RIP Nick Menza

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

The former drummer with the US thrash metal band Megadeth, Nick Menza, is reported to have died after collapsing on stage at a gig in California. Menza, who was 51, is said to have suffered a heart attack during one of his regular sessions with his band OHM at a small Los Angeles jazz club, the Baked Potato. Mike Simpson, a fan who said he was at the gig, reported that Menza collapsed before the third song in the band’s set. “ I was watching his band OHM at the Baked Potato tonight and he collapsed on stage. Paramedics were saying it looked like a heart attack,” he wrote. Menza, son of a jazz musician, played with Megadeth on several of its most successful albums in the early 1990s, including Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia. He left the band when he had to have knee surgery during a tour for the 1997 album Cryptic Writings. He had been playing regular sessions at the Baked Potato club with the band OHM, founded in 2002 by another Megadeth veteran, guitarist Chris Poland.

The professional drummer best known for his work in Megadeth from 1989 to 1998 and in 2004.[2] He recorded drums on four of Megadeth’s albums: Rust in Peace (1990), Countdown to Extinction (1992), Youthanasia (1994) and Cryptic Writings (1997). Beginning his professional musical career at the age of 18 drumming in the band Rhoads featuring singer Kelle Rhoads, brother of the late Randy Rhoads, Nick released his first record with Rhoads called Into the Future in Europe. Moving on to session playing including styles ranging from R&B to gospel, funk and heavy metal, recording with the likes of John Fogerty, Nick caught the attention of then Megadeth drummer Chuck Behler and became his tech. When Megadeth needed a drummer in 1989, Nick Menza was asked by Dave Mustaine to join the band. Mustaine noted that Menza previously filled in on drums when Behler was unable to. Menza first played live with Megadeth on May 12, 1988 in Bradford, England. This prior experience and personal relationship led to the invitation to join Megadeth for the 1990 recording Rust in Peace.

During his stint in Megadeth, Nick also played drums on his bandmate Marty Friedman’s three solo albums Scenes (1992), Introduction (1994), and True Obsessions (1996). By the summer of 1998, while the band was still touring in support of Cryptic Writings, Menza was having knee problems and sought medical advice. He was informed he had a tumor, which was later found to be benign, and had it removed. As a result, Megadeth hired a temporary replacement by Jimmy DeGrasso rather than cancel any dates. When the time came to record a follow-up album, Menza was not asked back and DeGrasso became the band’s official drummer. Menza has said in several interviews that, while in the hospital recovering from knee surgery, he received a phone call from Mustaine that simply said “Your services are not needed anymore”. After his departure, he began work on Menza: Life After Deth with guitarist Anthony Gallo,[5] bassist Jason Levin and guitarist Ty Longley. Following the reissue of the entire Megadeth catalog, Menza was invited to reunite with Megadeth in 2004. Days after a reunion was announced Menza was fired after rehearsals and replaced with Shawn Drover. Dave Mustaine said that this was because Nick “just wasn’t prepared” for a full scale US tour, physically.

In April 2006, Menza joined the Los Angeles-based metal band Orphaned to Hatred.[9] The group describe their sound as “a continuation of the heavy style of ’90s Pantera”. He left the band in late 2010. n March 2011, Menza appeared in a music video for Mindstreem’s “We Up Next” a song originally written by current SIN 34 guitarist Anthony Gallo featuring Tony Lanza and Daniel Wayne Jr. on Vocals. The actual recording is Menza (drums), Gallo (guitars), Gregg Babuccio (bass), and Tony Lanza and Daniel Wayne jr. (vocals).

Arsenal To Sign Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka to be announced as an Arsenal player within hours as he poses in kit. He leaves Borussia Monchengladbach for around £30m after four years at the Bundesliga club. Arsenal are yet to confirm the news but these pictures from inside the Gunners’ London Colney training complex appear to show Xhaka posing for photos ahead of his unveiling. The midfielder has a big reputation in Germany and at 23 is expected to have a bright future. The move has been a long time coming with Xhaka repeatedly insisting he wanted the deal done before this summer’s Euro 2016 in France. He flew to England yesterday after Arsene Wenger made a breakthrough in negotiations. The 23-year-old then would have undergone a medical before signing his contract and completing the formalities.

