Yes, Rosie O’ Donnell deserves to get attacked by Donald Trump, she had it coming and she started it to begin with…

Leave a comment

On last night’s presidential debate, Hillary predictably accused Trump of saying nasty things about women and calls him a misogynist and all that stuff. *yawn* What else is new? Trump tries to defend himself by saying that he only said nasty things about Rosie O’ Donnell. Which is true.

Everybody wants to believe that Trump is a misogynist and the NeverTrump idiots think Trump hates women. So tell me, was there any other women other than Rosie O’ Donnell that he talked trash to? Well Megyn Kelly maybe but any others? No. I bet you can’t find any others. Why? It’s simply because Mr. Trump is not a woman hater. He only goes after the women who attacks him first. Women shouldn’t get a free pass for attacking men.

On top of that, Rosie O’ Donnell started the feud by attacking Trump personally. Rosie criticized Trump for not stripping Tara Conner the crown after she was tested positive of cocaine and Trump let her keep the crown. Rosie was upset about that so she called him a “snake-oil salesman” which pissed off Trump.  Then she went on to say untrue things about his personal life like his alleged affairs which also set Trump  off. The reason the feud started was it wasn’t because of Rosie being upset about Tara Conner being allowed to keep the crown, it was because she said false statements about Trump’s personal life and financial matters.

So Trump hates women for calling out a woman for attacking him? Trump has every right to go after people who “slanders” him. Rosie slanders him and she thinks she can get away with that. The NeverTrump idiots are now feeling sorry for her? Wow. The NeverTrump idiots feels sorry for anybody who attacks Trump first and they don’t like it when he decides to retaliate.

When people say hurtful and offensive stuff about me, I’m not going to respond to it so kindly. If you attack me personally, I’m probably gonna attack back. You have every right to do that. It’s about sticking up for yourself and that’s what Trump does. He sticks up for himself whenever he’s attacked by other people.

So was Trump attacking Rosie and calling her names justifiable? Absolutely! Nobody likes being accused of cheating and having affairs and all that stuff. So what Rosie said about Trump back then was inappropriate and I can’t blame Trump for attacking back ’cause I’d do the same.

Rosie is a bitch. I never liked that stupid cunt and she continues to be a bitch today.

Donald Trump goes after anyone who attacks him first. He has always bee like that. He’s one of those guys that if you respect him, he’ll respect you in return.

If someone attacks you personally, you have every right to attack back shouldn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman. Woman shouldn’t get away with their bullcrap either.

Eastbound Throwdown review… yes, I went and it was a blast…

1 Comment

The band Eastbound Jesus held their 2nd annual, “Eastbound Throwdown” festival. This time it was a two day festival with camping and all. Lots of bands on the bill and plenty of things to see and do at the festival. The festival took place at Irwin Farm in Salem, N.Y.

Yes, I went and stayed the whole weekend. It was a blast too and I had a lot of fun. The guys in EBJ did a great job putting together their own festival. I was impressed. It was all very professional. It was more than just music. You can also eat food there, play games, drink all kinds of alcohol and just hang out with people.

I got to hang out with plenty of people I already know and got to meet some new faces as well. Did I get drunk and get myself hammered? You betcha I did drink quite a bit so I admittedly did get pretty wasted. I’m not much of a drinker at all but once in a blue moon won’t hurt, ya know? I just wanted to have a blast and get a buzz on.

I got to be a part of the EBJ Throwdown staff so I got to hangout backstage and stuff. Even though I was allowed to go backstage with a pass and all, I didn’t hang out backstage all that much ’cause I was too busy watching all the talent on stage out in the audience. I’m a huge local music supporter and I like watching musicians play. When I did go backstage, I would go back there and talk to the bands after their performance to give them compliments and stuff.

While I think all talent at EBJ Throwdown were great, I was most impressed with the North & South Dakotas, Driftwood, The Mallet Brothers Band, Pitchfork Militia, the Blind Owl Band, Green (local cover band) and of course, EBJ kills it like they always do.

They did a great job with the stage, sound, lighting and the scheduling of bands. The bands appeared on stage right on schedule so it was all done perfectly and professionally. A lot of people showed up at the Festival too so it was pretty successful. They really pulled it off beautifully.

