Time for Change

haha Audio and Video are a little off.

The Joker is the Thief

I love stand up comedy and I respect the people who do it well. Such legends as Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, I could go on and on.

It's a skill to constantly come up with fresh original material. Some people are faster at it than others and some are faster at it, because their material is not as original as they want us to believe.

Carlos Mencia, the biggest thief in the history of stand up. I never liked this guy as it was but then to see the proof of how he blatantly steals jokes from other people, makes me really hope to see him completely fall flat on his face.

Don't believe me that he's a thief? See for yourself.



Joe Rogan couldn't take it and kept calling him out on it, which you can check out on youtube, since its like ten minutes long. But good on Rogaan for doing that.

Mencia has admitted to stealing jokes...however, im not sure how sincere he is doing it.



Bottom line is, Carlos Mencia is not funny, the people he steals from are.

Until next time, keep it rockin.

Twas the Night Before Christmas

This is my Christmas Present to all of you. Yes....I am cheap, but hear me out.

This is something you can share with your family, as you gather around the computer with your Egg Nog and fresh baked Christmas cookies and start a new family tradition as you enjoy Twas the Night Before Christmas, as read by my friend and yours, Werner Herzog.



Hope you all have a great Christmas. Stay safe and enjoy time with your family.

Until next time, keep it rockin' :)

We all know a duck

Who hasn't been on facebook and seen a picture of at least one of their friends giving that stupid expression known as a "duck face" while holding up the peace sign?

They're everywhere. Hell, even my Radio instructor in College always made fun of them.

And much like Bieber fever, it has taken over the world and there will always be at least 5 people you know with this abnormality.



If you know someone who has this disorder, show them this and maybe, just maybe, we can finally put a stop to it and have girls go back to smiling nicely for the camera and saying cheese instead of Quack.

Until next time, keep it rockin.

Ode to a humble punk

Eight years ago today we lost, in my opinion, one of the greatest poets of punk rock ever, Joe Strummer.

He was only 50 years old. He died from a congenital heart defect in his home in London.

When you think of punk rockers of the 70's and 80's you think the wild, snot nosed, attitude types who didn't give a shit about anything.

This guy was different from the rest. He had the attitude and was bad ass, but this guy was a political punk rocker form the get-go. You can hear it in his work with The Clash, Mescaleros, and his solo work.

Never one to talk shit about other artists, even after the break up of The Clash despite their reasoning for parting ways



Amazing, humble human being.

You hear his influence in so many bands today, especially Green Day and Rancid who often cite Strummer as an idol and hero.

I strongly suggest checking out Combat Rock, London Calling, and the Live at Shea Stadium Clash albums.

I leave you with one of his most popular works.



Thanks Joe.

Until next time, keep it rockin'

Raging Rudolph

It's been a little bit since I've written in this. Busy with Christmas being just around the corner, getting the shopping and wrapping done. Had a family get together the other day, just simply awesome, especially the food :)

Now that everything is coming together, the only other thing to make it feel like Christmas, is of course, the specials.

We watch the same ones over and over again each year, and they are always just as entertaining. Real classics.

But, what if, you took a classic like Rudolph, and combined it with the classic genius of say, Martin Scorsese?

Raging Rudolph! Enjoy this Mad TV Holiday Classic ;)

Riddle Me This

So it has been revealed that the third installment of the Christopher Nolan, Batman franchise will be called The Dark Knight Rises. Sick.

I'm very excited for this movie as I love Batman and have a collection of comics and graphic novels that I bought from Strange Adventures Comic Shop in Halifax (yea, yea. I gave em a free plug)

Rumors have been going around as to who will play the Villain, said to be The Riddler.


Johnny Depp? Joseph Gordon Levitt? even Eddie Murphy has been tossed around.

How about...no one?

Even more stories are coming out now that Christopher Nolan has gone against having The Riddler in this one.

So riddle me this, who will be the villain? The Joker couldn't possibly come back due to the unfortunate death of Heath Ledger (good luck trying to fill those shoes if they try).

There is the possibility that Two-Face was only "injured" in The Dark Knight.

Or maybe, just maybe they're keeping it a secret so arses like me won't take to the internet to spoil an awesome surprise.
I sure hope so.

