I improve yoga little by little with each session…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been on Yoga for the past 3 weeks now and had three Yoga sessions. I’m really loving it. Yoga is amazing. Each time I go, I improve little by little. Just a little at a time, ya know? I may suck at it for the first day but don’t worry. You’ll get better for each session you do. Each yoga session, you’ll get more flexible and get more strength. Each time I do a yoga session, it does kick my ass each time and when the session gets over with for the night, you feel like you’re out of breath. You’re all tired and beat.  You’re body will be very sore after too but that’s good. Yoga is gonna be very tough for me for a while but the more I keep at it, the easier it will get.

You know how they all say “practice makes perfect”? It’s the same with Yoga. I’ve been learning some stretches for flexibility and I’ve been practicing my balancing at home everyday too. I’m also getting a little better with balancing.

While I do have scoliosis and the harrington rod in my spine, some maybe a little worried that yoga is a little risky for someone with scoliosis. It’s not really. I did a little reading on it. I’ve read that Yoga is actually great for the back. There are a few poses that I won’t do ’cause they might be risky for the harrington rod like any back bending or headstands I probably won’t do but other than that, Yoga is pretty safe even for people with scoliosis. So far, I can do most poses just fine.

I got into Yoga for a flexible body ’cause I need it. I need flexible arms and flexible legs.  Once I get flexible arms and legs, I’ll be able to do leg splits soon which is what I want.

Should I become a ballet dancer or get into aerobics? Nah, lol. I’m just doing Yoga for fun ’cause I enjoy it. On a serious note, I do want to become a better dancer though ’cause I enjoy that too.

Trump supporters, a basket of deplorables? Um, no, the true deplorables are Bernie and Hillary supporters…

Leave a comment

When Hillary said that half of Trump supporters are a basket of deplorables and then she goes on to call us a bunch of names like “racist”, “homophobic”, “Islamaphobic”, “Xenophobic”, etc., I just threw my head back and laughed. Then I thought to myself, “Hillary has no right to call us deplorables when that’s exactly what Bernie & Hillary supporters are.”

Hillary has no right to call people “deplorable” which is funny… coming from someone who stole the election from Bernie Sanders which was proven. Coming from someone who teamed up with Bernie Sanders to invade Trump rallies. Hillary and Bernie supporters agreed to get paid by George Soros to invade Trump rallies by burning flags, beating up Trump supporters for no reason and just creating chaos in the streets.

I could explain even more why Bernie and Hillary supporters are the real deplorables. When they debate with people against the right-wing community, they can be the most intolerant people on the planet. They’re all for freedom of speech until they disagree with you on something. When they disagree with you on something, instead of putting on a civilized and mature debate, they resort to name calling like “racist”, “bigots” and “homophobes”.  They can be such bullies for sure.

Other reasons why Bernie & Hillary supporters are deplorable is ’cause they support gun control and abortion. They support the Iran nuke deal. Bernie & Hillary supporters are also the most anti-America people I’ve ever seen. They continue to be ’cause they defend Gabby Douglas and Colin Kaepernick for not supporting the National Anthem. Other big reasons why they are the real deplorables is that they continue to defend Islam and illegal immigrants.

Bernie and Hillary supporters are awful people. I can go on all day about this. I know I’ve upset some people when it comes to my thoughts on Bernie & Hillary supporters… people I used to know who were Bernie & Hillary supporters refuses to talk to me now ’cause of it but I don’t freakin’ care. I just tell the truth and that’s the end of it. I don’t speak politics to make friends. If people don’t like what I say in politics, that’s cool. If they do, that’s cool too. I just tell things like it is and don’t care if it upsets people.

Bernie and Hillary supporters are the most deplorable people on the planet. I’ll never respect them ’cause of what they did to the Trump rallies for the past year.

Why “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” is a great film, it’s not bad like everyone is saying…

Leave a comment

So I just re-watched “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” on BluRay last weekend and I still  see nothing wrong with the film. Yes, the film is still the most hated film in Hollywood right now. After I re-watched it, I can’t understand why. The film is not bad like everyone is saying. Actually, I think the film is pretty fucking great and I really mean that too.

Reasons the film is great for what it is ’cause it was pretty faithful to the comics for the most part. A lot of the movie was adapted from “The Death and Life of Superman”, ya know that famous story about Doomsday. They finally brought the “Death and Life of Superman” to the big screen. Also, “Batman v. Superman: DOJ” had many other comics adapted to that movie too like it had a lot of “Dark Knight: Returns” mixed in there as well ’cause the film was pretty much about an aging Batman. That’s where they got the idea of Batman and Superman not getting along too well at first ’cause they borrowed that idea from “The Dark Knight Returns” graphic novel/animated movie. So technically, the “Batman vs. Superman: DOJ” film is a mix of “Death and Life of Superman” and “The Dark Knight Returns”.

Plus, I think the visuals and the action scenes in “Batman v. Superman: DOJ” are out of this world. Sure all the action scenes don’t start ’til the second half of movie ’cause I’ll admit the movie started off kind of slow in the beginning but that’s good. It leaves room for more story. Everybody expected “Batman v. Superman: DOJ” to be this big action movie but when you actually see it, you’ll realize it’s something different.

