Report: Amy Winehouse getting close to dying…

Leave a comment

Amy Winehouse was rushed to the hospital 4 days ago by fainting at her home. She’s still at the hospital as you read this. Other sources say that she’s having heart beating problems is the reason for her fainting. Amy undergoes more scans and tests to see what her problem is.

Reuters reports:

While it isn’t cool to talk death on people, I honestly feel it will happen to Amy this year. We’re never going to see a new album by Amy ’cause her drug addiction has gotten worse. She’ll be dead sooner or later, we all know it. She’ll soon be added to the list of musicians that died of drug overdoses.

Cool Video: Kid Rock gives advice to his fans to steal everything!!!

Leave a comment

Kid Rock seems to be totally cool with internet piracy. He says it all from the mouth himself in this video here. Not only that he likes the idea of stealing music online, he gives advice to steal anything you want.

Oh yeah, and it’s pretty fuckin’ hilarious when he says “Stay in school, and get off the drugs” yet he puffs a cigar, lol! Hello, a cigar is kind of like a drug too. But I think he knows that, it was part of a joke.

Thought: About playing PS3 games online…

Leave a comment

Today I was just trying to sign up for the Playstation 3 internet network so I can play games online with other people. It appears I need an ethernet cable to hook it up with. Of course, it isn’t included in the PS3 system, you have to go to a videogame store and buy one from there. I got paid from my job this week, so I will buy an ethernet cable soon. Instead of going for a cable, I’ll probably get some type wireless system so I don’t have to worry about cables. I really want to play games online for the PS3 with other people, I’m sure it will be more fun that way.

The Listening Room: Tony Scozzaro performs Springsteen cover “Born To Run” on acoustic at Tim Russert Memorial…

Leave a comment

Tony Scozzaro the brother in law of Tim Russert is a musician, looks to be a classical guitarist. Hear him perform “Born To Run” on acoustic guitar here. Pretty impressive guitar skills I may say, I’m blown away by this performance.

I believe Tim Russert was a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen’s music, that’s why the Memorial was mostly Springsteen.

Report: Woman sues Victoria Secret lingerie company, claims getting injured in the eye with a thong…

Leave a comment

The popular underwear and lingerie company for women, Victoria’s Secret, is being sued by a 52 year old woman who bought a thong from the company that injured her eye. She claims that as she was putting on the thong she bought from the company, a metallic piece broke off of it and hit her in the eye.

More on it here:

Instead of suing the entire company over a damn little injury, she should have just brought the thong back to report it to management is a better way to handle it if she had the receipt. I’m sure the company themselves would love to be in service to help their customers with problems, but nope, this stupid woman wants more money off of them. I’m sure the eye injury wasn’t all that bad. It ain’t like the doctors put an eye patch on her something.

This lawsuit wouldn’t even go through.

Just beat Grand Theft Auto IV today!!!!

Leave a comment

This morning I beat the game Grand Theft Auto IV. I never realized I was on the last mission, when I beat the mission the credits started rolling so I must of beaten the game. I won’t tell anything about it ’cause the ending does have a surprise ending.

I did pretty good in the game. Looking at my stats I was only busted 5 times and died 47 times.

While the game is amazing and a lot of fun to play, I wish it was a lot more difficult and challenging. The game is pretty easy as a matter of fact. You just got to know what you’re doing and paying attention. There were a few difficult missions that I had trouble getting by but with practice you’ll get through it.

The only thing I’m dissapointed in the game is, that there is not a lot of helicopter flying. There are only two helicopter flying missions in the game, that is it.

But other than that, the game was a blast. It was a great ride, I loved the storyline to the game and the acting of the voiceovers was fantastic as well. It felt like you were in a movie or a drama TV show or something.

I can’t wait for Grand Theft Auto V now, hopefully they make the next one even better. In the next Grand Theft Auto game, they should bring the Niko Belic character back since that character is so succesful and the most well known video game characters ever created. They should keep the Niko Belic story going in the next Grand Theft Auto installment.

It feels great to finally beat the game. I won’t move on to a different game yet, tonight, I want to try playing GTA IV online against other people, there’s a death match in GTA IV where you can play online. I’ll be looking into it.

 EDIT TO ADD: I forgot to mention that I only beat the “deal” part of the game. I’m gonna try beating the “revenge” part of it.

Report: The truth about the new myspace look…

2 Comments

Want to know the real truth behind the myspace look? Just the other day myspace just redesigned the whole site, and to be honest, I’m hating it. The more myspace continues to change the site around to make it look impressive the more I despise the site. So back to the question, why the new look?

Vince McMahon impersonation… “It’s all about, the Moooneeeeyyyyyy…”. Yep, that’s it. It’s all about the money. That one word. Myspace is about advertising so Rupert Murdoch and News Corp can make more cash.

More on it here:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/06/myspace-aims-fo.html

They don’t care about people. They don’t care about you. All they care about is pulling more people in because do you realize that every myspace page in that site is connected to advertisements so News Corp can get more dollars thrown in? It’s true, do your research on myspace and see for yourself. While myspace is a free networking site, how News Corp makes their money is the users using the site and they get paid from the advertisements. This is why Rupert Murdoch bought myspace 3 years ago, because he is a greedy cash cow.

While I do have a personal myspace account still, I keep it so I can keep in touch with my true friends and my brother who lives across the states, but I have news for ya people. I barely ever touch my personal myspace account, maybe I log in once everyday for a few minutes that’s about it, but I’m never in myspace for hours like I used to when I used to have my music account.

Like I said, all myspace cares about is marketing the site so News Corp can make more money from advertisemtns. In my opinion, “myspace” is not a cool site that you all think it is. It is horrible. That what’s myspace wants is for people to be addicted to the site, they add all of these cool new sites (like karoake, applications, etc.) in myspace and extra features to keep people in there. They want people’s lives to be devoted to “myspace”.

Myspace wants to take over the world and it officially did just that. Seems like all people think about is myspace. Myspace myspace myspace, it’s all about myspace. This is why I’m soon going to be turning my blog into my new official site hopefully this summer because I want nothing to do with myspace. Myspace continues to disgrace itself, Tom made the biggest mistake in his life by letting News Corp buy the site off of him.

The reason for the new site design is that myspace just realized that people are losing interest in the site. Don’t be addicted to myspace ’cause you’re doing nothing but supporting Rupert Murdoch and News Corp which you don’t realize you are doing. There are better things to do and more to life than just myspace.

Report: Son of Mario Puzo sues Paramount over videogame…

Leave a comment

Mario Puzo’s son Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, claiming the company failed to pay a share for Puzo’s estate from the game’s Royaltie’s. A “Godfather: The Game” was made in 2006 by EA, the game pictured above, it was based on the same story and same characters from the film. Anthony Puzo is not suing the company that made the game EA, he is suing Paramount.

7 years earlier before Mario Puzo died in 1999, Puzo and Paramount agreed to come to a deal that Puzo would receive a share from any audio or visual products made by the “Godfather” series. Anthony is sticking by his father’s wishes because this is what Mario Puzo would have wanted.

Variety Reports:

I expect Paramount to speak out about this soon, they’ll probably defend themselves so this lawsuit will get dismissed.
