I'm a cop. It's okay.

Steven Seagal. Actor. Director. Producer. Blackbelt. Deputy Sheriff. Business Owner. Musician.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I guess I was inspired by everyone blogging about Joaquin Phoenix rapping.

Steven Seagal is a musician. He preforms a type of blues. In my opinion, its not that bad. I mean it's not great, but when you think of Seagal, you don't think musician. You think of a guy who kicks the shit out of people and then mumbles a witty one liner.

I guess you could consider me biased, as I am the proud owner almost every Steven Seagal movie. However, I have this on my iPod and find it to be a lot of fun.

If you have never seen one of his movies, I suggest that you do. Just don't go expecting something worthy of an Oscar. They are a lot of fun. I'd suggest, for you first timers, to see Exit Wounds w/ DMX, Half Past Dead w/ Ja Rule, or Mercenary for Justice.


Here are some other quotes by him. Check them out. They're good.


 This man=My hero.

I get down like Whack-a-mole...

After reading someone else's blog about random movie genres, it made me think about music genres.
I am personally a huge fan of a sub-genre of hip-hop, called Nerdcore. More or less, its rap about "nerd" things, such as videogames, computers, books, etc. MC Lars, MC Frontalot, Ytcracker, and Schaffer the Darklord are all members of that sub-genre. Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew fall in that category, too, but consider themselves "Authentic Pirate Hip-Hop". I strongly suggest checking out nerdcore if you want something fun/different to listen to.


I recently learned of a group called Lord T & Eloise. They're classified as "aristo-crunk". Yes, that's right. They rap about being rich, but in more of a joking manner. It just goes to show you that there are constantly new genres and sub-genres being formed. Not even MySpace can keep up.

Peace. Love. Money.

Shotgun, no blitz!

First things first, if I were Abe Lincoln, I would not want my birthday to be remembered by people talking about how I was killed. I didn't read the article, but there was a front page article in the Patriot Ledger yesterday talking about his death. Its not like he didn't do anything important. Yeah, he's being remembered, but he did a lot of better things that deserve remembering.

Anyways, last night I watched "Destroyed in Seconds" and realized something; there are A LOT of shows involving destruction. Some examples being Most Amazing Videos and that show with the brothers that destroy stuff(Man vs Manmade?). America loves that shit. And so do I. I'm not a violent person and tend to live on the safer side of life, but when it comes to watching stuff explode or people get hurt, I'm all for it, as long as its not me. I guess its along the same lines of America loving football so much; people fighting and attacking each other.

I leave you with this video, that I watch fairly often. No lie.

Until later...

Peace. Love. Money.
Joe.

Insane Stunt Bonus: $29


Billy Mays here with another great product!

I don't care what anyone says, Billy Mays is amazing. He has the ability to sell whatever they put in front of him. He could be selling and I would buy it.

No, I actually haven't ordered anything that he sells, but it doesn't really matter. His marketing technique is beautiful. He catches your attention right off the bat by yelling who he is and what he is selling. But that is not enough. He continues to show enthusiasm the entire time. He also demonstrates the product and it's uses. Not just a couple times, but A LOT. And in the end, there is always some sweet deal if you call right then.

He has not managed to get me to order any of his products yet, but that's mainly because I don't have a need for his products at the time of the commercial. But I do know that it has worked, because one of my friends told me that he went home, and found a supply of Mighty Putty on a shelf, next to some other product he sells.

These videos here are some fun examples of the great Billy Mays

This video here is nothing like Billy, for it is a very relaxed and mellow voice.

And don't forget, Billy Mays is no superhero, just a regular person who has fun and cares about what he does.

I guess, in the end, I'm saying that enthusiasm works. If you care about something, you can sell it.

Peace, Love, Money
Joe.

Okay, Mom. I'll be down in a minute!

Wow. I'm a slacker.

Well, anyways...
I know by now most people have heard or at least  about Christian Bale flipping out at the director of photography on the set of Terminator: Salvation. When I heard it, I was shocked and could not believe what he was saying. But, in the end I couldn't really blame him. I mean, he was so into his character that he just flipped. I don't have a problem with that. The more into a character a person is, the more realistic it seems. So, with the performance he gave in character, ripping the DoP a new one, I can honestly say that I am looking forward for that movie to come out.

Another good thing that came out of his tirade was this song here:
This guy is a genius. This song came out about 12 hours after Bale's flipping out had been made public. Unbelievable. It's amazing how catchy these are.

Check out these other two remixes he had made...

And yes, that is Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

Peace, Love, Money.
