Finally got the new Metallica album today!!!

Leave a comment

So I went out to the mall to start my Christmas shopping (which I only got half done) and usually each time I do Christmas shopping every year, I always buy myself a gift. I just had to get a copy of Metallica’s new album, “Hardwired to Self Destruct”. I already know it’s a good album ’cause I heard the whole album online so I already know it’s really good. I ended up picking this album up at Target ’cause they had it on sale for like around $10.00.

As I was cashing out this album at Target, I was chatting with this old lady who looks around 60 and she was like, “Is that the new Metallica album?” and I said, “Yep.” Then she responded back saying she’s a Metallica fan too and said she likes the “Black Album”. An older lady who likes Metallica? She was trying to think of a song she likes off the Black album and then she said a “lyric” from a song but couldn’t remember the title… the lyric was “Now I lay me down to sleep”… and then I told her the song she was talking about was “Enter Sandman”. In my head, I was saying, “You’re no true Metallica fan if you can’t remember the title of their songs”. I wanted to say it but didn’t… I had to be nice when I’m out in public. She was probably no Metallica fan, I think she was being nice for the Holidays.

Anyway, I saw the movie, “Arrival” today which I will review tomorrow. Don’t feel like it tonight. Coming down with a cold and not feeling well!

“Show Me How To Live” by Audioslave… thinking about giving this song a try soon…

Leave a comment

Some of; you may know that I’m a huge fuckin’ Chris Cornell fan. Like a lot of people, I think he’s a phenomenal singer. Over the years, I’ve tried to follow all of Chris’s projects whether through Soundgarden, his solo career and even Audioslave. There’s no doubt that this guy is one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

I’d like to try to sing this song ’cause it’s a favorite of mine. I could probably get the verses down pretty good but the chorus, not sure… the vocals in the chorus are pretty high. I could give it a shot, though. Maybe I could sing this one.

I’m not a big fan of Tom Morello’s politics but his guitar playing in this song is badass.

NeverTrump idiots don’t like it when you try to defend Trump, it pisses them off…

Leave a comment

In facebook, there are liberals, so-called libertarians and some so-called conservatives who do nothing but trash Trump publicly on their FB walls. I see it everyday. They usually post a bunch of misinformation about Trump. Anything that trashes Trump, chances are you’ll see NeverTrumpers re-sharing memes that trashes Trump from liberal FB groups such as “Occupy Democrats” or “Being Liberal”. They would also post news articles from liberal sources that makes Trump look bad. That’s all they do is post about Trump negatively. I thought about deleting all the Trump haters on my FB but I decided not to. I keep most of ’em on my friendslist ’cause it’s for research and to stay informed. When all NeverTrumpers want to do is talk trash about Trump in their FB pages, I’m not afraid to call out their bullshit. Instead of replying to their posts in the comments, I usually call out the NeverTrump idiots on my own facebook wall. Most people ignore my posts, sometimes I piss a few off and then they try to debate me. I usually don’t try to reply to other people’s anti-Trump posts but I do sometimes when I feel it’s necessary.

When you try to debate a NeverTrump idiot and try to defend Donald Trump, it really pisses them off. They don’t like it at all. That’s why they resort to name-calling most of the time and they cry like babies. That’s why they end up blocking you, delete you off of social networking. I try not to delete anti-Trump people from my friendslists but I do when they act like complete assholes and they think they can get away with their behavior of how they treat Trump supporters online. When they post stuff like Trump is a racist and woman hater, they don’t like it when you prove that he’s none of those things. They also want to paint Trump as if he’s some egomaniac who hates everyone, they don’t like it when you prove he’s not a bad guy… so on and so forth. They get pissed ’cause they can’t take the truth that Trump isn’t the man that the media and liberal FB groups say he is. Most anti-Trump people are just brainwashed losers. Just brainwashed people that believe everything they see in the news and social networking groups. You tell them that, they get all mad. Each time you accuse them of getting their info from the media and social networking groups, they start to make lies like, “I don’t get this stuff from the media, I get it from Trump himself”. Happens everytime. They say it just to make themselves look good and to make themselves look smart.

