To those who say she’s not hot, just don’t want to admit, the guys really want to bang her. I sure would, seriously….sure can’t wait to see her naked tits!!!

Report: Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney Houston confirmed to write book about the late legendary pop star…

This should be an interesting read, and I definitely will read it when it comes out. One thing I love to read are memoirs of music stars. I find that stuff entertaining and addicting for some reason. I think the reason I like to read that stuff so much is that, I want to know what it’s like to be a rock star.

Cissy Houston’s book is set for a Feb. 2013 release date, by Harper Collins.

Film Review: Chernobyl Diaries


Starring: Jesse McCartney
Directed by: Bradley Parker

Today, I decided to go to the mall to get my haircut done, check out a movie and do a little shopping. I ended up seeing the horror film, “Chernobyl Diaries”. I’m a fan of those low budget, found footage movies. Here is my review:

Plot/Synopsis:
Six tourists hire an extreme tour guide who takes them to the abandoned city Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. During their exploration, they soon discover they are not alone.

A lot of people are giving this film negative reviews, but did they see the same film that I saw? I thought it was a pretty good one. I was surprised on how realistic the film was. Even though this film is fiction, it is based on real life events. Remember, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, was actually the real thing in, Ukraine. The 6 tourists wanted to check the place out, and enjoy themselves. They noticed something dangerous about the place already, and next thing you know, they learn that there are all kinds of dangerous animals. Mostly mutated dogs, bears, and there was even mutated fish in the film. Back in the real life story of the 1986 Chernobyl radioactive accident, it actually mutated animals and perhaps, actual humans too.

A lot of people mistakenly called this a zombie film, but after thinking about it, the things in this movie, are not zombies. They are mutants. Animals and humans were mutated by radiation. I was pretty surprised on how real this movie was. Oren Peli, just wanted to remind people of the 1986 Chernobyl accident, which most people seem to have forgotten. Not sure if the actual movie itself was filmed at the Reactor, probably not, because I’m sure the place is still closed down to this day ’cause it might be dangerous to go there still.

Watching the movie, I was even creeped out at some parts in the film. Probably, the scenes where they were exploring the reactor trying to find their missing friends. The acting and directing wasn’t the greatest, but I was most impressed with the reality of the film, that it was based on the real thing. I’m sure these movies will get turned into a series of sequels, so I’m sure the sequels will reveal more secrets of this film. How humans and animals were mutated? How the radioactive accident happened? Things like that. The casting wasn’t the greatest either, but I was most impressed with the blonde girl in the film, who played Zoe. I think her real name is Ingrid Bolso Berdal, who is a Norwegian actress. She’s a pretty hot woman and I couldn’t get my eyes off her.

I thought, “Chernobyl Diaries”, was a good movie. I just wish it got more respect it deserves. It didn’t do well in the box office. Well, most “found footage” movies don’t do too well in the box office. Unless, a “Paranormal Activity” movie comes out, you know it’s going to be a guaranteed hit.

Score for “Chernobyl Diaries” = *** (3 stars as in “good”)

Report: Shawn Johnson, young Olympic gymnast, retires at 20 years old…

I remember watching most of the Beijing Olympics back in 2008, and I remember watching gymnastics a lot, and watching the young, and talented, Shawn Johnson. I remember being pretty impressed with her. It’s a shame that we won’t be seeing her for the Olympics in London this year. She’s retiring at 20 years old, due to a knee injury during a ski accident. Due to the knee injury getting worse and worse, she has no choice but to retire. Usually people retire from sports at an older age, not this young. So this is pretty inspiring.

I love the Olympics, will be watching it a lot this year too.

Why Advanced/Experienced bodybuilders shouldn’t pick on guys with a small built…

Like I said before, I’m tired of the bigger and more ripped guys in fitness, putting down the beginner and the smaller built guys. It’s a pretty common thing that happens in fitness all the time. I do know that the bigger guys do respect the smaller built guys, but the way I’m seeing things, the bigger guys will only start attacking the smaller guys if the smaller guys will be critical to them first. The reason the bigger guys do it is because, they want to show you how it feels when attacking/bashing someone. It’s like a “There, how do you feel like it”, kind of thing. When the bigger and more professional bodybuilders attack the small guys in return, it comes off as very childish. Not only that it’s very childish, it also destroys their reputation as a fitness guru. When you want to be an online fitness guru, you have to be a professional and be respectful toward everything. Be positive but a lot of those guys don’t.