While the bands were playing I did dance a lot myself. I danced to Green,  Blind Owl Band, The Mallett Brothers and of course, EBJ. I danced like crazy to EBJ on Friday night but the second night EBJ took the stage, I was standing this time and then I watched the rest of the EBJ show on night 2 at the top of the hill ’cause I got too tired out from all that crazy dancing. Yeah, I did dance with a couple of drunk women which was fun.

What I like about EBJ shows is that their fanbase are a bunch of cool people. They just get together, act all weird and crazy and just have a blast. Getting rowdy and crazy is a small part of what their shows are about really. EBJ fans look out for each other which is cool. Just dance with random people and act all weird. EBJ shows are all about having fun. If you want to act all silly and dumb at EBJ shows, go ahead. 🙂

EBJ Throwdown was a total blast. If you want to see a lot more pics and video, check out my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/BK0xMQiA4hA/?taken-by=kevbrockmusic

This Throwdown was definitely way better than last year’s and definitely looking forward to next year.

Think I’m pretty much done with Apple Music streaming, don’t really need it…

Leave a comment

So I let my subscription for Apple Music streaming go and let it run out. I don’t think I’m gonna get it back either.  I don’t really need online streaming services ’cause in my opinion, they’re pretty pointless. Apple Music streaming can be pretty frustrating admittedly. A lot of glitches and problems still. So I got out of Apple Music streaming and went back to regular Itunes. So instead of streaming albums online, I’ll go back to buying albums from Itunes on a regular basis which I like better.

Online streaming of albums is trying to change the world but I think it’s gonna fail. Another reason I don’t agree with online streaming services anymore is ’cause I would rather own the album for myself ’cause you don’t own the album when streaming online. Streaming online is kind of like a video rental store which is what I don’t like about it. I would rather buy the album and own it for myself.

So I think I’m done with online music streaming services for good, I think.

While I did used to stream music on Spotify and Apple Music, it was a good opportunity for me to listen to albums I’ve always wanted to hear and I got to hear a lot. I got to stream the entire discography of albums by my favorite artists and bands which was pretty cool anyways.

On top of that, I think it’s better to buy albums off of Itunes as a way to support the artist ’cause they need it. I’m coming to a realization that online streaming services are pretty unfair to the artists.

Trump supporters need to relax on Ted Cruz, I think Ted is trying to unite us!

Leave a comment

So Ted Cruz appears to be on the Trump Train finally and he endorsed Trump. Yeah, it appears that many Trump supporters are angry at Ted  for this. The only reason they believe that Ted is only doing this ’cause they believe Ted thinks he’s going be victorious in this election or something like that.

I don’t think so. For once, I think Ted did a good thing here and I’m willing to give him a chance. Maybe Ted Cruz is just trying to unite the conservative party? Ever since Ted started attacking Donald Trump, he totally divided the conservative movement. Maybe Ted is just trying to get us all back together. Get together and unify the party so we can help destroy Hillary.

As soon as Ted endorsed Trump, all the Trump supporters were quick to badly judge Ted. I can understand how Ted is not to be trusted ’cause I don’t like him either but I’m giving him a chance this time.

Maybe Ted felt bad for getting on the Donald Trump hating bandwagon and wanted to have a change of heart? Ya know, he was part of Trump’s GOP pledge too so maybe Ted is trying to stay faithful to that?

If you call yourself a Trump  supporter, you’re not a true Trump supporter if you don’t support all Trump endorsements. Sorry but I’m not afraid to say that.

I think Ted just wants to bury the hatchet with Trump. Rubio already buried the hatchet with Trump so why not?

Isn’t that what all the Trump supporters wanted from Ted? They wanted Ted to respect Trump and now they’re getting that. Trump supporters are still angry.

It’s funny ya know. Ted Cruz endorsed Trump and the media freaks out. Trump supporters even freaked out too. The same with Trump’s conservative enemies like Glenn Beck, he didn’t like Ted endorsing Trump too.

What Ted did was pretty awesome and I mean that too. I maybe a Trump supporter myself but I’ll admit that sometimes other Trump supporters can drive me crazy. I don’t agree with everything they do.

