The two beheading videos of those journalists were fake…

5 Comments

If you believe that the beheading videos of James Foley and Steven Sotloff were real then you really are gullible.

If the Obama administration are promoting this as “authentic” there’s your proof that these videos are fake. Remember, anything that comes out of Obama’s mouth is a lie.

I think James and Steven are both still alive.

These two videos are definitely not real. Both were very bad film making… they look like they were filmed as low budget B movie films. The backgrounds of both videos aren’t real… they look green screen to me and the wind is fake too… possibly coming from a very large fan in a studio.

Anybody who believes those two beheading videos are real is a dumbass and I’m not afraid to say it.

The UK even confirmed this was staged so it’s not conspiracy theory.

If you believe everything that this administration puts out there, then I feel sorry for you. They maybe vowing to take down Isis but all they’re doing is trying to cover up that they were the ones who created Isis.

Anything that comes out of this administration is a lie. The last thing you wanna do is be quick at believing them and trusting them.

AmpliTube app for Ipad…

Leave a comment

Just this morning, I finally purchased and downloaded, the AmpliTube guitar playing app for the Ipad. I’ve always wanted that app and it’s a very nice guitar playing app. Guitar sounds on it sounds real and professional sounding. Better than garageband, in my opinion!

I wanted that app so I can record electric guitar riffs and song ideas for rock songs. I also got it so I can practice jamming guitar solos over my rhythm playing!

I think I’m just about tired of writing acoustic songs all of the time and I wanna start writing hard rock songs. Write rock n’ roll songs with strong riffs and guitar solos!

For years now, I’ve been trying to find ways to investigate on how to make my own backing tracks and getting there.

I wanna write rock n’ roll songs and rock out. This is why I’m trying to learn music theory and trying to improve my lead guitar chops… getting the hang of both.

Soon, I’ll be making full band songs for the internet. It just takes a lot of learning and research.

AmpliTube is a great guitar playing app, though. I’m impressed with it!

Your Meme For The Day: Don’t Let Other People’s Opinions Determine Who You Are…

Leave a comment

This meme is worth re-sharing here.

If you’re getting people saying all kinds of crazy and negative things about you… thinking they know everything about you when they don’t… do not let that bother ya and continue to shine on. To hell with other people’s opinions about you and just continue to smile, be happy and be positive. That’s me.

I don’t care what other people think about me. People are always saying things about me which is interesting. They like to tell me how crazy and horrible of a person I am but as you all can probably tell, I never let that stuff bring me down. I continue to stay strong, ignore the bullshit and be joyful.

That’s what pisses people off even more.

People try to get me listen to their opinions about me but I’m never going to. I’m just going to continue to be me, ya know? That’s the way to live life.

People are always saying things about how I live my life, the way I am on the internet and all that stuff but I don’t give a shit. Fuck everybody and their opinions.

No matter what people think of me good or bad, I will always be me and will always be happy. Screw everyone, ya know? The things people say about you is just “opinion”. Be who you wanna be. There’s no crime in that.

Dwayne Johnson finally confirms Black Adam role after all these years!!!

Leave a comment

Fans of the DC superhero, Black Adam, wanted Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to play that character in a live action movie ’cause why? Everybody knew that The Rock would be the perfect fit for the character and I agree with it! I don’t know much about the Black Adam character since I don’t read comic books but the story looks pretty cool to me, though!

Then there have been many years of rumors that DC/Warner Bros were in talks with Dwayne to play Black Adam or Shazam either one. Well, the Rock himself finally confirmed the rumors. The rumors turned out true. Fans wanted him, they got him!

I’m tired of superhero films but this one could be the good one. Looking forward to seeing how DC/Warner Bros. is gonna pull this one off!

Metallica makes the Guinness Book of World Records due to touring all 7 continents…

Leave a comment

Love ’em or hate ’em, Metallica is very successful. They were the first band ever to play all 7 continents of the world which no other band or solo artist have done before. No matter what you think of Metallica, it can’t be denied that this is very impressive. Playing all over the world like that.

I do notice however that Metallica don’t tour the United States that much. They spend most of their lives touring heavily overseas. Why do they tour other countries than the United States??? Probably because they sell more records in other countries than the States.

I was lucky enough to see them live for the first time when they actually made a stop in my area for the “Death Magnetic” tour… they played Albany during that tour and I went to that show. It’s a rare moment to be able to see Metallica live ’cause they’re always touring everywhere. I imagine it’ll be tough for die-hard fans to follow every show of theirs.