Xhaka, 23, flew to London on Friday to undergo a medical and agree personal terms with the Gunners, with both sides eager to get the deal done before Xhaka joins the Switzerland squad for the European Championship. Arsenal would not confirm the authenticity of the photos, which also showed the midfielder holding up an Arsenal shirt and standing outside the training facility. But a source told ESPN FC the deal was close to being finalised and that the club hoped to announce the signing as soon it was completed. Arsenal have been in talks with Gladbach for weeks after manager Arsene Wenger made powerful central midfielder Xhaka one of his top targets.

Gladbach sporting director Max Eberl confirmed earlier this week that the German club had received an offer for Xhaka, but declined to name the interested party and insisted no agreement had yet been reached. Xhaka has impressed for club and country in recent years, and revealed that he wanted to resolve his future before representing Switzerland at Euro 2016.

To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Sleep is one-third of our lives: write a post about it. Do you love naps? Have trouble falling alseep? Wish you could remember your dreams? Remember something especially vivid? Snuggle under a blanket, or throw the windows wide open? Meditate on sleep.

Ah, sleep. Sleep that must do thing on a daily basis which if we do not take we will regret. Sometimes I think sleep is a necessary evil; if we didn’t need to sleep for 6-8 hours we could do so much other stuff during that time. And then some days I can’t wait till my head hits the pillow and I crawl between the sheets and drift off into la la land.

I love the days when I am so tired and can get into bed relatively quickly to that feeling. I hate sleeping in buses or trains and perhaps even in an airplane seat because they aren’t comfortable. Unless I can get into one of those really expensive planes which is beyond me right now. I need a proper bed and I need some privacy, seeing that I sleep in the nude (I can still sleep in an undershirt or even a t-shirt but it’s difficult to sleep while still wearing underwear because you gotta free the balls, you know) and I can’t really relax unless I do that.

I am fascinated with dreams, I tend to write down some really awesome or weird or strange ones. I wake up and knowing that I will forget in a few minutes or so, I switch on my pc and start blogging about it. I can remember some really old ones too, like back when I was 8 or 9 years old because I wrote it down in a diary and talked about it a lot. I usually close the windows at night, as I do not want insects or in one or cases baby bats to fly inside my room. In the afternoons I would love to take a nap in a heavy rainfall. That is usually an awesome experience.

Done You Wrong

If your furniture, appliances, and other inanimate objects at home had feelings and emotions, to which item would you owe the biggest apology?

To my large bed (well it’s not not king sized but still big for one guy, even a guy of my size) I owe you an apology. I am sorry that it’s just me who sleeps on you every night and that I do not have a woman to share the comfort of your mattress with. It’s just lonely ole me who gets in between the sheets, night after night and has the same dreams of yearning and longing and tired of being alone.

So there’s no hugging or sweet talk or pillow talk. Sorry that there is no love making / sex / fucking / horizontal mile doing / boinking or whatever else you may want to call it. It’s only me and my right hand! No long talks in the night about the future or what lies in store during the week or even the next day. No falling asleep in each other’s arms and waking up with a kiss.

Sorry bed. I owe you that and more but I have been unable to do so in the last almost 10 years since I got you.

Grateful and Guilty

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Whether it’s a trashy TV show, extra-pulpy fiction, or nutrient-free candy, write a thank-you note to your guiltiest guilty pleasure

I do like some reality shows. I like stuff about cooking and cooking competitions and yes – I am guilty – any show that has hot women or hot women in bikinis and doing stuff that I can spend hours and hours watching them. Guilty as hell. I also do like shows on the internet like Buzzfeed and Facts and really it’s all about the humour and characters and yes the women is a big draw.

I also am guilty of liking some shows that run on more corny and cheesy than actual substance. This is usually because despite the chessiness and the corniness, they will usually have a good cast and good acting. Some of the actors are ones that I have seen and loved on various other shows, shows that have had more substance than these ones and hence I will give the show a watch and end up liking them a lot. So cheese and corn for their own sake – no, but if they have the good cast then yes!