Look, I understand that you don’t like Trump. It’s cool… but when all you’re gonna do is talk negative things about Trump all the time, it’s going to bring out the supporters to debate you. That’s the way it goes, you see. I wish I could make those Sam Elliot memes and I could make him say, “You post all kinds of Trump hate posts in FB and you don’t want Trump supporters debating you? You that special kind of stupid?” If that’s all you’re gonna do is say negative things about Trump no matter the situation, you’re gonna get called out by Trump supporters. So suck it up and take it. Those Trump haters will always talk shit about him no matter if he does good things for the American people and the country, it’s pathetic. They post Trump hate posts, Trump supporters come out for his defense and then they cry about it. Funny how that is. I think it’s killing them that they know Donald Trump has a lot of supporters and they will never admit it. They’re still mad Trump won and they will never get over it.

Is this why media trying to get Trump banned off of twitter ’cause he uses it to talk to the American people? Yes, absolutely!

It’s really funny that when Trump wants to use twitter to speak his mind about something, the media goes crazy about it for hours. That’s all they talk about lately is Trump’s twitter. There’s even a lot of talk about liberals trying to get Trump banned off of twitter. Even the twitter CEO Jack Dorsey threatened to ban him if Trump breaks the TOS. The TOS? When was there a rule on twitter for speaking your mind? I don’t see that against the TOS rules. It’s just that twitter makes up rules as they go along. They’re getting so liberal biased, it’s crazy.

They ban conservatives and Trump supporters but they let liberals stay on for threatening to kill Trump. Threatening to assassinate Trump shouldn’t be on twitter but they let that stuff stay on. Twitter also allows Muslims to post pics of dead bodies, threats to kill Americans and they let Isis stay on. If people threatened to kill a democratic political figure on twitter, that would have gotten you a permanent ban on twitter and get the Secret Service knocking on your door but they don’t do anything about death threats against Trump at all. It’s really pathetic how one-sided people are these days.

Media and liberals hate Trump’s twitter ’cause Donald uses it to speak his mind and talk directly to the American people. That’s what they hate. I can’t blame Trump for using twitter to speak his mind about stuff ’cause all the media wants to do is make him look bad most of the time.

Will Trump continue to tweet to the American people during his presidency? We’ll see and he probably would. I hope he continues to tweet during his presidency. I love how he uses twitter to call out people’s bullshit.

The intolerance of liberalism is getting worse than ever before.

When I sing those songs on video with backing tracks, that’s my real voice, y’all…

Leave a comment

Like the title of this topic says when I perform songs with backing tracks on video, I’m not singing through a karaoke machine. Why I don’t use karaoke machines? I simply hate them. Singing karaoke is cheating in my opinion ’cause those things automatically makes your voice sound better. I like to sing for real like through a P.A. System which is what I’m singing through. I just crank my studio monitors up and crank up the P.A. System and away I sing.

I think those Sabbath songs that I did sounded pretty good. Those videos got a few likes too and got some views. Nobody said anything negative about them which is good to see. I’ll be doing more videos like that. I want to sing more of my favorite metal songs. I will do more Sabbath and more Ozzy. Will also try singing Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Soundgarden, etc. Will also try singing some classic rock songs that I loved over the years. I want to see if I can sing every genre.

I won’t be able to sing everything ’cause some songs might be challenging ’cause of the high notes and stuff. I try my best to nail the song down just by listening to vocal melody and to try copy what the singer is doing. I’ll do songs that I’m able to do and the songs that are in my range. I was able to sing Ozzy pretty good ’cause Ozzy’s voice is kind of similar to mine.

While I refuse to do those singing competitions you see on TV, I wouldn’t mind auditioning for a cover band, though. Singing lead for a cover band might be kind of fun and I might take that under consideration.

Just finished “Gotham – Season 1” last night on Netflix… such an awesome show!!!

Leave a comment

I’m a really huge Batman fan. Just love the characters and the stories. Even though I’m not much of a comic book reader, I just watch all the Batman movies… play the Batman video games and read a few graphic novels. I also love the original Batman TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward. I should read more Batman comics, though and I want to. It’s just that comics are hard to collect these days. I just read the graphic novels when I can. I love Batman ’cause I just love how he’s one of the very few superheroes with no superpowers.

