Cool Video: The Resident calls out myspace by showing herself deleting her account on video!!!

I’m sure those who are in youtube all the time, may find this youtuber vlogger, The Resident, familiar to you. She posted this funny video that she calls out myspace by deleting her account on a video. She has other videos bashing myspace.

I agree that myspace sucks so bad. I don’t even look at that site hardily at all that much, I have a personal account, but I barely ever use that as well.

Myspace is full of advertisements, spam, videos, stupid “poker games” and “gangster surveys” in peoples pages that I don’t give a fuck about, too many musicians in a delusional world thinking that myspace will make a name for themselves, myspace is full of delusional people thinking they are an internet celebrity because they are popular there, too many drama queens, I don’t listen to music in myspace much because there are advertisments that pop out of the player which is bullshit, there is just simply too many weird people in that fuckin’ site.

Myspace sucks, facebook sucks, twitter sucks…yes, most all social networking sites suck. The only places on the internet that I’ll be on a regular basis, are public blogs and youtube videos. I love blogs and youtube, I don’t do social networking sites much.

If you obsess with social networking sites too much and you spend too much time in them, then there is something wrong there that you maybe a little anti-social. If you rather waste time making friends with people you don’t even know when there should be better things for you to do, then you definitely have some kind of problems.

Myspace has gotten much worse, I see. It’s just as bad as craigslist.

The only time I look at myspace is to check out to see what a few Capital District musicians are up to and to chat with family members I have in myspace. I only listen to myspace bands only if a famous one I like uploads an entire album before release date.

I don’t know why musicians love that site so much when that site pretty much does nothing to your music. If you’re going to make your world revolve around in myspace, then I think you are in need of help. Social networking sites are a huge waste of time, period.

Thoughts and prayers goes out to Binghamton, N.Y…

Just got back home from the mall this evening, I’m just catching up on the news I’ve been missing today and seen that there is another shooting spree, but this time in New York State. As a New Yorker, my heart goes out to the family and friends to the 14 victims. Sad news.

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:

http://www.bookertlow.com/letter.shtml

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.

Report: What’s next for John Stamos after “ER”? Stamos is going back to theatre to star in a play called, “Bye Bye Birdie”…

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.

Variety Reports:

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.

Variety Reports:

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118002026.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

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.
