It is possible to get ripped without spending a lot of money…

Leave a comment

The bodybuilding and fitness industry wants people to spend a lot of money to get ripped. That’s why they make all these ridiculously expensive fitness courses such as P90x, and ridiculously expensive workout equipment such as, Boflex. You don’t need to go through all that. Why waste money on all that shit, when you can simply get ripped for free at home or if your local gym has cheap membership, you can feel free to go for that as well. You don’t need to spend so much money on getting ripped. Getting ripped can only cost ya $20 – $100 worth of cheap workout equipment and worth of healthy foods from the grocery store. You can be self taught at bodybuilding without going through expensive personal trainers as well. You don’t need that either. Working out doesn’t require money.

If you want the body of your dreams. If you want to one day look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sly Stallone and become the best shape of your life, nothing is stopping you, no matter the price. If this is what you want, go for it now. You can only live once, so might as well get going. It doesn’t matter your age, doesn’t matter your body condition. It can happen with anybody. Bodybuilding and eating right, is not very hard. It’s actually all very easy and simple. Just takes a lot of work and dedication.

If you’re on a tight budget and can’t really afford much, like myself, I am still able to find my way around to get in shape, nicely. Don’t spend a lot of money to get in shape. It can be possible.

Thought: Who should score the music for “Superman: The Man of Steel”?

Leave a comment

After Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan decides the casting for the new “Superman” movie that will be directed by Zack Snyder, soon they will have to find a composer to make the music for the film. Some may think that WB’s and Chris will have Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard to score “Superman” just like they did to the two Batman movies, but I hope they won’t go for them two guys again.

If they want to stay true to Superman, they need John Williams back for this gig. John Williams is Superman when it comes to music. Another composer would turn Superman fans away from seeing the movie. So I think they would get John Williams. John is still composing movies to this day, he’s been scoring for all those Harry Potter flicks. As long as he’s available, they’ll probably get him.

I really hope they get John. It would be a mistake if Chris forgets him. However, Warner Bros.’s does own the copyright to the Superman theme, the original Superman heirs the Siegels do not own it.

The opening Superman theme for the new movie won’t be exactly the same as the classic, John will probably write up a new version to get the current feel. I hope Zack and Chris will open the new Supes flick in space where the text is flying at ya on the screen. I’m sure they will stay true to that. Check the videos below as examples of what I’m talking about. Bryan Singer’s “Superman: Returns” opened the movie the same way. See how the opening theme intro is a little different? Chris and Zack will do it right, I’m sure they aren’t that stupid.

Report: WWE will soon announce big changes that will soon happen in 2011…

Leave a comment

Reports all over the wrestling world, are saying that the WWE are making huge changes for the company for all wrestling shows. The changes will happen in 2011 but they are being kept under wraps for now. See the article, here.

This will be a major shakeup, something HUGE. What could the huge shake up be? Here are some possibilities that people are throwing around:

  1. WWE could go back to PG-14 – Go back to bloody violence and half naked women with lots of cleavage. ( I hope this will happen but I doubt it, merchandise sales are flying high and you see a lot of children at all RAW/SD shows, so I don’t see them dropping the PG rating)
  2. Vince buys TNA? (Nice idea, but not a chance this will happen. Sorry)
  3. RAW/SMACKDOWN could merge into one brand to end the roster split. (Possibly, but I don’t see this happening ’cause of too many superstars, won’t make enough room to perform in one show)
  4. WWE will get their own wrestling cable channel to air RAW/SD and all WWE shows. (Not a chance this will happen, ever. USA has always been RAW’s home, Smackdown just moved to SyFy, so I doubt Vince will get his own WWE channel. WWE do have their own history channel which is only available for satellite TV, I believe?

Whatever the shakeup is going to be, I’m looking forward to it. You just never know what Vince McMahon and the staff at WWE Headquarters would come up with.

Report: Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp to finally star in a movie together???

Leave a comment

Two of Hollywood’s biggest movie icons in the world, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp, have never starred in a movie together, ever. I don’t think? If they already did one, correct me. I’m pretty sure they never collaborated. A Hanks and Depp team up may actually happen. Thanks to Kathryn Bigelow, who is moving forward with her movie about, Argentina, currently titled, “Triple Frontier”. Tom Hanks is already signed to the leading role. Depp is currently in negotiations with Kathryn, to star alongside with Tom. It is another mobster movie, set in Argentina. See the full article here at, Deadline.

Hopefully, Depp would say yes to this project ’cause I’ve always wanted a Depp and Hanks team up. This sounds like it’s going to be another violent action movie for Kathryn. Is Tom about to go violent again like he did to, “The Road to Perdition”? Sounds like it. “Triple Frontier” sounds interesting. Kathryn is a great film maker as I thought, “The Hurt Locker” was one amazing flick.

Report: Kurt Angle wants WWE return…

Leave a comment

Former WWE star, Kurt Angle is still currently working for TNA. Even if he signed another contract to stay with TNA even longer, he still wants a big WWE return. He still plans to stay with TNA too. How can he work with two different shows at the same time?

See the article, here.

That’s good that Kurt Angle finally wants to return. Could he actually be, the RAW Anonymous GM? Heh, who knows. The WWE could certainly use him back since their ratings has been down as of late. Kurt Angle would also make a great member of the Nexus ’cause the Nexus could use a member that have wrestling talent, and Kurt Angle has that. Pretty much all members of the Nexus suck at wrestling, except for Justin Gabriel who seems pretty promising.

I’d like to see a Kurt Angle return. I’m all for it.

