The Brock doesn’t deal with negative people!!!

I usually don’t defend myself from negativity about me online, but I felt I need to get this off my chest. I never really understood why certain people that will be nameless, get so obsessed and hung up with talking shit about me online. It’s mostly certain people who I had grudges with in the past, like 5 or 6 years ago and they are still talking shit about me online to this day. I never understood it. It’s just proves my point that people are fucked in the head sometimes, you know? It’s mostly local musicians and their friends that get together with their little gang to have fun talking shit about me and laugh at it.

They have fun with it and they think it’s funny. That’s why they get so addicted to it. Well, honestly, I don’t think what they do is funny. It’s called harassment, and bullying for sure. I’m a human being, and I hurt just like you. They mostly make fun of the way I speak and the way I look. Like I said before, I’m not perfect and neither is everyone else.

If people want to be a total loser and keep doing what they do, that’s fine. Fuck ’em. Fuck ’em all. I’m a happy guy right now, living life and enjoying it. That’s all I care about. Playing my music, and doing the fitness. That’s all I wanna do in life that’s it.

Why do you think I don’t play gigs much around the scene? The negativity of other people who call themselves “musicians” is what I wanted to stay away from. I don’t have time for drama and negativity anymore, guys. That’s no longer, me. I want to stay positive, happy and enjoy life. I don’t care what other people think about me anymore.

I’m done with this kindergarten and pre-school, bullshit. This is part of the reason why I hate this music scene so much. It’s not friendly and lovable that everybody thinks. I tried to be a nice guy, but that’s why you shouldn’t make friends with people around the music scene ’cause you can’t trust anybody. You can make friends with the wrong people.

I only deal with joyful and happy people. I do get supporters and people who treat me with respect, and I appreciate that. So thanks for the true supporters, out there.

Report: “Transformers 4 & 5” to star Jason Statham?

Leave a comment

The third installment to the Transformers trilogy, “Dark of the Moon”, was originally going to be the final film of the series. Due to the huge box office success of the third film, it’s no surprise they are going to keep going with the franchise after this. Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay are in early negotiations to discuss plans to shoot, “Transformers 4 & 5” back to back.

Only thing though, Shia Labeouf, the series main star will not return for the next films. They are very interested in action star, Jason Statham, to star the leading role instead.

Read the full story, here.

I hated the first Transformers movie and the second one, but the third one I actually loved a lot. They did a great job with the 3rd movie, “Dark of the Moon”, it was a great improvement.

I always thought Shia Labeouf was the wrong actor to play in these movies and they are finally starting to understand it. Jason Statham is a better choice. I’m a huge Transformers fan, I just want the movies to be better. I like Jason Statham. I enjoy a lot of his movies. He’s a great action star of this generation.

Crazy stuff, TV, World Wide Web

Report: LOL, Sesame Street youtube channel, hacked with porn…

Leave a comment

null

Yesterday, the Sesame Street youtube channel was briefly hacked with adult porn videos showing up on their page.

Read the full story, here.

This is not going to be the end for them who ever did it. Next they’ll hit the Disney youtube channel or maybe Nikelodeon. They’ll hit any youtube channel that is aimed at the children audience.

To the people behind this, why would they want to do something like this? Offend children and parents with adult porn? I think there’s more of a reason to that.

While porn is obviously banned in youtube, maybe this is their way of bringing it to their attention that porn should be allowed in youtube. Should youtube have an adult section?

Porn should be kept out of youtube. It is banned in youtube for good reasons. If porn was allowed in youtube, then people would be uploading all kinds of crazy things. They also want to keep illegal porn material off the site. I think that’s the main reason why porn is banned in youtube.

Report: Scarlett Johansson was original choice to play Lisbeth Salander but was dropped by David Fincher…

Leave a comment

“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” is on the cover of this month’s “Vogue” magazine, and David Fincher talks about the film in that issue. He said, Scarlett Johansson, was the original choice to play Lisbeth Salander, but she was dropped, and he decided to hire Rooney Mara for the role instead.

