Neil Young’s Pono player already creating a buzz online…

Leave a comment

As expected, Neil Young’s Pono Player is already creating a huge buzz online after his launch announcement. Music lovers are already excited about it ’cause his kickstarter service already reached his goal in 1 day which is no surprise.

I think this is a good enough sign that Pono Music is gonna be HUGE in the future. The Pono player maybe a bit pricey for now but I’m sure Neil will bring down the price some when ever it starts selling real good. I think there’s a good chance that a lot of people will be curious about this so they will buy the Pono player and once they discover they love it… they’ll ditch Itunes and go to Pono instead. Yep, Pono is the future of digital music.

I wonder what music would sound like from the original master recording of albums? I’m sure it will have a louder and clearer sound, though. That’s the goal with Pono… to listen to the original recording of the album that was recorded in the studio. The major labels will have to send the original master recordings of albums to Pono.

Neil still listens to music the old school way. He prefers to listen to music on vinyl. Maybe that’s what the Pono player will sound like a little bit? He prefers to record his own music in the studio the old way as well ’cause he records all of his albums on analog only.

Neil looks at things differently than we all do. He’s an honest guy and I like what he’s doing here.

Bill O’ Reilly slams “Between Two Ferns” video and sorry to say, I agree with him…

Leave a comment

O’ Reilly is so right that this raises questions and Obama is pretty desperate. Like I said before, Obama is just trying to win back the respect he lost. It is bad timing that he would do something like this.

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/03/12/bill-oreilly-slams-obamas-appearance-on-between-two-ferns-with-zach-galifianakis/

It also proves that Obama has a huge ego problem.

I think the reason that some people who still support Obamacare and they even still support Obama himself is that I think people feel sorry for him. Obama supporters knows that he isn’t liked too much by most Americans so they still stick with him ’cause of their ignorance and their own ego. Anybody who acts like Obama does nothing wrong also supports Obama secretly and they will never admit it.

It’s pretty “Verifiable” that Obama is a bad man and America just doesn’t want to wake up.

Just wait until the truth comes out of Benghazi and Operation: F&F. You’ll be sorry that you did voted for him and supported him after all these years, trust me. You’ll regret it, trust me.

Egyptian woman calls out President Obama…

Leave a comment

Now this video is a lot better than that “Between Two Ferns” crap. An Egyptian woman is seen here ranting about President Obama. Telling him to shut up and gives him warnings that they will never replace, President Morsi.

Even the Egyptians know how President Obama is. The whole world hates the guy, not just the USA.

So let me ask you a question, guys. Is this woman a racist for hating on Obama? Is she a crazed right-wing conspiracy theorist? LOL! Wake up, you ignorant pieces of shits!

Does Mel Gibson deserve a second chance in Hollywood? I’d say yes, absolutely!!!

Leave a comment

Deadline is begging Hollywood and movie fans to give actor/director, Mel Gibson, a second chance in the mainstream due to the 10th Anniversary of “The Passion”. Everybody knows that Mel got into a lot of trouble for his anti-semitic rant in 2006.

Read more here:

http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/tv/tvguide/article/Does-Mel-Gibson-Deserve-Another-Chance-5308634.php

After 2006, Mel took a couple of years off of making movies but he returned in 2010 with the action/thriller, “Edge of Darkness”, in which he played the leading role. Then he starred in Jodie Foster’s, “The Beaver”, and released the straight-to-DVD film, “Get The Gringo”, he also played a role in “Machete Kills”.

Mel Gibson will next star in “Expendables 3” as the main villain.

Do I think Mel deserves a second chance in Hollywood? Yes, absolutely! In the past, I used to be upset with Mel’s anti-semitic rant myself but I got over it. You should do the same. People make mistakes. We all make ’em. It’s about learning from your mistakes and moving on. That’s what Mel did. He learned from his mistakes and moved on. He was really drunk and wasted around the time he said those things so I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it ’cause drunk people can say stupid shit, believe me.

Love him or hate him… Mel is a talented man. He’s a good actor, writer, and film director. Like most people, “Braveheart” is one of my favorite films and I think “Apocalypto” is an amazing film as well. Of course, “The Passion” was great also. He made too many great films. I love all the Mad Max movies and of course, the Lethal Weapon series.

