Thought: About the “Don’t Touch My Junk” guy and the TSA…

Leave a comment

So, a man named John Tyner, became a huge internet sensation because he got into an argument with security at the TSA checkpoint at an airport. John threatens the security gaurd by saying, “If you touch my junk, I’ll have you arrested”. While the quote is classic and hilarious, I give the guy kudos for having the balls to fight back at the TSA which not many people do.

I love travelling far distance places, I do like flying, but the only thing I hate about flying is the, TSA. I hate going through that checkpoint. It really pisses me off having to walk through a scanner, being forced to take my shoes and jacket off, and all that bullshit. It’s why I don’t fly much. I only flew twice in my life. The TSA treats passengers like criminals and terrorists. The security of the TSA at airports can be such assholes. I understand that they are just doing their job and following the TSA policies, but they need to treat the passengers with respect and stop acting like police officers.

The TSA are terrible. I only fly just to visit family members that are out of state, only fly for a good reason.

On my way back home from Florida, I got stopped by the security of TSA on my way back in the plane, before my flight back home. Why did he stop me? Because he noticed that my luggage was too big and forced me to take out a pair shoes and put it in the back pack I was carrying instead. I was gonna fight back and say something, but didn’t want to get in trouble. If you argue with the TSA, they wouldn’t let you fly and they would probably have you arrested by police if they wanted. It did really piss me off though.

Now you understand why I hate Terminals and the TSA security. I think it’s awesome that people are taking a stand at the TSA finally. It’s about time. We need security at airports yes, understandable because of 9/11 and all that, but all we want is to be treated with respect, not get treated like criminals…, and to respect our privacy.

I am officially a Harry Potter nerd!!!

Leave a comment

Well I finished watching, Harry Potter’s 6th film, “The Half Blood Prince” today. I watched all 6 Harry Potter films just in time before tomorrow’s “Deathly Hollow’s” release date. I’m glad I watched the six films in order ’cause they tell the story in order. I’m very impressed with the movies. The stories are great. I love the action and the special effects. It’s really strange to me why these movies are popular with kids because the movies are too dark and violent for them to see, in my opinion. The films even got pretty bloody at times too. I watched these films in HD with surround sound and I’m just blown away by the special effects and sounds of these movies.

As far as the story goes, it’s not just some kid wanting to become a wizard. We have a boy who’s parents been murdered by Lord Voldermort who is the main villain that is played by Ralph Fiennes. So Harry Potter is looking to be trained to be a wizard to seek revenge for the murder of his parents. As you watch these films, you would see that these films aren’t really about Harry Potter. They mostly focus on the main villain, Lord Voldermort. The series showed how Voldermort became evil and all that. I don’t want to talk about the plots to avoid spoilers for you all, just talk about a little bit. They kept Voldermort mysterious throughout most of the series and we’ll see more of him in “Deathly Hollows” film.

I’m going to start reading the Harry Potter books soon after I finish reading the Keith Richards book I’m reading right now. The Harry Potter series are really great. I guess you can say the series is definitely better than Stephenie Myers, “Twilight”. Really looking forward to seeing, “Deathly Hollows” tomorrow as I’m going on opening day, hopefully I can get in without being sold out. There will be a long line of Harry Potter fanatics at the theaters, indeed!

Thought: The reason Superman can’t have a big name actor and Batman can…

Leave a comment

Some may wonder why Hollywood vows to keep having an unknown actor play Superman and why big name stars are able to play Batman. Well, here it is.

So why can’t Superman have a big name star? It’s because the answer is really quite simple. Superman is the king of all superheroes. Superman is obviously the most legendary and most popular of them all. Think about why it would be a bad idea if they got Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal or Leo Dicaprio to play Superman. If they got a big name star, it would be too easy for them to make it a box office success. Superman needs to be an unknown for that reason. Another reason Superman needs to have an unknown actor is because of the Superman character itself. The Superman character is supposed to be mysterious. If they got someone too recognizable to play Superman, it takes the whole mystery out of the character. This is why they can’t get Jon Hamm or Brandon Routh ’cause they are too recognizable now. Superman’s identity is supposed to be hard to identify, so in order to do that, the actor needs to be an unknown. Get the drill now?

As for Batman, here is the reason why a big name star is allowed to play that character. For example, all the actors from the past, Adam West, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, Val Kilmer and Christian Bale were all big name stars. Not only that a big name actor helps brings in people to theaters, anybody can play Batman ’cause he is costumed and masked. Just like anybody can play Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers ’cause they are costumed and masked too.

Superman is costumed but he is not masked. It’s all about the identity of the superhero. That’s what it’s all about, Hollywood isn’t stupid. They take all this seriously and do things for a good reason other than the box office. Just my 2cents.

Report: I’ve been saying this all along, “Superman” actor will be an unknown and not a big name!!

Leave a comment

Well Chris Nolan, keeps himself busy with both “Dark Knight: Rises” and Snyder’s “Superman”! You know, all you Superman fans out there naming all of these big name stars is just a waste of time. I’ve been saying the whole time that Superman will possibly be an unknown actor. That’s what WB’s and Chris Nolan are going for. They are not going for Jon Hamm, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, Armie Hammer and all those other popular names that will be listed.

