Actually, conservatism still dominates the country and here is proof of that…

Leave a comment

A new poll has been released trying to determine which side is more popular: Conservatives vs. Liberals. It turns out that Conservatives still dominates the country; however, liberalism has risen to %24 since 2012.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/180452/liberals-record-trail-conservatives.aspx

It may seem like that liberalism is more popular than conservatism ’cause that’s how the media likes to promote it as. The mainstream news media is so liberal bias, it’s crazy. If you want conservative news you tune into FOX News.

This is why a lot of people still have a hard time trying to figure out what kind of man Obama really is ’cause the mainstream media refuses to report all the bad stuff about Obama. On news stations like NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. you’re never gonna see headlining stories about Barack & Hillary being responsible for Benghazi, Obama being born in Kenya, Obama murdered his gay lovers to hide his homosexuality, Obama’s ties with Muslim Brotherhood, Obama ordered “Operation: F&F”, Obama murdered Loretta Fuddy, Obama behind the IRS & NSA scandals, etc. in the mainstream news. You might see that stuff on FOX News but everywhere else, no. The mainstream news media like to treat Obama in a positive light that’s why some mistakenly believe that Obama is a good president.

These days if people find out if you’re conservative, you’ll get all kinds of hate and disrespect. This is why conservatives keep their conservative beliefs to themselves because they are afraid of a liberal backlash. I wish more conservatives would grow a spine and speak out against Obama and the radical left in our country.

As you can clearly see, I’m openly conservative and not afraid to say that I am so I’m willing to take some heat from libtards.

It’s interesting how conservatives get so much disrespect and hate. You wanna bash Obama, get ready for a lot of bullshit from libtards. That’s what libtards do, they will do everything in their power to defend and protect the president. They go around attacking conservative facebook pages and internet blogs. I know from experience ’cause most of my blog readers are “liberal” sadly.

I’m not ashamed to be conservative and I like who I am. I’m proud of it. I believe in traditional marriage, I believe in the second amendment, I believe in small government and I believe that abortion is murder. If people don’t like it, here is a big middle finger to all of them.

Why the “you should only care about your own music” is the best attitude to have…

Leave a comment

Bands like Metallica and Phish are two of the most hated bands on this planet. You know what? I’m sure both of these bands are 100% aware of their haters but they don’t give a fuck. That’s part of the reason why I respect both of these bands so much. Despite all the hate and disrespect that Metallica & Phish gets, they just keep going and keep doing what they do. They don’t care about drama. They don’t care about assholes & losers. The only thing they’re focused on is playing music for themselves and their fans. Bands who respond to negativity and drama are most likely to fail at music. Bands shouldn’t respond to negativity of any kind ’cause if they do, it’s career suicide.

The secret to being successful in music and playing music positively is ignoring all the bullshit. Just keep playing your music and ignore everybody.

This is the same attitude that you should have as a local musician. Don’t get yourself involved in any kind of drama and negativity. Yeah, there are gonna be a lot of assholes and all kinds of weird people. There are gonna be a lot of cliques in music for sure but you wanna stay out of that stuff.

I know, “Only caring about your music” may sound kind of selfish but it’s the right thing to do these days.

I’m proud of the music I make. I know I can be a great songwriter… not trying to sound like an egomaniac. If you like what you do musically, you gotta learn to stay above negativity and drama at all times. I guess the way it goes in music, that when you put yourself out there… it opens the doors for criticism so you gotta be ready for it all.

Just learn that not everybody is gonna like you. That’s just the way it is. I would appreciate if I would get more respect and be liked but that’s not what I play music for honestly. I pretty much play music for myself for the most part and I’m always flattered if people out there actually like my music. Whether or not people like me… I’m good either way.

Yeah, I kind of wanna get back out there playing live again ’cause I honestly do miss performing in front of an audience. I was just waiting to write a new batch of songs and learn some new covers to play out. Maybe I’ll hit some open mics first before booking actual gigs. Some people wonder why I do cover songs… well for one thing, I love cover songs. They’re fun to do and I enjoy ’em. I always thought it was important to do both covers and originals.

