Slash’s “Apocalyptic Love” is probably the best album of 2012 so far!!!

Leave a comment

I was very impressed by this album. Probably the best work Slash has ever done. I listened to this album a couple of times and you hear something new with every listen. I’m probably gonna be addicted to this album. This album sounds like a Guns N’ Roses record. It’s got that old school GN’R sound. Wow. No wonder Axl hates Slash! Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of this album. He sang the lead through every song. This album doesn’t have different vocalists like the last record Slash did. Myles sings just like Axl, except Myles is a way better singer than Axl. This is Slash’s best guitar work too. This album makes you want to forget Guns N’ Roses.

I hate most mainstream rock music ’cause it’s mostly pop stuff to be honest, but it’s very rare that something really good will come out and this is one of them. You don’t have to be a longtime fan of Guns N’ Roses either, to enjoy this album. It’s very good. I’m probably going to listen to this a lot and you should get it as well.

Thought: Why you shouldn’t learn fitness from those so called, “guru’s” in youtube…

Leave a comment

Yes, I completely understand that people don’t want to pay anything to learn to get ripped, and achieve the body of their dreams. So people go online looking for free information and there are tons of guys (or even women) in youtube trying to teach people how to get a ripped body. They go in there, giving workout advice, teaching different workouts and they give you nutrition advice. It’s mostly the experienced bodybuilders with the successful physiques teaching fitness, and they just want to pass along how they achieved it. All that is great, and wonderful how people want to help people, don’t get me wrong, but… you can’t trust their source.

You also have to be careful of their scams, ’cause some of them will want donations. You also have to watch out for the supplement products they push out there. When they teach workouts, their form is not always good. So you must be careful on that too. As I already stated on that video, some of these guys are almost always opinionated on stuff. Not giving actual facts. Sure, there are like one or two fitness gurus who really know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about. I’m also sure people have gotten results out of some of these online fitness gurus. The thing is, you can’t trust everything you see online.

I’m a self taught bodybuilder. I learned from Arnold’s “Encyclopedia” mostly, and I learned from other people locally around the Greenwich area. I just watch how other people did things in the gym. I would also try to learn new workouts from bodybuilding.com. I found my own ways of learning things. It is very strange how too many people go online to support these guru bodybuilders who don’t even look natural even though they claim to be.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to learn about bodybuilding. All you need is a set of dumbbells, your own gym membership, learn a few workouts for each body part, and a clean nutrition, that’s it!  I don’t want to have a Mr. Olympia kind of look. I think that look is kind of silly and disgusting. I just want a natural looking, medium physique. I respect the competitors out there, but that’s not my thing. Like I always say, I just want to get in decent shape.

Don’t learn from these so called fitness guru’s online. Like I said on the video, they’re all a bunch of whack jobs, and I meant it too!

Report: Angelina Jolie to sit in the director’s chair for, “50 Shades of Grey”, movie???

Leave a comment

Deadline is reporting, that there is a rumor going around that Angelina Jolie, is in talks to direct the hot and steamy novel, “50 Shades of Grey”, into a big screen movie. As expected, Hollywood is already on the move to make that novel into a big screen movie.

Some may not like the choice of Angie being the director, but I think it’s perfect. Why? Since the novel is about kinky sex and bondage stuff, Angie is into that. I would think she would know what she’s doing. Do a little research on her past. She took some bondage photos during her modeling days in her earlier career. She used to be a wild woman back then, and I’m sure she still is.

On top of that, Angie has been in a few erotic movies herself: “Gia”, “Original Sin”, etc. I hope the rumor is true. By the way, I haven’t read the book yet. I still have it on my Ipad. Will read it soon.

Report: Donald Trump planning to build movie studio much larger than Universal Studios in Florida…

Leave a comment

Donald Trump, is known to have a huge empire. He owns everything from casinos, hotels, etc. Well, he’s looking to expand his empire even more. He’s planning to build a movie studio called, “Trump Studio City”, and that would double the size of Universal Studios. If this studio is built, it could be the biggest studio on Earth.

The Hollywood Reporter, reports.

Can The Donald’s ego get any bigger?