The beginners or smaller built guys have the right to criticize the experienced bodybuilders all we want to. Why is this, you may ask? Because think about… all those fitness gurus goal online is to help get new people in bodybuilding and help out beginners right? If us beginners don’t agree with how they are teaching things or if we don’t like their physiques or disagree with one of their videos, we have the right to call out on that stuff, because, simply the only reason, we just want stuff to work. Us beginners are trying to find source that are true and valid. Something real. It seems that a lot of fitness gurus out there just finds sources that are true only according to “them”. It seems a lot of fitness gurus just make up their own lessons, without any actual facts. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL OUT ON THEIR BULLSHIT. They are all wacky to be honest with you, I just watch fitness gurus online for entertainment purposes and laughs. A lot of these guys give out wrong information, and they seem to make things up as they go along.

If we disagree with their bullshit, and the fitness guru and his fanbase respond to you, it’s actually a good thing. People just want them to put out information that is true and factual, that’s all. This is why you shouldn’t follow the advice of fitness gurus online. I’m sure their little fanbase will think they are giving out the right information, but their fanbase worshipping their hero is just as annoying. Their fanbase can be a lot crazier.

Their fanbase attacks other people’s fitness physiques, when a lot of those people have the worst physiques I’ve ever seen. A lot of them don’t even look natural and most of them look like steroid monsters.

I will adress this in that upcoming video too. It could be a good video that may have potential for a lot of views.

Brock reviews “Game of Thrones – Season 2” with no spoilers…

Well, “Game of Thrones – Season 2” is over with already. I guess HBO is only doing 10 episodes for each season. This season was pretty good. Not the best ever, just pretty good. I just wish the script was better and wish they stayed more true to the books. They left out a lot of important characters. They changed the stories around a little bit, and altering characters like I said before. I can understand why HBO feels the need to do it, since the series is only 10 episodes, and the books are so long that they can’t fit everything in.

The best two episodes this season were the final two, “Blackwater” and “Valar Morghulis”. I guess HBO wanted to save the best for the last. In the season finale last night, “Valar Morgulis”, everything was perfect and beautifully written. It was an amazing episode. It was very dramatic and intense with all the characters. Tyrion Lannister really showed his emotion as the character was upset, and Peter Dinklage did a phenomenal acting job. I think Peter is the best actor out of the cast.

The Daenerys storyline with the Dragons was pretty shocking. I love the Daenerys character, she’s an interesting character. During her segments, a certain someone made a surprise cameo apperaance, I won’t give any spoilers, but it is a character from Season 1.

The Arya and Jaqen story ended in a sad way too.

My only complaint is that I wish they did more with the Brienne Maid of Tarth, character. She didn’t get a lot of screen time. Brienne is supposed to be a brutal and mean character, and she got into way more gruesome sword fights in the books than the TV show. In the books, she’s a tough woman that you won’t even want to piss off, but the TV show made her look weaker.

Game of Thrones – Season 2 was okay this year. Hopefully next year will be better.

Edit to add: While “Game of Thrones” is no longer on, “Breaking Bad” Season 5 will be aired on AMC next month, so that’ll be good TV to keep us busy while “Thrones” and “Walking Dead” are on break.

Recording some of my old songs in garageband…

Before I start writing new songs again, I am planning on re-working some of my older songs from the past. See if I can try and make them full band from garageband on the Ipad. The older songs I’m planning on doing are: “Mr. Tough Guy”, “Time Bomb”, “The Dark War”, “The Nightmare Has Begun Today”, and “Be Home Safe”. “Say Goodbye, Osama”, I think I’m gonna scrap. I’m proud of the tune, I’ll keep the music and the melodies, but the lyrics, I think I’m going to re-write into something totally different. Something not political. I’ve decided I don’t want to write too many political songs. I’ll just write whatever I come up with, just write from the heart and the mind. I want to bring some of my older songs back so they can get known again. I will bring, “Evil Fred” back too, but that’s going to be re-worked a little too. “Evil Fred” has always been an anthem of mine and it’s always the most requested song at my past gigs.

