I'm a musician, singer/songwriter, blogger, writer, poet, bodybuilder, movie lover, music lover, video gamer, history/political buff, conservative/republican, etc. I like to do a lot of things.

I would like to start a Blu Ray collection but…

I love Blu Ray discs. I would love to start collecting them. If I did, I would only buy the movies on Blu Ray’s that are my favorite films. The reason is, Blu Ray movies are very expensive. As a matter of fact, I have already started a Blu Ray collection but only own 2 so far. They are “WWII in HD” and “Memento – The 10th Anniversary Edition”. I didn’t buy “Memento”. It came to me in the mail for free, since I helped promote this company that wanted me to spread the word about the “Memento 10th Anniversary” screening. The company gave me two copies of the “Memento” Blu Ray. One to keep for myself, and the other to give away for a contest for my site, which I will plan something soon. I will play a trivia game on any random Christopher Nolan movie. Not just “Memento”, any of them. The first person gets the questions right will be an immediate winner of the Blu Ray. I will start this contest very soon, just got to plan out instructions, rules, and questions.

Yes, sometimes movie companies mail me free things after helping promoting for them in this blog. I don’t do this blog for money, but I don’t mind getting free DVD’s or Blu Ray’s from  movie companies which has happened before. I got a free “Family Guy – Season 6” box set for helping them promote the 100th episode in this blog.

See, this is another reason I blog. Hoping to attract the attention of the  movie business and Hollywood, and it’s slowly working. This is one of the reasons I don’t give up what I do. My goal with this site, is I hope this site will be more like “Deadline.com” or “AICN”, yes, I’ll admit it, I’m kind of competing with them a little bit. Hoping this site will one day get national exposure. I’m not afraid to say that.

I’ve even gotten “Exclusive” news items like once or twice before in the past.

Back to the topic of Blu Ray’s, while I would like to start buying them someday, that still doesn’t mean I will give up DVD’s. I will continue to buy DVD’s if I want to blind buy a movie I haven’t seen which I continue to do. Blu Ray’s are very nice and impressive, definitely better than DVD, but they are too pricey, but the price on Blu Ray’s are fair since I’m sure it was pricey for them to make.

I will videotape the “Memento” contest, so I can prove that a movie company really did sent me this. It will come soon.

RIP: Mike Starr 1966 – 2011

Alice In Chains, the legendary Seattle grunge band, have lost another one. First they lost their important front man, Layne Staley, and now they lose their long time bassist, Mike Starr. Mike was one of the founding members of Alice in Chains, he played in the band from when they first started all the way ’til, 1993. Mike Starr left Alice In Chains due to his drug addiction and wanted to get clean by joining the cast to Dr. Drew’s reality show, “Celebrity Rehab” on, Vh-1. Mike Starr was found dead yesterday, in Salt Like City, his cause of death haven’t been announced yet, but everyone is speculating that it could be a drug overdose.

Alice In Chains is one of my favorite bands of all times. I feel bad for Jerry and the guys in AIC, that they have to go through another death when they just lost, Layne. Sad news. RIP Mike Starr. Sad loss in the music industry.

Report: Stallone will NOT write or direct the sequel to “The Expendables” but he will star…

Sylvester Stallone, have decided to pass the torch the writing and directing job to someone else for the sequel to, “The Expendables”, movie. The script have already been written and handed in. The script was written by, David Agosto and Ken Kaufman.

A director haven’t been hired yet, however, Stallone himself have been meeting with a list of directors and found one that could get the job, but was not authorized to speak about that director’s name publicly.

More on the story, here.

This is actually a good idea. The first, “Expendables” movie was pretty good, but it wasn’t Stallone’s best action movie. The story and the acting wasn’t that great, but the action scenes were of course, a blast to watch. The first “Expendables” movie needed a lot of improvements. Maybe Sly wants the next movie as an opportunity for it to be a much better film than the first.

Hopefully, the next film will give Bruce and Arnold a longer role. Probably will. Hopefully, Jean Claude Van Damme and Kurt Russell will star in the next one as well.

Who will take over Sly’s directing job? I would like Christopher Nolan to, but he’ll be too busy with the next “Superman” and “Batman” flicks for the next several years.

Other good choices would be: Kathryn Bigelow, Clint Eastwood, Robert Rodriguez, or he could re-team with Renny Harlin.

Internet haters…

I was gonna do this on video, but then I figure it would be better to do it here instead.

Yes, I still seem to be getting haters on the internet, but that’s okay with me. Some people make the mistake that I might be upset or pissed off that people talk trash about me online in a hateful manner, but to tell you the truth, it doesn’t bother me. It used to bother me in the past, but I’ve been dealing with haters for so long that it’s gotten to the point where I get used to it. So now, I’m used to it.

It’s just people with nothing better to do. They just go online, go around the internet, looking for quotes that I say to make fun of or laugh at. They pick out things I write whether it’s on here or twitter or in youtube. People even like Rayford Faulkner go as far as making videos to talk trash about me. It’s also mostly musicians online that go around to find things to laugh at about me.