I thought the Doomsday battle was incredible. That was probably the best part of the movie, in my opinion, that’s when Wonder Woman jumps in.

I think the only reason that the film got so much negative criticism is ’cause people don’t like Ben Affleck. Period. If they had a different actor to play Batman instead of Ben then maybe the film would have been received more positively. Isn’t that messed up? Anyway, I thought Ben made a great Batman. The way Ben’s mouth looked wearing the Batman suit, Wow. I thought Ben looked badass in the Batman suit. Ben will never be a better Batman than Michael Keaton and Christian Bale but I thought Ben did a great job.

With all this being said, I can’t wait for “Justice League” movie. The “Justice League” film would be even better than “B vs. S: DOJ”. Seriously, you should give “B vs. S: DOJ” another chance. It’s not a horrible movie like most people are saying. While I do have a great deal of respect for Mel Gibson, I’ll have to disagree with him of calling it a “piece of shit” ’cause it’s not.

Is Hillary Clinton already dead but secretly? Rumors running wild…

Leave a comment

When the news of Hillary having a body double got out there, you should be very suspicious of that. Because of the body double, that helped sparked rumors that Hillary maybe secretly dead. It’s possible that she passed away already behind the scenes and they’re hiding her so-called “death” from the public.

Is Hillary already dead? I doubt she is but ya never know, though. The reason for her body double is that her health is really bad right now and she can’t go anywhere.

Watch this video first before commenting, though. This video actually has interesting insight about all this. If it turns out to be true and ABC was right that she is dead, that wouldn’t surprise me. I could care less as well, good riddance if she is.

All this crazy stuff is probably leading to a Hillary replacement for Nov. 8th. I bet they’ll announce a Hillary drop out from the election soon. I’m predicting Hillary will drop out next week before the Sept. 26th debate.

I think Donald Trump should become the next president just fine, no matter what happens to Hillary…

Leave a comment

Whether you like it or not and no matter what the media or the Democrats try to pull, Donald Trump is gonna become the next president no matter what happens. Hillary might drop out or die on us due to her declining health but if that happens the Dems are gonna try to put the Nov. 8th election on hold. Also, there is still a lot of talking going on that Obama could cancel the Nov. 8th election day and Obama would remain president even after Jan. 20th of 2017. Even if Hillary drops out or passes away, the Trump haters will do all they can to try to stop him. Whether they cancel the election or try to find a Hillary replacement.

I warn you no matter what they do, Trump is gonna be the next president. Obama can’t cancel the election. I know he’s desperately trying to do that but the law and the Constitution won’t allow him to do that so that’s out of the question.

Donald Trump is way too powerful right now. They can’t stop him. For the past year Trump had his campaign going, the media, the Dems and the so-called conservatives who went after Trump did all they can to destroy Mr. Trump but they failed. They will fail to stop Trump on Nov. 8th. Even if they get Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden to step in for Hillary, that’s not gonna work either.

Trump is gonna be the next one, Never Trumpers. Deal with it!

Will Hillary even make the Sept. 26th debate to face Trump in person? Nah… I’m predicting she’s gonna drop out before then ’cause even if her health will allow her to debate him Sept. 26th, she’s gonna drop out due to her being afraid to debate Trump. I really don’t think she can handle debating Trump at all. Sorry. If she did show Sept. 26th, Trump will rip her to shreds… he’ll wipe that evil smile off her face easily.

Again, no matter what happens Trump is gonna be the next one. They’re gonna have no choice but to give themselves up and make him president. Trump is way too popular in America, sad that the Never Trump idiots will never admit that but they will in time. At least the Never Trumpers admit that Trump didn’t rig the primaries so that’s a good start.

I can’t wait for him to become the next president. Pretty soon. November is just around the corner.

Sorry Bruce Springsteen but why call it a “book-signing” if the books are gonna be pre-signed???

Leave a comment

So Bruce Springsteen confirmed a book signing tour to help promote his upcoming memoir, “Born To Run”. To attend these so-called book signings, you must order these wrist-bands online which are free but in order to get a wrist band you must also buy a pre-signed book of “Born To Run”. Yes, you heard that right. “Pre-signed” as in the books were already signed before the event, not at the event.

It gets even better though, the signing also has all kinds of strict rules like you won’t be allowed to bring any other Bruce Springsteen memorabilia for him to sign. You won’t be allowed to bring CD’s, posters, T-shirts and things like that. The only thing that you’ll be allowed is one photo with Bruce and you will be allowed to take it with your Iphone.

It won’t be much of an event. No book discussion by Bruce, no Q&A session… just a photo with Bruce and that’s it? I bet you won’t even be allowed to talk with Bruce yourself. Maybe Bruce will allow a “hello” and a “handshake” but that’s about all.

Here’s how to get a wristband for Bruce Springsteen’s book signing at the Harvard Coop

Um, sorry Bruce but I’m losing my respect for you more and more. In my opinion, this is a bit egotistical for Bruce and he obviously thinks he’s more important than you.

