I'm a musician, singer/songwriter, blogger, writer, poet, bodybuilder, movie lover, music lover, video gamer, history/political buff, conservative/republican, etc. I like to do a lot of things.
Obama’s speeches over the years of his presidency has always been the same things. Whoever writes his scripts for his teleprompters can never come up with anything new. All he’s going to do tonight is brag about how much he achieved when he hasn’t really achieved anything. He’s gonna brag about how he improved the economy and jobs when you know those reports are a big lie. The economy has never improved ’cause if it did then the budget wouldn’t have been at 18 trillion or over.
It’s just gonna be the usual crap. He’s never gonna utter the words, “Islamic terrorism” once tonight… you know that. He’s gonna cry “gun control”, “Climate Change” and he’s going to continue to talk about “gay rights”… blah blah blah. He’s going be talking shit about Republicans, the GOP and he might call out Donald Trump tonight. The usual Obummer stuff, nothing new.
Everybody thinks he’s leaving but I don’t think he is. We could put up with him for a pretty long time due to “sharia law” that could take over the United States soon. People are getting so excited of him leaving but don’t get too excited yet. The 2016 General Elections may not even happen at all.
Back then when I first started singing, I used to be shit really. I remember back in the day that so many people criticized my vocals and trashed my singing publicly like crazy. These days, I haven’t seen anybody say anything “negative” about my singing at all. Most of the feedback I’ve been getting on my singing lately has been very very positive which means a whole lot. A lot of practice would pay off for sure.
A lot of people make the mistake that you can never improve your singing, you get what you get but not really. Anybody can become a better singer. If I can do it, you can too. You just have to get the “head voice”. Get all of that sound out and singing “clear” most of the time. If you get the “head voice”… the buzzing sensation in your head and when you feel the vibration in your mouth that’s when you got it. That’s how you wanna sing.
In the past, I used to sing really bad ’cause back then I never had the “head voice” then I finally got Jim Gillette’s “Vocal Power” course and that helped me a lot.
The question you have to ask is since I improved my singing so much lately, will I ever further my music into a big career? I’d love to. I’d love to play more gigs and hit the bigger stages. Maybe even join a band but I don’t really care to beocme a big star. I’m just trying to stay humble and leave my ego at the door as much as possible. I just do music for fun and that’s the end of it. I don’t live under the delusion of becoming a big star. Just wanna play music ’cause it’s what I do.
Whenever I start my internet album hopefully this year, I plan to make my singing really good on it as much as possible. I want to give it my best. See if I can melt people’s faces with my singing on my original songs is my goal really. I’m flattered that people enjoy my covers but I wanna see if they can enjoy my original work too and I’m trying all I can to make that happen.
I’m actually pretty happy with the winner results of last night’s “Golden Globes”. It seems that the awards went with the right people. I’m so glad “Mad Max: Fury Road” didn’t get the big win for “Best Motion Picture – Drama” last night. Instead that winner went to “The Revenant”. I have not seen “The Revenant” yet but will when it’s available for rental.
Here are the results of last night’s Golden Globes:
I hate award shows but I watch the Globes and the Oscars to see what movies and stuff are gonna win awards since I’m a huge movie buff and all.
So it’s looking like that “Mad Max: Fury Road” isn’t gonna win Best Picture at all at the Oscars. It’s looking like either “The Revenant” or “The Martian” will get the Best Picture win at the Oscars, I’ll bet your money on it. It’s most likely that “The Revenant” is going to win big.
Anyway, I’m glad Sly won for “Creed” and glad that Matt Damon won for “The Martian” ’cause they were both great performances. Matt is probably gonna get another Oscar too for that “Martian” role. I saw “The Martian” in theater myself so I knew that was a great performance. Matt Damon already is an Oscar winner for his screenplay of the film “Good Will Hunting”, he’ll get another Oscar nod for “The Martian” for sure.
