Happy Birthday, Sly!!!

Sylvester Stallone just turned 65 years old today! Happy Birthday to my favorite action star and inspiration. He was the one that inspired me to get into bodybuilding & fitness. Without him, I wouldn’t be doing it.

Love him or hate him, Sly worked so hard to get where he is today. Sly is currently filming the action movie, “Bullet To the Head” directed by Walter Hill.

The video below is a look back at Sly’s career.

Report: Is Jimmy Page teasing musical comeback finally???

Jimmy Page hasn’t done anything new musically since the Led Zeppelin reunion at O2 in England, 4 years ago. After the reunion show, Jimmy tried to make a full time Led Zeppelin tour. Jimmy, Jonesy and Jason were down with the tour but Robert wasn’t. Robert was being a pain in the ass about it and vowed not to do it since he claimed he’s getting too old for the rock n’ roll thing. So the guys in Led Zep ended up scraping the tour. Jonesy collaborated with Them Crooked Vultures super group and Jason moved on to other musical projects. So now, everyone is asking, what’s next for Jimmy Page?

Is Jimmy finally out of his musical hiatus and making a comeback?

Jimmy Page just launched his official website: here….

Not much on there, it’s just a countdown thing. 8 days left with the Roman Numerals and the Hourglass, which means the full website will be unveiled next Thursday, July 14th.

What will Jimmy unveil on that website? Will he announce a new solo album? That’s what it’s looking like to me. I’m hoping a new album and tour. We need new music from Jimmy Page. He’s one of my favorite guitarists, my no. 1 guitar hero. He’s the reason I play.

I just hope he won’t be announcing Led Zeppelin re-issues or boxed sets. I hope a new solo album with new original music by Jimmy Page!!! Will Jimmy’s new solo album will be all instrumental or will he be working with different singers?

We’ll have to wait until next week. Can’t wait. It’s about time he’s coming back to music. I think he’s ready to rock out again!!!

Thought: Fame & Fortune next for Casey Anthony???

Another popular topic about Casey Anthony on the internet is fame & fortune going to happen for her? It could happen if that’s what she wants. As a matter of fact, she already is famous because of the trial itself, but will she get a career out of it? Maybe a memoir deal, maybe she’ll get acting jobs for movies/TV, maybe she’ll get a reality show, etc. All of this could be possible, but whatever she does, I wouldn’t support anything she does in her future career in the entertainment business. Yes, Hollywood would probably make a biopic film about her life with someone else playing Casey. The TV show, “Dexter” on Showtime might even do an episode about her for “Season 6” also. Don’t be surprised if that’s coming first.

The fact is, the entertainment industry will be all over the Casey Anthony case. They could even make video games and comic books based on this story if they wanted.

I know, another Casey Anthony post but I just had to get this one off my chest.

Thought: Casey Anthony’s defense team celebration after trial in bad taste? I would say so, yes…

This has been the most talked about debate online ever since the Casey Anthony trial got over with. TMZ posted shocking photos of Casey Anthony’s defense team celebrating with champagne toasts. They are clearly partying and celebrating.

Yep, Team Jose Baez partied it up at Terrace 390, the restaurant across the street from the court house. I can see how this topic is debatable. Some people say there is nothing wrong with it, and that they are celebrating for Casey Anthony’s freedom. Some say it’s sick & disgusting because it makes Caylee looks bad.

Well I’m going to have to agree that Casey Anthony celebration is pretty sick & disgusting. Why? This is why.

When a suspect is not guilty of murder and he/she celebrates their freedom after the trial, it makes it looks like you’re celebrating the death of the victim. Period. It also shows that all they cared about is being victorious and winning everything. These people should be grieving over the death of Caylee Anthony. Instead, they go to the bar across the street to toast champagne glasses, smile, laugh, and dance like teenage high schoolers. I bet the celebration idea was Casey’s herself ’cause everyone knows she’s a hard partier.

Sure, I understand that when a person is acquitted of murder can be exciting but if you wanted to celebrate after a murder trial, you do it at home in your own privacy. Celebrating at a public bar where the whole world can see, makes them looks like assholes who don’t even care about Caylee. It also shows that Casey doesn’t care about her own daughter one bit.

There are some Casey Anthony supporters online and it’s pretty crazy. Those that support Casey and thinks she innocent are mostly people around her age. Casey fans are probably party animals themselves.

In the video below, I give credit for this guy for stopping the Jose Baez celebration at the bar. In this video, this guy is trying to call out Jose Baez but of course, the police joins in. Enjoy the video. This guy should be given an award.

Dexter Morgan’s popularity suddenly got big today…

While the Casey Anthony “Not Guilty” verdict was a bad thing, the good thing that got out of this, was that it helped Dexter Morgan get recognized more. Dexter is a hit show on the Showtime channel, in which, the character is played by Michael C. Hall. Dexter is a fictional serial killer who only killed other criminals. The reason it helped Dexter’s popularity was that the show Dexter is taken place in Miami, Florida while the Casey Anthony case was in Orlando. Different cities, but in the same home state. Everyone could picture Dexter taking Casey Anthony as his next victim for “The Code”.

This will certainly help the ratings with “Dexter – Season 6″ coming up.

I’m a huge fan of Dexter as you readers know, it’s one of my favorite TV shows ever. Other than ‘Game of Thrones”, “The Walking Dead’, and “Friday Night lights”. “Dexter” is really high up on the list too. Can’t wait for Season 6.