Deserted Island Five

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

A classic question, revisited: what are the five items you must have on a deserted island?

    • A laptop with a battery that will never die and internet connection / wifi
    • Luxury cruise ships capsizing on a regular interval so that the food and drink and stuff will float towards me and I can get them for my needs
    • My entire collection of tv shows and movies and mp3s
    • a large bedroom with a king sized bed
    • nubile buxom beauties who also wash up on the shore and who are all willing and eager to bed me

What more could a guy on a deserted island ask for?

Lazy Learners

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn but haven’t gotten around to? What is it and what’s stopping you from mastering the skill?

A couple of things. One is a simple one which I should have taken up years ago. I have wanted to be able to speak in French for decades. I just love that language. I wish I had picked up a class or two in it. When I was 25 I remember going to a book store and finding a self learning book and CD with it on how to speak French and at that time the cost was too much for a guy who was struggling with finances. I kept thinking to myself “let’s get this money thing sorted out and I will come back and pick up that book and learn atleast at home if not going to a class”. I never did do that.

The other thing and the one I have really big regrets about is not having learned how to play guitar. Well, since I am almost 40 my chance of becoming an arena rocking heavy metal singer / guitarist have passed me by (note the hint, just a hint, of sarcasm) but I would love to be able to rock along with my favourite guitar riffs and solos from my my favourite musicians and bands. Air guitar is fab and all that but to be able to play the music out loud, making the guitar squeal like a hot woman who I am making love to and she is on the verge of a mammoth orgasm – ok, let me get a cold shower now, I will be right back!

Ok so yeah to be able to do both and take lessons is what I would have liked to do. Given a choice of only one, I’d pick the guitar. Just that I don’t think I will have much time on my hands. Same old, same old!

Enter Nowhere

Posted on by Roshan 3 Comments

Enter Nowhere (also known as The Haunting of Black Wood) is a 2011 psychological thriller film directed by Jack Heller and starring Scott Eastwood, Sara Paxton, Katherine Waterston and Shuan Sipos. It’s a 90 minute movie featuring 4 people who are all out of their time periods.

Three people from different decades find themselves suddenly lost with Jody and her dirt bag boyfriend Kevin robbing a convenience store. Jody holds a gun to the cashier demanding he open the safe. Cryptically, he tells her that he will do so but doesn’t believe she can handle what’s inside. Clearly not amused, she shoots and kills him. We then see another woman stumbling through the woods (a bit creepy with bare trees and nothing much else) and finding a cabin. Samantha and her husband Adam are on the way to his parents house to tell them they are expecting a new baby when they run out of gas on a deserted road on a cold night in the middle of the woods. He goes for help leaving her alone to fend for herself. After he doesn’t come back she goes looking for help and she gets lost in the woods. She meets an ax toting Tom who reached the cabin 3 days ago; he too had car trouble and found the cabin after wandering in the woods. Soon they find Jody fainted on the porch; she had a fight with Kevin and he abandoned her on the side of the road.

All three of them are suspicious of each other with Jody getting on the other two’s nerves. They soon become frantic over their inability to leave. They even venture into the woods to escape only to return to the cabin no matter which direction they take, they always end up back there. Tom leaves the cabin to try to find help. Samantha and Jody start to talk and quickly get into an argument of where they are. Samantha thinks she is right outside New Hampshire and Jody thinks she is fifteen miles outside Detroit. Tom returns to the shack to inform the ladies that they are both wrong, he claims they are in South Dakota. They realize that they are all wrong. Each one is plagued with nightmares. The next day they decide to try to walk out of the woods together. They walk and walk through the woods, and find a locked door to an old under ground bunker. They enter it and find old German maps and bottles of old German wine and cans of food and other supplies. Samantha reads the labels as she knows some German; shesays although her German father died before she was born, her mother insisted that she learn to speak his language. Jody and Samantha get to know each other better and realize that both of their fathers died in the war. They take some of the supplies and head back. Tom too says he is an orphan.