I will write a bunch of brand new songs too, when I get around to it. Garageband is awesome. Great tool to record song ideas down. If I write a good guitar riff that I like, I’ll just record it so I don’t forget it. Garageband is pretty handy for a musician and best music recording software, in my opinion.

I do plan on writing regular acoustic songs too though. I want to do full band stuff mostly, ’cause I want to prove people that I do know what I’m doing musically.

Why bands & musicians shouldn’t obsess with doing interviews…it’s a choice whether you want to or not…

Bands & musicians just love interviews. They just love ’em. Especially the unsigned musicians. Why do musicians love doing interviews for local media so much? Whether doing radio interviews, TV, or on other websites. Musicians love doing them ’cause they think it’s a good opportunity to get more exposure with their music. Plus, they love giving more insight on their careers and music. Personally, I never really liked doing interviews. I don’t mind interviewing other bands for this website, but with my own music, I hate interviews, admittedly.

I did one radio interview back in 2006, and felt kind of weird doing it. I don’t really care for that kind of attention. I think the reason is, that the interviewer will treat you as if you’re some kind of celebrity, when you’re not really. That’s the thing about local media. They like to treat local “musicians” as celebrities. Us local musician aren’t celebrities, we’re human beings. I don’t need to have that, “me, me, me”, kind of attention, know what I mean? It feels kind of weird talking about yourself for like 20 minutes or to an hour, know what I mean? Interviews makes a musician kind of self centered. The interviewer asks a question about you, then you do your best to explain it.

You don’t have to get exposure and do marketing through interviews. You can see if you can be successful and make it without them. So if you get asked for an interview, don’t be afraid to turn them down. I could do an interview if I wanted to, I’m just not a big fan of them. This is why I never did much interviews over the years. I don’t really like talking about what my songs are about and all that stuff. On top of that, I don’t like how my own speaking voice sounds over them (as I admit, I don’t speak too well and could do a little better).

If I wanted to give insight on my music, I can just write all about it here or do it on a videoblog. Maybe I will do an interview for a newspaper if an opportunity ever came up, but a radio interview, I don’t think I’ll do those too much. Interviews are just silly, in my opinion. I do listen to other band interviews, don’t get me wrong. I only listen to interviews if there’s a band that I like.

There are even national bands and solo artists out there that don’t do interviews too much. You don’t have to do interviews if you don’t want to. It’s all up to you.

Will I see, “Snow White and the Huntsmen”???

I don’t think I’ll see this movie in theater. It can wait for DVD rental. The film looks kind of interesting but I’m pretty skeptical of it at the same time. I don’t like how Hollywood try to give their own take on a classic Disney story. Also, I can’t stand Kristen Stewart. I LOVE Charlize Theron, but not Kristen Stewart. I won’t see “Men In Black III” or, “The Huntsmen” in theater.

I still have plans in seeing Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus”, that’s the film that I look most forward to. I plan to see “Prometheus” sometime next week, probably on Monday.

Edit to add: Now that you think of it, Charlize Theron has two different movies out at the same time, she’s in “Prometheus” too. I’ll get to enjoy my Charlize Theron in “Prometheus” even if I won’t see her in “The Huntsmen”.

More on the Florida flesh eating man…

Actually, I find it kind of creepy and a little scary that so many people found the Rudy Eugene story, entertaining and funny. Seriously, cannibalism is no joke and it’s pretty bad. I get this bad feeling that even more people are going to try to eat other people ’cause they think what Rudy had done was cool. They’ll look at him for inspiration and more people are going to want to try it. This is pretty scary and evil stuff.

What if a cannibal person tried to eat you? You wouldn’t be laughing, then would ya?