All the Superman actors from the past: George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, etc. They were all unknowns. I’m glad Chris is staying true to this. WB’s and Chris Nolan plan on going for an actor with no acting experience at all or lesser known TV actors. It’s a smart move, in my opinion.

See the story here at, Deadline.

It’s okay to pick big name stars for Lois, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, etc., but Superman/Clark Kent can’t be a big name. For a good reason too! The Superman film makers are still keeping their mouth shut on the plot and I’m sure we’ll hear something about the plot soon. Hopefully the plot will be different. We already had plenty of this Krypton, Smallville and Metropolis plots, we already know those stories so hope this will be an original story this time around.

Health and Fitness

Fitness will make life better…

Leave a comment

It is amazing how Fitness and bodybuilding changes your life. It certainly changed mine for sure. I’ve been doing fitness for over a year now and life has gotten way better. Even if you’re a beginner at fitness and may not look like Arnold or Sly yet, don’t worry about it. Just enjoy life and be happy what you got so far. You’ll be happy and feel proud that you changed your life to get healthier. Everything around you will get better.

Think about these things on how fitness makes your life for the better:

  • Is your life full of negativity and drama, that is stressing you out and making you depressed? Fitness will take your mind off of those things. Exercise and eating right is a good mood changer. If you’re in a bad mood, fitness will put you in a better mood easily.
  • Are you a shy person or anti-social, don’t have many friends or no friends at all? Don’t worry! The healthier you get, the more respect you get by people around you. People will talk to you in a positive way, maybe give you feedback on your progress and conversation will build from there. You will make more friends and become more sociable in the fitness wold, trust me!
  • For the guys in fitness, will you attract more women and get hit on by the ladies everywhere you go? Yes, this could be a possibility too. Many pro bodybuilders have gotten married because of it.
  • For those who had past surgeries and medical problems, fitness will take you away from that and make you a 100% healthy person.
  • Do you used to have a short temper or bad attitudes? Fitness will just make you a happy person, all the time, 24/7. It’ll help make you become a nicer person.

This list can go on. People will be happy and proud of you that you got into fitness. I just wanted to find something else I could be good at other than music. Sure, I could have tried hunting and fishing, and I have tried both, but was never good at that stuff. I could have tried sports, but was never good at that either. I could have been a writer, a painter or a poet but wasn’t good at any of those things. So I finally found something else that I am good at, fitness & bodybuilding. The fitness world is where I belong. Honestly, I have always been interested in fitness and bodybuilding my whole life, I have never taken it seriously until now.

I learn every detail in fitness & bodybuilding as much as I can. I’m always studying and reading. I would never become a certified trainer ’cause it’s not a job, it’s what I do. I’m thinking about making a second website for my fitness only, to keep it away from the entertainment stuff here. I’ll come up with a plan for my own fitness site in the future.

Celebrity/musician deaths

RIP: Ronni Chasen 1946 – 2010

Leave a comment

Ronni Chasen, is a legendary Hollywood publicist, known for her work for films like, “Driving Miss Daisy”, and, “On Golden Pond”. On November 16th 2010, she was driving home late at night in Beverly Hills California, after she was attending the “Burlesque” movie premiere. Ronni, was shot and killed, by an unknown act of violence happening in the city. The crime is still being investigated. Ronni Chasen was 64 years old.

Remember, folks. No matter where you go, crime is everywhere. Something like this can happen to anybody, anytime. It really is sad that people’s lives have to end this way. RIP, Ronni. Sad news and shocking. I don’t want to speculate on what happened, it wouldn’t surprise me it’s just a bunch of kids and gang members in the streets.

UFC, WWE news

Thought: Brock Lesnar still can return to WWE, just not wrestle!!!

Leave a comment

Rumours are still hitting hard on the internet that there maybe a possibility that Brock Lesnar could return to the WWE, to feud with the Undertaker. Even though Dana White says it won’t happen, the UFC’s policy is that UFC fighters can not fight or wrestle in any other company while still under contract for UFC. Still though, nobody ever said anything about Brock Lesnar performing in WWE, and not wrestle right?

WWE could bring Brock in as a guest host for RAW and Undertaker can go to RAW to feud with him there, or the WWE could make Brock Lesnar as the Anonymous RAW GM, would be interesting. Brock as a RAW GM would work.

If Brock does come back to WWE, that would bring Paul Heyman back as his manager again. I’d love to see Brock and Paul back. Brock may not be able to wrestle but they can put Brock in a different role. Maybe make Brock a special guest commentator or special guest referee, RAW GM, RAW celebrity guest, etc. Any of those things. WWE will figure out a plan for Brock, I’m sure. I’d love to see the Brock vs. Undertaker feud continue ’cause that would make an interesting feud. Brock and Taker feuded in WWE in the past before, this could be a perfect closure to that feud.

Kev

Edit to add: If Quinton “Rampage” Jackson can be a guest host on WWE RAW while still under contract for UFC, then the same can happen for Brock Lesnar, right?
