Thought: Going back to school?

Leave a comment

I just got back home late for work, decided to work extra this weekend as a request from my boss, I gotta work most of the day tomorrow so my blog may be a little slow this weekend.

I know a long time ago, I’ve discussed in blogs that I plan to go back to school…to college I mean, to get a college degree for a better job. It might actually happen this fall when classes start back up.

I might be going to Acc College in Queensbury, N.Y. What courses will I be taking? I may be taking a few of them. I’ll be taking some type of “English/writing” class so I can learn how to write better. I want to learn to write better to work on my grammar and work on better writing skills. To work on writing so I can write better for my blogs plus to hopefully start a novel writing career. Becoming a novelist and author was my original dream before music, and I just started to take novel writing again seriously. For novel writing, I’ll probably mostly write horror and crime fiction the stuff that I mostly enjoy reading.

I also might take some type of business course where I can learn how to run and open up my own small business. I own my own small business, I can be my own boss and not worry about working crappy jobs. Opening up my own store has always been a dream of mine. I’m thinking of opening up a bookstore that sells music CD’s too.

Don’t know if the college thing will actually happen but I’m definitely looking into it. I’ll never give up the music and guitar playing, and performing live, that I’ll always do. I just do music for fun and a good hobby. I don’t think I’m ever gonna become a profesional musician nationally, so I figure why not get back into writing fiction stories soon and open up my own store.

I’ll have more on this college thing later this summer.

Report: WWE.com created heavy traffic with Vince’s $1 million sweepstakes…

48 Comments

Over 650,000 fans have registered to Vince McMahon’s $1 million dollar sweepstakes. This thing keeps making the national news proving that Vince McMahon is serious about giving away his own money to WWE fans. It’s not fake, it’s no storyline, this is surely the real deal folks. The $1 million really is coming from Vince McMahon’s own money. Lets hope he don’t give away all of his money so he won’t go broke, lol.

The sweepstakes begin this Monday June 9th.

Read this interesting article for behind the scenes about this contest:

http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/mcmahons-million-dollar-mania-causes-largest-traffic-spikes-promotions-history/

Vince McMahon will do anything to promote WWE, even if it means giving out his own money to his own fans.

It is kind of cool though, it does pay to be a WWE devoted fan, I mean, you have to pay money to have cable TV to watch WWE, you have to buy PPV shows, and tickets to live shows, etc. So this is Vince’s way of giving the money back to the fans.

It shows that Vince actually cares for fans that support WWE. I’ve been a devoted WWE fan my entire life. I’ve always loved the wrestling business. I enjoy being part of the wrestling community.  We all know that wrestling is fake and scripted, we just watch it for the entertainment. And that’s what it’s all about! FOR FUN!!!

Report: Duke Nukem returning to our videogame systems…

Leave a comment

Duke Nukem the iconic videogame character has been vanished from our videogame systems for a long while, well Duke Nukem is about to make a huge return. The game is titled “Duke Nukem Forever” and it will be released to our PS3/Xbox 360 systems. The next Duke Nukem game is still a first person shooting game like it always is but this will have a similar feel to Grand Theft Auto IV. I think this is an attempt to compete with Grand Theft Auto IV.

“Duke Nukem Forever” is supposed to have more sexual content, and more nudity.

Check out IGN’s video interview with the makers of the game:

http://games.ign.com/articles/879/879939p1.html

According to 3DRealms official website, the game has not yet been set a release date, because it’ll be released whenever it gets done.

Since “Grand Theft Auto IV” is a game considered the Great American Video Game in History, “Duke Nuke Forever” could top that.

I’ve always been a huge Duke Nukem fan. The character first made his debut on regular PC games back in the 80’s and the character is still popular today. Bring on the game already, it looks fuckin’ badass!

Former “Wonder Woman” TV star was boating alone at the Potomac River in Washington state discovered a dead body floating by. She decides to become a real life superhero by doing the right thing about it. She ordered some nearby fisherman to call police.

She said that she did this like anyone else would do. She didn’t do this for her fame, she was doing the right thing.

The Associated Press reports:

http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080607/D9156U800.html

Who says superheros can’t be real? Kudos to her for doing the right thing.