Ah well, that’s just the way it is, though. A lot of famous bands & artists are great with their fans and some are horrible with their fans. Bruce turns out to be one who is horrible with his fanbase.

There are plenty of bands & artists who are great with their fanbase though. There are kind and down to earth musicians who will sign just about anything that gets handed to them. There are plenty of musicians who will get into long conversations with their fans at “Meet & Greets” and hang out with their fans. One band who I can think of who are great with their fans is Metallica. Watch all their “Meet & Greet” videos in youtube for proof on that.

Bruce is clearly into it for the money alone. He don’t care about the fans at all which is a shame. Bruce is just one of those who are not for autographs much. I think his book is just a big cash grab. Nothing more. I won’t be getting his book.

5 Reasons Why I Stopped Going To National Concerts… seriously fuck ’em…

Leave a comment

When I was young, I used to go to national concerts all the time. I used to buy a lot of tickets to see famous bands & artists at arenas and smaller theaters. I’ve seen too many national bands like everything & everyone from Stone Temple Pilots to Metallica to Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Phish to John Fogerty to Dave Matthews, etc. The list can go on. I haven’t been to a national concert in a long long time. Probably the last national concert I went to was Metallica back in 2009 during the “Death Magnetic” tour. There’s a pretty good reason why I stopped going to national concerts or don’t go to them much anymore and here are those 5 reasons:

  • Overpriced tickets: This is pretty much the main reason. It’s pretty much the no. 1 reason I don’t go. Ticket pricing way too high these days. In this day and age, it can cost $300 – $500 or way more to get the good seats. I remember in the old days concert tickets used to be around $50 – $100. I hate the music industry!
  • Technology has taken over the audience: Whatever happened to people clapping their hands or throwing their fists up in the air to bands playing? These days people stick their Iphones in the air instead. Really sad.
  • Bad live sound and concerts are getting too loud these days: Need I say more? Some national concerts can have horrible sound systems and a bad soundman too. A lot of times you can’t hear the bass very well. You can’t hear the guitar or even the singer. Bad p.a. and bad sound system at a lot of shows.
  • There’s no real talent anymore on the stage: These days singers would get caught lip-syncing or use “auto-tune” to improve their voice live when their singing is actually shit. When there’s a band that plays instruments, most concerts these days bands don’t actually play their instruments at all and a lot of so-called musicians on stage just “miming” along to a pre-recorded backing track.
  • Overcrowding at concerts and rude people: I don’t go to concerts anymore for this big reason ’cause they’re a little overcrowded I think. You can hardly see the bands on the stage anymore ’cause there’s so many people standing and in your way and stuff. Plus people at concerts can be pretty rude to you.

Well there’s a few good reasons why I don’t like going to national concerts anymore. I can explain many more reasons but those are just a few big ones.

If I ever make my first album should I release it on physical CD? I probably should!

Leave a comment

If I ever release my first official album, I thought about making it an online release only but should I release it on physical CD as well??? I really really should. If I ever released my first album on a real CD with a real cover and all that stuff, it would probably go for a limited run and that’s it. Maybe 500 copies would be good enough. I’m sure I can find some affordable CD duplication/manufacturing online that presses albums pretty cheap like maybe 500 copies for $800 or something like that would be good enough. It ain’t like my music is gonna sell big anyway ’cause I’m not a best selling recording artist yet. I’d like to release my first album for physical CD to pass out to friends, family and fans. Yes, I have actual fans who really do love my music which is pretty cool and means a lot. That’s pretty much why I’m dying to make my first album for them.

I know making a real album will cost some but I can find ways to make an album that would be cheaper and won’t be all that high pricing. I really would like to make an album at some point but first I gotta start writing some new originals which I haven’t yet. I’ve been focused on improving my guitar playing still.

I do want to make my first album with decent enough sound quality. Should I record my album at home or in an actual studio? If I were to record my first record in a studio, I’d probably do it at Don Fury studios in Troy. I hear he has affordable rates and his studio recording is all real. No digital bullshit and it’s all analog. If I make my first acoustic album, I could get a great sound out of that guy.

It’ll probably cost me a little over a thousand dollars to make an album but it’ll be worth it. I’d like to work a full time job hopefully and start saving up for all this stuff. I should make an album on CD, I really want to.

I refuse to do Kickastarter and that Pledgemusic bullshit. I would rather make the album from the money I make out of my own pocket and not from other people. I’ve always believed Kickstarter and Pledgemusic are the evils of the music industry and I vow to stay away from them.

An album by me would happen at some point. If I did an album what would be on it? I thought about making just an acoustic album but then I figure, nah. I would like to form a band and make an in-your-face rock n’ roll record with strong riffs and guitar solos.

Never Forget Benghazi as well!!!

Leave a comment

benghazi1

Also, can’t forget the other 9/11. It’s a real shame that the mainstream media would ignore the Benghazi anniversary but if they’re gonna ignore it, I won’t. 4 years of Benghazi and the Benghazi mystery still haven’t been solved yet. No one held accountable yet either. Ridiculous!

I don’t care how good or bad Hillary’s policies are. The only reason I don’t want her president is because of Benghazi.

RIP Chris, Sean, Tyrone and Glen. Thanks for your service too!