I finished the new Batman TV show on FOX called, “Gotham” which focus’s on the earlier days of Batman… the history of it. It’s kind of like a prequel. It shows the build up of all the characters from the comics. It will show the life of Bruce Wayne before he became the Batman. The show also shows the buildup of all the villains like the Riddler, Penguin, the Joker, Poison Ivy, Harvey Dent/Two Face, Scarecrow, Catwoman, etc. All the Batman characters from the comics are a part of this show except for Fish Mooney (who is played by Jada Pinkett Smith) which is an exclusive character for the show. This show is about the lives of the villains before they became what they became so those characters are not in full costume yet. The Batman is not a part of this show yet ’cause Bruce Wayne is just a kid right now.

This show is pretty similar to “Smallville”, the show about the life of Superman but “Gotham” is about the life of Batman.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3749900/

Ya know, I hate Jada Pinkett Smith like most people. I can’t stand the Smith family but I’m not afraid to admit that Jada’s character as Fish Mooney is entertaining as hell to watch. Jada as Fish Mooney is really enjoyable to watch… I won’t deny it. Plus, Jada is pretty hot and sexy as that character. That’s some damn good acting, Jada, great job and I really mean that.

I also love the actors who plays Edward Nygma (who later becomes the Riddler) and Oswald Cobblepot (who later becomes the Penguin)… the actors who plays those two characters are really good actors as well. If Ben Affleck ever decides to have the Riddler or the Penguin for his solo Batman film he should get the actors from the “Gotham” TV show that played those two characters. Would be cool.

My only complaint about this show is that I’m not that crazy about the choice of the young Jim Gordon… I don’t think Ben McKenzie is that great of an actor but everyone else in this show are great though.

When will we ever see all the villains in their full costumes? I would predict in the final season whenever that will be, that will be the season when the Batman will finally appear. So when the young Bruce Wayne is all grown up, they will have to find an older actor to play the new Batman for the show.

“Gotham” is surprisingly a great show. I’m loving it so far. I finished Season 1 last night and will start season 2 next week. Season 3 is currently being played on FOX cable TV but I’ll wait for Season 3 to get on Netflix. So glad this show is on Netflix. If you’re a Batman fan too, it’s worth checking out.

Obama media mogul? It seems that he already is a media mogul…

Leave a comment

The reason for the title of this topic is that this article explains Obama’s plans after his presidency goes out and after his presidency goes out, this article explains that Obama has plans to be a part of the media in some form. Obama media mogul? I thought he already was? Obama is in charge of the media. Paying the media millions and millions of money to ram his egregious political views down our throats. Everything you see in the mainstream media is what you see in Obama’s mind.

What Barack just said here from this article, “How do we rethink our storytelling, the messaging and the use of technology and digital media, so that we can make a persuasive case across the country? And not just in San Francisco or Manhattan but everywhere.”… that’s all you need to know to see how Obama thinks he’s in control of the media. He wants to continue to ram his views down our throats even more.

http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/barack-obama-media-mogul/312984

I wouldn’t be surprised that Obama gets his own political talk show on TV or if he gets his own network.

I also laughed when he said that after he leaves office he plans to sleep more and go on vacation more. LMAO… that’s all he ever done throughout the 8 years of his presidency anyways. He pretty much did nothing. Go on vacations, go golfing, attend Democratic fundraisers, etc. Even after Obama’s gone from office on Jan 20th, the mainstream media will to continue to act like he’s god.

Can’t wait for this piece of shit to leave. Oh yeah and by the way, so because Obama’s leaving soon doesn’t mean we’ll leave him alone and move on from his crimes. We’ll never forget what he did to the American people for the past 8 years. He’s still gonna be investigated for his crimes, always. Hillary is not the only one that needs to be locked up. Barack needs to be locked up too. Now that he won’t be in office soon, maybe it’ll be much easier to lock him up too? When Trump takes over….