David does explain why he dropped Scarlett. He basically said that if he had Scarlett in the movie, everyone will expect her to get naked. Lisbeth was supposed to be like a children’s character (Remember, she was inspired by Pippi Longstocking), so David compared her to, E.T. , to give you an example. He wanted the Lisbeth character to be lovable, like E.T. He felt Scarlett didn’t have that, I guess.  He was impressed with her acting during her audition, though.

Read the full story, here.

I’m sure Scarlett would have done a great job but her boobs are too big. In the book, Lisbeth’s boobs were described as small.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to the “Dragon Tattoo” movie, I will see it in theater and I hope it won’t be disappointing. I’m sure Fincher will do justice with the book.

“Walking Dead – Season 2” premiere review ****Major Spoilers****

Leave a comment

I watched “Walking Dead” – Season 2 premiere last night. I thought it was a pretty incredible episode. While there is a lot of improvements in the writing of last night’s episode, I think there were a few little plot holes, but not that bad. In this episode it takes place after the events of the explosion of the CDC building. Leaving off from where “Season 1” ended.

This review will include major spoilers, don’t read on, if you haven’t even seen it yet.

It’s the scene where Andrea trapped herself in the bathroom of Dale’s RV, and the zombie is trying to get in after her. Dale watches on the roof, and he just hands her a screw driver to attack the zombie with. She takes the screwdriver and stabs the zombie in the eye with it. The big plot hole in this scene is, Andrea was covered with the zombie’s blood & guts. I clearly remembered from the 1st Season during that episode “Guts”, where Rick and Glenn had to cover themselves up with zombie guts, they weren’t allowed to get any of it on their skin, or they would become infected. Well Andrea had the zombie guts all over her, and she was fine. I think that was a big mistake in the writing part. “The Talking Dead” TV show even pointed that out too (yes, I watched that too).

Another thing that didn’t make a bit of sense was the zombie march through the traffic jam. They hid under the cars so they wouldn’t be seen or heard. Don’t zombies have a strong smell for human flesh? They could have just simply looked under the vehicles, and the cast had plenty of time to hide in the woods nearby and wait for them to walk by.

Other than that, it was a great episode. It was scary as hell, gory as hell, yes, it was gorier than last season. Gotta love that Daryl character, he was badass in this episode. I think he’s my favorite character of the show other than Merle, and Shane.

Sophia goes missing and the episode was about the cast searching for her. Sophia was the little girl who is the daughter of Carol and Ed. The show ends with Carl, Rick’s kid getting shot when they were admiring a deer in the woods.

Here is my prediction on what’s going on here. I think Merle (the show’s villain) is behind it all. I think Merle took Sophia and he also shot Carl. They’re trying to keep Merle’s disappearance mysterious. He’s coming back at Rick and his family/friends, for leaving him on the rooftop handcuffed. Merle sawed his own hand off to escape the cuffs.

Will Merle ever appear this season? I hope we don’t have to wait for the final episode but I know he’s still alive.

I’m glad the show is finally back. It’s one of the best shows on television for sure, other than, “Dexter”, and “Game of Thrones”.

Celebrity/musician deaths, sports

RIP: Dan Wheldon 1978 – 2011

Leave a comment

Okay, I am not into car racing much. I don’t watch any of it. I’m not into Nascar, Indy racing or any of that stuff. I’m posting this out of respect. Dan Wheldon, is a British race car driver who races for the, Indy 500. Dan Wheldon was a very popular driver who is considered an icon in the sport.

In today’s race in Las Vegas, the final race for the IZOD IndyCar Series, there was a multiple car crash on lap 12. Most drivers survived, but one of them was killed. The one that was killed happened to be, Dan Wheldon. A young driver at the age of 33, who is married and has two sons.

While this is very sad and tragic, he died what he loved doing, racing. This was a horrible accident. RIP Dan.

Report: Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore separated, what’s going to happen with Sonic Youth now???