I love Metallica but I wish they would do another US tour. This band usually tours the US when they have a new album out. This band are always playing concerts non-stop though. They perform shows all year-long, all year-round.

It just shows that they love what they do. They’ll be playing until they’re dead.

I do wish they would hit the studio again, though. They always seem to be strict about studio… they seem to only record when they want to not because their fans want them to. I guess they start recording new material when they feel the timing is right. We won’t get a new Metallica album this year but probably in 2015, hopefully.

Congrats to Metallica on making Guinness. That’s no surprise, though. I kind of new that they would make the World Records since they are the first band to play all 7 continents. No other band and artist had the balls to do that so that alone should give Metallica the respect they deserve.

Film Review: The Expendables 3…

1 Comment

Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Ronda Rousey

Directed by: Patrick Hughes

Welp, I decided to go to the movies today for something to do and I ended up seeing, “Expendables 3”. I know I said I was gonna pass on it and wait for DVD rental but I changed my mind. On with my review:

Plot/Synopsis: Barney augments his team with new blood for a personal battle: to take down Conrad Stonebanks, the Expendables co-founder and notorious arms trader who is hell bent on wiping out Barney and every single one of his associates.

After seeing this film, I can see why the movie flopped in the box office. It was definitely the PG-13 rating that turned people away from seeing it. Since this film is a PG-13 rating, you’re gonna see less blood and less swearing. The first two Expendables films were very successful ’cause they had a lot of blood and swearing, this one didn’t. This one was more family-friendly.

Still though, I thought the film was pretty good. Not the best of the trilogy but “Expendables 3” was fun. That’s all it is. Of course, it’s action packed all the way through. Even if there is not a lot of blood and swearing, the action scenes were still a blast to watch, though.

I had more fun seeing all the stars… wow… it had everybody in it pretty much. All the big icons. Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer and actor Robert Davi (formerly known as Jake Fratelli in the “Goonies”) had a surprising cameo appearance. It was pretty cool to see Sly re-team with Wesley Snipes and Antonio Banderas. Those two guys teamed with Sly in past films before. I thought Ronda Rousey, the now UFC star and undefeated women’s champion did a pretty good job in her first major film role. I’m a huge fan of Ronda Rousey.

Like usual the plot was pretty simple and predictable. Arnold usually does his funny one-liners and he did his “Get To The Choppa” catchphrase in this film which was funny.

My question is that there was this one scene where Antonio Banderas was telling a story to Sly’s character, Barney and Antonio said this line, “We waited for support. No one ever came. Everybody died” — did Sly inspire that scene off the Sept 12th, 2012 – Benghazi attack??? Has Sly been paying attention to the Benghazi story since Benghazi got a reference in this film? That scene kind of got me scratching my head a little bit but it was a cool scene, though.

With all this being said, this wasn’t a bad Expendables movie. I just wished they kept the R rating. My other disappointment was that Jet Li got very little screen time which is understandable since this movie is so crowded with so many big stars.

I’m gonna rate these movie reviews a little different from now on and I’m gonna give this movie a score of: 3/5 as in “good”.

This wasn’t the best “Expendables” movie. Which film of the trilogy that I thought was the best film? I thought “Expendables 2” was the best so far simply because of JCVD and Chuck Norris.

I’m glad I got to see “Expendables 3” today.

Yes, another post about “nude” selfies…

Leave a comment

Here’s a well-written article by a woman who is actually defending nude selfies. Like she said it’s not a big deal. Remember, this is coming from a woman who have no problem posing in the nude or topless.

It doesn’t make people “sluts” for doing it. This is what people do in their sex lives. It’s normal. It’s healthy. Everybody does it. Not only women do it, guys do it too.

It’s not a big freakin’ deal people and like this woman in this article says… who cares if people do it! Like I said in an earlier post, I think it’s amazing that people do these things. I’m all for it.

That’s the kind of woman I would like to have someday. A woman who is comfortable and confident in her sexuality. Someone who is not afraid of it.

This is an interesting opinion piece article that you should read. Who hasn’t taken nude pics of themselves??? Look at craigslist… there are nude photos all over the dating sections in craigslist.

I never had a problem with this stuff.

Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi Select Committee hires media director!!! GO TREY!!!!!!

Leave a comment

Shortly after the Benghazi attack happened, the Sept. 11th 2012 attack became a huge media frenzy after Susan Rice went on all those talk shows to blame it on the video and then Hillary and Barack joined in on the stonewalling. Ever since the Benghazi attack happened, there’s been a lot of dishonest reporting about the attack.