Look, if you were a real musician or whatever, then you’ll just concentrate on your own thing but nope, you’re just this bored and obsess with me instead. What’s wrong with that picture? I don’t care what people think or say about me. I’m better than that. All I care about are two things: 1) Working out at the gym 2) Playing my guitar. That’s it.

Sure, I’m not always right all the time of the things I say in this blog. I’ll admit it, I say stupid things sometimes that I shouldn’t have said but hey, we’re not perfect, right? Everybody says stupid and wrong things all of the time. It’s pretty normal.

Most of the things I say on here, I mean well. I will always support the 1st Amendment and Freedom of Speech. I will always stand behind it and will always support it.

From the Constitution itself:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Learn it, live it, support it. I know Freedom of Speech works both ways, so if you want to hate me, go for it. As Charlie Sheen would say, I would say his quote in my version, “You’re either on Team Brock or you’re with the trolls”.

I too have been a target where people make nasty lies, rumors about me that are not true. I try my best to  destroy the nasty internet tabloids, but they just keep coming.

I got good things going, I’m a pretty happy guy these days and prefer to keep it this way. Internet trolls will not bring me down, although they try, so keep trying. My life isn’t perfect but nobody’s perfect.

I’m just a guy that enjoys speaking my mind. That’s just me. That’s what I blog for to publicly express myself. It’s good for the mind. That’s all I have to say about this for now.

Thought: I think it’s a possibility that Charlie isn’t really clean!

When Charlie Sheen claims he’s clean and not on drugs currently, do you believe him? After seen the last few “Sheen’s Korner” videos, you can tell he’s on to something. The way he speaks and the way he moves his head a lot. Notice his head shakes sometimes when he’s speaking. He looks very nervous at times too. It might be possible that he could be lying about being clean. Maybe this is why he refuses to get help when offered?

He’s definitely a heavy smoker ’cause every video he’s smoking a cigarette.

Sheen is only famous for being famous. He was born into fame because his father, Martin is an actor too. Martin is the one that got Charlie a cameo for “Apocalypse Now”, Charlie’s acting debut.

Edit to add: The point of this post, what I’m saying, from what I’ve seen through those, “Sheen’s Korner” videos, is that he isn’t looking good at all, health wise. Scary stuff.

Not a Cool Video: Charlie Sheen bashes Chuck Lorre in latest “Sheen’s Korner” episode…

In a short episode of the latest, “Sheen’s Korner”, Charlie bashes Chuck Lorre, the creator of “Two and a Half Men”. Charlie is looking pretty upset in this video.

See it, here.

I’ll admit that I’m kind of scared for Charlie. It is pretty scary of what he’s going through.

Report: “Tomb Raider” re-boot, officially green lighted!!!

GK Films, have announced that they have green lighted, the “Tomb Raider” series.

Read the full story here at, Deadline.

I loved the first, “Tomb Raider” flick, it was actually a great film. I hated the second one though, “Cradle of Life” that was a shit movie. I can see why they’re re-booting since the second one wasn’t that great.

I hope they do a good job with the re-boot. Now that Angelina Jolie is officially out, who do I think will replace?

I’d like to see these 5 actresses replace Angie:

-Michelle Rodriguez

-Minka Kelly

-Noomi Rapace

-Mila Kunis

-Rhona Mitra

Rhona Mitra would probably be the best choice of them all. Why? Because she played the voice overs for Lara Croft for a few Tomb Raider video games, plus, she starred in “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” movie. Rhona would be more fitting.It would be great if Rhona plays Lara in a live action film. She did voice over for Lara in a video game but not for a film. She deserves this opportunity. Rhona have done lots of action movies, so she can handle her own stunts.

Report: Phil Collins explains his retirement, wants to spend more time with kids…

Ever since Phil Collins announced his retirement from music for good, the media and fans have speculated all kinds of nasty rumors on why he is quitting. Rumors like he is having health problems, hearing loss, etc. He also shoots down rumors that he is not quitting music because of bad press, and shoots down the Alamo rumors.

The real reason, he wants to spend time with his kids and family. Read Phil’s message, here.

Well, there you have it. Phil is perfectly fine, he doesn’t have health problems or hearing loss, he just wants to spend time with his family.

I think he’s full of crock though, I think he’ll be back. Maybe not this soon, but you know he’s lying.

Report: Primus returns with new album and tour…

Primus has reunited for a short tour and new album. While it’s disappointing that Primus won’t be playing anywhere near the Capital District area, a new album is good news, though. I’m a Primus fan, I love their music as well. Primus will be releasing a new studio album this Summer, not yet titled, and a tour to support it. They will be one of the headlining acts at this year’s Bonnaroo.

See the news, here.

Report: Tammy Sytch aka Sunny, officially a WWE Hall of Famer!!!

Tammy Sytch aka Sunny, the original and the very first WWE Diva, have officially made the WWE Hall of Fame. It was announced on RAW last night. Remember, she started the sexual image in wrestling entertainment, so this inductee is well deserved, like her or not. She may have not been in WWE for that long, but she’s a legend in many ways. She’ll be inducted along with Shawn Michaels, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and a few others.

Why didn’t she stay in WWE that long? I read that she was fired, but her and WWE must be in good terms now, since she made it. Maybe she’ll make a future return or be part of a match at Wrestlemania?
