Supernatural




My favorite television show for the last two years has been Supernatural.

Supernatural is a show about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, that are on a road trip to find their father. However, their father John Winchester is a demon hunter, and like John, the brothers are hunters as well. John became a hunter after a powerful demon, who is simply known as the man with yellow eyes, killed John's wife for reasons yet unknown. Since then, John has been missing for quite some time. The only lead that Sam and Dean have in order to find their father is a journal that he left behind, which is full of details of his various hunting encounters. The brothers have decided to continue their fathers work by hunting demons and other things that go bump in the night. Each week, the brothers encounter a different demon or creature that will hopefully have some sort of lead to their fathers whereabouts. Their ultimate goal is not only to find John, but to kill the demon known as yellow eyes, that not only killed their mother, but Sam's girlfriend Jessica, who he was about to marry, as well.

I think that the show is very entertaining and well written. Every week there is a new twist to the plot that keeps you interested in the storyline and makes you want to know what will happen next. The show is currently in its third season and the storyline has improved since the first season. As far as the main storyline goes, the brothers were able to find John, but he was killed by the yellow eyed demon. Dean manages to kill the demon with the yellow eyes, but the only problem is that yellow eyes was able to open the gates of hell prior to his death. Yellow eyes was able to unleash around two hundred demons before the brothers were able to close the gates. Sam and Dean have their work cut out for them, and what happens next is unknown, but very intriguing. I think that Supernatural is a top notch show and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Rock on!



Are you ready to rock?

Since the 1980's, I have been fortunate to have lived through hearing some of the best rock music from some of the best bands of all time. To put it simply, I love classic rock music. Some of my favorites include Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, KISS, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dio, Van Halen, The Doors, Green Day, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and many more great rock acts. Many of the current rock bands do not even come close to the same quality in music or lyrics that many of the classic rock bands had. What ever happened to the great guitar solo's? Why are there no more guitar heroes such as Slash and Eddie Van Halen? Why do all of the lead singers now seem more like wimps? All we have now are Emo bands that sing about slitting their wrists and about how much life sucks. What happened to rockin' and rollin' all night, and partying everyday? There are still a few good bands today such as Linkin Park or Nickelback, but even they can't compete with the best from the past.

If I had to pick my favorite rock band of all time, it would probably be a tie between Guns N' Roses and Metallica.

Both of these groups have put out some of the most memorable rock classics ever recorded. "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Enter Sandman" are two songs that are easily recognizable by many people around the world. I would personally love to see the original Guns N' Roses have reunion, but there is a better chance that gas will be one dollar tomorrow than seeing that band reunite. It's unfortunate because I would love to hear how they would have sounded today if they put an album out. Metallica, however, is putting out a new album in a few months, and it is highly. It is supposed to have an emphasis on middle eastern tunes and guitar riffs, so that could possibly generate a very interesting sound.

Here is hoping that the next wave of bands will have the same impact that some of the great rock bands of the past have had. Until then, I think I'll stick to the classics.

The results are in...




The new WWE Champion is Randy Orton.

This is more of an update regarding my last post, but it is an interesting one. Randy Orton did become the new WWE Champion at the No Mercy Pay Per View. Unfortunately, he did not beat John Cena for the title. John Cena was injured prior to the event. He somehow completely tore off his right pectoral muscle during a match on the WWE show "Monday Night RAW". This happened a week before the Pay Per View event. There was footage shown on the WWE website of his immediate surgery. John Cena is now out of action in a time frame of six months to a year. I can't help but feel bad for the man. After reading my previous post, I almost feel guilty about it.

OK, now I am over it. As for what happened with the scheduled title match, Randy Orton was simply handed the title, being that he was the number one contender for the belt. I thought that was fantastic, until the unexpected occurred and veteran wrestler Triple H made an appearance. Triple H challenged Randy Orton to a title match that moment, Orton accepted and lost the title. Since Triple H was already scheduled for another match, he had to fulfill his obligations and compete in that match as well. Later on that night, Randy Orton enacted his rematch clause. Triple H then had to defend his newly won title against Randy Orton in his third match of the night. Randy Orton defeated Triple H, and left him beaten and bloody on the canvas.

Randy Orton won the title twice that night, and is now the WWE Champion.

Lets go R.K.O!





Randy Orton is the "Legend Killer" of World Wrestling Entertainment.

This Sunday at the "WWE No Mercy" Pay Per View, Randy Orton has a chance to once again become the WWE champion. Professional wrestling needs a new champion because John Cena, the current WWE champion, is stinking up the joint. John Cena has held the title for over a year now and it is time for a change. The last match up between these two WWE Superstars was a joke. It was over too soon and it was a disqualification victory. A match with so much hype should not have ended that way. This Sunday, the real showdown is bound to occur, unless the WWE wants to take more heat from the critics and the fans.

Orton has had fantastic matches in his career and holds victories over some of the best wrestlers in the business. He has defeated Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Ric Flair, the Rock, Mick Foley, and many more. All of them have felt the sting of the R.K.O, which is Randy's finishing maneuver. It is only right that he gets his chance to shine once again and bring back the entertainment to World Wrestling Entertainment.

This Sunday, hopefully a good match will take place, and John Cena will feel the fury of the R.K.O!
