Why Donald Trump is the f’ing man!!!! Seriously…

I like Donald Trump. He’s one of my favorite rich celebrities. Sure, he maybe a foul mouthed, rich and ego-driven, asshole, I know that… but, that’s why I like him! In my opinion, I find the guy very entertaining that way, which is part of why he has a very large following and supporters of his own. I don’t take the things he says seriously, I find what he says about other celebrities and politicians, very comical. He can be a pretty friendly and down to earth guy too, only when he wants to. I’ve been following the Apprentice for years, his show. I like his famous, “Your Fired”, catchphrase (Of couse Vince McMahon does it better). Donald Trump has been the same foul mouthed, rich and ego-driven, asshole for years. He’s always been this way! I find Trump’s twitter page addicting to read, there’s hilarious stuff on there, and his youtube channel is funny too. I also enjoy his brutal honesty about things, he’s kind of how I am. That’s probably why, I admire him. Not afraid to speak his mind.

I think he’s doing a good job exposing President Obama, and telling the truth about him. He also does a good job exposing people who support, Obama. A few days has past already since Donald’s announcement, and Obama still hasn’t responded, yet. Obama has ’til Weds, and I’m sure Trump will raise the deal if Obama doesn’t respond.

I find nothing wrong with Donald Trump. He’s cool.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #28: The Shining (Kubrick/Nicholson version)

A top horror film list is not complete when you don’t put the “The Shining”, in there. I’ve always loved the original “Shining”, movie. Such a classic. It is Nicholson’s best role other than “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. A great movie to watch on Halloween with the whole family. A lot of people are going to get bored at the start of the movie with that 3 minute long opening credits sequence with the boring music, but they put that in there for a reason. The opening credits sequence is just an introduction, leading you up to the Overlook Hotel as the family travels there on the road. This is the movie that Stephen King even hated himself, but the movie still gets a lot of praise and respect by a lot of fans to this day. It is one of most watched movies around Halloween season. This has always been a great flick.

RIP: Natina Reed 1979 – 2012

I’m not into this kind of music but I feel this is worth posting as a way to send out my condolences. R&B singer and rapper, Natina Reed, who is most famous for the R&B group, Blaque, and for starring in the movie, “Bring It On”, was killed in a hit and run, while walking on a highway in Atlanta, Georgia. Her wikipedia doesn’t have much in her bio, but she was killed two days before her birthday, which her birthday is today actually. Too bad she won’t be around to see it. Hit run accidents are horrible, and I wish people would be more careful and learn how to drive better. Get them to learn that they don’t own the road for themselves. She was too young to go and still had a whole life ahead of her. She has a 10 year old son who is going to grow up without his mother. I do remember, Blaque, they played their songs on pop radio, all the time. I’m sure you’ve heard of them too. Even if you’re not into this type of music at all, you should still pay your respects. Natina, was 32 years old.

Discussing politics on the internet is starting to annoy me, which is why I’m trying my best to stay away from it…

Look. I LOVE politics. I have a huge interest in it, as you all can probably tell, but discussing politics with people online can be such a huge pain in the ass. Even if I try to back my points up with pretty good facts, that I know I’m right, the others will want to think they are right, all the time. No matter what it is said. In this day and age of the internet, politics seem to be the most talked about topic. Whenever I post something politics related either in my facebook page or here, these topics are almost always controversial. They always end with way over 30 comments and they just keep going. A lot of times, political debates online end up very heated at the end, sometimes they even get into bullying and attacking others.

Most of my topics like movies, music, or professional wrestling is mostly ignored by the public, but when I post political related stuff that’s when I usually get people going!

The thing is, people will always want to think you’re bad because you have a different opinion than everyone else’s, ya know? It’s pissing me off, and discussing politics can be a bit overwhelming. That’s why I try to stay away from political discussions more but when election time comes, I just can’t help myself.

I don’t like either Mitt Romney or Obama, so I’m going to vote somebody else in the other parties, probably Gary Johnson, he seems pretty decent. Gary is getting some popularity even though he isn’t a Republican/Democrat. He might have a good chance getting a lot of votes. This election stuff will be over soon. When it’s over, I’ll probably stay away from political discussion even more.