Of course, there will be tons of ignorant people who WILL NEVER move on from the anti-semitic stuff. There will always be people who will try to bring Mel down no matter what he does. I’m sure there will be campaign groups trying to get “The Expendables 3” banned in the USA ’cause of Mel Gibson. Wait ’til that film comes out.

Mel continues to work in Hollywood despite all of his troubles ’cause that’s what the man does. He makes movies for a living.

Mel deserves a second chance in Hollywood. I think it’s time to forgive and forget. Mel deserves it. He may seem like an asshole but in reality, I think he might be a great guy. He’s human just like the rest of us.

I think he deserves to be a big part of Hollywood again. Give him a break and let him live his life. He seems like a changed man and he’s getting better.

President Obama is just trying to win respect back with that Zach Galifianakis video, nothing more…

Leave a comment

After the last 4 or 5 years of his presidency, President Obama have lost a lot of respect with the American people. After his “Lets Move” video w/ Joe Biden and now here comes this video w/ Obama being featured as a guest on Zach Galifianakis’s show, “Between Two Ferns”. Sure enough, Obama’s “Between Two Ferns” have gone viral and have made the rounds of all social media. Well, this is just Obama’s way of trying to win his respect back. He’s not only trying to promote Obamacare to a younger audience, he’s also trying to win the respect that he have lost over the years. Sure enough, liberals are all over this video… kissing Obama’s ass by saying stuff like, “OMG, Obama’s the best president ever, hilarious”, blah blah blah. This video have been re-shared quite a bit on my facebook newsfeed and I’m just sick of seeing it everywhere.

You do realize that when you support this video and enjoy what Obama did in it, you are supporting an evil madman? This is just further proof of how bad liberal media is getting. Obama is a man who is trying his best to destroy this country. Murdering innocent people, dropping drones all over the place, signing laws no one likes, spying, wiretapping, IRS, Benghazi, Operation: F&F, birthplace fraud, etc. blah blah blah, the list goes on. Just a bunch of misinformed people who don’t ever want to wake up about Obama and that includes the host of that video Zach Galifianakis.

I refuse to watch this video ’cause I refuse to support anything that Obama tries to do “positively”. He’s trying to promote Obamacare on a positive note and a lot of people are misinformed about that trainwreck of a health law. If you think it’s a good health law, then you’re fuckin’ delusional. Even the young audience who Obama is trying to promote would know it’s a horrible health law. If you sign yourself up to Obamacare, not knowing anything about it… you are misinformed and uneducated. Shame on Zach for agreeing to do this interview to promote a bad health law no one likes. Obamacare is clearly set out to ruin people’s lives. This law needs to be repealed.

I can’t wait to see how America is going to react when Obama is finally exposed for Benghazi/Operation: F&F. Obama is no king or hero. He would have made Joseph Stalin and Hitler proud. Why would people still support this son of a bitch after everything he’s done to America? This liar and fraud that he is.

Respect isn’t demanded for, Obama, it is earned. If Obama wants more respect, why don’t he come clean with Benghazi and Operation: F&F???

Local music

Check out this cool band named, Engloria…

Leave a comment

I just discovered this new local band in the Capital Region. Their name is, Engloria. Look like they’re trying to bring back the 90’s alternative-era of rock music. Check out their song, “Gonna Be Late” in the video below. They released their album, “Evolver”, for free exclusively for the internet.

I really dig the band’s sound and I’m gonna give their album a listen soon.

We need more bands/artists giving out free music like this. This is kind of the similar idea of what I’m planning with my “internet album” is give it out for free, just like Engloria did here.

I really dig the song below. Dig the video too. Check it out.

China going through a lot of tragedy right now, my heart goes out to them…

Leave a comment

China is going through two different tragedies right now. First, at least 30 people were murdered at a China subway station by knife-wielding terrorists and now they have a Malaysia plane that mysteriously disappeared. All of this is crazy and scary as hell.

I don’t wanna blame both of those on the Obama administration just yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if Muslim (maybe Al Qaeda too) people were behind them. It is not yet known whether or not the Malaysia plane disappearance had something to do with terrorism but I’m calling that a plane hijacking, for sure. Keep in mind that’s how 9/11/01 happened… just a reminder. No matter how tough security gets at airports around the world, terrorists will always find their way around plane hijacking. It’s never gonna stop no matter how the airport security tries to fight it.

