Stanley Cup Edition

Ok, back to reality Nathan
On a brighter note, I did infact predict the NHL Stanley Cup Finals :), click HERE if you don't believe me and no I didn't edit it to make me look good before this post ;)

Now to predict the winner.

Out of respect for my bud Bill Guerin(who in fact I met before, but thats another story, I might be able to show you the autographed he signed and the picture we took together) I predict he and the Pittsburgh Penguins to beat the injury plagued Detroit Red Wings in 7 games in Motown

Hey there everybody, it's been a while, i haven't posted anything since Wednesday!. I'm almost done of school, exams end on the 15th. Then i start my quest to seek my first employment opportunity (won't say where unless im hired due to the fact that somebody might take the job before me). But i can't focus on that yet. I still have an English test TOMMOROW! *yikes* and a Science test before exams >.<. I can't wait for summer :P

In other news, I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and found out that they had the Slim Shady LP, The Eminem Show, Curtain Call, Encore, and a gazillion copies of Relapse. I suprisingly don't own any of these magnificant albums (Or the Marshall Mathers LP)but I did hide them in an undisclosed spot if i did choose to buy one or to make it harder for other people. I'm going to wait and see if i can find the Limited Editions instead. Speaking of Eminem, which happens to be one of the only things I blog about >.<. I finished reading his autobiography which is pretty off the hook, which isn't a biased claim believe it or not. "The Way I Am".
(
Mr. Mathers will also be performing at the MTV Movie Awards tonight(Which i will catch on youtube tommorow or something)

I have been keeping up with my jogging. This is my first official week. 4 times for 30+ minutes on the days where I don't lift.

There has been a pretty stressful subject bringing negative vibes into my psyche that will be one of the things I wont blog about, but you can contact me if you care about my well being that much.

As every week, i want to plug this little wonderful thing ----> HERE <-----

Whats new with me:
Today as i woke up this morning, to tired to get up from bed to get to school. I asked mom if i could stay home (bad advice to my readers) then she started to lecture about University and grades so i said to myself "Forget it, let me go to school". As i got out of bed, the bus came and past. But i eventually made it to school, but i missed English >.<. But i was able to pass my "Careers in Multimedia" assignment and took my chemistry test, which im optomisticly thinking I done well in :).

As i got home, checked my blogs that im following (which you can check out here). After eating and whatnot, I decided to do my workout, or what i like to call "My attempt to add some muscle and strength to my weak pale 170 pound body :)". It went well. So as I try to remember what homework i have to do (hopefully i won't remember any :P) and think of something to eat on my protein enriched diet.

I find myself listening to the audiobook "100 Ways To Motivate Yourself" If you can find this, I recommend listening to it, its less than an hour long. One tip that stuck out to me "Every human has the capacity for genious, To reach Einsteins creative level of thinking, all you have to do is get use your imagination, sometimes this is difficult idea for grown ups to follow. As they use their imagination for one thing "Worrying" and all their ideas of visualizeation are used to picture worst case cenarios. The human imagination are used for better things. People who imagine to create things, do better in life than people who worry, even if they have a higher IQ.". The entire audiobook is awesome, a 5/5.

But don't worry, I do not have any Motvational problems, how else would i get this blog done!

Peace out! and stay motivated.

PS: I'll see if i can find a link to the 100 ways to motivate yourself audiobook!

Oh!, I couldn't leave you guys without a video!



PPS:

I have a hunch that if your a wrestling fan or a newb, you probobly won't find an eppisode of Raw as exciting in recent memory than this one

Hello, allow me to introduce my weekend

(The exaggerated version)This has been a pretty strange week for me, On Thursday on an innocent field trip to an undisclosed location, I was interviewed by CBC on radio. Of course they recognized me for my celebrity status and the fact that i started a pretty cool blog. Of course again, sometimes its hard to try to come up with something original when people are always comming up to you and in this case being interviewed when the subject is not particularly intersting so you try not to sound like a fool on public radio. Its a long day when you mistake two friends yelling at you from a bus for some star crazed fans. I recently started jogging (for 20 minutes), without having any cardiovascular training in the past 3-4 months, I had not realized how out of shape I was, but no doubt im going to keep with it always striving to improve on the days where i don't lift.

Speaking of weight lifting, i had just completed my 8th week of lifting weights, after wasting the previous 7 months not knowing exactly what i was doing. But now i think i have it figured out. Its a begginner routine but it has been getting progressivly better for me, for any reason if anybody is interested. heres a link.(I'll see if i can find mind journal so i can post my stats, not impressive, but improving).

I recently deleted all of my favorite songs from my playlist because i pretty much got bored of them and want to keep them fresh, so i took all the songs i skipped over or new songs or songs from the albums of artists i didn't listen too, and made a playlist out of those to try to get some new favorite songs so i can hopefully make a superplaylist later on

Favorite Songs I'm Currently Listening Too:
Songs from the Albums:
Self Explanatory by Classified
2Pacs Greatest Hits
Taylor Swift - Fearless
Amazing - Kayne west feat Young Jeezy
Sex on Fire - Kings Of Leon
Move - Thousand Foot Krutch
Who?, Not Me - Ludacris Feat Small World and Dolla Boy

Video game i'm happening to spend time playing
MLB The Show 08 PSP

I think Encore needs to be re-reviewed for the last time

Maybe this shit will be Illmatic?