I don’t care for award shows anymore but I just want to see Sly get his recognition for his acting talent which he totally deserves finally. I’m really am happy and proud for Sly as I’m sure the rest of his fans are too.
Ya know, the Consequence of Sound is way off on this post that Leo Dicaprio is reacting to Lady Gaga winning the award. They’re so wrong on that. Leo is reacting to Lady Gaga bumping into him. Leo didn’t seem to mind, though, as Leo seems to enjoy getting bumped by Gaga as you see Leo raising both of his eyebrows after. Did Gaga bump into Leo on purpose? Yes, for sure. I think she has the hots for him like most women. She knew he was sitting there and she wanted to grab his attention. If you look closely, you can see Gaga looking at him the whole time. These are the kind of things women do when they like a guy.
Admittedly, Gaga was looking gorgeous and very stunning at the Golden Globes. She wasn’t look like a total freak for once. I’m probably one of the very few who have never seen, “American Horror Story” and I’ll have to check it out to see what all the fuss is about.
That’s the problem we’re having in this day and age. In the age of social networking, you see men and women ranting about how people are bringing them down. They have to explain themselves to the person they are getting attacked and bullied by. They have to try and defend themselves, hoping this bully will stop picking on them and the bully will try to be more friendly with you. Never gonna happen. When negative people attack you… they want you to respond. They want you to see you ranting about it. They want to see you pissed off and angry. That’s why they do it is to piss you off and anger you on purpose ’cause they find it amusing and entertaining to them.
When you get negative people judging your life. Judging you by the way you live… you don’t need to explain yourself to them. When you do, all you’re doing is making situations much worse. The bully will continue to be an asshole to you no matter what you say or do knowing from my own experience. So a good way to handle negative people is by not responding to them at all and removing them your life. Pretend that they’re dead is what I do. Ignoring negative people completely is the best thing to do really. Ignoring negative people really does help make your life much more peaceful.
I try to give that advice to other people but they don’t listen to me. They continue to defend themselves against negative people getting all over them. In my facebook newsfeed, you see people ranting everyday about how people are getting all over them especially women mostly.
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that I don’t respond to negative people at all. I just delete anything negative and just block them. WordPress doesn’t have a block feature so I just delete the comments and ignore it if something negative comes in. I only reply to positive responses, that’s what I look for. People can disagree with me on certain topics as much as they want to as long as the response is positive. I don’t mind people disagreeing with me on things. I just want people to be positive about it. In this day and age of social networking and the internet when people disagree with you on certain topics, they have to be mean and be a douchebag about it. Call you every name in the book, get into all kinds of drama. I know from experience.
When it comes to politics discussion though… liberals have to be so negative when they disagree. They’ll call you a bunch of names, swear up a storm and all that stuff. It’s part of why we’r getting fed up with liberals ’cause they’re really nasty to people. Almost all the time. Wow. They continue to be nasty to people to this day.
There’s so much negative people everywhere these days whether online or offline. You have to eliminate negative people from your life. I don’t have time for negative people. I want to surround myself with positive and joyful people. Don’t give negative people any attention ’cause when you do, all you’re doing is giving them more attention and they don’t deserve it.
One of my heroes and inspirations in my music life is now gone. I’ve listened to Bowie’s music throughout my life. He was a huge influence on my own music as you can probably tell. I’ve just recently listened through all of his albums on Apple Music streaming which I am proud of. David’s real name is David Jones but he had to change his last name so he could avoid confusion with the other David Jones who sings for The Monkees.
Bowie was known for making a lot of hit songs that you hear on FM radio everyday with classic songs such as: Space Oddity, Heroes, Golden Years, Lets Dance, Suffragette City, Queen Bitch, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, and many other smash hits. While he made tons of great hits… he was more than just a hit maker. He was a songwriter and musician. He was also more than just rock n’ roll even though he was made famous for the glam rock style back in the 70’s. He was an eclectic musician who performed all genres of music. You name it. Bowie did it whether it’ll be rock n’ roll, pop, techno, etc. The man did it all.
