I’m really loving boxing… wish I could fight in an actual boxing ring but…

1 Comment

… I just don’t have the body for it. I’m too old to fight professionally plus even if I did try to fight in actual boxing matches locally, they wouldn’t let me in ’cause of my scoliosis. I have all kinds of other issues with my body so I wouldn’t be able to fight in an actual boxing ring which would be fun. I could do some “sparring” though, that’s probably as far as I can go. When I do “sparring”, I wouldn’t get hurt ’cause you’re supposed to take it easy during “sparring”, you’re not supposed to hit hard during “sparring”. Even though I will never fight professionally in boxing or MMA, I just do boxing just for fun and that’s it.

Boxing is just a good workout and I want to learn how to fight better to defend myself and others. I just had my 2nd boxing lesson last night at the Y and it was fun. My boxing instructor seems to be real impressed with me too ’cause I hit hard and fast. Maybe sometime I’ll video tape myself doing some boxing. Boxing is just a great workout and makes me feel real good. Boxing is just a new hobby of mine that I just discovered. I’m really loving it.

Each time I mention to someone I’m getting into boxing, someone will say, “You’re gonna get into a boxing ring and become a fighter?”. No. Not really. I do want to become a fighter but not professionally. It’s just something fun to do.

I’m still planning to buy my own heavy bag for home so I can practice everyday on my own. Boxing will definitely help get you in shape and so will Yoga. I love doing both boxing and yoga. I plan to stay committed to both. Some say I shouldn’t do too much but that really isn’t a lot, though. I can do both just fine. If I’m gonna do boxing, I need to do Yoga ’cause you need a flexible body for boxing too. So doing both is real good. I did cut down on the weight lifting though ’cause boxing and yoga will get you in shape good enough anyways. Each time I do a boxing or a Yoga session, I feel really good after. That’s what’s amazing about doing them.

I’m not a violent guy at all ’cause I know that violence is not the answer but I will punch back if I’m hit first. That’s probably the main reason why I want to get into boxing so I can defend myself. I still want to get into martial arts and karate too. Just gonna start off with boxing for a while.

I don’t take mainstream news media sources seriously anymore, honest journalism is dead…

3 Comments

Usually when a NeverTrump idiot wants to try and prove me wrong on something, chances are they’ll show me something from a libtard media source like: CNN, NYTimes, anything from NBC, the Washington Post, NPR, Media Matters, etc. All that garbage. They’re all liberal biased and I’ve been saying that for years. I’ve been saying in this blog that honest journalism is dead and it has been for a long while.

When people just show me links from liberal media sources, I just ignore ’em all ’cause I don’t take that stuff seriously anymore. They’re all on one side and I’ve been saying all they do is ram liberalism down our throats. The mainstream media keeps reporting stuff about left-wing politics as if that’s how we all look at the world but we don’t.

The mainstream media is so corrupt and if you believe what they say and think they’re credible source then I feel sorry for you. I don’t watch the news anymore. I don’t listen to talk radio anymore ’cause even that’s all bullshit. I also try not to read the news on the internet anymore but I will read stuff from some alternative sources like Breitbart, InfoWars and the Drudge Report. If you want real news, stuff that is not so bias, go to those three sites I just mentioned. Those three sites, Breitbart, Infowars and the Drudge Report are all pretty reliable and credible. More reliable and credible than the mainstream news.

The mainstream news is all garbage. They don’t report news, it seems they make a lot of stuff up. They’ll do anything to make liberalism look good and ram it down our throats. Stop calling yourself a liberal ’cause there’s no such thing. When it comes to me, I’m not on one side at all ’cause I tell the truth on both sides of the spectrum. A lot of people accuse me of watching too much FOX News ’cause of my “right-wing” politics but I try not to call myself a “right-winger” ’cause I’m not honestly. In these blogs you’ve seen me talk all kinds of trash about right-wing politicians and I don’t like the Bushes either. A lot of people accuse me of staying on the right but if you pay attention, I don’t. I hate the GOP too. I don’t have a hard-on for right-wing people like many believe.

I’m about the truth. That’s all I am, ya know? I don’t care what side it’s on, the truth is gonna get told either way. The mainstream news? They don’t tell the truth anymore like they used to. That stopped happening ever since Barack Obama got elected in 2008.

Stop following the news, people. They do nothing but report a bunch of fictional and made up bullshit. Mainstream news are the new tabloids these days which is very sad.

The reason the news is like this ’cause I blame it on George Soros. He’s the one paying the mainstream news to make Obama and Hillary look good. It’s all George Soros, y’all. That’s the key. Can’t stand that piece of shit. We gotta get Trump in office and bring back honest journalism. Fire them all and start over again.