Either way the movie will be amazing, no doubt.

However, here's the poster I long to see.

*sigh* In a perfect world. Who do you think would win? Lemme know on here or drop me a line on twitter, @bradfordml


Until next time, keep it rockin'.

The Drug Solution

There has always been a drug problem amongst youth all over the world. No matter where it is you live, somewhere a few blocks away there's a kid experimenting. It's a sad thought, but real.

There is a solution though. It came out back in 1990 and I think is the single reason why I was able to graduate from High School and College, and not be a junkie to this very day.

Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.

It was a George Bush Sr. project that was aired on all the major television networks simultaneously. Don't remember it? Never heard of it?

Here's a sample.



If the Muppet Babies, Garfield, Bugs Bunny, Alf and a shit load of other bad ass cartoon characters can't get you off of drugs...well, then...is there really any help for you at all?

Oh by the way, the Smoke Monster Jack Ass guy, yea, voiced by George C. Scott.

His best performance in his career I say

Oh wait, I suppose there was this small film that might have been decent work by him.



By the way, George C. Scott won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as General George S. Patton, just sayin'.

So there you have it, say no to drugs and watch early 90's cartoons.

Until next time, keep it rockin'.

This is not the Tooth Fairy + Insults 101

The Rock has a new movie coming out called Faster. I'll let the trailer do the talking and leave you with two words, Bad Ass.



It starts tomorrow in theatres. You better have your tickets now.

Oh, and if you were ever in a situation where you couldn't think of that perfect insult to use one someone, here's one of my childhood heroes to help you out.



No jive sucka will be steppin to you anymore.

Until next time, keep it rockin'.

Movember Salute

I understand that yes we are over half way through November and I'm very late with any type of Movember concept, but really, is it ever too late to celebrate the moustache? exactly!

Due to myself having no ability to grow a moustache whatsoever, I decided to pay tribute to a few 'staches that I have grown attached to over the years.

1. Tom Selleck

Really though? What moustache list would be complete without "The Stache"

2. Hiram Lodge

Best known as Veronicas father in Archie Comics. Oh, by the way, he's a millionaire....bet he wouldn't be if he had a shaved face...think about it.

3. Ned Flanders

Remember when it was revealed that he's a senior citizen? what do you think he owes that to? That's right, his cookie duster.

4. Sheamus

This guy became WWE Champion in six months, faster than any other superstar in the history of the WWE. Is it because it's all scripted television and they already know who's going to win? Possibly, but the reason they wrote that to happen? The badass moustache.

So there's my tribute to some badass moustaches. Make sure you donate to the cause while you can, it is definitely worth it.

Maybe next year I can rock a Sheamus or Hiram and great things will come my way.

The Magic Hockey Helmet

If you know anyone at all who plays or has played minor hockey as a kid, watch this please. Learn about some shit some little kids out there deal with and take.

This kid is nine years old and brilliant.



I'm putting my nephews in Jiu Jitsu to beat up asshole hockey parents.

On a side note I went to Maine and left on Remembrance Day. We had arrived at the border just as the two minutes of silence was happening. While passing through a neighborhood in St. Stephen, I looked over and saw a paper boy who was no older than 10-11, stopped in the property he was delivering to, with his hat off and head lowered. It made me teary eyed. Kids deserve more credit when it comes to respecting Veterans and the past.

Until next time, keep it rockin'.

It's not always sunny in Sackville

But it is in Philadelphia.

Are you watching this show yet? You better be.

The cast describe it as "Seinfeld on Crack", which isn't far from the truth and it definitely lives up to the Seinfeld reference as far as how funny it is.

I was told about this show a few times before but it wasn't until a couple of months ago I decided to randomly by the first couple of seasons on DVD. Best purchase decision of the decade.

I haven't been able to find it on any Channels so far, but I do know if you are lucky enough to have the FX Channel, then you are one lucky sonuva gun.

If you haven't been blessed to view it yet, or have been under a rock. well, here's a chat with three of the stars, Rob McElhenny who plays Mac, Charlie Day who plays Charlie and Glenn Howerton who plays Dennis.



