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.

Thought: Rehearsing for the P4th gig…

Yesterday, I spent a while going through my original songs. Trying to see if I still remember the lyrics to all of my songs since I haven’t played a gig in a long while.  It appears that I still remember most all of my lyrics to my songs to my surprise.

I’m still on the break and hiatus of performing gigs, I accepted this P4th one since I miss playing shows out there and I want to get out there at least once or a couple of times this summer to play a few shows. I’ve been concentrating on the guitar skills more than the actual songwriting to be honest so I haven’t been really writing many songs, still trying to learn better guitar.

I’m honestly starting to get bored of the acoustic guitar, and I want to soon get into electric playing. Become an electric player in hopes of getting my own band going down the road. I always liked acoustic music, don’t get me wrong. But I had always been into electric rock music my entire life and I was meant to pick up the electric guitar from the very beggining. I really want to write rock songs. I’ve always been writing rock songs that were meant for electric guitar in a full band but I write them on acoustic first to save them for the full band electric down the road.

Me not gigging a whole lot this time around has nothing to do with the negative and childish drama I get from people in the music scene, I really could care less about that anymore as I’ve made a vow to stay out of negative drama completely last year and so far it’s working. If you’re a musician, and if so many people hate you, so fucking what. It’s not the end of the world. You should only concentrate on yourself and the people who support your music, don’t feed the haters.

You know, people out there can call me a negative spiteful troll all they want. They can judge and slander me all they want to. The fact is, people know nothing about me when they think they do. I do what I want to do and say what I want to say, period.

Anyhow, for my P4th gig, I’ll probably will wind up bringing my videocam to tape my performance for youtube, plus to videotape the other bands playing there for a little bit, and maybe interview some people at the club in a videoblog just for a little fun and laughs, I’ll look around for really drunk and wasted people to get them going on the Brock cam, lol.

Looking forward to playing there so those in the area should make plans into coming out. I put a “gig calendar” link in this blog for more information. I’ll be soon making a flyer for this gig once I get full details and information.

Report: “Fraggle Rock” making a return to the big screen…

The Weinstein Co. has just greenlighted to make Jim Henson’s “Fraggle Rock” into a live action motion picture. The original characters Gogo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and Red will be making a return to the film. The story focuses that the characters leave their underground world to our world which they think the humans are aliens just like in the TV series. The TV series is co-starred by Gerard Parkes who plays the role of Doc who works in a workshop and is an inventor that has a dog named Sprocket.

The movie does not have any other cast members announced and neither a director. Just a bunch of producers and writers are signed to the picture.

Fraggle Rock only lasted 5 seasons back in the 80’s. I don’t think it’ll do very well in theater but who knows.

I just think the Weinsteins just trying to compete with the new Muppet movie in the works.

Cool Video: Final action scene in “Rambo”…

Geez, scenes from the new “Rambo” movie are already getting leaked to youtube even before the DVD comes out on May 27th.

This scene is the actual final action sequence from the new “Rambo” 2008 film. This is the scene where Rambo finally comes back at the Burmese army with a vengeance. Enjoy this edge of your seat scene.

In my opinion, this is the greatest action movie sequence ever made in any action movie ever.

This scene may have some major SPOILERS, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, DO NOT click and watch, just wait for the DVD to come out to experience the fun.

Enjoy.

Report: Warner Bros. lie about “Speed Racer” box office budget…

Warner Bros. continue to show how much of a disgrace that company is to the film industry!!!!!!! They lie about the budget “Speed Racer” made last weekend. In the public reports, they said that “Speed Racer” made about $20.2 Million being no. 2 behind “Iron Man”, but in reality, the film really made $18.7 million making it no. 3.

Fuck WARNER BROS!!!! I lose my respect to them everytime they pull something like this. The more success a company gets, the egos expand. That’s the way this society is.

Report: Why McCain will be our next president…

Everybody thinks that Barack Obama or Hillary will become our next President, but it is the truth that McCain will win. McCain will be elected as our next President and his recent interview with Bill O’ Reilly explains it all.

From FOXNews excerpt of the interview:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,354727,00.html

McCain is the man and that’s who I’m rooting for. America wants another George W. Bush, that’s a proven fact. If George W. was running again (I know he’s not, but what if…), you can betchass he would have been elected again.

Obama and Clinton both want the war to end right away so US soldiers come home but if that happens, that lets the terrorists win the war. We have to finish what we’ve started, McCain should be president to keep the war going so we can win. McCain knows what he’s talking about with truth dead on, as all Obama and Clinton are doing is just slamming each other for media attention. Just because Obama is winning most of the states, doesn’t mean he will win President election in the future.

Anything can happen in President elections.

BREAKING NEWS: “Mission: Metallica” UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

“Mission: Metallica” the new promotion site for the new Metallica album is launched now. It appears the band launched it a day early as a mother’s day gift for the fans but I was not online at the time to get a chance to get on it (I was either watching a movie or playing Grand Theft Auto IV most of the evening yesterday).

Go here and enjoy:

http://www.missionmetallica.com/

It’s basically going to be a countdown preview, like videos of Metallica recording the new album in the studio, and after all the videos are uploaded, I believe they will upload the new album on that site for us all to hear before it’s out in September.

Report: After Indy 4, here comes Abe Lincoln for Spielberg…

 

Right after Steven Spielberg gets done promoting “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, he will get right to work on the next film about our 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Spielberg will make this film through Dreamworks and could possibly begin filming early next year. Spielberg had actor Liam Neeson confirmed to play Lincoln which is a perfect choice for the role.

Look like Spielberg is aiming for the Oscars on this one. And sounds like this one may be a long film between 3-4 hours. Spielberg had always been known to make long films so don’t get your hopes up if this will be a short one.