I don’t think they’re ever going to find that plane (if there ever was one). Anyway, it’s terrible stuff of what China is going through and my heart goes out to them. No country deserves to be a victim of terrorism.

I don’t think the Obama administration will do anything to help just like they won’t do anything with Russia and Ukraine.

I hope the Chinese gets answers for these terrible crimes and hope the people who committed them will be held accountable. I’m sure you’re wondering about my thoughts on this so I decided to give my quick thoughts.

Sharyl Attkisson, journalist from CBS mysteriously resigns with no explanation…

Leave a comment

https://twitter.com/SharylAttkisson/status/443092710535471104

First, Lara Logan was forced to leave CBS due to her “Benghazi” report on 60 Minutes and now it’s looking like that Sharyl Attkisson is going through the same thing. Sharyl is known for her reporting about “Benghazi” and “Operation: Fast and Furious” crimes. She’s one of the very few in news media reporting the stories on “Benghazi” and “Operation: F&F”. I totally blame the Obama administration for forcing these two women out of CBS ’cause they simply knew a little bit too much.

This just kind of shows that the Obama administration has complete control over media. They’re trying their best to get Benghazi out of the media spotlight. This violates the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Sharyl should stay low for a while and she should have bodyguards everywhere she goes. I wonder what fatal accident awaits her? Mysterious car crash? A heart attack? I hate this administration and can’t wait until they’re out in 2016.

Hey Obama, in case you’re reading this by spying on my computer… you can keep “Benghazi” and “Operation: F&F” off the news all you want to, you’re gonna be held accountable for both, you fucking murdering scum bag piece of shit.

Neil Young will finally launch his long-awaited Pono Player…

Leave a comment

Ever since Apple & Itunes got big, Neil Young hasn’t been too impressed with today’s sound of MP3 players and the Ipod. He just doesn’t like how the sound of the mp3 gets dummied down from the original recording. You know how when you record music on an album and you convert it to Mp3 for the internet, the sound goes down a little bit? That’s what Neil doesn’t want. He wants to stop that from happening so you can get a good, loud, and clean sound out of an mp3. That’s what the Pono player does. On the Pono player you can hear the original sound from the original recording… one that doesn’t lower the resolution of sound.

I’m sure some would accuse Neil Young of wanting to make more money and to please himself with the sound but it’s not true. He wants to improve the sound of digital music for the world. He’s doing this for all of us music lovers.

Pono Music will be launched this week on March, 15th, and the Pono player will cost $399 each.

More on the story here:

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/neil-young-to-launch-21st-century-music-service-ponomusic-this-week-20140310

Could Neil Young change the future of digital music? Could Pono Music take over the spotlight of Apple/Itunes? I predict yes. Pretty soon, Apple/Itunes will be a thing of the past and something new will come around. I think that will be Neil’s, Pono Music. It may take some time but Pono Music will be big.

I’ll have to agree with Neil though that the sound quality on today’s mp3 is horrible. We deserve better sound quality.

I’m curious on what Pono sounds like myself. I’m sure it will sound way better than the Ipod. I think what Neil is doing is pretty heroic and I wish him luck on this.

Fitness goals for the Spring/Summer

Leave a comment

I think I figured out my problem on why I have been struggling on getting some gains on the chest pecs. It’s because I haven’t been hitting them hard enough. For the past couple of months or so, I figured out a way to hit my chest hard so they can get some muscle gains. I need to do more push-ups and heavier weight training. I’m staying away from bench pressing ’cause I find that exercise overrated and it’s kind of cheating a bit. I want to find other ways to get bigger chest pecs by either body workouts or dumbbell stuff. I’ll do cable crossovers at the gym sometimes and that’s way more effective. Any chest workout that has the squeezing motion like cable crossovers or dumbbell flies will be the most effective. I did that stuff at the gym last week and my chest pecs felt really sore for the next couple of days. That’s what I gotta do more. Go for the “No Pain, No Gain” rule. This Spring/summer, I think I’m gonna try to find ways to beef up my chest even more.

I’m gonna try to get better with nutrition too.

Even though the Spring/Summer is just around the corner, I still seemed to be working out throughout the fall/Winter. I take very little time off from working out. No on and off for me. I go all year round. With Spring/Summer just being around the corner, I’ll be able to do outside cardio a lot more often like biking, jogging or just walking.

Goal for this Spring/Summer to get bigger, stronger and more leaner!
