Hope all readers are having a fun weekend. I know, it’s been very hot all weekend. This weekend I decided to take Memorial Day weekend all for myself. Take the entire weekend off from music, fitness, etc. Enjoy the weekend for myself. Watching more of “Lost – Season 2” and catching up with some reading of the “Game of Thrones” novel.
Played a little more “Mortal Kombat” too. This is the best “Mortal Kombat” game ever made, in my opinion. The game play is amazing, and the graphics are killer. I love the new characters they put in too. The fighting moves aren’t that hard to learn either. Only thing I have a tough time trying to figure out how to do on the game is the finishing moves, but I’ll get it with practice. I’m just playing the Arcade, “Tower” games in “Mortal Kombat”. I’m not playing the storyline or online yet, I want to get the hang of the game first and learn it. I plan to play “Mortal Kombat” for a long while and when I get bored of that game, I’ll start “L.A. Noire”.
For all the men and women in the military who served our country, thanks for what you do. That is what my song “Be Home Safe” is about. The song is about love, peace and war if you listen to the lyrics. It’s a song dedicated to all people who served for our country.
Looking forward to my June 4th gig. I hope to put on the best performance as possible. I’ve been working so hard on my music and practicing a lot. I really want people to start seeing me as a musician and live performer. I vow to do what I can to achieve that dream.

David Fincher’s redband teaser for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” leaks on the internet a week early. The film looks amazing and I’m already very excited for the film. David Fincher is a phenomenal film maker, I love the guy’s work. I’m sure this film will be great. The Lisbeth Salander character deserves to get known in the US.
Trent Reznor covered Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” with Karen O (singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) on the lead vocals.
This is a well made trailer. A perfect way to get everyone pumped up for the film. Can’t wait! The HD version of this trailer should hit online next week.

Last night, I finally saw the movie “Faster”, a Netflix DVD rental starring Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton. The story tells of a man who was a former con-man who is out to avenge the murder of his brother, after he was double-crossed by other men he worked with during a bank robbery years back and now he plans on killing them all. Dwayne Johnson plays an un-named Driver, in which he drives a classic car that is pretty powerful and drives fast.
I thought this was Dwayne Johnson’s best action flick. I know Dwayne tries to do other genres like family films, comedy and drama flicks, but to be honest, I think action movies is where Dwayne belongs in. He’s more successful in the action genre, I think we all know that. The writing and the plot was actually pretty good. It’s a good revenge story. Good casting too. I like Billy Bob Thornton in the movie. Maggie Grace the former “Lost” star played the killer’s girlfriend in the film. Mike Epps just ruled.
The violence in this movie is brutal and can get graphic too. Dwayne played a lot of tough guys in his action flicks over the years, but I think this is his best tough guy role. Dwayne doesn’t talk much in this movie, “Faster”. He just goes around and does his job, killing the people responsible for the murder of his brother. There are some twist and turns in the writing, so the movie was unpredictable. It did a good job trying to make you think whether or not Dwayne’s character, the Driver, was good or evil.
I love Dwayne, the action star, and he needs to keep doing action movies. I haven’t seen “Fast Five” yet, but I’ll wait on DVD on that one. I really hope Dwayne gets casted for the “Expendables” sequel because Dwayne and Sly Stallone would be a great team up. I can see Dwayne playing a good villain in “The Expendables” sequel where Sly and the Rock have a major fight scene. So come on Sly, get the Rock for the next “Expendables” movie.
I thought “Faster” was the best action movie that came out this year. Do yourself a favor and check it out soon.

One thing that the internet seems to enjoy doing is call me a mentally handicapped or a retarded person. You know what? I get that quite a lot. I have no choice but to deal with it and ignore it all. Funny thing is, that a lot of people who call me this are mostly people who don’t even know me as a person. It’s mostly people who haven’t even met me as well. Believe what you want to believe. I’m not mentally retarded or handicapped or what ever you want to call me.
This isn’t high school, kids. In the adult world, you don’t call other people that. It’s disrespectful and wrong. If I was right there in front of your face, would you say that to me in person? No, I didn’t think so. If someone said that to my face, I wouldn’t be very friendly either.
I never judged other people. No matter who they are or what they look like, you’re no better than others. Anybody who says this stuff deserves a punch in the face.
“Handicapped” or “Retarded” are the wrong words to describe those kind of people anyway. It’s offensive and childish. I may not speak perfectly, I may not be a hot looking guy, and may still have a lot to learn, but that doesn’t mean I’m “handicapped” or “retarded”.
People who call others those things are probably low lives with nothing going on. People like that need to grow up.

With “American Reunion” coming out soon, this inspired me to do a list of my favorite comedy films of all times. I need to have a good laugh once in a while.
I’ll name 15 of my favorites at the top of my head, in no particular order. Enjoy the list, all.
There are plenty of more comedies I enjoy, but the ones I listed above are my absolute favorites.

Famous for his role as Kenickie for the musical movie, “Grease” and also for “Taxi”, “Babylon 5”, actor Jeff Conaway has died today. He had lots of health and personal issues over the years. He was suicidal and had depression issues. According to his wikipedia, the reason he turned out this way because he was a victim of a pedophile and child pornographers when he was a child. He became a drug addict as a teenager. He has been a long time cast member for Dr. Drew Pinsky’s show, “Celebrity Rehab”. Dr. Drew Pinsky said he did not die of a drug overdose but “pneumonia with sepsis”. Jeff Conaway, was 60 years old.

Now you can call this an official, “American Pie” reunion because the whole gang is confirmed to return! Just announced today, Shannon Elizabeth is on board to reprising her role as Nadia for “American Reunion”.
The first movie made her famous because of her nude scene in the film. I’m pretty sure she’ll have another nude scene for the new, “American Reunion”, film too.
Deadline, reports.
I really loved the first, “American Pie” movie, but I didn’t like the sequels though. The first one was actually a great film.
While I mostly watch action, horror and drama films…I like to watch a comedy once in a blue moon. Watching a funny comedy can really brighten up your mood.
Maybe I’ll write up a list of some of my favorite comedy films of all times.

Well this took long enough, did it?
Peter Jackson the man himself, took to his facebook page to announce the big news that Orlando Bloom has finally signed the deal to reprise his role as Legolas for, “The Hobbit” movie.
If we can get Sean Astin back as Sam, then we’re set!

Amy Winehouse, the UK pop star, has turned herself into rehab once again. She wants to sober up for her upcoming European tour this summer.
TMZ, reports.
Some people find it weird but I fucking love Amy Winehouse. I love her music. I wish she would go back in the studio to record a new album, because she hasn’t done a new one since “Back to Black”. I hope her rehab goes well, ’cause I have this feeling it won’t. She might have to cancel her shows in Europe if she doesn’t get well.
