Johnny Giosa, drummer of  BulletBoys best known as Johnny G, was killed in a car accident on Sunday in Los Angeles at the age of 42. The band confirmed through Facebook post  that it was indeed Giosa who died in a car accident.

An emotional text and unedited post read as follows: "I post this message with a heavy heavy heart.. Words can not express how devastated I am to hear about my friends'  passing, Mr. Johnny G. My sincerest condolences to his family and the ones he loved. We're all going to miss you brother! RIP... Skinnard!!"

Giosa was a bit  of a Renaissance man. He didn't just bash the skins with a dabbled creative fields in acting, modeling and hair styling. He enjoyed stints in bands both in Philly and LA but the Bulletboys were his most recent musical gig.

Reports said that Giosa was driving home from a club hung out with friends when the car accident took place.



ESPN reported that  Philadephia Eagles agreed to a new 6-year-$100-million dollar contract with Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick. The deal guarantees that All- Pro quarterback will get  $40 million. Vick is back after two years spending time in jail on a charged of dog disputes and  now on the top as one of the highest paid-players in the NFL. 

The deal may not be relevant to the Tennessee Titans and Chris Johnson because Vick is a quarterback and a quarterback get more money than the other players. What matters most is the guaranteed $40 million no matter what happens on the field. 

Michael Vick signed  in with the Eagles because he wanted to not because NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or anybody else talked to him about it. 

Vick clarified all the  arising insinuation more particularly in the cover story of GQ Magazine and said: "I did speak with many people, but the decision to sign in Philadelphia was based on my discussions with my agent, my family and with Coach (Andy) Reid. And after those discussions, it became clear to me that this was the place I wanted to play and resume my NFL career. The commissioner never told me to sign or not sign with particular teams. Again, I want to make it perfectly clear that this was a decision I made and, as I have said numerous times before, I'm very happy with the way it has worked out for me and my family."

Eagles coach Andy Reid in a statement said, "I'm very happy we were able to reach an agreement with Michael on this long-term contract. It's a product of all the hard work Michael has done to better himself over the last couple of years, both on and off the field.  I'm very proud that he has been able to achieve success again in this league, but he'll be the first one to tell you that there is a lot of work yet to be done by him and this team as a whole.  And there's no doubt in my mind that he will continue on the path."

The 31-year old Michael Vick quoted and said, "And I commend and thank them, because they put me in the  right situation. 

Well,  whether Vick were white, black or any other race, it's hard to imagine the Philadelphia Eagles offering the 31-year-old more money to play quarterback. That's just the way it is, and the contract  is a huge come back for Michael Vick.

Hello Guys! Did you know that StumbleUpon has reached its milestone? Two days ago, its famous Stumble button has been clicked more than 25 billion times.

SumbleUpon Community Manager Monica Semergiu said in a tweet, "Today we celebrate the 25,000,000,000 billion clicks of the Stumble button."

The social media company has been on a roll ever since it was spun out from eBay in 2009. In November 2010, the social site hit 12 million users and last month it reached 44 million stumbles in a single day which broke its mobile usage record during the year's Super Bowl. 

Since last April to date, StumbleUpon hit 1 billion stumbles per month. 

Though StumbleUpon doesn't receive same type of media attention such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or Google+gamer, it has quietly grown into a social media powerhouse with millions of loyal users. The result has been a solid business that StumbleUpon has to celebrate its 10th year anniversary this coming November.