Bowie was also more than just a music artist. He was also a visionary artist and was big into fashion. The man was also a movie star as he had plenty of movie roles over the years. He starred in some movie roles as the leading star but in a lot of his films were mostly co-starring roles and cameos. The movie that made him famous in the movie business was obviously Jim Henson’s “Labrynth” in which he played the Goblin King. He also had a big role in Christopher Nolan’s film, “The Prestige”. Don’t forget, he also had a small role in Ben Stiller’s comedy, “Zoolander”.
Bowie released a new album called, “Blackstar” on his birthday and passed two days later. After doing a little reading, Bowie began work on “Blackstar” after completing “The Next Day”. Why was Bowie in a hurry to get another new album out this fast? Was that a sign that he knew that he was gonna go soon and he wanted to put out a new record as quickly as possible? Probably. A lot of people are shocked to hear Bowie’s passing but if you pay attention on his new album “Blackstar” and listen to some of the lyrics, he’s giving you signs that something is about to happen to him and it isn’t gonna be good. Watch the videos for “Blackstar” and “Lazarus”. What do you think “Blackstar” means? Does that have something to do with death? He’s giving you clues. That could explain those mysterious symbols under the blackstar and why he has a white blindfold with black stars as his eyes. Giving you signs that he’s about to go soon. Just his way of telling his fans goodbye. You should have seen his death coming ’cause I believe that’s what his new album was about.
Lyrics for “Lazarus”…
Look up here, I’m in heaven I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now
Look up here, man, I’m in danger
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain’t that just like me?
By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
Then I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know, I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now ain’t that just like me?
Oh I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh I’ll be free
Ain’t that just like me?
Now that you figured out why he never went back to performing again ’cause his body and his health couldn’t take the stage anymore. Talk about his health was nothing new ’cause the press talked about it for a while but never went into details. I never thought it was cancer though.
I don’t think “Blackstar” will be his final album, though. I’m sure Bowie has plenty of unreleased material in the vault so we will indeed see more Bowie music in the future.
RIP Bowie and thank you for the great music over the years. Bowie was one of the main reasons I got into songwriting and wanted to write songs on my own. Bowie was 69 years old.
I’m pretty thrilled for Sly! I just knew he would get it. Next he’s gonna get his Oscar for that “Creed” role. Like I said, I always knew that man had acting talent and it’s about fucking time he’s getting recognized for it. People always criticized his acting skills and finally proved the haters wrong! Congrats Sly!
Well this makes me like Sly even more. He shows his support for Donald Trump in Variety magazine which will for sure upset his liberal fans. Is Sly a conservative/Republican? Is Sly a liberal? According to this article, it seems that Sly is neither so he’s probably an “independent” voter.
Best of all, I love how Sly says, “You can’t be one-sided forever” which is totally true. That’s what I realized, ya know? I used to see myself a die-hard “right-winger” but I don’t anymore. I’m realizing now that staying on one side in politics is pretty lame. I wish the rest of this country would think the same, ya know?
One way to defeat the government and to get our country back is that people needs to stop siding with your party on everything. I’ll have a rant on that soon. There’s no reason to be one-sided all the time that includes both sides, I’m not just talking liberals. “Conservatives” needs to stop being one-sided too!
A lot of people mistakenly believe that Trump doesn’t have what it takes to get elected. Many mistakenly believes that Trump is a plant to help Hillary win. Well this new FOX News poll that just came out should absolutely prove the doubters wrong.
I’ve always believed that Trump is the real deal and he’s in it to win it. His candidacy is not designed to help Hillary at all, can people be this delusional? There’s also no freakin’ way that Hillary can beat Trump. Like it or not, Trump is gonna get a landslide win, big time.
I’m pretty confident that Trump is gonna be the next one. I’m hoping and praying! He’s still my guy for Prez!
