Frictional Friday 1 [The Saturday Edition]

BAAAMM!!


Yeah, I know.. It's Saturday, and there's no new blog yesterday.. Well, I was caught up by a busy schedule.. And by busy schedule, I mean gaming non-stop until I totally forgot about this no-one-cares-to-visit-let-alone-read page.. Ahhh, what a week.. I was planning to write a 5-paragraph blog today, so let's see how it goes..

Yes, I was busy gaming.. You might be wondering what game was I playing.. Let me correct that, it's "what GAMES was I playing".. Well, I played like 8, 9 titles yesterday.. Here are some of them..

Audiosurf (for the PC). One of the best games I have ever played.. You know Guitar Hero, Rock Band, blah blah blah?? This is way better than those.. You choose the car (basically the game mode) that you want, and then you choose a music, ANY music in your computer (or hard disk, pendrive, blah blah blah) for you to ride or surf on.. Awesome, isn't it?? Well, my description kinda sucks anyway..

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2011 (for the PS2). Indeed one of the best game of the Smackdown Vs Raw series.. I was playing the Universe mode, which is kinda similar to the Smackdown 2's Season mode, except for the fact that you are not choosing a specific wrestler, but the whole show.. It's like Season + GM + Career mode.. Nuff said.. Also have just started the Vs Undertaker Road To Wrestlemania mode using Dolph Ziggler.. Thank God there's no Vickie Guerrero in that game..

Fisherman's Bait: Big Ol' Bass 2, also known as Fisherman's Bait 3 (for the PS, not to be confused with Fisherman's Bait 2: Big Ol' Bass for the same console). The most awesome fishing game ever made for mankind.. Seriously.. It's not as boring as most fishing games are.. Cool background music, lovely sound effects, great commentary.. I love it when it says "fish on" or "monster".. Golden.. Besides, what other fishing games that would let you fish a T-Rex?? Exactly..

Well, enough of my gaming world.. Now, for the frictional part (wasn't the whole blog supposed to be frictional?? whatever).. 10 days ago, my ex-classmates and I had thrown a farewell party, as we are no longer going to school next year (hoorah??).. It was held at a beach near the town.. Guess how I went there?? No, not by bus.. Not even trying to walk there.. And no, not by a flying carpet of some sort.. Guess what?? My S.O's mother sent me there.. Hell yeah!! She gave me a ride.. Awesome.. Upon reaching there, I was forced to go elsewhere as the organizer(s) was (were) setting up the games.. Haha.. So I got some time to talk trash (let's just call it a small conversation, shall we??) with my S.O and her very supportive (laughing out loud at this point, haha) sister.. It was a cool day, except for the torturing games.. Seriously, I dislike those games.. Yet I took part.. You know, being supportive or something like that.. Whatever.. Our Chemistry teacher even brought his family as well!! Unfortunately, he was the only teacher to join us.. Well, there's another one, but she left soon after delivering a cake for us.. I never really had a chance to taste that cake, as we (as in me, S.O and sis) went home early.. Yeah, their mother sent me back as well.. Hah.. Got to swim a little bit.. Ate a couple of fried chicken with some French fries.. Overall, a good day.. Well, it's always a good day when I get to meet my S.O.. Haha..

Anyway, this past Wednesday, my S.O and her family went to the town library.. Don't know why.. Kinda weird, if you ask me.. Haha.. Had quite a long chat with sis on Facebook.. Yet a very, very, very short conversation with my S.O.. And by short, I mean a total of 34 words used.. 18 sent, 16 received.. Yet, it's still great.. That's my point.. I don't care if it's just her shadow, a 2-letter word that comes from her mouth, or even a glimpse of her.. She makes my day.. (how is this frictional?? haha)

Well, I guess that's it for today.. Wow, at least I reached my 5-paragraph quota.. Haha.. See you guys on Monday.. Music Monday will be awesome!! Same goes to the next Frictional Friday (or Saturday, like this one, haha)!! Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: I got a lot to say to you, so ignore this note and let's hope for a longer conversation soon.. :)

Wrestling Wednesday 1 [The TLC Edition]

BAAAMM!!

