A new Kev Brock official website will be on it’s way so I can link all those sites above into one place like all musicians and bands seem to be doing these days.

Since I haven’t written a health blog in a while, I thought I would write something about this, High Fructose Corn Syrup.This ingredient is starting to scare people in the USA. A lot of people complain that it is hard to avoid because this ingredient is almost in every food out there at the store. It’s in soda, bread, a lot of snacks, cereal, certain kinds of ice cream, hot dog rolls/hamburger buns, etc. The US like to blame obesity on “High Fructose Corn Syrup”.
I don’t mean to be harsh but I’m going to be brutally honest. “High Fructose Corn Syrup” is very easy to avoid. If you want to avoid this dangerous ingredient at all cost, then the things you pick up at the grocery store, you MUST read the nutritional labels. Every item you pick up, look at the back of the nutritional labels. Under it says the, “Ingredients” and it’ll list them all.
If the food item you have in your hand, don’t have “High Fructose Corn Syrup” listed at all, then it’s good, it’s healthy. If it does have “HFCS” listed, then put it back on the shelf, and move along to another item. I soon plan to make a video blog and I will show you an easier way on how to avoid “HFCS”. The best way to avoid “HFCS” is to buy organic healthy foods because organic doesn’t allow “HFCS”.
There are whole grain breads without “HFCS” you can buy at the store. I buy that stuff all the time, buying loafs of bread with no “HFCS”, it’s easy to find, read the “ingredients”. Want to crave for hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner but you don’t want them “HFCS” in hot dogs/burgers? Then use “No HFCS’ bread instead of rolls and buns. I try my very best to avoid “HFCS”. Sometimes I’ll eat something and didn’t realize there was “HFCS” in it by mistake.
So what I’m really trying to say in this blog post, is that don’t blame the United States for “HFCS’. It should be your own fault ’cause you’re not reading the labels of food items. Everytime I go to the store, I read every single label on every item. I’ll also refuse to eat things at home when people offer me things that has “HFCS” in ’em. Yep, that’s how strict I’m getting with my eating habits. I’m very picky with eating now. I’m trying to avoid junk food as much as I can and eat mostly healthy as I can.
There are foods at the store with no “HFCS”, again, just gotta learn how to read the ingredients labels. Video blog coming soon to teach you a better way on how to do this. Stay tuned.

A young woman crashed through that gate as you see in the picture. Who’s home is that? That is no one other than the legendary horror author, Stephen King. That house has been Stephen’s home for many years. He stayed there for most of his life really. It’s such a shame that gate has been destroyed. As you can see that gate has a spiderweb design with two spiders over it, there are also two gargoyles on both sides on the top.
Stephen King was not at home at the time when the woman drove through the gate. No one was injured. She was either drunk or not paying attention to her driving and must of lost control of her car.
While I’m sure Stephen himself, would be sad of this news, he would use this incident for more inspiration for his novels. He’s always been known to write real life things that happened in his life and bring it into his fiction novels. He’ll probably write a novel about this, I’m sure.
I don’t think King would sue this woman. He would know it’s just an accident but she might have to pay up for damages of the gate, that’s about it though.

Yep, so I watched UFC 118 last night. I knew Randy Couture was going to destroy James Toney with no problems. Knew it was going to happen from the very beginning. Randy made it look too easy to beat James Toney down. Randy knew James Toney’s boxing skills. Randy knew how hard Toney punches. Randy did a great job to avoid Toney’s punches. I knew Randy would do his best to avoid them. Randy gave Toney his usual chokehold move that Randy always does.
Hopefully, this will be James Toneys only fight. He needs to get his fat ass back to boxing where he belongs. James doens’t belong in UFC, he can’t handle it. James will get killed if he continues to stay in UFC, so hopefully Dana won’t let him continue on. Watch last night’s fight here.
The other fights were okay, but the best fight of the night was “Florian vs. Maynard”. Although Kenny Florian tried his best to win in his hometown, I was impressed with him last night.

Yet another wrestler dies. This time it’s a female wrestler. Luna Vachon, real name: Gertrude Angelle Vachon, is a Canadian professional wrestler, who was known to have an amazing bodybuilder like physique. She performed in WWE from 1992 – 2000. Her entire life was revolved around wrestling. She was born with it and grew up on the wrestling inudstry. When she first appeared in WWE, she started performing as a manager for such wrestlers like Shawn Michaels and Goldust. Then the WWE allowed her to become a full time wrestler in the women’s division. Her most well known feuds against the Divas were against Sable and Jacqueline. In the year 2000, Luna was released from the WWE due to having a bad temper with other WWE employees backstage.
After her WWE release, she continued to wrestle for indie events and such. In 2004, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and became a born-again Christian. In August of 2010, her house burned down. Shortly after, she was found dead at her mother’s home where she was staying due to losing her home. She is survived by her two sons and has two granddaughters. Her cause of death is not known at this time, but don’t be quick to assume that she died of steroids or drugs. Remember, she had bipolar disorder, she had all kinds of personal problems, that it might be a possible suicide as well.
RIP Luna. I remember her back in the WWE days when she used to be around. She maybe freaky looking but that’s part of her wrestling character and gimmick. She was also a very talented wrestler and most female wrestlers don’t wrestle as good as she does. This is pretty sad news. Hopefully WWE will do a tribute for her this coming Monday on RAW. Luna Vachon was only 48 years old.