Yes, Rosie O’ Donnell deserves to get attacked by Donald Trump, she had it coming and she started it to begin with…

Leave a comment

On last night’s presidential debate, Hillary predictably accused Trump of saying nasty things about women and calls him a misogynist and all that stuff. *yawn* What else is new? Trump tries to defend himself by saying that he only said nasty things about Rosie O’ Donnell. Which is true.

Everybody wants to believe that Trump is a misogynist and the NeverTrump idiots think Trump hates women. So tell me, was there any other women other than Rosie O’ Donnell that he talked trash to? Well Megyn Kelly maybe but any others? No. I bet you can’t find any others. Why? It’s simply because Mr. Trump is not a woman hater. He only goes after the women who attacks him first. Women shouldn’t get a free pass for attacking men.

On top of that, Rosie O’ Donnell started the feud by attacking Trump personally. Rosie criticized Trump for not stripping Tara Conner the crown after she was tested positive of cocaine and Trump let her keep the crown. Rosie was upset about that so she called him a “snake-oil salesman” which pissed off Trump.  Then she went on to say untrue things about his personal life like his alleged affairs which also set Trump  off. The reason the feud started was it wasn’t because of Rosie being upset about Tara Conner being allowed to keep the crown, it was because she said false statements about Trump’s personal life and financial matters.

http://theslot.jezebel.com/heres-why-donald-trump-hates-rosie-odonnell-1787135294

So Trump hates women for calling out a woman for attacking him? Trump has every right to go after people who “slanders” him. Rosie slanders him and she thinks she can get away with that. The NeverTrump idiots are now feeling sorry for her? Wow. The NeverTrump idiots feels sorry for anybody who attacks Trump first and they don’t like it when he decides to retaliate.

When people say hurtful and offensive stuff about me, I’m not going to respond to it so kindly. If you attack me personally, I’m probably gonna attack back. You have every right to do that. It’s about sticking up for yourself and that’s what Trump does. He sticks up for himself whenever he’s attacked by other people.

So was Trump attacking Rosie and calling her names justifiable? Absolutely! Nobody likes being accused of cheating and having affairs and all that stuff. So what Rosie said about Trump back then was inappropriate and I can’t blame Trump for attacking back ’cause I’d do the same.

Rosie is a bitch. I never liked that stupid cunt and she continues to be a bitch today.

Donald Trump goes after anyone who attacks him first. He has always bee like that. He’s one of those guys that if you respect him, he’ll respect you in return.

If someone attacks you personally, you have every right to attack back shouldn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman. Woman shouldn’t get away with their bullcrap either.

Eastbound Throwdown review… yes, I went and it was a blast…

1 Comment

The band Eastbound Jesus held their 2nd annual, “Eastbound Throwdown” festival. This time it was a two day festival with camping and all. Lots of bands on the bill and plenty of things to see and do at the festival. The festival took place at Irwin Farm in Salem, N.Y.

Yes, I went and stayed the whole weekend. It was a blast too and I had a lot of fun. The guys in EBJ did a great job putting together their own festival. I was impressed. It was all very professional. It was more than just music. You can also eat food there, play games, drink all kinds of alcohol and just hang out with people.

I got to hang out with plenty of people I already know and got to meet some new faces as well. Did I get drunk and get myself hammered? You betcha I did drink quite a bit so I admittedly did get pretty wasted. I’m not much of a drinker at all but once in a blue moon won’t hurt, ya know? I just wanted to have a blast and get a buzz on.

I got to be a part of the EBJ Throwdown staff so I got to hangout backstage and stuff. Even though I was allowed to go backstage with a pass and all, I didn’t hang out backstage all that much ’cause I was too busy watching all the talent on stage out in the audience. I’m a huge local music supporter and I like watching musicians play. When I did go backstage, I would go back there and talk to the bands after their performance to give them compliments and stuff.

While I think all talent at EBJ Throwdown were great, I was most impressed with the North & South Dakotas, Driftwood, The Mallet Brothers Band, Pitchfork Militia, the Blind Owl Band, Green (local cover band) and of course, EBJ kills it like they always do.

They did a great job with the stage, sound, lighting and the scheduling of bands. The bands appeared on stage right on schedule so it was all done perfectly and professionally. A lot of people showed up at the Festival too so it was pretty successful. They really pulled it off beautifully.

While the bands were playing I did dance a lot myself. I danced to Green,  Blind Owl Band, The Mallett Brothers and of course, EBJ. I danced like crazy to EBJ on Friday night but the second night EBJ took the stage, I was standing this time and then I watched the rest of the EBJ show on night 2 at the top of the hill ’cause I got too tired out from all that crazy dancing. Yeah, I did dance with a couple of drunk women which was fun.