Why it’s important to support local music as much as possible…

Leave a comment

I love supporting local music. I’ve been a big local music supporter for way over a decade. I love local bands and acoustic artists. Whether they play originals or covers, it doesn’t  matter. I just love music.

I think it’s important to support local music as best as possible ’cause these musicians work hard for what they do. I try my best to make all of them happy by supporting their music. Just by buying their CD’s, t-shirts and going to their shows. You see these days it’s hard to get recognition and it’s hard to get noticed. I do everything I can to help local bands and solo artists out. I just enjoy being helpful.

Each time I go to a local music show, I’ll do my best to make local talent smile by watching their set and after their set, I would support them even more by buying a CD or a t-shirt off of them. When I go to a local music gig, after their performance I usually walk up to the musician and give them a compliment about their set.  That way musicians can go home feeling good ’cause I know bands & musicians don’t get too many people complimenting them these days.

I just enjoy musicians and enjoy supporting them.

Most musicians are really nice and down to earth people though. Many local musicians are pretty humble as well. They don’t take themselves seriously at all. Many local bands around here are not worried about fame or making lots of money at all. They just want to play music and that’s the end of it.

Yeah, I know not all musicians are gonna be nice, though. Some can be assholes and can be a bit egomaniacal but those are the ones you want to ignore.

Supporting local music is good for ya. Another reason is that Albany is not that much of a music scene and it’s hard to get people to support your music so I do all I can to support local bands.

Local bands really love it when you support them. When you show a band your support, they’ll do what they can to give back to ya like free stuff, shoutouts at their shows or even better they can become your friend too.

Supporting local bands is awesome. I would like to go out and see more live local music ’cause I would love to get my chance to see Candy Ambulance and Dryer live. Two other local bands that I love.

I enjoy getting CD’s and other merch from local bands. Whether they give me their stuff for free or not, it’s all good. I don’t mind paying local bands “money” ’cause they really deserve that and need it too.

Over the weekend at the Eastbound Throwdown festival, I bought 6 local albums from four different local acts. Eastbound Throwdown was a total blast. I’ll write a full post about the festival with pics and video tomorrow.

Playstation 4 so far…

Leave a comment

So I just bought the PS4 this year and had it for a little while. I’ve bought 8 games for it so far and currently playing “Batman: Arkham Knight” right now. “Batman: Arkham Knight” is a great game so far. Before I started “Batman: Arkham Knight”, I’ve beat the game “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” which that game is great too.

I’ve got like 6 other games to play though like “Overwatch”, “Until Dawn”, “Call of Duty: Black Ops III”, “Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare”, “Minecraft” and “7 Days to Die”.

I still want to get the games “No Man’s Sky” and “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” but didn’t get them yet ’cause I want to try to finish the other games I haven’t played yet.

The PS4 is great so far. I’m loving it. I know Sony released a few other PS4 systems just recently like PS4 slim and PS4 Pro but fuck it. I just wanted to get the PS4 so I got the regular PS4. I had to get a PS4 so I can catch up with all the new games since they aren’t releasing PS3 games anymore.

I also know about the Playstation VR that’s coming out, that Playstation Virtual Reality thing and I’m also thinking about getting that sometime down the road.

I love video games. I’ve been a video gamer all my life and still am. It’s just something I’ve grown up on . I’ve been playing video games ever since the original Atari came out and I was a little child back then.

Yoga will help you build strength and lose body fat both at the same time…

4 Comments

One thing I love about Yoga is that it also helps you build more strength and also lose body fat the same time. Yoga is not only exercises for building a little more muscle, it’s also cardio, I’m noticing. You wanna lose weight and lose body fat, Yoga will do it. Yoga is probably the best style of workouts to get you in the best shape of your life. Each week I do Yoga, I get a lot stronger. I get a little better with balancing too.

I’ve been onto Yoga for a couple of weeks now and had about 5 yoga sessions. I love Yoga. Wish I discovered this a long time ago.

Again, since I have scoliosis and the harrington rod, some may say Yoga might be risky for people with scoliosis but not really. Most Yoga is actually pretty safe for me. Only Yoga poses I can’t be doing are backbending stuff ’cause metal can’t bend. Other than that, I can do everything else just fine.