There is a company that helps bands & musicians that is sparking some controversy on the web with unsigned musicians all over the U.S. Does your band or solo act have a myspace, official website and a Reverb Nation page? Did you get an e-mail message from a guy who works for “Afton Live” a company that claims they help book bands gigs? The guy will ask you if you’re interested in performing at this certain venue, at a certain date.
For example, I will copy & paste this guy’s e-mail he sent me in Reverb Nation, I will leave guy’s name out of it:

… i get to browse around,, find artists i like in albany, and try to get them on some of my shows. i like your stuff, wanna see if i can get you in on this show i have comin up at red square on oct 3rd?
def seems like youd fit well on that one or some others i have in the next couple months, so lemme know ok? email me back at:
alb@aftonlive.com
then i can get you all the info you need to start bookin some shows
Sounds too good to be true right? You get an e-mail like that, and you get immediately excited, but looking at that e-mail address, “aftonlive.com”, hmmmm, that sounds a little fishy to me. I decided to google that up to see what it was all about.
Turns out that these guys are scam artists. They scam money from musicians. I read that you pay this company to get gigs. They probably want you to pay a lot of money like: $300 or more. I also read that if they book you a gig, the more tickets you sell from the fans, you get nothing in return.
Read some more stuff on it here on how it is a scam.
Notice on that Afton Live website, they don’t say where the company is located. They also don’t say how they charged to get gigs.
A musician named Zax Avila have already been a victim by them and plenty of other musicians have been victims as well. How to tell whether these companies are a scam or not? Well read more here.
When you want to become a successful musician, NEVER pay first to play, when it’s you the one that should be getting paid. Never go for gigs that ask you to pay first. I never went for that. You either play gigs for free or accept gigs from the venues themselves asking you to book a gig to be paid.
On top of that, you can become a successful musician on your own and do it all your own way without these shady companies doing it for you. How can you become a successful musician on your own without a promotions company, manager, or agent? I will write another blog post coming right up later on. Be very careful of these, “Pay to Play” companies trying to get you to work with them. Don’t buy into it.

WWE Superstar, Sheamus, did an interview with ESPN to help promote the new, “Smackdown vs. RAW 2011” video game. Ever wondered why his skin is so white and why John Cena calls him, a “human jar of mayonaise”? Why can’t he get a tan? It’s because he can’t.
Sheamus said:
“I can’t get a tan, to be honest with you. I get bright red, then I get white again. [laughs] I can’t actually get a tan, but what’s funny is it has definitely helped me stand out from day one. Just being different — not being tan, not having the short hair or the long hair like everybody else, my Irish accent — there are a lot of different things that put me in the right place at the right time, and I knew if I got the opportunity, I’d take it. That’s what I’ve done from day one. You give me an opportunity, I’ll run a mile.”
Honestly, I think Sheamus looks good being bright white. It makes it looks like he’s got a natural muscular built that way. Maybe so many wrestling fans wants to see him tan ’cause he’s one of the only wrestlers who never tans? Most every single professional wrestler out there have a perfectly tanned body.
Not with Sheamus though. I think he wants to prove that you can get muscle definition and results by not tanning at all. I don’t think Sheamus has done steroids. His physique doesn’t look steroid built to me at all. He looks perfectly natural to me.
Feel free to read the rest of the interview here.

The new “Three Musketeers” movie is currently filming and behind the scenes photos have leaked all over the web. Here are photos of Mads Mikkelsen and Logan Lerman.
Very impressive! Like what I see so far! Can’t wait to see a trailer now!

Sookie and Veronica Mars are officially part of the cast for, Scream 4. Yeah, I bet they won’t stay in the film for long either and they’ll get killed off by that masked killer. Who knows, maybe Wes Craven wants to keep the next film unpredictable and maybe he will make one of these two ladies live??? They should make Kristen Bell live and kill off Anna Paquin. I never liked Anna as an actress. She’s terrible and not that hot looking. Kristen, however, is much hotter than Anna.

Yet, another SNL star is leaving. When former SNL stars leave over the years, they move on to become huge movie stars that they are today. It worked for Steve Martin, Martin Short, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, etc. That’s what happens when SNL stars start to become too famous for the show. They are popular enough to go on to movies. This time it’s Will Forte’s turn to leave for a big career.
I’m pretty sure the “Macgruber” film will get more sequels so he will want to work on that too. He’ll either do more movies or go on a different TV show. I think he wants to focus on a full time movie career and that’s what it’s looking like.
Keep in mind that SNL is pretty much here to help launch comedians huge film careers.
I’m pretty surprised Seth Myers, Fred Armisen and Andy Sandberg are still working for SNL, because those three guys I mentioned are getting popularity pretty quickly. Those guys will leave at some point, I’m sure.