Truthfully, most people would be scared to find a dead body in a river or in the woods, that they wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Report: HBO documentary to hunt down Roman Polanski…

Leave a comment

While legendary director Roman Polanski is still living in France filming movies and enjoying life to the fullest, an indie film maker named Marina Zenovich made a documentary titled “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” to let Mr. Polanski know what he did to that poor little girl is not forgotten.

Back in the 70’s, Polanski was hanging at Jack Nicholson’s house which appears that Polanski was romantically involved with a young 13 year old girl. The two were in Nicholson’s hot tub, and while they were in there, Polanski was serving her drinks and then he drugged her. He then had sex with her later on when the girl was all drugged up.

In trial for the case, Polanski pleaded guilty admitting to having a relationship and having sex with the 13 year old, and then fled to France to avoid prison. After all these years, Roman Polanski is still a fugitive at large to this very day. If he ever gets caught visiting the US, he will go to prison.

His victim now 45, Samantha Geimer will never forget her experience with the legendary film director. Samantha says he didn’t get a fair trial and wants the case to be closed. She’s seen the film herself at a private screening and says it’s very truthful and long overdue.

Marina Zevonich’s documentary “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” will air on HBO this coming Monday night at 8 p.m.

More on it here:

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-polanski_0607gl.ART.State.Edition1.467072a.html

I’m definitely gonn have to watch this. I refuse to watch any movie made by Roman Polanski ’cause I’m sickened to what he did.

Even though the man admits it, he can’t take responsibility and deal with getting punished so he escapes to France to avoid prison.

I don’t know why Hollywood continues to let him release movies over here. Although he’s banned from coming here in the US, he should be banned from releasing his movies over here too.

No one should support a pedophile.

Report: Leonardo Dicaprio plays the Atari…

Leave a comment

Paramount Pictures has just greenlighted a film titled “Atari”, yes, you guess it, a film about the Atari, one of the very first videogame systems to ever being invented in this planet. This is not really about the Atari videogames, this film is actually a Nolan Bushnell biopic. Nolan Bushnell is the creator and the inventor of the Atari videogame console. Dicaprio is signed to play the role of Nolan Bushnell.

The very first videogame ever made was a game called “Pong” which I used to play as a child all the time. The movie “Atari” will be about the life of Nolan Bushnell. According to research, Nolan Bushnell the real man himself, is still alive and well.

No director has been signed yet to the film.

Variety reports:

Hmmm, when this movie comes out expect videogame systems like the PS3/Xbox to re-release all the old classic Atari games to help promote the film.

The Atari was one of the coolest videogame systems on this planet. I was addicted to that thing when I was a kid. My favorite games were “Pitfall”, “Warlords”, “Asteroids” and “Yars Revenge”.

Whose Side Are You On: Clint Eastwood vs. Spike Lee…

8 Comments

We know we get a lot of big celebrity feuds over the years but it’s very rare that we get a “director vs. director” type of fued in Hollywood films. Spike Lee is angry at Clint Eastwood for not having any black African-American actors in any of Eastwood’s two WWII films “Flags of Our Fathers”, and “The Letters from Iwo Jima”, the two films based on six men raising the American Flag on Iwo Jima.

Eastwood immediately fired back claiming that Spike Lee never studied his World War II history, Eastwood says there were no black people back in those days when the flag was raised, that’s why Eastwood didn’t have black people in that film.

So Spike Lee went ahead and made his own version of the film to show Eastwood how it’s done. Eastwood continues to defend himself from Lee’s dissing and ending it by saying “A guy like Lee should shut his face”.

Lee was quiet after that.

More on it here:

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/2008/06/06/2008-06-06_clint_eastwood_fires_back_at_spike_lee_o.html

I’m siding with Eastwood all the way. Spike Lee is calling Eastwood a racist clearly and Eastwood is in no way a racist ’cause Eastwood used black people in his films in the past as he explained in the article.

Eastwood makes films how he wants them done. He doesn’t need no big shot ego director like Spike Lee pressing Eastwood’s buttons and pulling his strings.

Back off on Eastwood, Spike, you stupid prick. You provoke Eastwood, you deserve the nasty attacks by the man. That’s what you get when you mess with Dirty Harry!

Clint to Spike Lee, “Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry, every dirty job that comes along!”
