Your thought for the day: When people call you crazy, just say thank you…

This isn’t a meme but sort of like one. It’s on twitter instead. I felt that this was worth re-sharing. Love it too much and so true!!!

When you want to do things in your life like set different goals and dreams… other people are gonna criticize you. They’ll call you crazy, delusional and all they’ll do is doubt you. I’m sure you go through it all the time. You’re gonna get critics and doubters but best thing to do is be flattered anyway. They’re obviously jealous and envious of you.

Whenever I come up with a goal or a dream… people are gonna doubt me and call me crazy all the time. For example, when I wanted to get myself into bodybuilding and try to get a bodybuilder physique kind of like Sly and other famous bodybuilders. People called me crazy and delusional. I’ve gotten into bodybuilding like 4 or 5 years ago.. it’s been 5 years now I think and I already got myself a decent bodybuilder physique. I’ve already achieved that dream. Still got a lot of work to do on my physique but I like what I see. I got six pack abs, big arms, my legs are getting bigger and my chest is improving finally too. I’m doing good, I think.

When I come up with other goals and dreams like being more successful with women… sure enough… I get attacked and criticized. Probably because they know that I have the balls to publicly express my goal of being successful with women when other guys don’t have the guts to do that. Whether they want to admit it or not… they probably struggle with women too and they attack you out of jealousy. I have been working on the self improvement and trying to become more confident around women.

Whenever I come up with something like go to college, get my license/car, try to get into martial arts (which is something I wanna do someday) and come up with a huge goal… whatever it is… people will doubt you and call you crazy.

Simply because they couldn’t come up with ideas, dreams, and goals like that themselves. I have plenty of dreams and goals I wanna achieve. Some of them just take time and baby steps.

When people criticize you and make claims this stuff will never happen… they gotta be jealous of you. I can’t think of no other reason. Instead of saying positive things and helping you like, “I wish you luck”… instead they have to be an asshole about it by going something like, “BWAHAHAHAHA, never gonna happen, keep dreaming”.

Seriously, though, I can’t tell you how many times I got criticized for me wanting to become more successful with women. I’ve been told that I won’t be able to get women ’cause some think I’m a creep or unattractive… they made claims that women won’t date me ’cause they think I’m a loser. I can go on and on. I am very positive that I have what it takes to get the beautiful and hot women. I have gotten approached by them lots of times before and I’ve had some women who showed indicators of interest (IOI’s). I used to believe that women won’t date me ’cause they would find me unattractive. I don’t think like that anymore… I am starting to believe that the gorgeous women do find me good-looking and sexy. I just gotta prove the doubters wrong somehow and silence all those nay-sayers.

Yeah, we maybe crazy with our dreams and goals but they are supposed to be. We have to be crazy to get what we want.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Marilyn Burns 1949 – 2014

Leave a comment

As a huge fan of the original, “Texas Chainsaw” movie… I feel that this passing is worth posting. Marilyn Burns who played the leading role in the original 1974, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (which was directed by Tobe Hooper) has passed away. She was found dead in her home in Texas. Her cause of death is not yet known at this time. While she is most famous as her role as Sally Hardesty, she has appeared in several other films in her career. Films such as “Helter Skelter”, “Eaten Alive”, “Kiss Daddy Goodbye”, etc. Marilyn returned to her Sally Hardesty role for “The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation” and she appeared as Verna Carson for the latest Texas Chainsaw movie, “Texas Chainsaw 3D”.

A sad loss in Hollywood and I’ve always considered her as the true scream queen. She gave the best screams.

Look like there’s going to be a UK Office continuation after all!!! David Brent on his way to the big screen!!!

Leave a comment

This is pretty sweet! Even though the UK Office is done and over with, I’m glad Ricky is still not done playing the David Brent character. I think he’s just doing this for the fans. Fans kept begging Ricky to bring David Brent back so he responded.

I’m definitely looking forward to this!!! Even though the big screen movie is heading toward a different direction, I hope other characters from the UK Office would make appearances for the film. Wouldn’t it be cool to see Gareth, Tim and Dawn make cameos? I thought they were great characters.

I’m definitely looking forward to this one!

music

Purchased 5 albums from Itunes today…

Leave a comment

Just picked up 5 albums for my Ipod today:

-Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: “Hypnotic Eye”
-Marty Friedman: “Inferno”
-Ted Nugent: “Shut Up and Jam”
-Ted Nugent: (1975 debut)
-Al Di Meola: “Electric Rendezvous”

I was gonna get the new Weird Al album but then I decided I’m not gonna get it.

If you don’t know who Marty Friedman is. He is the former guitarist of Megadeth. He now has a long successful solo career and he lives out in Japan now. I’ve been curious about his new album, “Inferno” for a long while and finally got around to getting the album. I’m sure it’s a great album.

As you can see, I’ve been getting into Al Di Meola. He’s just beginning to become my favorite guitarist. The guy’s a freakin’ genius. I loved the other three albums I bought of his and now I got another one, “Electric Rendezvous”. If you wanna hear some pretty sick guitar playing listen to Al Di Meola. You may not be into jazz that much but this guy makes it okay to listen to jazz music. This guy shreds!!! The more I listen to Al Di Meola, the more music I want from him!

Yeah, so I ended up getting Ted Nugent’s new album, “Shut Up and Jam” after all. I got his first album too ’cause I wanted the song, “Stranglehold” which is a song I loved for a long time.

The new Tom Petty album is killer too!