My first Wrestling Wednesday is here!! Here I am going to review last week's Smackdown, the TLC pay-per-view and the latest Monday night Raw!! (no Tribute To The Troops and Superstars, sorry) And by the way, I will only review the matches.. So if you're not down with that, sorry..

Friday Night Smackdown


Watch while this vid is not taken down..

#1 - Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger vs Kaval and Kofi Kingston, Tag Team match. Sweet! Kaval's second victory on Smackdown! Kaval deserves a huge push.. Seriously.. Beautiful double suicide dive (or tope, whatever) by Kaval and Kofi.. Awesome counter by Kaval, from a roll up to a standing Warrior's Way.. A great back and forth match, where Kofi pinned Dolph after the Trouble In Paradise.. After the match, Jack dropped Dolph with a stiff punch.. **** match. Winner: Kofi Kingston and Kaval

#2 - Chris Masters vs Cody Rhodes, Singles match. A quick, short match booked to push Cody.. It's kinda awesome to see Cody getting the push that he deserves, but burying Chris is not.. I would not condone a slap in a wrestling match, but that slap Chris gave Cody was sick!! Listen to the shot!! Chris doing a knife edge chop.. I thought it was banned?? Whatever.. Cody pinned Chris after the Cross Rhodes.. **1/2 match. Winner: Cody Rhodes


#3 - Miz vs Rey Mysterio, Singles match. An above average match.. It's good to see matches like this on a WWE televised show.. Alex Riley continued to show his 'loyalty' (some would call it s*cking up) to the Miz.. And then we have Alberto Del Rio interfering.. Epic interference there!! Look at the way he tripped Rey while Rey was trying for a 619.. That was awesome!! Alberto is golden (except for his mic skills, of course).. Miz got the pin after countering a springboard splash by Rey.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz


#4 - Chavo Guerrero and Tyler Reks vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Tag Team match. Again, a push/bury match.. Santino and Vladimir gets pushed while Chavo's career is running straight to the ground.. Why the hell is Tyler joining Chavo's ride to flop?? Santino and Vlad was awesome, as always.. Now that's pure entertainment.. Santino won via a school boy after hitting the Cobra.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov


#5 - Alberto Del Rio and Miz vs Edge and Rey Mysterio, Tag Team match. I hate it when a superstar wrestles in 2 match at the same night.. Except for a case of tournament.. Another tag match?? Wow.. Let me keep this short and sweet.. Kane comes in and smacks Edge down.. DQ victory, I guess.. And they went for a brawl, as the whole roster tried to split them up.. Boom!! Chokeslam to Trent Baretta.. Bam!! Spear to kane.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Edge and Rey Mysterio


Overall, a great episode of Smackdown.. Good times: Kaval won, Dashing tips from Cody Rhodes, Kaitlyn backstage, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov..

Sunday Night TLC

#1 - Dolph Ziggler vs Jack Swagger vs Kofi Kingston for the Intercontinental Championship, Ladder match. An awesome match!! Jack looks like he has injured his hand or wrist there.. And Dolph wins by a fumble?? What the fail?? That brings the rating down a bit.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Dolph Ziggler


#2 - Beth Phoenix and Natalya Neidhart vs Laycool, Tag Team Tables match. A flawless match, except for the way Beth bumped her neck when being thrown by Michelle McCool.. The finish is quite awesome too.. Natalya with a diving cross body onto Laycool through a pink table.. One of the best diva matches of the year.. **** match. Winner: Natalya and Beth Phoenix.