You gotta wonder what OJ is thinking right now…

I’m pretty sure OJ Simpson is sitting in prison right now in Nevada thinking about the Casey Anthony trial today, and I’m pretty sure he have been paying attention to it like most of us. I’m sure OJ heard about the “not guilty” Verdict and it probably reminded him about his past. I’m not sure how inmates in his Nevada prison keeps up with national news, maybe they let them watch TV a little bit or read the papers or listen to the radio, but I’m sure OJ have heard about it by now.

I’m sure everyone wants his thoughts but who knows, maybe he’ll speak about it soon if the prison lets him. Maybe he’ll agree if she did it or not.

I can see why people would compare this Casey Anthony trial to OJ. It’s very similar in a creepy way.The media will probably want to ask OJ about this in prison, but it’ll be interesting to hear what he has to say about it.

Report: Charlie Sheen finally gets a new TV gig, will get roasted on Comedy Central…

Comedy Central has found a new guest, and surprise? Who is it? None other than the Tigerblood, Charlie Sheen. Comedy Central’s “Roast” is a  show where they have celebrities sit and listen to a bunch of comedians bash them publicly on camera. Denis Leary was the first Roastee. Other roastee’s were, Jeff Foxworthy, Pam Anderson, Larry the Cable Guy, William Shatner, Bob Saget, Donald Trump and more.

Comedy Central, “Roast” with Charlie Sheen, will air the same night “Two and a Half Men” returns to TV.

Deadline reports:

I’m gonna have to watch this.

What comedians should go on the show to roast Charlie? Well I know Comedy Central are going to try and get Jon Cryer and Chuck Lorre. Both who Charlie had fallen outs with. That be great if Comedy Central could get Jon and Chuck. I know Comedy Central will try to ask Chuck Lorre so hopefully Mr. Lorre will accept. Charlie Sheen bashed Chuck Lorre online so many times, it would be great if Chuck could get his payback, would be entertaining!

Other celebrities I would like to see get on to roast Charlie: Denis Leary, Andrew Dice Clay, Snoop Dogg, Dana Carvey, Gary Busey, Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland (Charlie’s former, “Young Guns” star), and Denise Richards.

That is all. Looking forward to it! Gonna be funny!

BREAKING NEWS: First OJ, now Casey Anthony…de ja vu???

The verdict was read today and surprise, surprise, guess what, folks? Casey Anthony is acquitted of 1st degree murder. Found not guilty. It is fucking bullshit. I think she got away with it, just like OJ. If she didn’t kill Caylee, then who did?

As expected, the not guilty verdict of “1st degree murder” created controversy on the web. It’s all over twitter and facebook.

Casey was found guilty of a couple of charges but they were just “providing wrong information to law enforcement” which is nothing big. So this means, she probably won’t get any prison time. She might get put on probation and that’s about it, nothing major.

This is going to make Nancy Grace happy and I’m looking forward to seeing her response to this.

Yep, she got away with it, un-fucking-believable. If Caylee was my daughter, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. If I was in this situation, I wouldn’t give up until Casey is behind bars and she gets the death penalty.

Casey Anthony trial gets the night off, jury deliberations continue tomorrow…

Well Judge Perry gave the jury the night off during the Casey Anthony trial. The jury needs more time. The deliberations will continue early in the morning. Will the Verdict be read tomorrow? Probably. It depends how long the jury needs.

Casey Anthony is definitely guilty of “1st degree murder”. She killed her own child in cold blood. If she’s acquitted, that would be shocking and it would create controversy, if she walked out an innocent woman, but judging by the evidence of trial, she’s definitely guilty, 100%.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the trial tomorrow live stream.

I’m off to kick some ass in Duke Nukem for the rest of the evening.

Thinking about giving up music? Don’t be a quitter!!!

Over the years, I have seen plenty of musicians give up music or thinking about giving it up. It still continues with other musicians as well. My question is, why? Yes, some musicians feel guilty that they suck and don’t have what it takes to be a musician. Some musicians feel guilty that they can’t stay in a band. Some musicians get bored with music. Some musicians feel guilty when they can’t get success with their music. Some musicians give up because their career was treated in a negative direction by other musicians and music fans. There’s a lot more reasons why musicians give up or thinking about giving up music.

I came this close to giving up on my music for some of these reasons, honestly. Basically because, I thought I was going no where with it. I was having trouble booking gigs. Venues make booking gigs so difficult and ridiculous around here. Plus, I came close to hanging it up because I became fed up with the negativity I get from people in the music scene. You know, getting wrongly criticized and judge by other musicians and fans.

When you want to become a full time musician and put yourself out there for the world to see, yes, you’re going to get your share of love and hate. If you want to succeed in music and make your dreams come true, you have to be strong, and ignore all the bullshit. Simply put, fuck everybody. You only care about your music, the love of playing your instrument and that’s it. You have to be strong. Have to have balls if you want to get out there.

You can’t let negativity bring you down. You only care about the people who support you as a musician and care about your fans. Ignore all the haters & doubters.That’s why people talk shit about you because they want to put you down and put your dreams to an end. Don’t let it get to you. Stay out of drama of any kind.

Yes, you will get musicians who you thought they supported you when they really didn’t, but fuck ’em, right? While Albany continues to be a shit music scene, just keep playing your music. Don’t be a quitter. You shouldn’t give up something you love. Those musicians who did give it up (not naming names), you will regret it down the road, trust me. One day you’ll wish you never gave it up.

That’s why I came back to music. I thought to myself, “You know, I shouldn’t be a quitter”.