The next day the ladies bond and share their stories and then realize that both of them think it is a different decade. While Samantha says the year is 1962, Jody retorts that it’s 1985 (Samantha’s dad died in WW2 while Jody’s died in Vietnam) and when the two of them question Tom he says that they are both wrong and that it’s actually 2011! As the three try to figure out what’s going on they see a figure outside. They go outside to see what’s going on and are greeted by a soldier with a gun. The man, Hans (Shaun Sipos) is a German soldier (who they think is a Nazi but he is not a Nazi). Luckily, Samantha speaks German but is unable to convince Hans. Hans knocks Tom out and ties him up outside, then ties the women up inside. Hans attempts to find out what’s going on but things get hostile as he believes the three are holding back information. He isn’t impressed nor does he believe that the three are confused as to how they got there. Tom is able to get free of his bond and knocks out Hans. A locket that all three of them have makes them realize the situation – they are in some sort of freakish twilight zone and all of them are related.

Hans is Samantha’s father who dies in an allied bombing. She grows up without a father and while she was alone she got sick and with no one there to help her, she gave birth to Jody but died soon after due to complications. Jody ended up in foster care and in bad families and that led to a life of petty crime and murder. She got pregnant and was arrested and gave birth to Tom in prison and she was later given the death penalty. Tom too grew up in foster care and was raped by a priest under who’s care he was supposed to be. All their lives got messed up and they have one chance to fix things. They need to make sure that Hans gets to the bunker before the bombings can kill him. While trying to get Hans to agree Tom & the soldier struggle for the gun and Jody is shot fatally. Tom too is injured and the bombings start. Samantha is able to convince Hans and drags him to the safety of the bunker and, as the bombings continue, she, Jody’s and Tom’s bodies vanish and Hans is left alone. We then switch to the 80s where a now affluent Jody is at the same store and she buys her stuff and goes on home to her mom, an older Samantha who is spreading Hans ashes. Hans survived the bombing in this reality and came to the us, married Samantha’s mother and did well in his life.

As the movie ends another girl with Kevin goes to the same store and holds a gun to the cashier demanding he open the safe. This time too he tells her that he will do so but doesn’t believe she can handle what’s inside. This woman also shoots him as the movie ends. Clearly a different idea and a nice inception of a storyline that’s party scifi and part supernatural. No explanation as to how this came about but that adds to the whole mystery. It’s an odd little movie and clearly low budget but still is worth a watch. I give it a 7 outta 10!

Arsenal 4 Aston Villa 0

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Tottenham Hotspurs!!!

Arsenal finished second in the Premier League for the first time since 2005 as they beat relegated Aston Villa thanks to an Olivier Giroud hat-trick. Giroud headed Arsenal ahead early on but the hosts played nervously until he struck again, sweeping home from six yards after good work by Mesut Ozil. The Frenchman was then put through by Hector Bellerin for his third. Mark Bunn’s own goal, diverting in Mikel Arteta’s ricocheted shot, added further gloss to the scoreline. The comprehensive win ensured Arsenal leapfrogged faltering Tottenham – title contenders only a few weeks ago – after their north London rivals fell apart against Newcastle.

“It’s happened again,” sang Gunners fans at the end as they celebrated finishing above Spurs for the 21st consecutive season. Victory over relegated Villa, a team which has not won an away game in any competition since the opening day of the season at Bournemouth, ought to have been a given, and it was – but it wasn’t until the final 15 minutes that the home fans could truly relax. By finishing second the Gunners have qualified for the Champions League for a 19th consecutive season, but this has been a particularly testing campaign for Arsene Wenger, whose critics point to the club’s failure to mount a title challenge despite topping the table at the beginning of the year. The Frenchman has said the club will have to “add what we missed” this season, admitting his team did not score enough goals and, for the majority of this match, the absence of a killer instinct was a familiar criticism.

One player the Gunners have clearly missed for the majority of the season is Santi Cazorla, injured since November but returning to the starting line-up against Villa. The Spaniard conducted play beautifully and, at times, his touches were something to behold. As Villa’s resistance tired Arsenal took advantage, with Giroud capitalising to score his first Premier League hat-trick and take his tally to 24 in total this season. Mikel Arteta, who has made 150 appearances since joining from Everton in 2011, winning two FA Cups during his time with the Gunners, played his final match for the club as his contract expires this summer. The Spaniard, introduced as an 88th-minute substitute, thought he had scored for a perfect finale only for the 90th-minute strike to be deemed a Bunn own goal, and once the final whistle blew, the club captain could not contain his tears. Arteta had summed up Arsenal’s season in his captain’s notes, writing that the team’s ambition this season was to win the Premier League and failing to do so was “not good enough for this club”.