Well, Trey Gowdy is clearly not fucking around at all ’cause he just hired a media director which probably means that he wants the investigations to have more honest reporting in the media. He’s about to expose the media’s lies about the attacks and bring out the real truth.

Hiring a media director is a great idea. Trey is about to lay the smackdown on liberal media who did nothing but lie and cover for the Obama administration. There won’t be any of that in Trey’s team!

Get ’em Trey! This guy is getting serious!

When women feel sorry for Jennifer Lawrence…

Leave a comment

This nude photo debate has been all over social networking all day long and I have a feeling this debate will go on all week. I’ve been seeing topics of this in my facebook newsfeed and twitter is all over it too.

Have you noticed that most men on the internet are excited as all hell that they got to see Jennifer nude? I feel ’em ’cause I got excited too; however, when women get into this debate… I’m noticing that women are feeling sorry for her and a lot of women agrees that Jennifer was the “victim”.

Honestly, when women side with Jennifer and support her on this… I think they are speaking from their own experience. Have they taken nude pics of themselves before??? It really does seem like they’re speaking from experience, in my opinion. They took nude photos of themselves and they got ’em leaked on the web. This is why some of them are siding with her ’cause they feel her pain.

Some women claim they don’t have nude pics but don’t let ’em fool ya, guys. They’re just lying and they’re better at hiding their dirty and sexual side of them. You’d be surprised of how sexual women really are even though they don’t appear to be that way. Things aren’t always as they seem.

Just wait until male celebrities start getting their nude pics leaked. When male celebrities get their nude pics leaked, I’m sure women will go crazy over it and when that happens that will make the women look like hypocrites for criticizing men for going crazy over women celebrities.

No matter how hard the FBI tries to fight this, they won’t be able to do anything about it. This will become an even bigger problem. It’s just gonna keep happening to celebrities even more. That’s what happens when people become big and famous. It’s all about their fame. It depends on how big their celebrity status are. If a celebrity woman or man is huge and iconic, chances are, it’s gonna happen to them if they have nude photos.

The question is, why do hackers do it? Do they do it to hurt their reputation and intentionally embarrass them? In my opinion, no. I think these guys who leak the pics are just die-hard fans of that celeb, that’s all. They’re just fanatics. They leak the nude pics ’cause they know that’s what America wants to see. That’s just my observation on all of this.

For the record, I’m not against people taking nude photos of themselves…

Leave a comment

I’m not actually against people who take nude photos of themselves. I actually find it an amazing thing people do. There’s nothing wrong with it. As long as you’re in the legal age of consent, doing it legally and responsibly… then by all means, have fun with it! Why do some people in America and around the world take nude photos of themselves??? There’s a lot of reasons people do it.

Some people do it ’cause it can be artistic. Ever hear of nude photography? Some of it can be art. Not only professional people do these things… real people like us do it too. Some people do it to express themselves and be free. If you’re proud of your body, don’t be afraid to show it off. Some do it out of a sexual fantasy kind of thing. Like I said before… they do it to pass the pics around to their friends and trade dirty pics with their significant others… things like that. Some people do these things publicly and privately. There are some people who are not afraid to show it all off and have the complete confidence… that’s another reason some people do it… that shows they have the balls and are not afraid of daring. Either that or people can’t tell how their body looks and they just wanna see… maybe get feedback from people about your body privately. That could be another reason too. Everyone’s different.

In my opinion, these celebrity women shouldn’t be upset that these photos get out there but whatever, it’s Hollywood, ya know? They just need to take more responsibility if they don’t want it to happen again.

Of course, no matter how secure your privacy gets… people will always find their way around to get their hands on those photos. Fighting back is just wasting your time. Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever. Sorry but that’s the just way it is. These celebrity women will never keep their nude pics off the internet no matter how hard they try to fight it.

These things aren’t new. People have been doing these things for years. I’m not offended at all when people do it. All I’m saying is that they need to be doing it responsibly and carefully, ya know?

I like it when women do these things especially amateur women, real women who aren’t famous that is.

I think it’s very interesting how this topic of “taking nude photos of yourself” wasn’t a huge debate until Jennifer Lawrence did it.

Does it make men perverts or “pigs” for wanting to see nude pics of women? No. It’s a normal thing to do. It’s called being a man. That’s what men do… look at naked women so don’t blame the hackers for taking the pics. This is what guys do. We just want our eye candy and porn.

Jennifer Lawrence does have a hot body, though… she shouldn’t feel ashamed at all.