Report: Megadeth heckled off the stage at Croatia Metalfest…

Leave a comment

I thought this was pretty interesting so I had to post it here. Here is Megadeth performing at Croatia Metalfest, but they were forced off the stage ’cause they were getting heckled pretty badly by the crowd. The heckling got so out of hand, that the crowd were throwing rocks at Megadeth and other things. What were they mad about? Well, they blame it on Dave that the band, Wasp, refuses to play that night, because of an argument. It’s just a rumor that Megadeth wasn’t getting along with Wasp, and that’s what the crowd was pissed at Megadeth about.

While pretty much the whole crowd were hating on Megadeth… sticking up their middle fingers throughout their whole set, chanting, “We Want Wasp”, booing, and throwing things… Megadeth still had some supporters in the audience. How you can tell that Megadeth still had supporters in the audience? They were holding up devil horns with their fingers, chanting, “Megadeth”, and just dancing/singing along with their music.

In my opinion, this crowd are a bunch of assholes and being disrespectful to Megadeth. Sounded like Megadeth was putting on a rocking performance like they usually do, and the crowd was just being rude. So those pricks, deserve to get their show cut. I like Wasp too, don’t get me wrong, they were a good 80’s hair metal band. Hopefully this isn’t a new feud with Megadeth. Dave feuded with enough bands in the past. I’m sure Dave Mustaine himself, will speak out on this soon. I’m looking forward to hearing his thoughts. He always have interesting things to say.

Cool Video: Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” trailer is finally here!!!

Leave a comment

Things to watch out for in this film: 1. Foot fetish cameos 2. An actress to steal the show (most likely Kerry Washington will have a scene that will make the audience go crazy, Tarantino is usually good at giving women the best scenes) 3. Tarantino to give himself a cameo in this movie?

I really can’t wait for this movie. I’m a huge Tarantino fan, love all of his movies, that includes, “Jackie Brown”, and “Death Proof”, they’re both great films as well.

Enjoy the trailer here. It’s too bad Kurt Russell dropped out of this movie though, I really wanted to see him in this.

WWE news

John Layfield, former WWE star, planning to climb the Seven Summits for a good cause…

Leave a comment

John Layfield is a former WWE Star, who used to wrestle under the name of Bradshaw, he was tag team partners with Farooq (the Accolytes, APA) and then he went as a single wrestler under the name of JBL, wearing a cowboy hat and a suit as you see above. John was forced to retire from wrestling due to a broken back. Now he is living over in, Bermuda. Doing work for a program with kids, coaching kids to play Rugby. More info, here.

John is planning to raise money for a good cause, by climbing the Seven Summits.

Yep, he is 45, and his back is not in good shape at all, and he’s serious on climbing to the top of the Seven Summits. Planning to climb all seven peaks? Yes, people in the past have climbed all 7 peaks successfully without death, but can John do it without giving up or killing himself?

This guy has balls. He is crazy to do this with his bad back, but I wish him the best of luck and I hope he can do it. He seems like a good guy, and he’s pretty inspiring. I’ll be keeping an eye out on his adventures in facebook ’cause I know he’s going to be posting plenty of videos and photos while climbing the mountain. I hope he survives the climb. He is known as a “wrestling god”, right? Well, I hope he’ll become a “climbing god”. Good luck, JBL!

See John’s announcement about it, here.

RIP: Ray Bradbury 1920 – 2012

Leave a comment

Whether you’re a science fiction reader or not, I’m pretty sure you might have read a book by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury have been a part of everyone’s lives. I’m sure you’ve read at least one book or two in English class out loud with your teacher. I’m sure you’ve seen some of his movies adapted from his books. Ray Bradbury is not just a science fiction writer. He also wrote: horror, fantasy, and mystery. He is most famous for, “Fahrenheit 451”, “The Martian Chronicles”, “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, and “The Illustrated Man”.

Bradbury was born in and grew up in Waukegan, Illinois. He was a reader and writer pretty much his whole life. His work over the years were inspired by his favorite authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. He was inspired to write science fiction by the Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers characters, then he began writing short science fiction stories in 1938 for fanzines. Bradbury’s first published story was titled, “Pendulum”, which was published for “Super Science Stories” in November of 1941. Ray Bradbury only wrote 11 novels over the years, but he published plenty of short stories more than his novels. His work was a huge influence in Hollywood film, as there were plenty of movies adapted from his work. Bradbury’s work continues to inspire people to this day.

Ray Bradbury, died in Los Angeles, California, he was 91 years old.