If I wanna get myself back out there, I gotta ignore all bullshit… online and off. I’m not gonna lie that this music scene is pretty crazy… yes in a bad way.

I am a supporter of other bands & musicians, though. Don’t get me wrong. I just can’t support everything so I just support the bands & artists that I like. The ones that grab my attention.

I gotta be like Metallica and Phish. Not giving a fuck about the haters and just do my thing. You should do the same. Just play music ’cause you enjoy it. It’s the right attitude to have as a musician. Not giving a fuck is what playing music is about, in my opinion.

I love what I do.

Once I get all that new music recording gear which I’m currently saving up for, I’ll get back into making new music again in 2015. I’ll write a lot more originals and learn new covers. I wanna play out again too ’cause I haven’t done that in a while.

On top of that, if you get a lot of haters that’s not necessarily a bad thing ’cause it actually helps your music. Just something to think about, right? All bands and musicians have haters. They all have ’em whether they want to admit it or not ’cause a lot of them will be too coward to admit it. I’m not afraid to admit it as you can see.

Just keep rockin’ and ignore everybody. That’s all there is to it!

Oscar nominees will be revealed next week on Jan. 15th and they will be announced by…

Leave a comment

… JJ Abrams and Chris Pine. Cheryl Boone Isaacs and director Alfonso Cuaron will also help announce the nominees.

This year’s Oscars should be interesting. What will be the Best Picture nominees?

“American Sniper” maybe. I also think the “Theory of Everything” is gonna get a nod ’cause of Stephen Hawking. “Birdman” could also get a nod for “Best Picture.

What about “Gone Girl” and “Interstellar”??? I’m hoping but I doubt it, though.

I haven’t seen “American Sniper” yet but I’m gonna see it next week, hopefully. “American Sniper” comes out in theaters everywhere next Friday on Jan. 16th so I’ll see it then.

While I would like “American Sniper” to get the Best Picture win, I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I wouldn’t be surprised that the Best Picture win will probably end up going to that Stephen Hawking movie. I know the Oscars love those sad and powerful emotional drama type of movies. That’s what they mostly go for instead of the sci-fi and action films.

While Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” was the best Marvel film and I think it’s one of the best superhero films of all time… it’s not gonna get a best picture nod ’cause the Oscars aren’t into those kind of movies. Once again, they mostly go for the sad and powerful drama type of movies.

It’s gonna be interesting to see the nominees next week.

I hate most award shows but I continue to watch the Oscars every year since I’m a huge movie buff and all.

Joe Satriani hits the studio for new album…

7 Comments

Joe Satch just posted this announcement that he began work on his next album which will be his follow-up from his 2013 record, “Unstoppable Momentum” (which kicks total ass, btw).

While I do like shred guitar virtuosos such as Joe Satch, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Yngwie and all those guys… I give the utmost respect to Joe Satriani and Al Di Meola. Joe Satriani and Al Di Meola are both of my heroes and both of those guys are coming out with new records this year so bring ’em on!

How big of a fan I am of Joe Satriani? HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just fucking love the guy’s music and I’m trying to collect all of his stuff as much as possible. I’m trying to collect his discography. Of course, I first got into this guy’s music by hearing his iconic album, “Surfing With the Alien”, that was the album that got me into his music. I even got the rare opportunity to see Joe Satriani live years ago and it was an amazing night, I’ll never forget it. So far, I have 7 of his albums and counting.

Next time I download music from Itunes, I’ll get another Satriani album. I just love his music, man. He’s a genius musician and guitar player. I also love the work Satriani did with Chickenfoot ’cause I have the two of their albums as well.

Listen to a track of his below from his latest album for your listening enjoyment.

So Joe Satriani, Al DiMeola and Slayer all have new records coming out this year. I’m looking forward to all of them!

Obama not a Muslim himself, hey??? Watch this video if you don’t think so…

Leave a comment

Watch this video from start to finish. It’s worth watching, trust me.