It was also the final Arsenal game for Tomas Rosicky, who is also out of contract. He received a special award before the match for his decade at the club. There was no place in the matchday squad for Theo Walcott who had, said the club, a slight hamstring injury and the forward’s absence will bring his participation in this summer’s European Championships into doubt. But Roy Hodgson, watching from the stands, will have been pleased to see midfielder Jack Wilshere make his first Arsenal start since the final game of last season and play for 69 minutes before being substituted. Arsenal finished in the top two of the Premier League for the first time since the 2004/05 campaign. Olivier Giroud’s first Premier League hat-trick was the 37th scored in the competition by an Arsenal player, which is more than any other team. Giroud has scored 16 Premier League goals this season, his joint-best return in the competition (also 16 in 2013/14). Mesut Ozil created 146 chances this season, the most of any player in a single Premier League campaign since 2003/04. Ozil’s final tally of 19 assists is bettered only by Thierry Henry’s 20 in 2002/03.

Arsenal To Bid Farewell To Midfield Trio

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

On the final day of the English Premier League, the Gunners take on Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in the final round of the 2015-16 Premier League season. It’s been another difficult campaign for the Gunners, whom many felt should have won the title this year. But that didn’t happen, and heading into the final round of the campaign the only real issue for the Arsenal faithful was to hope that Newcastle can beat Tottenham at St James’ Park so that Arsenal can finish second. The match against Aston Villa will be memorable as it will be the final occasion that Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky and Mathieu Flamini will turn out in the club’s colours.

All three midfielders are out of contract at the end of the season, and they will also move on from the club. While those players move on, reports are growing that Leicester midfielder N’Golo Kante is joining Arsenal this summer. Also it looked like Granit Xhaka said goodbye to Gladbach before his move to Arsenal on Saturday. Arsenal fans have been taking to social media in the build up to the Villa game to post their goodbye messages for Arteta, Rosicky and Flamini. Manager Arsene Wenger has been fulsome in his praise of the departing trio. “Mikel Arteta is the captain of the club and has been a great leader,” said Arsene Wenger in his pre-match press conference. “Tomas Rosicky has been with us for 10 years and I think everybody loves him as well. Mathieu Flamini has been an extremely strong leader on the pitch and off the pitch. We lose three big personalities.”

The inclusion of Flamini in that list may raise eyebrows. He’s been a divisive figure at times; a symbol of Wenger’s tendency to persist with cheap options rather than bring in top-class alternatives. However, he’s still been a loyal servant across two spells with the club that total seven seasons. His quality has occasionally been questionable, but his commitment on the field has not. Arteta and Rosicky are almost universally admired. The Spaniard arrived in 2011 at a difficult point in the club’s recent history, following an 8-2 mauling at Manchester United and the double departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. Arteta’s steady midfield presence and natural authority helped steady the ship.

Rosicky will be remembered with plenty of affection, not least for his knack of scoring against Tottenham. However, he’ll be also be reflected upon as a player who never quite fulfilled his potential in north London. Bought in 2006 as a replacement for Robert Pires, a succession of injuries has prevented him from blossoming into a pivotal figure. All three men will be hoping to get some time on the field in order to say a proper goodbye to the Emirates Stadium. That said, Sunday is no testimonial affair but a competitive fixture with three points at stake and potential repercussions for Arsenal’s Premier League position. The Gunners need a point to guarantee third place and automatic qualification for the Champions League. Against already-relegated Aston Villa that should be more than achievable. However, there is a more intriguing possibility on the table. If Arsenal win and Tottenham lose at Newcastle, the Gunners would leapfrog their local rivals and snatch second.