Yoga is pretty fuckin’ awesome. Loving it so far. It really is good for your health and good for your body. Good for your breathing too. There’s too many reasons why Yoga is good.

I plan to stick with Yoga and stay dedicated. Yoga may look boring to you but once you actually do it, you would find it fun and enjoyable. I’m glad I got into it.

I may not be all that flexible yet but give it time and I will be soon.

Video: Hillary mad ’cause she isn’t ahead of Donald Trump in the polls…

Leave a comment

This video is hilarious. Hillary goes on a little rant about why she isn’t 50 points ahead of Donald Trump in the polls. She doesn’t bring up his name at all but she was definitely talking about him.

Do you really want this piece of trash in the White House? A woman who seems to have a temper tantrum and all? Some  would believe that Trump has a temper tantrum but not really. Hillary is the one with the temper tantrum.

This video is hilarious. As she starts to say “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?”, she starts to raise her voice as if she is about to start yelling.

Donald Trump “winning” is definitely getting under her skin for sure.

Hillary can’t get the hint that the reason she’s not ahead in the polls is ’cause no one likes her. Not only “right-wingers” despise her, there are even some liberals and independent voters that despise her as well.

This woman is obviously mentally unstable and this video proves that. Maybe she really does have brain damage.

We can’t have her in the White House. If we do get her anyways, we’re so screwed.

Gonna be going to Eastbound Throwdown this weekend…

Leave a comment

The band Eastbound Jesus will hosting their 2nd annual “Eastbound Throwdown” this weekend. A two day festival with a bunch of bands.

https://www.facebook.com/events/1174261855931793/

I may not be online much for the next two days.

I’m just gonna go there enjoy the bands, hang out with people and enjoy myself. I’ll probably dance and go crazy when The Mallet Brothers, EBJ and Green hits the stage. Green is a cover band from my hometown of Greenwich so I’m looking forward to seeing them too. The band Green is always a good time.

I wonder how many drunk women will want to dance with me this weekend? By the time EBJ hits the stage, I’m sure everybody will be drunk by then. WIll I get drunk myself? Not sure. I try not to get drunk but I guess once in a blue moon won’t hurt. I probably will end up getting hammered ’cause I know people will probably end up offering me drinks anyways. Last year, I’ve had drunk women wanting to dance with me so I did and the same will probably happen this year. I’ll probably end up being all weird and crazy with the women.

Nothing wrong with that, though. That’s a part of what EBJ shows are for to be weird, crazy… get all rowdy and have a blast.

I’ll be bringing my Ipod Touch so I can take photos and video for my instagram. I’ll write about the show when on my blog when I get back.

Will Hillary show at this Monday’s debate with the Donald? I say yes she probably would but…

Leave a comment

… I predict that Hillary will only last for one debate with the Donald. Why, you may ask? Simply because like I repeatedly said many times before Hillary can’t take on a guy like the Donald. I really hope she shows this Monday night ’cause I want to see her get humiliated and destroyed by the Donald for the world to see.

As you see in the tweet above, looks like Trump can’t wait to debate Hillary on Monday night. Oh god, I really hope she shows!

She probably would show… however, she would only last for one debate with him and then she would drop out after. I’m sure he’s gonna keep the pressure on her pretty hard when he faces her in person.

Hillary vs. Donald in a presidential debate. It’s gonna be entertaining as hell TV, I’m telling ya. Of course, the moderators will probably kiss Hillary’s ass most of the time and be on her side most of the time. I’m sure the first presidential debate on TV will be a HUGE ratings draw ’cause you know how Trump pulls in the ratings. The whole country is waiting for Donald to destroy Hillary on TV. I know I can’t wait!

She may not even last long in the first debate ’cause she might walk out in the middle of it and give up. Ya know, storm out ’cause she couldn’t take the pressure from the Donald.

Trust me guys, the Donald is gonna drive Hillary crazy this coming Monday night. Even if he won’t be allowed to attack her, still though, he will always find ways to piss her off.

The 1st debate will be great TV. It’ll be better than PPV. I’ll be watching the presidential debate instead of WWE RAW. Can’t wait to watch it.