Women like men with muscles, I just know it…

This is pretty much one of the few reasons I wanted in on this bodybuilding thing. Hoping to attract more women, and it’s working. The more buff you get, the more women will want to talk with you and hit on you. The key to attracting more women, is getting big arms ’cause they are more attracted to huge biceps sticking out of the sleeve of your t-shirt, than any other muscular body part. It’s pretty weird, but I’m loving it. Not sure why a lot of women are attracted to muscular guys. Could be many reasons. It could be they just admire guys who take care of themselves or they just want hot sex with them, or a little bit of both! Bodybuilding is a magnet for the ladies for sure! While I do love the ladies, I’m a one woman kind of guy. Not gonna be the player type. I’m gonna be the serious relationship kind of guy.

EBJ killed it last night at the Putnam Den like they usually do…

They keep getting better and better every time I see them. A lot of new material was thrown in their set last night and they are surprisingly doing covers more. Surprising covers they played last night were the Dukes of Hazad TV theme and they covered Hal Ketchum’s, “Small Town Saturday Night” (which the crowd sang along to). It was a pretty tight set. I dance throughout the whole set. They played a lot of long improvised jams which is cool. I had a blast like always.

My zombie costume got a lot of feedback, even from people I didn’t know. I was at the bar getting a drink of water (I don’t drink alcohol anymore), and there was this blond girl who was dressed as a zombie too, and as I was at the bar getting a drink, this zombie girl started walking toward me as if she was walking like a zombie. Then, when she got closer to me, she looked me right in the eyes, and started feeling my chest. So I’m thinking that she’s trying to play zombie with me and hit on me at the same time. I just smiled, put my hand up as a way to say hi, then she walked away to her other friends. I would have talked to her but she was too quick to leave. I told someone I know this funny story, and they simply said, “That’s probably because you have big guns”. I was like, “Ok, I think she just wanted to play zombie with me”.

It was a great night. Saw a bunch of Greenwich people I know, who I haven’t seen in a while. I’ll admit that I don’t socialize with the public that much, but I’m looking to change that, and be more sociable to this world. I need to get out there and make more friends in my life. I don’t socialize much ’cause I used to think people were horrible, but now I’m realizing they won’t bite. Just gotta go out and meet people which is what I’m working on as you can see. If I want to get myself a nice woman, this is what I need to do.

Fun time last night. Yes, everyone else dressed up too. Interesting costumes all over the place. Pretty much the whole town of Saratoga Springs were dressed up. On Caroline St. in Saratoga Springs is full of bars and night clubs. So there were a lot of people dressed up in various costumes in the streets too. Interesting night. It’s why Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays. I think I love it more than, Christmas, lol. EBJ is a phenomenal band, and I have a feeling they’re gonna go indie, sooner or later, so see them live as much as possible before they get there.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #27: I Saw The Devil

I’ve been wanting to see this flick on Netflix for a long while and finally got around to it last night. It’s a Korean made crime thriller titled, “I Saw The Devil”. It’s a foreign film, so it would be in subtitles throughout the entire film. It tells a story about a secret agent, whose pregnant fiance was taken a victim by a vicious serial killer. The secret agent tries to hunt down the killer himself to seek out revenge. I must warn you before you decide to watch this film, it’s not for the faint of heart. The violence in this film can be graphic, brutal and disturbing. It’s not a typical slasher flick. You’re not going to see masked madman running after women everywhere she goes. This is a different kind of murder film. This film has a more realistic approach to serial murders. I was also pretty surprised on the Korean style of film making. They certainly do make films differently than the USA. Different style and originality. I have a very strong interest in the Asian culture. I find Asian people pretty interesting, and the film was well acted by them too. While some of the scenes will want to gross you out and look away from the screen, it can be a bit of an action movie too. The killer in this movie is a pretty scary as hell guy and the actor who played the killer did a phenomenal job. I have a feeling that there will be a US remake on the way since this film is getting so much praise in the US. Wouldn’t surprise me if a US version is coming. If they decide to do a US version, they better do it right! It’s on Netflix, check it out.

FACT CHECK: Obama would NOT BE considered natural US born if he was discovered to be born in Kenya…

KaptainHowdy said:

And you are still ignoring one key detail that I posted above:

And even if Obama was born in Kenya, he is STILL a natural born US citizen by virtue of the fact that his mother was a US citizen. The Constitution does not define what natural born means, but US Code (* U.S.C.`Status by parentage), backed by the Supreme Court does:

If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if

the U.S. citizen parent has been “physically present” in the U.S. before the child’s birth for a total period of at least five years, and
at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent’s fourteenth birthday

That is the United States law regarding children born abroad that defines what “natural born” is.

