Cool Video: Pixar joins the “It Gets Better” campaign…

Disney’s Pixar, the people who brought us films such as “Toy Story”, “Monsters Inc.”, “Cars”, “Wall-E”, “Up”, etc. joins the “It Gets Better” campaign by posting a video of their own in youtube. “It Gets Better” is a campaign to help fight bullying against the gay & lesbian community. In reality, “It Gets Better” can be for everybody, not just homosexuals.

I’m not gay but I respect the hell out of them. I’ve known some people that were gay in the past. I’ve also shared gigs with other solo musicians around the area that were gay, so I have nothing against gay people at all.

Speaking of bullying, yes, I was bullied when I was in high school. I’ve never gotten into any fights, but I’ve had other kids in school hit me before. I didn’t have what it took to defend myself and never fought back. As I got older and was out of high school, I still got bullied by other people here and there, but I learned to stay strong and I learned to never let it get to me. All of this bullying stuff is what got me interested in bodybuilding and fitness. I thought to myself, “Hmmmm, if I get ripped one day, maybe people will never be mean to me again?” I never got into fitness when I was a kid because of my past major surgeries that kept me away from it. So now that I’m good and healthy, I am able to get into fitness and do anything I want now. So here I am, trying to make my dreams of becoming a tough guy of my own.

My advice to those out there who are an easy target of being bullied by other people, get into fitness and bulk up. You don’t need to challenge a fight with them because of your ripped body like I said, violence is never the answer, but you being ripped will help bullies think twice before they say something mean to you. They’ll leave you alone, when they notice your physique. Never use physical violence, unless they hit you first. It is okay to fight back for self defense. Yep, this is the big part of why I’m getting into fitness ’cause of the way I was treated by other students in high school.

This method seems to be working in fact. Ever since I started putting up my fitness progress publicly, I haven’t even seen one thing that is said about me in a negative way. If you had a tough life, growing up, it does get better. I got good things going. I became a musician, a bodybuilder, an entertainment blogger, I work day jobs and just enjoying life. I hope to get married and raise a family one day, but I’m in no rush for that, just taking my time for the relationship, and wait for the right woman to come along. People may think I can’t get a woman, but no matter what you think or say, there is someone for everyone out there. Other than that, I’m just happy, playing music, working out in the gym, and just posting in the blog. These things keep me happy.

Enjoy this inspiring video. It’s great.

Thought: Get with it wrestling fans, John Cena is the RAW Anonymous GM, who else would it be???

Storyline wise, John Cena has been fired from the WWE because he is under Wade Barrett’s control. Not anymore. John Cena called the Survivor Series match right down the middle as he promised, so he helped Randy Orton retained. So that makes Cena fired from WWE if he didn’t follow Wade Barrett’s orders while being member of the Nexus.

How would it make more sense to bring Cena back to TV storyline wise? Could Vince McMahon bring Cena back? Pretty unlikely since Vince McMahon haven’t been on TV in a long while plus Vince hates Cena storyline wise. The RAW Anonymous GM wouldn’t bring Cena back ’cause the GM was the one who kept that rule that if Cena doesn’t follow Wade’s orders, he’d be fired.

So why would Cena sacrifice his career storywise? He’ll take a little break from TV for a few weeks just to go with this storyline, and then he’ll get revealed as the RAW Anonymous GM. How would it make sense that Cena would be the GM? Well think about it. The last time Vince McMahon was on TV, he got his ass kicked by the Nexus. Vince knows how much Cena hates the Nexus and knows how much Cena wants to destroy them. Notice, how the GM has been busting on the Nexus a lot, a Cena hint? YES! Cena being revealed as the GM would explain him coming back from the firing.

For those hoping the GM would be Warrior, Bret Hart, or Triple H. Don’t get your hopes up. Don’t be surprised that the GM could be none other than Cena. After reading about Survivor Series and seeing tonight’s RAW, and how this storyline is going, I’m beginning to see that the GM could be Cena. Sorry to disappoint you Cena haters out there.

Report: “Twilight” maybe almost over, but the vampire thing isn’t…Warner Bros’ will revive, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”…

The huge success, of the “Twilight Saga” film franchise, will bring out a lot more vampire franchises, folks! Sad but true! Warner Bros. have plans to re-boot the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”. The original was released in 1992 and it starred Kristy Swanson in the leading role. Joss Whedon will not direct.

Deadline, reports.

I wonder who they’ll get for Buffy in the new one? They’ll obviously get a young blonde actress.

I’d go for, Hayden Panettiere, the “Heroes” star. Dakota Fanning is not a bad choice either.

“Be Home Safe” version no. 2

Finished a new version of “Be Home Safe” in Pro Tools. Made it way better I think, I’m proud of the work. Added guitar solos and back up vocals. During the song I threw in muted guitar parts in between things, I did it on purpose as a way to leave room for drum fills. I played along with a click track and as you can hear, the song is in better timing, I think. I think the guitar solos are in key, I’m pretty sure they are. This tune still needs a little bit more work, but I’ll continue to improve it as I go along.

I hope to add drums and bass to this track sometime in the future. I won’t use MIDI drums and bass. I want real instruments. So soon I’ll be looking for drummers and bass players online who have ProTools, many of them do. It’s great to finally start writing and recording again. I will continue to write more new songs too. This one here is a bit of a slow ballad, but I’ll write more upbeat rock n’ roll tunes soon, hopefully.

Enjoy.

Thought: About the Bristol and Willow Palin vs. Tre facebook war….

The Palins are no stranger to controversy and here is their latest one. Bristol and Willow get into a huge flame war in their facebook pages with a guy named Tre, arguing about, “Dancing With the Stars”. Tre said something about the Palin family, and Bristol actually took the time to respond to him. Bashing the hell out of the guy in return.

In my opinion, I don’t find any of this that big of a deal. In fact, I find it comical and funny. To be fair for Bristol and Willow, they are no different than all other kids. This is how most kids in their teens and early 20’s talk to each other. They call each other gay slurs or names like retard and all that for laughs. That’s how kids are. I know I’ve been around kids that talked like that around that age. Everyone expects the Palin kids to be nice and friendly because they are in the political world. That’s why this is all over the news.

The only reason Tre’ is responding back to them, he’s not doing it to defend himself ’cause he clearly doesn’t care. I’m willing to bet he’s not offended at all being called those names. He’s laughing ass off. He’s finding it amusing arguing with two famous people who happen to be the daughters of a famous politician, Sarah Palin. So he kept responding back, pissing the girls off some more.

I would do the same thing, if a famous person responds to me online and starts an argument publicly, I’d keep it going ’cause personally, I would find it cool as hell being flamed by a famous person and that’s probably what this guy felt. I don’t take any of this seriously. I’m not defending Bristol and Willow, I’m just trying to tell that this is how kids are. They do no wrong.