Obama not a Muslim himself, hey? If you watch him in this video, there are clips where he’s caught speaking in Arabic language at a speech. At about 5:00 in this video, Obama clearly admitted he’s Muslim himself (the video wasn’t fake or altered, it was a real speech. It was a speech videotaped probably during his Senator days before his presidency.)

This video is sure gonna upset liberals and Islam defenders even more, though. This video from start to finish, it’s interesting and powerful stuff.

Melissa McCarthy is NOW in early talks for “Ghostbusters”…

Leave a comment

Like everybody didn’t see this one coming??? I think we all predicted that Melissa McCarthy would be one of the firsts to get casted for “Ghostbusters” and most of us was predictably right. *sigh*

Like most, I don’t want this movie to happen and they should really leave it alone.

Melissa McCarthy Enters Early Talks for Ghostbusters Reboot

It’s probably gonna tank in the box office anyways so no need to worry about it.

Look like Melissa is trying to lose weight for the role as you can see in the photo above so I don’t think we’ll have to worry about a huge woman running around with a proton pack.

The film is still gonna suck, though. They should have killed this movie after Harold Ramis died.

Now liberals are intolerant over Islam, what’s next???

Leave a comment

It seems that freedom of expression is just about dead in America. It seems that conservatives can’t speak their minds and express their opinions anymore. When they do, liberals try to paint them as “bigots” and “trouble-makers”. They try to paint them as bad people.

Liberals were intolerant toward Conservatives about topics like gay marriage, abortion/birth control, gun control, all of this Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown stuff, and now they’re getting on our asses about Islam.

Whenever an attack happens that is committed by Muslim fanatics, liberals would defend ’em like crazy. It seems that in this day and age,  it’s a crime to insult Islam and it’s okay for liberals to attack Christianity and other religions. It’s bullshit. I can’t blame people for calling Islam evil ’cause they have been responsible for a lot of violence all over the world. The list of Muslim attacks in America and around the world is too long but the most notable attacks are 9/11/01, Benghazi and Charlie Hebdo. You can also add the Kenyan mall attack, the Boston Marathon bombing and UK soldiers getting slaughtered by knife wielding Muslims in London, remember those?

Whenever these Muslim attacks happen, liberals and Muslims around the world would try to defend the religion. Making claims that they are not terrorists and they are good people. Whenever Muslims who claim they are good and say stuff that they are against violence and killing people, the last thing you wanna do is trust them. I don’t know what the Qur’an says and don’t wanna know what it says. You can’t blame people for not trusting this religion after years of violence and murders they committed over the years.

Welcome to Obama’s America everyone. This is what he wanted from the beginning was to get us to respect Islam and try to shove the religion in our faces. Why won’t Obama give it up and admit he’s Muslim ’cause he’s not fooling anyone? He has showed MANY signs of it over the years and he continues to do so to this day.

Soon everyone in America will be forced to convert and Obama’s dream of turning us into a Muslim state will be a reality. When we have a president who is a big time Muslim sympathizer we have a problem. You should be very scared of this president. All the stuff going on with Muslims around the world is just the beginning of the United States of Islam. What’s going on overseas is heading our way. We could soon be slaughtered and killed by Muslim fanatics all over this fucking country.

Conservatives fight back ’cause we are scared and trying to do whatever it takes to protect our homeland and our families. I don’t care what anybody says or thinks, Islam is evil and they are a problem in this world. You can’t blame people for being scared. Fuck Islam.

Song of the Day: “Melissa” by The Allman Brothers

Leave a comment

One of my favorite tunes by the Allman’s. Beautiful tune.

To tell you a little story on how the song was written… Gregg Allman wrote this song on Duane’s guitar. Gregg struggled to write songs of his own. While he threw out 300 of his own originals, he felt that this one is what he liked best ’cause Duane liked it. So Gregg kept the song and put it on the album, “Eat a Peach” in tribute to Duane since he was killed in a motorcycle accident before that record was released.

I plan on doing a cover of this tune myself when I get it up on youtube, I’ll give you the heads up.