So as I have stated multiple times already, and you have ignored multiple times already, Obama, as defined bu US Law, is indeed a natural born citizen, even if he was born in Kenya.

I would say KaptainHowdy is wrong on everything. I don’t think he gets his facts straight like he thinks he does.

Here’s how…….

What year was Barack Obama born in? That would be 1961. So considering that Ann Dunham was born in the US and Barack’s father was born in Kenya, this law would fall under, 4-3, “Birth Out of Wedlock to American Mother“. So since Barack was born in 1961, the law says, “A child born abroad out of wedlock on or after December 24, 1952, to a U.S. citizen mother acquires U.S. citizenship if the mother was physically present continuously for 1 year in the United States or its outlying possessions at any time prior to the child’s birth. This did not change under any of the amendments to Section 309 INA.” This stops at November 14, 1986.

So since the law says that a US Citizen parent must be physically present before the child’s birth for a total period of at least 5 years. Think about this for at least 5 minutes. Think, think, think. On August 4th, 1961, was the birth of our President. Ann Dunham was only 18 years old at the time. Hawaii, was made a new state on August 21st, 1959. Do the math people! Ann Dunham was only US Citizen for 2 years prior to Barack’s birth. So guess what? That’s right. Obama does NOT count as natural born US citizen, he’s out! She fails to reach 5 years prior to Barack’s birth. That automatically makes Obama NOT natural born.

While Obama is indeed, a legally US citizen, he wasn’t natural born.

Read this article, fully explaining in better detail than I can, on how Obama is not natural born if it was found that he was born in Kenya. Check it out, here.

On top of all this, an immigrant being President is unconstitutional, straight from the Constitution Article II:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

You guys see why this needs to be looked into and be investigated? If Obama turns out to be Kenyan born and if he was Indonesian citizen, he’s breaking the law. He’ll need to be impeached and be charged with treason. If he’s discovered to be an immigrant, it’s going to kick him in the ass hard. This is why it’s a good idea to offer Barack a lot of money so he can feel good doing it and he won’t feel like he’s doing this for nothing. He could sacrifice himself just to do good service for America, by supporting charity.

If he turns out to be Kenyan born, then he just disrespected and lied to America altogether. He can’t get away with this guys. This is not right for America and something needs to be done about this before he’s re-elected. That’s why it’s a perfect time for Donald to do this announcement, a week before the election.

The Brock’s Horror Film Pick #26: Session 9

I just watched this movie on Netflix last night, so I thought I would do, “Session 9” next which is a psychological horror film. This was a small independent release film. It wasn’t shown in that many theaters but still a very good movie that could have been huge! It’s a film about a small group of men who are asbestos workers. They do work at an abandoned mental hospital in Danvers, Massachusetts. The story focuses on a man named, Gordon, a married man and has a new baby, he is the boss of the asbestos workers, and tries his best to keep them working. As the crew works the large building, they begin to discover it’s dark and evil past, by listening through tapes of a former patient who used to live there, and the past comes back to haunt them.

This is a pretty thrilling movie that will keep you guessing at the end. Creepy as hell too! The acting was pretty good as well. There are twist and turns, and there is a shocker at the end. A lot of people compare this movie, to “The Shining”, but I don’t see how. Totally different story from what I’m seeing. This film is smart and intelligent. It wants to confuse you. Definitely check this one out, if you’re looking for a good Netflix movie this weekend!

My music…

I know some out there, are expecting some new music from me, a new batch of songs, but wait even longer, they will be coming. Honestly, I haven’t written a new song in a long while. I’ll admit that I’ve been on a major writers block for a while, so I decided to learn some guitar instead, trying to improve my talent. I only write when I get inspired, I guess.

I’m not trying to sound like an egomaniac, but the goal with my music that I would like to make the best songs possible. I want to make the kind of music that everyone’s been wanting for a long time that hasn’t got to them. Great songs, played with heart, whether they will be full band or acoustic. I want my songs to be enjoyed by as many people as possible myself, like most songwriters do. I’m not trying to be better than everyone else, just want people to enjoy my songs. Trying everything I can.

Writers block sucks, but I’ll find a way to get over it, soon, and start writing songs like crazy when ever I’m in the mood for it. For lyrics, I just write what’s on my mind, I don’t plan ahead. I’ll get new songs out at some point. Really want to be doing this again. I’ll try to spend the next couple of months songwriting and hopefully, I will return to the music scene playing gigs again next year, 2013.