Leave a comment

This is not a gossip blog, I hate celebrity gossip, but the reason this news is a big deal is because this might affect the band’s tour and their future. Sonic Youth is a legendary alternative rock band in which Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore both formed together. They formed the band in 1981 and were signed to a major label in 1990. They were one of the most successful rock bands in the 90’s. Sonic Youth is famous for hits: “Kool Thing”, “Teenage Riot”, “100%”, “Schizophrenia”, “Bull In the Heather”, “I Dream, I Dream”, “Tom Violence”, and more.

Sonic Youth has toured with Nirvana in ’91.

Now what the music world is wondering is what the band’s future is going to be? Sonic Youth is still on a pretty lengthy tour with more dates up ahead.

Will Kim and Thurston still tour together? Will one of them quit and get a replacement? Will the band split up and cancel the tour? I’m sure the band is discussing their future right now and they’ll announce something soon.

I was never a big Sonic Youth fan, but I liked their hits. I just never bought their albums. I do respect their legacy. They were a pretty influential band in the 90’s, like them or not.

What do I think will happen with the band? I think they should split. Why? Because Kim and Thurston have always been important members, they are Sonic Youth. Always have been. There can’t be a Sonic Youth without either of them. I have a bad feeling that the band will be done.

Are you ready for some more “Walking Dead” tomorrow night???

Leave a comment

Well, I just got done watching, “Walking Dead – Season 1” on DVD. I was just in the mood for a Walking Dead marathon before the “Season 2” premiere tomorrow. Season 1 was just six episodes so I just watched the first 3 last night and watch the last 3 this afternoon.

I probably already wrote about this a long time ago before but I’m gonna do it again, I’ll talk about my predictions of Season 2 of what’s going to happen. THESE AREN’T SPOILERS, JUST MY PREDICTION!

  • Rick finds out Shane was having an affair with Lori, Rick and Shane don’t get along too well anymore for Season 2. 
  • Merle Dixon returns. Merle only appeared for two episodes in Season 1, I think he’ll be in Season 2 a lot more as the main villain. He’ll come back to get revenge at Rick and his friends.
  • Rick discovers the pilot flying the mysterious helicopter. We saw the mysterious helicopter a few times briefly, Rick tried to flag it down while it was flying in Atlanta but no good. 
  • Rick reunites with Morgan Jones and his son Duane. 
  • The Walking Dead cast loses another major character. They lost Amy and Jim, who’s next? Shane? Lori? Andrea? Maybe even Rick himself? 
  • They reunite with Jim as a walker. Remember, they left Jim on the side of the street because he didn’t want to turn into a walker in front of them. They didn’t kill him or anything, just left him there. When Jim comes back as a walker, will the cast try to kill him or will they have a hard time making that decision? 
I’m looking forward to Season 2 premiere tomorrow night. I hope it’s a good episode and probably will be. Better not disappoint. I’m kind of glad Frank Darabont is gone, because his ideas could use some improvements, and having new writers would help give the show some fresh ideas.
I’m such a huge fan of zombies. I love zombie movies, video games, comics, etc. In addition to help get the “Walking Dead” excitement going, I’ve been playing the video game, “Dead Island” all week. It’s a sweet game too. I’ll review the game when I’m done with it, of course.

Cool Video: ESPN to air a special about wrestler Scott Hall…

Leave a comment

ESPN’s show E60 will air a special about former WWE/WCW star, Scott Hall, who used to be Razor Ramone, and was one of the founders of the nWo wrestling group. Scott has had a long history of battling his addiction of drugs & alcohol, and he is still having problems to this day. His fellow wrestling friends such as Triple H, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Hogan and others tried to help Scott get clean & sober, but it was no good. Scott is still having problems as you can see in this video here.

I really hope Scott Hall gets the help he needs before it’s too late, or else he’s going to be next in line of all those dead wrestlers from the past. I’m even surprised the guy is still alive.

Like Scott Hall or not his wrestling career was really legendary. He had many classic matches and created history with professional wrestling over the years. He was also a tremendous performer & wrestler. I hope he gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame because he certainly deserves it.

It’s sad what he’s become.