#3 - Nexus vs Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, for the Tag Team Championship, Tag Team match. Totally Lethal Cobra!! Yet another failed ending to an entertaining match.. Duh.. On behalf oh Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, Michael McGillicutty interfered thus resulting to a DQ.. After the match, the Nexus strikes again.. Wade Barrett joins in and smacks Santino and Vladimir with a chair.. *** match. Winner: Santino Marella and Vladimri Kozlov


#4 - John Morrison vs Sheamus O'Shaunessy for the WWE Champion #1 Contendership, Ladder match. Back and forth and back and forth and back yet still going further.. Cool match.. John + ladder = awesomeness.. Sheamus went through hell, yet is still fighting back.. Crazy.. John grabs the contract after knocking Sheamus down long enough with a Flash Kick-like move.. **** match. Winner: John Morrison


#5 - Miz vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, Tables match. Not really what I was expecting, but cool.. Randy powerbombs the loyal Alex Riley through the table, just to be Skull Crushing Finaled by the Miz.. Miz moves Alex from the broken table and puts Randy in that place.. The ref wakes up and thought that it was over, hence the bell is rang.. But that ref catches the replay, and restarts the match.. Miz launches Alex onto Randy who falls from the apron through a table.. Bam.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Miz


#6 - Alberto Del Rio vs Edge vs Kane vs Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship, TLC match. When Edge is in a TLC match, it's a great match.. Nuff said.. Edge Spears Kane from the apron onto a table, climbed a ladder and unhooks the title.. **** match. Winner: Edge


#7 - John Cena vs Wade Barrett, Chairs match. Of all the glorified titles in the company, none of it is on the line in the main event.. What match would've end this night?? John Cena's match.. Boo hoo.. Yes, I'm not a Cena fan.. Attitude Adjustment on Wade onto heaps of chairs, and Supercena did it again.. The ending failed.. Wade saved the rating of the match.. *** match. Winner: John Cena


Overall, a good pay-per-view.. It's not great, thanks to the main event winner.. Good times: epic matches, Beth Phoenix's supremacy, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov's slot, Nexus attack, twisty ending in several matches, Laycool through a pink table, Edge in a TLC match, CM Punk commentating the main event..

Monday Night Raw


Watch while this vid is not taken down..

#1 - Alicia Fox vs Eve Torres vs Melina Perez for the Divas Champion #1 Contendership, Triple Threat match. It's great to see 3 talented going against each other in the ring while another is commentating.. The Divas Champion, Natalya Neidhart is on commentary.. Melina rolls Alicia for the pin as a counter of a cross body block doomsday device.. Yeah, sounds awesome, doesn't it? Natalya comes into the ring to congratulate the new #1 contender for her title, only to get b*tchslapped by Melina.. Heel turn, heel turn, yeah, yeah!! ***1/2 match. Winner: Melina Perez


#2 - Daniel Bryan vs William Regal, Singles match. 2 of the most technically sound superstars compete in the ring, while the Bella Twins accompany one of them.. Half of the statement just doesn't sound right.. William submitted out of the LeBell Lock.. ****1/2 match. Winner: Daniel Bryan


#3 - Maryse Ouellet and Ted DiBiase Jr vs Santino Marella and Tamina Snuka, Mixed Tag Team match. Santino's awesome, as always.. Ted, uhmm, no comment.. Tamina pins Maryse after a Superfly.. ***1/2 match. Winner: Tamina Snuka and Santino Marella


#4 - Dolph Ziggler vs John Cena, Singles match. Supercena wins, Attitude Adjustment.. CM Punk smacks John with a steel chair to give John a taste of his own medicine.. God bless Phil Brooks.. ***1/2 match. Winner: John Cena


#5 - Alex Riley, Miz and Sheamus O'Shaunessy vs Jerry Lawler, John Morrison and Randy Orton, 6 Men Tag Team match. Where else can we see 2 kings on the opposite corners?? Where else can we see former tag team buddies (even champions at some time) on the opposite corners?? And where else can we see Randy and Alex on the opposite corners?? Well, forget the last part.. It's meaningless.. Jerry in action again!! Hooray!! Jerry scores the victory pin after the Miz got RKOed by Randy.. **** match. Winner: Jerry Lawler, John Morrison and Randy Orton


Another great WWE TV programming.. Good times: CM Punk's commentary, Melina's heel turn, Santino and Vladimir Kozlov's skit, CM Punk smacking John Cena with a chair, Jerry Lawler in action, Daniel Bryan takes on his mentor William Regal..