A Grand Slam

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

In your own life, what would be the equivalent of a walk-off home run? (For the baseball-averse, that’s a last-minute, back-against-the-wall play that guarantees a dramatic victory.)

Ok, stop with the boring ass baseball term. Let’s use a Grand Slam in tennis as in winning all four big 4 Grand Slam tournaments in a single calendar year. So my personal version of a Grand Slam would be

  • Get a lot of money coming my way either through a posh new job or willing a lottery or something. Rich eccentric billionaire who is about to die leaves me his / her entire fortune. But I have lots of money and more for a few generations and I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
  • Move to the perfect location in a lovely lakeside estate and with a gorgeous new large mansion. Pools, indoor movie theatre, luxuries galore.
  • Meet the perfect woman for me – hot, sexy, busty, great personality, simple and loving and loyal. Marry her and settle down for a married life of happiness and bliss.
  • Die a happy man with no regrets and after a long and healthy life to old age.

Fast Forward

If you could fast forward to a specific date in the future, when would it be?

I don’t know the exact date but I think I would like to go and fast forward myself to the day that I die. I would like to see how it all ends up and when I close my eyes for the final time and take my last breath. I would like to see how I go out; natural causes or accident or murder. I would like to know if I grow to be an old man or go out in a few years. I would like to see what happens.

Who is with me when I finally kick the bucket? Is there someone or some people or will I go out all alone or in a hospital? How will the mood and setting be? Will there be tears and words about me? What will the funeral be like? Who will say something nice about me? Will there be a turnout? Anyone who really mourns me?

All questions I would like to be answered.

Back Home & Unpacked

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

The last couple of days have been really frustrating. So the elevator has been fixed and running from Monday and we were told by the guy in charge that we could move back in anytime we wanted. Since we got to know it a little late in the day we decided to wait till Tuesday. But on Tuesday we wanted the apartment to be cleaned as well so the maid came here and cleaned the whole place. Tuesday my dad was feeling tired so we thought we’ll move on Wednesday. As I had to go to the office in the evening, I packed up everything and my mom, dad and sister would move the stuff back home.

Last night my sister sent me a message saying that since they were out late they decided to move on Thursday, which is today. I reached home last night, or early this morning as it was 4:30 am, to find that the elevator wasn’t working. Apparently they were working on placing slabs around the frame and hence some of the tiny rubble got inside and that’s why the elevator got stuck. I walked up the 7 floors and called my folks to tell them to not come unless the elevator was working. By 10:30 am I woke up and saw that the elevator was working. But a couple of workers came by and stopped the elevator as they would be continuing the work for another two days. So the elevator would be switched off during the day. Then why the fuck were we told that we could move back?

I came to my sister’s place and spoke to my mom and dad and checked as to when they could move. I spoke to the guy in charge and he was an asshole and didn’t even want to help. But I got my belongings and came back home, waited in the heat for the guys to finish their lunch, made the guys switch the elevator back on for me, and got in to my apartment. I can’t stand living away like this for so long. What a shitty situation!

Fill My Shopping Cart

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

I like supermarkets and the hypermart / Big Bazaar stores that we have here in the city. Both are located in prime busy shopping malls though Hypermart in Lulu is much bigger and has way more variety of items than Big Bazaar has to offer. That’s also because Lulu Mall is much larger than Center Square mall which houses Big Bazaar.

I find it relaxing to have so many things you need in one big place. I like taking a shopping cart or trolley and walking around, looking at the aisles and checking out things I haven’t bought before or which aren’t available in the smaller stores that I usually go to to buy things. I like checking the prices and finding bargains or discounts or 3 or 5 of the same items which if you buy them together you get a really good deal. I even like the occasional talking with a stranger or helping an older couple with something. Finding good things to eat or stuff that you can easily cook up. That’s all part of the community of shopping in a large supermarket.

What I don’t like is the families who bring a bunch of kids, screaming babies and small kids who want to run around and dash into you. I also hate the lurkers and the idiots who aren’t there really for shopping and will buy a cold drink or two and waste your time and the cashiers’ as well. Women who bring three kids in place them in the shopping carts and only buy 3 to 4 items that they can easily get at a corner grocery store! These people ruin the whole experience for the rest of us.