What I like about EBJ shows is that their fanbase are a bunch of cool people. They just get together, act all weird and crazy and just have a blast. Getting rowdy and crazy is a small part of what their shows are about really. EBJ fans look out for each other which is cool. Just dance with random people and act all weird. EBJ shows are all about having fun. If you want to act all silly and dumb at EBJ shows, go ahead. 🙂

EBJ Throwdown was a total blast. If you want to see a lot more pics and video, check out my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/BK0xMQiA4hA/?taken-by=kevbrockmusic

This Throwdown was definitely way better than last year’s and definitely looking forward to next year.

Think I’m pretty much done with Apple Music streaming, don’t really need it…

Leave a comment

So I let my subscription for Apple Music streaming go and let it run out. I don’t think I’m gonna get it back either.  I don’t really need online streaming services ’cause in my opinion, they’re pretty pointless. Apple Music streaming can be pretty frustrating admittedly. A lot of glitches and problems still. So I got out of Apple Music streaming and went back to regular Itunes. So instead of streaming albums online, I’ll go back to buying albums from Itunes on a regular basis which I like better.

Online streaming of albums is trying to change the world but I think it’s gonna fail. Another reason I don’t agree with online streaming services anymore is ’cause I would rather own the album for myself ’cause you don’t own the album when streaming online. Streaming online is kind of like a video rental store which is what I don’t like about it. I would rather buy the album and own it for myself.

So I think I’m done with online music streaming services for good, I think.

While I did used to stream music on Spotify and Apple Music, it was a good opportunity for me to listen to albums I’ve always wanted to hear and I got to hear a lot. I got to stream the entire discography of albums by my favorite artists and bands which was pretty cool anyways.

On top of that, I think it’s better to buy albums off of Itunes as a way to support the artist ’cause they need it. I’m coming to a realization that online streaming services are pretty unfair to the artists.

Trump supporters need to relax on Ted Cruz, I think Ted is trying to unite us!

Leave a comment

So Ted Cruz appears to be on the Trump Train finally and he endorsed Trump. Yeah, it appears that many Trump supporters are angry at Ted  for this. The only reason they believe that Ted is only doing this ’cause they believe Ted thinks he’s going be victorious in this election or something like that.

I don’t think so. For once, I think Ted did a good thing here and I’m willing to give him a chance. Maybe Ted Cruz is just trying to unite the conservative party? Ever since Ted started attacking Donald Trump, he totally divided the conservative movement. Maybe Ted is just trying to get us all back together. Get together and unify the party so we can help destroy Hillary.

As soon as Ted endorsed Trump, all the Trump supporters were quick to badly judge Ted. I can understand how Ted is not to be trusted ’cause I don’t like him either but I’m giving him a chance this time.

Maybe Ted felt bad for getting on the Donald Trump hating bandwagon and wanted to have a change of heart? Ya know, he was part of Trump’s GOP pledge too so maybe Ted is trying to stay faithful to that?

If you call yourself a Trump  supporter, you’re not a true Trump supporter if you don’t support all Trump endorsements. Sorry but I’m not afraid to say that.

I think Ted just wants to bury the hatchet with Trump. Rubio already buried the hatchet with Trump so why not?

Isn’t that what all the Trump supporters wanted from Ted? They wanted Ted to respect Trump and now they’re getting that. Trump supporters are still angry.

It’s funny ya know. Ted Cruz endorsed Trump and the media freaks out. Trump supporters even freaked out too. The same with Trump’s conservative enemies like Glenn Beck, he didn’t like Ted endorsing Trump too.

What Ted did was pretty awesome and I mean that too. I maybe a Trump supporter myself but I’ll admit that sometimes other Trump supporters can drive me crazy. I don’t agree with everything they do.

Why it’s important to support local music as much as possible…

Leave a comment

I love supporting local music. I’ve been a big local music supporter for way over a decade. I love local bands and acoustic artists. Whether they play originals or covers, it doesn’t  matter. I just love music.

I think it’s important to support local music as best as possible ’cause these musicians work hard for what they do. I try my best to make all of them happy by supporting their music. Just by buying their CD’s, t-shirts and going to their shows. You see these days it’s hard to get recognition and it’s hard to get noticed. I do everything I can to help local bands and solo artists out. I just enjoy being helpful.

Each time I go to a local music show, I’ll do my best to make local talent smile by watching their set and after their set, I would support them even more by buying a CD or a t-shirt off of them. When I go to a local music gig, after their performance I usually walk up to the musician and give them a compliment about their set.  That way musicians can go home feeling good ’cause I know bands & musicians don’t get too many people complimenting them these days.