Encore: Was it really so bad?, another look at what was
Arguably the worst album Em has put out. But even for Em, thats saying alot. But it did come second for Best Rap Album of the year, Falling to Kayne West's "Graduation". So the question needs to be ask, even if it was Eminem's worse, it might have been better than anything else everybody came out with (Except Kayne).

Negative reviews were given to the album, noteably for having less controversly and being more toned down then Eminems previous albums. Fans saying, maybe he should finally call it quits.

Well lets go back and review the album almost 5 years later

1. "Curtains Up" (skit)
2. "Evil Deeds"
3. "Never Enough" (feat. Nate Dogg, 50 Cent)
4. "Yellow Brick Road"
5. "Like Toy Soldiers"
6. "Mosh"
7. "Puke"
8. "My 1st Single"
9. "Paul" (skit)
10. "Rain Man"
11. "Big Weenie"
12. "Em Calls Paul" (skit)
13. "Just Lose It"
14. "Ass Like That"
15. "Spend Some Time"
16. "Mockingbird"
17. "Crazy in Love"
18. "One Shot 2 Shot" (feat. D12)
19. "Final Thought" (skit)
20. "Encore/Curtains Down" (feat. Dr. Dre & 50 Cent)

Shady Collector's Edition — Bonus disc

1. "We as Americans"
2. "Love You More"
3. "Ricky Ticky Toc"

Thoughts: Alright, lets be honest, take Rain Man and Big Weenie, My 1st Single and Crazy in love off the album (because i think the album gets overhated because of these songs) and replace them with the Shady Collectors Edition, suddenly, the view of this album gets a bit better, maybe not as good as his previous albums, but not an embarrasment to put out and probobly would have beaten Graduation as album of the year.

Top Songs:

Never Enough (wish it was longer)
Yellow Brick Road
Like Toy Soldiers
Mosh
Mockingbird
One Shot Two Shot
Encore
Love Me More
Ricky Ticky Tock

Verdict: Instead of the 3 out of 5 stars (60%) that all that all the reviewers at Amazon have given it (because reviews from actual listeners and fans might be more reliable then some magazine or company) i would give it 3 out of 4 stars or a (75%). Not quite Illmatic but not the Encore that the general public give it credit for

Preview Of Whats To Come

In trying to work on some posts before i post them >.<, here might be a few important things that might make the cut



Possibile Topics:

Eminem: Top Of The World (all time lists, top 10 lists, tribute to the man)

Money: Investing and/or Saving (from Teens to oldies)

Power of the Subconcious mind (theory and a e-book to read)

Eminem fans get their long needed rehab from the addiction of medicore rap we are use to hearing

The return of Slim Shady today with his new record "Relapse" .

Here is our Review of Relapse without giving too much away

1. "Dr. West" (skit)
2. "3am" Eminem's new accent is listenable in this serial killer ballad. 8.2/10
3. "My Mom" Talks about his mom...again, isn't all the same stuff we heard before 7.8/10
4. "Insane" Most of people will listen to the first 30 seconds of this and skip it, but it's actually decent, Marshall shows off his rhyming ability in a variety of ways. 7.5/10
5. "Bagpipes from Baghdad" "How can i describe the way that i feel" "F!!!ing great man!" 7.5/10
6. "Hello" Not one of my favorites, but better than we made you 7/10
7. "Tonya" (skit)
8. "Same Song & Dance" Type of killer song as 3am 8/10
9. "We Made You" First single, with less than first single esque stuff that we are use too, catchy 6.8/10
10. "Medicine Ball" Same category as Hello 6.8/10
11. "Paul" (skit)
12. "Stay Wide Awake" Sick chorus 7.8/10
13. "Old Time's Sake" Featuring the Doctor! 7.2/10
14. "Must Be the Ganja" Not one of my favorites either 6.7/10
15. "Mr. Mathers" (skit)
16. "Déjà Vu" Pretty dope song with some insight on what has happened to Marshall on his time away 9/10
17. "Beautiful" Another dope song, up their with Lose Yourself and Stan. 9.5/10
18. "Crack a Bottle" Hey, it did break the itunes download record 7/10
19. "Steve Berman" (skit)
20. "Underground" Dope, Marshall Mathers LP type of song. 9/10

Bonus:
My Darling: Should've replaced one of the songs on the album, Eminem and the Devil haha 9/10
Careful what you wish for: Brought back some Nostalgic moments of Eminem, Proof, and Obie Trice in the news. again, is better than some songs on the album, but a little short 8/10

Must listen too
Beautiful
Underground
Deja Vu
3am
My Darlin

Conclusion:

Eminem has beat alot of demons to come back and put back a pretty dope album, going through Rehab and the loss of Proof, i think everyone or atleast his fans, will be glad to see that Mr. Mathers is back and that Relapse 2 will be comming out later this year, and if Underground is any indication, it will be just as good if not better than relapse. Its nice too see some creativeness with the whole Relapse theme and not hearing about money, women and cars like we're use to hearing too. Fans of Eminem and hip hop should enjoy this, but bubblegum pop fans may only like a few songs as this is not Lil Wayne.

Overall: 4/5 Stars, definite pick up.
