batista might return to WWE soon this year, he is clear from his injury to come back. Dave said in an interview once that he might have a match at Wrestlemania this Sunday but don’t know if he’ll be back in time for a storyline for it. Could he make his return at Wrestlemania 25 this Sunday? If he did, then it would make sense if he interfered the, ‘Triple H vs. Randy Orton” match. As you wrestling fans may already know, Batista has lots of history with Orton. As all three were in the group, Evolution, with Ric Flair in the past.

I would like to see a Batista comeback. The “Triple H. vs Randy Orton” match may not get any interferences at all, and they just wrestle clean. We’ll just have to wait this Sunday to find out.

Report: “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” leaks online before the movie comes out, FOX aims to destroy who ever leaked it…

Oh my. Twentieth Century Fox’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” which is a spin off movie from the “X-Men” series, which Wolverine gets his own movie, already been leaked on the internet. It is not the final version, it is an earlier version with missing footage, different music, etc.

Twentieth Century Fox sent out a statement stating they will take down the person that leaked the movie online for all to download. They have the FBI and MPAA investigating.

Variety Reports:

I’m no fan of Twentieth Century Fox, but I gotta say, they are doing a good thing here. Piracy and leaking things before release is illegal. If you look at music albums or DVD movies there is an F.B.I. piracy warning on the back of them.

The pirates that do these things know it’s a wrong thing to do, they do this shit just to piss people off for fun and they are waiting to see if they get caught. That’s the evil of the internet these days. You can’t trust anyone you talk to and you can’t trust anyone you see on on the world wide web.

To those think that the leaker who put this movie online before release is an ok thing to do, don’t even understand what copyright means at all. I hope Fox destroy’s this asshole’s life.

I really am looking forward to seeing “X-men Origins: Wolverine” and you can betcha I will see it on May 1st.