Report: Robert Miller, a Green Beret, gets Medal of Honor by President Obama…

Leave a comment

I can’t stand President Obama as President but he does something good for once. Robert Miller, a young Green Beret in the Armed Forces, received a Medal of Honor from the President. Robert Miller died in action during the Afghanistan war, gave up his life to save millions of others.

Read the entire story, here.

Finally, Obama gets my respect for this one time. This was the right thing to do. Robert Miller is a real life, John Rambo. 🙂

Report: Sam Raimi will finally get right to work on “Oz: The Great and Powerful” next…

Leave a comment

Sam Raimi is finally ready to start filming, “Oz: The Great and Powerful”. The former, “Spiderman” director has already let Disney know that he’s ready to film it very soon. They still hope Robert Downey Jr., will be up for the leading role as the Wizard and it’s looking like Downey will be up for the role.  See the article here at, Deadline.

Hmmmm, I still wonder if Sam’s take on “Wizard of Oz” will be dark or will it be a happy film for children or a little bit of both. There’s gotta be a reason why Disney wanted Sam Raimi for this ’cause maybe there is a lot of dark and horror fiction related material in the script?

Report: Weezer hater is willing to pay the band $10 million to break up…

Leave a comment

Weezer maybe a real popular band still but they still have haters out there too, this one hater, however, is taking the Weezer hate a bit too far. Don’t you think? A man named, James Burns has started a donation campaign to raise $10 million dollars to pay Weezer for them to break up. See the donation, here. Yes, James Burns is serious about this. Mr. Burns did an interview over at the Stranger blog to talk about it.

Sounds like this guy is completely jealous of Weezer’s fame and popularity. I’m not much a Weezer fan anymore, but it’s all up to the band to decide whether they want to break up or not. I don’t think Weezer will ever break up, no matter the cost. So this delusional loser, can keep trying. I don’t think he’ll be a success at this. Sounds like Mr. Burns wants to keep the $10 million for himself, so don’t buy into this scam, people.

What a loser this guy is! If you hate a band so much, just don’t buy their records or listen to them. Simple! This asshole is clearly jealous for sure!

Report: Why Zack Snyder was hired to do “Superman” and plot possibly revealed?

Leave a comment

Ok, here is the real reason why Zack Snyder was chosen to do the next, “Superman” movie. The reason is, David Goyer’s script was rushed and it was still a huge mess. They needed a director who can get things done quickly and not take their time. Zack Snyder is known to do everything quickly, so that’s why he was hired so he can help David and Chris complete the story quickly. They need to get things done quickly because remember, the lawsuit thing by the original Superman heirs, they must get a new Superman movie in production by 2011, or they could get a nasty lawsuit.

The plot has been leaked. The plot to the new “Superman” movie is rumored to be similar to “Batman: Begins”. Clark Kent is a journalist at the Daily Planet in Metropolis and he is just trying to decide whether or not to become, Superman.

More on the story, here.

If that’s what the plot is for the next movie, that’s pretty cool. I honestly, really like it. The plot is getting a lot of flak online, but Clark Kent trying to decide whether to be Superman or not, has NOT been done before in a film or a TV show. So that’s an original idea. I’m sure there is more to that story ’cause Zack Snyder himself hinted at what the plot could be about, “Why Superman?”.  Doesn’t sound like a remake of the TV show, “Smallville” or “Superman: The Movie” to me. Keep in mind that this a rumored plot so it’s not official. I’m not believing anything until either Zack or Chris starts talking about the story to the media.

If most of the movie is going to be taken place at the Daily Planet, where Clark Kent works, he’ll get harassed and bossed around by Perry White most of the time, would be an entertaining movie. Sounds like the story is just going to have Clark Kent throughout most of the movie, and Superman won’t actually show up toward the end. I hope Superman won’t show up toward the end, we need Superman throughout most of the movie.

I’m sure Zack or Chris will soon confirm if this plot is true or not once this news hits the internet heavy enough. Maybe they’ll reveal the real plot after?

In other casting ideas, I’d love to see Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard of Star Trek: TNG) get the role of Jor-El. Patrick could easily give it a Marlon Brando feel.

Thought: Teen suicides and cyberbullies…

Leave a comment

So teens killing themselves because they get picked on for being gay is on the rise, and this is making the news both locally and nationally. While this is sad and horrible, I personally think stuff like this shouldn’t even be making the news. Cyberbullying or kids getting picked on at school, happens all the time. So the question you have to ask is, who is the guilty one here? Is it the bullies or is the teens who committed suicide ’cause of the bullying? I’m going to take the blame on the teen and not the bullies. The thing is, when you put yourself out there on the internet, you’re going to get a lot of cyberbullies and haters. Whether you put yourself out there in facebook, myspace, etc. Where ever, you’re going to expect a lot of harassment from anonymous people. That’s just the way the internet is. Those kids who killed themselves for over some computer, they are probably childish people themselves who couldn’t ignore the bullying.

Anybody can become a victim of anonymous cyberbullying. Not just gay teens. Straight people can get cyberbullied too, both straight men and women. If you’re going to get yourself on social networking sites, you gotta have guts and “IGNORE” all harassment and drama. It isn’t that hard to do. Suicide is a pretty selfish thing to do, so the kids who killed themselves over this stuff, didn’t have the balls to ignore cyberbullying and didn’t have what it takes to defend themselves.

Anonymous cyberbullies just go around looking for things to pick on and look for things to laugh at. Gotta be an adult over this stuff, not take bullying seriously, and not care what anybody thinks or says about you. When will these kids take the blame on their suicides, maybe it was them that started it all that got them to bully them. This is why underage teens shouldn’t even be using the internet.

I get my share of cyberbullying, but that’s alright, I’m cool with it. I can deal with it like a man and act like internet drama is nothing to me. Period.
