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.

More on going to college…

So I picked my classes that I plan to take in Acc College this fall. The courses I may be taking are: “Reading, Writing Workshop A”, “Creative Writing: Drama, Poetry and Fiction”, and “Small Business Management”.

The college thing is really happening this fall and I’m getting excited. This is something I should have done a long time ago after I graduated high school.

The reason I’m taking those writing courses is beacuse like I said before, I am taking fiction writing again seriously and want to get better at it. I’m also taking the “Small Business Management” course, because I hope to own my own small business in the future.

I want to own my own store in Greenwich that sells a variety of stuff from books, music CD’s, video games, DVDs/Blu Ray discs, etc. I want to have live music in that store too of course probably starting off with open mic shows.

As far as working my job goes, I’m going to have to work my job part time in the fall ’cause I can’t do both college and work full time. I’d rather do college full time instead of work, so for work, I’ll go back to part time. I’ll need more free time to study for tests and exams and stuff.

Sometime soon before the fall, I need to go to Acc College to get registered and sign up for the classes I want to take. I’ll probably start going back to school when I get back home from my San Diego vacation.

As far as my San Diego vacation goes, I’m really looking forward to that as well. We’re definitely gonna go to the famous “San Diego Zoo” and they do allow cameras there, so I’ll take a bunch of pics at the Zoo. I’ll probably do other things besides the Zoo of course, like going to the beaches, doing some shopping in downtown San Diego, going to the bars/clubs for a few drinks, eat at some expensive restaurants probably, sight seeing in San Diego, etc. Whatever we can think of.

My brother and his girlfriend lives in downtown San Diego, directily in the city, just a couple of blocks from the beach. Can’t wait to get out of New York for a week, I haven’t been on vacation in a long long time. The last vacation I went on was at Martha’s Vineyard island, in Mass and that was a couple of years ago.

This is one actor I would like to see make a huge comeback to the big screen in the USA.

This man deserves a successful career as well. I hope he comes back with a blockbuster film.

See the trailer for “JCVD” below.

Report: Friday The 13th remake…Jason Voorhees photos revealed…

Oh my! This movie is looking very promising. Most of the new Friday the 13th movies were pretty bad and looks like they will reboot this franchise.

Jason looks like an actual human in those pictures, not a monster. Very cool and can’t wait to see a teaser trailer!

Report: Bryan Singer to produce new superhero film “Capeshooters”…

Warner Bros had just acquired the rights to make “Capeshooters” adapted from the comic books, and Bryan Singer is set to produce “only”, so there is no worries of him doing this instead of the “Superman: Returns” sequel because he is still committed to Superman.

I think it’s amazing how Hollywood never runs out of ideas for comic book films. They are coming out like crazy non stop. Back in the early 80’s, and early 90’s, comic book films weren’t that popular, it was just Superman and Batman back in those days. Now they are trying to make a film based on every single superhero out there.

Report: “Rocky Horror Picture Show” remake is coming…

Lets do the warp again! Yes, that’s right. A “Rocky Horror Picture Show” remake is on the way. The original 1975 musical that starred Tim Curry is being remade by MTV. They will still use the original screenplay from the original film written by Jim Sharman and Richard O’ Brien but the remake will write different songs, not the same ones from the original.

Sounds like a bomber to me. Another pointless remake that doesn’t need an update.

Report: PETA not a fan of the “The Dark Knight” film…

A blogger from the PETA company seems to be offended at the new Batman film “The Dark Knight”. Why? Because there are scenes in the film where Batman is beating up police dogs.

Check out the blog at PETA here:

Come on now, it’s only a damn movie! I’m sure the dogs Batman punched are fine.

Report: Brad Pitt on the fight against paparrazi and the media…

Brad Pitt and his lawyers are on the fight against anyone in entertainment media who pusblishes private family photos publicily that were taken by the paparrazi at Brad and Angelina’s French estate.

See the article and the threatening letter by Brad’s lawyers here at the Smoking Gun:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0723081pitt1.html

How stupid of the Smoking Gun to post the letter publicily when the reps just ordered them not to?

Brad is doing a great thing here. I hate the paparrazi.

Report: Will Smith named the most richest actor in the world…

While Will Smith may not look like a rich man, he truly is. Will Smith may walk around public hardily ever wearing suits or expensive tuxedos, he just wears normal and casual clothing like all of us. He never rides in expensive limos, he just drives regular cars like all of us. He’s just a normal person that he don’t have to look like a rich person, he’s just being himself like he’s always been his whole life.

Forbes compiled a list of Hollywood actors who make the most money from the movies they make, of course, it’s no surprise to me that Will Smith tops them all. Johnny Depp comes second and Eddie Murphy comes third.

More on it here:

http://www.forbes.com/home/2008/07/22/actors-hollywood-movies-biz-media-cx_lr_0722actors.html

Of course, Will Smith is the richest actor in the world. That is no surprise. The Big Willie style made hit after hit, pretty much all of his movies are hits. I don’t think he ever made a film that bombed once. He’s pretty smart and intelligent at choosing the right films that fits him.

While his acting in films is okay, he is an entertaining actor and that’s what he’s in it for, he’s an entertainer. I’m sure he’s still getting checks from “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”.