I just enjoy musicians and enjoy supporting them.

Most musicians are really nice and down to earth people though. Many local musicians are pretty humble as well. They don’t take themselves seriously at all. Many local bands around here are not worried about fame or making lots of money at all. They just want to play music and that’s the end of it.

Yeah, I know not all musicians are gonna be nice, though. Some can be assholes and can be a bit egomaniacal but those are the ones you want to ignore.

Supporting local music is good for ya. Another reason is that Albany is not that much of a music scene and it’s hard to get people to support your music so I do all I can to support local bands.

Local bands really love it when you support them. When you show a band your support, they’ll do what they can to give back to ya like free stuff, shoutouts at their shows or even better they can become your friend too.

Supporting local bands is awesome. I would like to go out and see more live local music ’cause I would love to get my chance to see Candy Ambulance and Dryer live. Two other local bands that I love.

I enjoy getting CD’s and other merch from local bands. Whether they give me their stuff for free or not, it’s all good. I don’t mind paying local bands “money” ’cause they really deserve that and need it too.

Over the weekend at the Eastbound Throwdown festival, I bought 6 local albums from four different local acts. Eastbound Throwdown was a total blast. I’ll write a full post about the festival with pics and video tomorrow.

Playstation 4 so far…

Leave a comment

So I just bought the PS4 this year and had it for a little while. I’ve bought 8 games for it so far and currently playing “Batman: Arkham Knight” right now. “Batman: Arkham Knight” is a great game so far. Before I started “Batman: Arkham Knight”, I’ve beat the game “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” which that game is great too.

I’ve got like 6 other games to play though like “Overwatch”, “Until Dawn”, “Call of Duty: Black Ops III”, “Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare”, “Minecraft” and “7 Days to Die”.

I still want to get the games “No Man’s Sky” and “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided” but didn’t get them yet ’cause I want to try to finish the other games I haven’t played yet.

The PS4 is great so far. I’m loving it. I know Sony released a few other PS4 systems just recently like PS4 slim and PS4 Pro but fuck it. I just wanted to get the PS4 so I got the regular PS4. I had to get a PS4 so I can catch up with all the new games since they aren’t releasing PS3 games anymore.

I also know about the Playstation VR that’s coming out, that Playstation Virtual Reality thing and I’m also thinking about getting that sometime down the road.

I love video games. I’ve been a video gamer all my life and still am. It’s just something I’ve grown up on . I’ve been playing video games ever since the original Atari came out and I was a little child back then.

Yoga will help you build strength and lose body fat both at the same time…

4 Comments

One thing I love about Yoga is that it also helps you build more strength and also lose body fat the same time. Yoga is not only exercises for building a little more muscle, it’s also cardio, I’m noticing. You wanna lose weight and lose body fat, Yoga will do it. Yoga is probably the best style of workouts to get you in the best shape of your life. Each week I do Yoga, I get a lot stronger. I get a little better with balancing too.

I’ve been onto Yoga for a couple of weeks now and had about 5 yoga sessions. I love Yoga. Wish I discovered this a long time ago.

Again, since I have scoliosis and the harrington rod, some may say Yoga might be risky for people with scoliosis but not really. Most Yoga is actually pretty safe for me. Only Yoga poses I can’t be doing are backbending stuff ’cause metal can’t bend. Other than that, I can do everything else just fine.

Yoga is pretty fuckin’ awesome. Loving it so far. It really is good for your health and good for your body. Good for your breathing too. There’s too many reasons why Yoga is good.

I plan to stick with Yoga and stay dedicated. Yoga may look boring to you but once you actually do it, you would find it fun and enjoyable. I’m glad I got into it.

I may not be all that flexible yet but give it time and I will be soon.

Video: Hillary mad ’cause she isn’t ahead of Donald Trump in the polls…

Leave a comment

This video is hilarious. Hillary goes on a little rant about why she isn’t 50 points ahead of Donald Trump in the polls. She doesn’t bring up his name at all but she was definitely talking about him.

Do you really want this piece of trash in the White House? A woman who seems to have a temper tantrum and all? Some  would believe that Trump has a temper tantrum but not really. Hillary is the one with the temper tantrum.

This video is hilarious. As she starts to say “Why aren’t I 50 points ahead?”, she starts to raise her voice as if she is about to start yelling.

Donald Trump “winning” is definitely getting under her skin for sure.

Hillary can’t get the hint that the reason she’s not ahead in the polls is ’cause no one likes her. Not only “right-wingers” despise her, there are even some liberals and independent voters that despise her as well.

This woman is obviously mentally unstable and this video proves that. Maybe she really does have brain damage.

We can’t have her in the White House. If we do get her anyways, we’re so screwed.