Well, that's it for this week's Wrestling Wednesday. A great week, nonetheless.. Come back next week for another exciting (never meant to brag, but, haha) review of WWE Monday Night Raw and Tuesday Night Smackdown.. Yes, Tuesday night.. And I will only have my Superstar of the Week column on PPV-less week.. So stay tuned for that.. Also, this Friday will be my first Frictional Friday as I will talk about something personal for me; MY LIFE.. Yes, I'm still thinking of what the hell am I supposed to write about on Fridays.. Until then.. Make sure you'll be there..

Short note to my S.O: Good to have a small chat with you on Facebook.. When I say small, it means 18 sent and 16 received words.. Well, that's enough to call December 22nd, 2010 a good day.. :)

Music Monday 1 [The Farro Brothers Edition]

Bam..

Unfortunately, my first Music Monday starts with a weak bang, as I have heard about a sad (but true) news of my favorite band, Paramore.. For those of you who have yet to hear the news, it's about Joshua 'Josh' Farro (the guitarist of Paramore) and his brother, Zachary 'Zac' Farro (drummer) parting ways with the band.. This is just unreal.. What's happening to this world?? Hayley said that they (the Farros) are no longer happy in the band, and it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be in the band anymore.. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FRICKING KIDDING ME. I mean really?? I know Josh has been really down in his recent performances (more about this later), but what about Zac?? (again, more about this later) Hayley has also said that none of them (the whole band) are really shocked, and they want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if it isn't here with Paramore, then they support the Farros finding happiness elsewhere.. And she said that they don't wanna leave this all behind, so apparently they're not breaking up.. Yeah, they're pulling up a Lady Antebellum with two guys and a girl in the band.. And what's really weird right here is at the end of the statement, she didn't wrote "Goodbye Josh and Zac, we'll be missing you" or "Good luck in your future endeavors" or any crap like that.. (for the full announcement, click here...) Anyway, I'm sure that most of you have already known that I am a huge Parawhore. So you should know by now that I'm not just gonna sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as the Farros leave and Paramore tours with those Kaiser Chiefs members.. So I've Googled for some info on this news, and these are MY top 3 reasons as to why the Farro brothers leave the global phenomenon known as Paramore..

#3 - JOSH IS JOINING FOX AVENUE. Come on, the news have been spreading all over the net.. And Zac is leaving to show his loyalty and support to his big bro. But for me, there's no way they're leaving the band when they're at the peak of their career.. That brings me to reason #2..

#2 - JOSH WANTS MORE TIME WITH HIS WIFE, JENNA. This happens to almost every newlywed in every band.. And Zac is leaving to (again) show his loyalty and support to his big bro. But then, it does not quite matches the band's statement.. If it's because of Jenna, why won't they just tell the world so that the world would understand?? So here's my #1 reason, which will be quite long (just scroll down if you don't really care about Paramore, but if you wanna kill some time you can go ahead and read it)..

