Mindless Ramblings

Here I am sitting around watching TV on a Saturday night (yes I know it's an exciting life I lead). I am watching some reruns of the show Wipeout, which makes me laugh my ass off. I don't even care that the course is impossible...it just cracks me up watching people bust their ass. So as I am watching and in a great mood the ASPCA commercials come on and man they are so freaking sad. Now I am against animals being put down and abused just as much as the next guy, but does it have to come on right in the middle of my hilarious TV watching? Talk about a downer. I hate that commercial. No matter what it just makes you feel terrible.

On the upside only about six weeks to go for school. It's crazy how fast this time has gone. I am just doing some freelance gigs right now as school winds down.

I love going to class two times a week for less than 8 hours each day.

My training sessions continue and I continue to get my ass kicked. I have even started walking / jogging in the evening. I don't know what has gotten in to me, but I like it.

Now with all my downtime I manage to do a lot of web surfing and watching youtube.com way to much. The other day I decided to just browse old 80's hairband videos and it was awesome. It's amazing that MTV used to play those videos. I stumbled on this one and I remember this chick Lorraine Lewis...man she is/was so freaking hot. Just watch this video



That was her then...This is her now...



Still looks damn good. I have to put her ahead of Lita Ford in the hot category.

So I guess my top hot chicks in Rock would go like this:

1. Lorraine Lewis
2. Lita Ford
3. Sass Jordan
4. Joan Jett
5. Every other chick

I couldn't put up the video of my favorite Sass Jordan song Pissin Down so I went with this one...You Don't Have to Remind Me



I've read Sass has a new CD coming out around August...which would be awesome. That's pretty much the latest.

The Pain is Here

So as I mentioned in the previous post that we are finally in the downhill swing with school so I have some free time on my hands...So I lined up a vacation in August after I have graduated to go to St.Lucia. Which then made decide it's time to get my ass in shape...you know the typical I need to look good for the beach. As luck would have it I did a website for a fitness trainer and man is she kicking my ass. Just started last week and man I have been in some pain. I keep telling myself pain is good in this case. Legs hurt, yep, abs really hurt, yep, shoulders hurt, you betcha...It's crazy but she keeps telling me it will payoff. We shall see. It's not her that has me worried it's my own eating habits, but so far so good. I have began eating the "what's good for you" stuff. We will see if I can stick to it. I'm feeling good about right now.

I have been hearing a lot of hype on this Chickenfoot CD and I must say it's good...but only OK good. It's nothing spectacular. To me it sounds Van Halen-ish with Sammy on vocals. I will admit I like hearing Satriani with a band instead of his solo stuff. You can check it out though I think it's worth it especially when you consider what's out there for music now days.

I am currently listening to the new Robin Trower CD called "What Lies Beneath". I must say you can't be disappointed by Robin Trower. Of course to me nothing will compare to "Bridge of Sighs", but this new one is pretty good.

OK..off to make a strawberry protein drink. At least I sound official right?

The Downhill Swing

Well it's down to the final two months of school. Our class now is to just work on our portfolio. The good thing about going two days a week this month is we have five days off in between.

I have decided at this point that web design is what I am going to focus on, but will continue to work with video and the other media that I have learned at school. I have also decided to continue on and get my Masters Degree in Entertainment Business. I am not sure what I am getting myself into, but it should be interesting. Hopefully over the next couple months there will be a new bryanshaw.com and also a new mfnrocks.com

I have also spent a lot of time on youtube these days. There is so much stuff out there it's ridiculous. I still always end up watching music videos since there really is no outlet for that anymore.

I just found this video...one of my favorite Motorhead tunes from the CD "Inferno"