Film Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Leave a comment

Starring: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Gary Oldman

Directed by: Matt Reeves

Today, I’ve just seen the new Planet of the Apes movie, “Dawn of the Planet of The Apes”. I was gonna go see the movie, “Lucy” but I ended up seeing the new Planet of the Apes movie instead. Here is my review…

Plot/Synopsis: A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

The first “Planet of the Apes” with James Franco was just pretty good. Nothing great, nothing amazing. Just a pretty good film. I have been a huge Planet of the Apes fan for years. I’m a huge fan of all the Planet of the Apes movies and the TV series. I even enjoyed the Tim Burton remake a lot too. Yeah, I’m a die-hard Planet of the Apes fan and still am.

It’s very rare that sequels can be better than the first one. Most sequels of Hollywood movies are really bad but this one can be an exception. I thought “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” was a very impressive as hell movie. Definitely way better than the first. 10 times better. Finally, we get a movie with a great script that is smart and enjoyable. The casting is very good. We don’t have too many big names stars. The only big name star in the movie is obviously Gary Oldman who killed it like usual. Well, Andy Serkis who voices Caeser can be considered a big name too, I guess.

This movie is about war. Apes vs. Humans. This movie is also about betrayal and hatred so the movie is obviously very dark. The first movie was more of a family-friendly kind of film, the second one was a lot darker. I was at the edge of my seat throughout the whole film and I wasn’t bored.

Of course, the movie has plenty of action. The action scenes are entertaining as hell too. You wanna see apes get into some serious fighting? You would see apes fight like humans do. What’s different about this film is that apes uses guns. All the apes care for each other and they look out for each other. They don’t trust humans so they protect each other the best they can. In the first movie, they got rid of most humans and took over the world ’cause they didn’t like how humans treated the apes. Humans who survived have lost everything and they want to help the apes and not go to war with them.

The movie is also visually stunning and cinematography was impressive. I thought this was a very intense film and so far, this is the best film of 2014. Pretty high up there. I would recommend you check this film out if you’re an POTA fan. If you’re a newbie, I wouldn’t recommend seeing this movie right away ’cause you need to see the first one in order to understand the story.

I’m already looking forward to the third one now!

Two thumbs up!

The Zombie apocalypse maybe coming for real…

1 Comment

So Obama opened the borders and allowed Ebola to enter our country. Few people have gotten Ebola and all of us could get it. I know that zombie apocalypse’s is fictional but it sounds like it’s gonna happen for real. More evidence of Obama’s transforming of the USA. He wants to kill us and that was his goal all along. You liberals should be very scared of Obama. He knows what he’s doing to America and knows what he wants.

Ebola is very scary. Obama wants all of us to get the disease so he can kill us all and replace us with his fellow Muslim people.

Everyone in America could get Ebola and a real apocalypse could be upon us. Get ready America!!!

Intelligence Committee’s report on Benghazi is bullshit!!!

Leave a comment

There is a difference between Select Committee and Intelligence Committee in the House of Representatives. The Intelligence Committee claims in their new report that there was no wrong doing and no conspiracy with the Obama administration for the Benghazi attack.

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/08/04/how-the-newest-house-benghazi-report-should-cha/200316

If I may give you guys some advice, this isn’t the official truth. This is according to the Intelligence Committee. They are only telling their side of the story. I think they are just trying to protect this administration and Hillary. Their way of trying to stop Gowdy’s Select Committee.

I’m still not buying it.

I’m sure you guys are going to accuse me of only wanting answers that I want to hear but it’s not true. I want the real truth. I wanna know everything. I wanna know the facts. It doesn’t matter whether or not the Obama administration was responsible.

This is NOT stopping Gowdy’s investigation and we’ll wait to see what he comes up with.

Funny photo of Dolph during the filming of Rocky IV…

1 Comment

Here’s a younger Dolph Lundgren having a chat with actress Grace Jones. Dolph just dropped this photo on his facebook page and thought it would be worth sharing here. It seems like Grace is trying to invite him over for a good time, hey? I bet Dolph got himself a lot of pussy back in the day.

Dolph is one of my favorite actors, though. I love Dolph Lundgren movies. I even loved all of his b-movies that he starred in over the years.

Kev

Edit to add: I can’t tell whether Grace Jones is either a man or a woman. I’m sure you would agree.

First the Ghostbusters is going all female… now the Expendables going all female too???

Leave a comment

At Cannes film festival, Avi Lerner the producer of “The Expendables” franchise revealed that he is planning an all-female Expendables that will be titled, “The Expendabelles”. He also said they are writing the final lines of the script and they should start shooting in the beginning of next year.

Stallone said he wants Sigourney Weaver to star as his on-screen wife and he wants her to lead, “The Expendabelles” group.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sylvester-stallone-wants-sigourney-weaver-723193

What’s with the new all-female trend in Hollywood???

“The Expendabelles” sounds like a title of a low budget soft-core porn film, HA!!!!

An action movie with hot babes??? I’m all for that!

As for my dream casting of this movie how about: Rhonda Rousey, Gina Carano, Michelle Rodriguez, Scarlett Johansson, Milla Jovovich, Zoe Saldana, Rooney Mara, and Uma Thurman.

Why did I pick Uma Thurman??? Well she did some great action with the two “Kill Bill” movies so she might be a good addition to this.

It’s gonna be kind of tough for Sly and Avi to find tough looking chicks for an action flick. Those actresses I listed above would probably be the best choices.

If this movie doesn’t show boobs or legs, then this film would be worthless. Sex and action should go together for this one if they want it to work. Maybe that’s the whole idea???