It also stars Kaitlin Olson as Dee, Dennis' twin sister, and Danny frickin' Devito (reason enough to watch) who plays Frank.

On another note, I've seen a lot of people profit from their blogs using advertising, so I thought I'd give it a go.

*ed. note* I receive no money at all for this, just a good laugh everytime because I'm immature.

Chat Room Etiquette - Brad Edition

As I touched on in the last blog, I was in a chat room recently and just can't help but be baffled by how unsafe some people are when they go in these.

So after a few things I took notice of I decided to take it upon myself to help you out if you ever find yourself in a chat room and start to feel yourself about to do something stupid.

1. Never EVER give you your phone number - I could not believe the amount of people openly giving out their numbers to text with people. You're already in a room where you can talk to these people, and there is no mobility charge. Ever wonder why the person will decline to actually talk to you over the phone but will text no problem? Because you will figure out very quickly that SunshineSweetness, the self proclaimed sweet 17 year old girl from California is actually Rick, the 45 year old tilt-a-whirl operator.

2. Don't use provocative/dirty/haggard nicknames - I remember when I would use a nickname it would be something like Davey Havok (singer for the pop/punk band AFI). It's obviously not my real name, yet it's not something makes me look like a predator (I am not giving tips for predators here). Also when someones name is BigSexy McAbs, who describes themselves as 6'2", ripped athlete is most likely sitting there in their stained jogging pants, wider than they are tall eating a pot of Kraft Dinner for breakfast.

3. Don't try to fulfill disgusting sex fantasies - I actually saw someone looking for someone to have a fake marriage and/or rape.....I'm not even expanding on that because if you can't figure out what's wrong with that, I don't want you reading my blogs anymore.

4. Don't be an active douche - "GenericLoner: *walks over to Chickie22 and shakes her hand*" No...No you didn't, you sat there and typed that out. This isn't a real room with a gigantic, in person meet and greet. If that's what you need to do to feel like your making a physical connection with people, then you get your ass up, run down to the YMCA or YWCA and sign up for as many classes and activities as you can, because you obviously have the time for them.

I hope this has been educational for you, and remember, it only takes on time of Cyber Sex to get a virus, abstinence will keep your computer and my opinion of you, clean.

Classic literature on tape and a Chat Room

I am in no way taking credit for finding this.

I am a big fan of Drive Jock, Fearless Fred from 102.1 The Edge in Toronto, and I constantly read his blog.

He had posted this in his and I felt it would be a damn crime if I did not further spread this and its' awesomeness.



There are many more that he reads such as Curious George, so check them out.

On a different note, did you know that people still use chat rooms? And openly try to have cyber sex under the name BigJohnson69, horrible. It's people like that that will cause the downfall of civilization and cause Planet of The Apes to become reality.

If you see anyone like this (cause you use a chat room of course), tell them that a baby raccoon dies everytime they ask if there's any single hot chicks that wanna nasty chat.

Viva La Velasquez

After watching three weeks of UFC Primetime, the hype machine was in full force for the UFC Heavyweight Title fight between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez at UFC 121.

I'm a big Lesnar fan. The man is a huge beast, with insane speed for being 265Lbs, but I couldn't help but feel doubt after seeing the training for his undefeated opponent, Cain Velasquez.

20 pounds lighter than Lesnar, Velasquez has remarkable endurance and stamina which would keep the steam in his engine if the fight were to go five rounds. But a five round fight was not the case, and history has been made as Cain Velasquez beat Brock four minutes into round 1, in an intense showing of timing and striking. Cain made history becoming the first Mexican heavyweight champion.

Here's the fight if you missed it, or at least curious



Junior Dos Santos is next in line for a title shot against Velasquez, which will be a helluva fight.

Brock is set to have his rubber match with Frank Mir.

Cole Harbours' TJ Grant is set to fight Ricardo Almeida at UFC 124 on Saturday, December 11th. Grant won his last fight at UFC 119 by Unanimous decision against Julio Paulino.
The event will be headlined by The Ultimate Fighter 11 coaches, Josh Koscheck and the UFC Welterweight Champion, Georges St. Pierre from Quebec.