#1 - JOSH WANTS TO AVOID HAYLEY. Most of you know that they used to be a we-love-each-other-till-death-do-us-part couple.. But they decided to keep it as a secret for about 3 years.. Then Josh wanted to go public, but Hayley didn't.. Soon after that, they broke up.. Clashed.. Parted ways.. Call it whatever you want, but they are no more.. Then Hayley herself told the world about them, which is quite discomforting for Josh as they had promised not to tell the world about them.. She also said that they parted ways because they didn't want the band to be circling around them (or something like that).. She was also quoted saying "Josh and I are better friends than we would have been just dating".. I'm sorry Hayley, but I think that is a LIE. Especially after you got over it so quick by dating Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory soon after that.. And you decided to go public with Chad, but not when you're with Josh.. (on this point my musical blog is turning into a frictional blog, haha) Josh and Chad got into a fight since Chad started dating Hayley and Chad was obviously changing Hayley and the way she was.. It was obvious that Josh has had feelings for Hayley, and then Chad rubbed it in by dedicating a song to Josh because he was dating Hayley.. Clearly, Josh hates the way Hayley has changed because of Chad.. Hayley has turned from a vibrant red haired, lovely girl next door to an attention whore.. There are also discussions of renaming the band to Paramore Featuring Hayley Williams or Hayley Williams and Paramore, which are usually done when they are planning to spin the person (in this case, Hayley) off the band (Paramore).. Surely Paramore is no longer circling around Hayley and Josh, but only around Hayley. Sure, Josh tried to get over Hayley by getting into a relationship and marrying Jenna Rice, but I truly understand how he feels about the new Hayley.. DESPISE. Hell yeah.. Look at his recent performances of the song My Heart (which is about Josh and Hayley, of course).. He can't play the song as good as he did few years back.. Messed up chords, less energetic, blah blah blah.. How can you give your best when you perform a song about you and a person, when the feelings between you and that person is no longer there?? Love has turned into despise.. And Hayley knows that.. Numerous songs in Brand New Eyes are about the friction between Hayley and Josh. In the song Ignorance: "You treat me just like another stranger" is definitely about the way Josh is treating Hayley.. In Looking Up: I can't believe we almost hung it up, we're just getting started" quite possibly was written after Josh let her know that he doesn't really want to continue with the band.. Remember in the band's statement, they said that "none of us are really shocked".. Yeah, they saw it coming over the past year already.. Well, it's about time.. You can clearly see in their backstage videos that Hayley and Josh are no longer as close as they used to be.. In fact, if I didn't know them, I would've thought that Hayley's only friends in Paramore were Jeremy and Taylor. Fans on numerous Paramore message boards were constantly asking why Josh looked so miserable.. And guess what?? I think I just typed the answer above.. And what about Zac?? Well, he is leaving to show his loyalty and support to his big bro. Yeah, there is no definite reason (at least I can't find one) as to why Zac leaves.. Anyway, CHAD GILBERT KILLED PARAMORE. Well, just my opinion.


Well, good luck Paramore.. Looking forward to listening how your upcoming music sounds like, as 40% of the band is no longer there. Truth be told, I hate myself for despising Hayley right now.. Don't get me wrong.. Hayley Williams is my celebrity crush since I first heard of Misery Business. It kinda sucks that things like this happened.. We want the old Paramore back, not Hayley Williams featuring Paramore.. Blah blah blah.. The end..

Artist Of The Week - Antoine Dodson

Kevin Antoine Dodson was interviewed after an alleged attempted rape of his sister by and intruder in her bedroom in the projects of Lincoln Park.. The interview inspired the Gregory brothers, which has been Autotuning news for a living (for a Youtube channel, actually) to make a musical remix.. And the Bed Intruder Song was born.. The song has sold over 100000 of copies on I Tunes and reached #89 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. He was once quoted saying "Am I bi?? No.. Gay?? Yes".. Holy shoot. Anyway, he has made enough money from the song to move his family from the projects to a better house.. So you can run and tell that, homeboy.

Song Of The Week - Madina Lake's Pandora

I don't wanna talk about the lyrics.. Go find and decode it yourself.. I kinda dislike the lyrics, but the song is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! The video's cool too.. Check it out.. Worth the 3-and-a-half minutes of your life.. Shoutout to the bassist of Madina Lake, Matthew Leone who is currently recovering after being assaulted when he was trying to help a woman who was being beaten by her husband.. He suffered a broken jaw, a broken nose and a fractured skull, not to mention a swollen brain from the attack.. You are a hero.. Period.

Album Of The Week - My Chemical Romance's Danger Days (True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys

Four words: Killjoys, make some noise! This album is epic.. Listen to Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na), Sing, Only Hope For Me Is You and S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, and you'll definitely be hooked..