As the kids say, it's going to be dope, son.

Why isn't EVERY High School doing this?

It's been some years since I sat in a High School classroom, about seven and a half to be exact.

Throughout those 3.5 years, I was never one of the popular ones, never one of the "dirty ones", never the nerd, never the jock or any of those stereotypes.

I was what you would call a "floater", I would talk to everyone as long as they weren't jerks, but I've seen a lot of people from those groups separate themselves from others for stupid differences. They didn't like the way people dressed, who they hung out with, or even something as stupid as not partying every weekend.

No matter what, there will always be these people who have to distance themselves from others for such ridiculous, stupid reasons, and not take the time to really get to know people.

MTV has this show called if you really knew me. I finally had a chance to watch this show and I won't lie, it got me teary eyed.

It made me think of how high school was for me and other people I knew who had a rough time with others. I wish I could go back in time and start something like this show, but all we can really do now is learn from this show, our mistakes and educate younger people on why differences such as race, hair, beliefs, friends, music don't matter and how we need to be able to say "hello" with a smile to someone who may not be our best friend, but who may need that simple, honest gesture to help make their day better.

Timing is everything

I could go on a rant about timing leading to the perfect opportunity for a better life, job, relationship, etc.

But no, I'm a huge Randy Orton fan, and if there's one thing this guy is good at in the ring, it's timing.



I know it's scripted, but it's like an actor messing up his lines if it doesn't look good.

UFC Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar "messed up a line" and it still makes me cringe



obviously that did nothing to stop his career if you know anything at all of Brock Lesnar

Thanksgiving has come and gone, I'm stuffed. Hope yours was good and now we can look forward to Halloween :D

Until next time, Keep it rockin'

The coldest of hearts can even be warmed

I don't know about you, but I love the show Undercover Boss. If you haven't heard of it, it's a show where usually a CEO of a company goes undercover to work along side the unsung heroes at the bottom of the totem pole of the company they run.

Along the way they learn the struggles both in and out of the job some of these people face everyday and in the end, they make some pretty big changes to the company and for the employees they got to know.

It's definitely an emotional roller coaster of a show that you should definitely check out.

The next time you think a CEO, COO, or evil Mad Scientist can't ever put themselves in your shoes, think again.

8-Bit, Yo!

They could release this game and it would be a best seller amongst the tanned, Ed Hardy lovers, although I think some of them would have problems figuring out the controls.

Got High Score Bro, let's fist pump!

Early education is the key

No lies, I've been a professional wrestling fan since I was 4 years old. My oldest sister got me into it, and since then there's been no looking back. However, the first thing my sister made sure to do was to educate me on how it was scripted and that the people I was watching, who seemed larger than life (still do) were not really fighting and did not hate each other.

This guy though, as well as many others who I know personally, believe in it a bit too much.




But I guess, at least he has something to believe in?

Then there's the stereotypical dumbasses who make me embarrassed to call myself a fan, but proud to see that Ring of Honor wrestler, Austin Aries, can take care of himself even when he's not scripted to do so.

Have a laugh with this one.



hahahaha, that is visual gold.

Ode to an amazing Artist and Woman

My mom is on facebook and has albums up of old photos that I just had to look at. They all had me teary eyed, whether it was from laughing at the old styles and ways or just from old memories that were amazing and have slipped my mind until seeing that again.

I came across another one of her albums and I really paid attention I think for the first time since I was 6 or so to what an amazing artist she really is. She has been oil painting for a long time since before she had me or my sisters and she still does it to this day which I think is just remarkable.

She's very modest about what she does and has thought of putting them in galleries when the offer was there but then thought, "It's not good enough" (hmmm so that's where I get it from) but I can tell you it's too good for any ol' gallery.

Here's some of her work that I would like to share with you.

















Those are just a few samples of her work.

An amazing talent from an amazing woman who has put up with a lot, and overcame it without ever raising her fists or her voice, yes, it can be done.

Until Next Time, Keep It Rockin' :)

We all can relate

If there was ever a time you wanted to know a little bit more about me.

Just watch this. (For a mature audience only, hey, you've been fairly warned)



R.I.P. George Carlin, you gave me the best education on life
