I know I have a lot of enemies out there but I guess that’s a good thing. I guess that’s what you get for telling the truth so much and standing up for things that you believe in.
One thing I seem to be pretty good at is creating enemies with my blog. That’s okay, though. No regrets. I like what I do.

This Benghazi attack stuff just keeps getting more and more interesting. It has now been learned that some members of Ansar Al Sharia who were blamed for the Benghazi attack lived next door to the US Consulate before the night of the attack but they couldn’t do anything about it.
Check out the article, here.
So the attackers were pretty close by. They weren’t far at all. I wonder who gave them some tips to move there? Obviously, Obummer. If they knew exactly where to stay, the US government had to know about those homes that the attackers were staying in. Like the article said, D.C. was warned early that the attackers were living there but of course the warning was ignored. So the U.S. definitely already knew that the attackers were living next door.
Another big clue that Obummer was responsible for this attack.

First the contraceptives got the smackdown on Obamacare and now the federal subsidies have been found illegal in 36 states. Which I think means that the feds can’t provide health insurance subsidies to those who have enrolled through the new changes.

Of course, this administration will play innocent victim over this ’cause you know they will never take responsibility for anything. When will Obamacare supporters get the hint that this is a shit health law and it’s full of illegal things???
Wake up idiots!!! This needs a full repeal. It’s needs to go.

After a thirty year long career, Weird Al Yankovic never had a no. 1 album. It’s true. He may have came close to it a couple of times, though. In the Billboard charts, Al is battling Jason Mraz for the no. 1 spot and I think Al Yankovic is definitely gonna get it.
I’m very proud and happy for Al Yankovic. I really am. Al should soon be bigger than Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in youtube.
I love Al’s idea of no longer releasing albums and rely on youtube to release his music. “Mandatory Fun” is indeed Al’s final album. It doesn’t look like he’s gonna sign with a different label any time soon. He’s just gonna release music exclusively for youtube from this point on. Al have become very successful on the internet last week. I’m proud of him.
“Mandatory Fun” seems to be his best album of his career and I’m gonna buy my own copy soon.
Al Yankovic have been in the music business for many years… even before the days when there was no internet. Because of the internet, a lot of people in this generation are just discovering Weird Al. Many still don’t understand his parody thing so they criticize him for it. That’s understandable ’cause people like that just discovered Weird Al and they don’t know much about him.
I have been a lifelong fan of Weird Al. Been listening to him ever since I was a child. In “Mandatory Fun” he still has that old-school 80’s humor in him, absolutely.
I really respect him for his honesty. Listen to him in interviews. He’s not afraid to say what’s good and what’s bad. He’s also not afraid to agree and disagree with things. For example, in his recent interviews he called out MTV saying how that network is no longer a music station. It’s all reality shows. Man, he’s right. I remember the days when MTV used to be cool. MTV used to be pretty important to Weird Al. I remember when I was a teenager, I would go home from school turn on the TV and switch it to MTV hoping a new Weird Al video would come on ’cause MTV was always playing his videos over the years. He’s so right that youtube is the new MTV.
This is good that he’s doing this ’cause he no longer have to wait for 4 or 5 years to parody a song.
How can you not like Weird Al? His music has always been accused of being for children which is why a lot of adults don’t like him but it’s not true. His music is really for all ages.
Al Yankovic is a genius. How come he isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet when he totally deserves to be? He’s so worthy!
The “UHF” movie has always been my favorite thing that he did. Now that Weird Al has gotten bigger and more successful, maybe more people would discover that movie which he played the leading role in. The only film that he played the leading role in. I really wish Al Yankovic would do a sequel to “UHF” ’cause that would be awesome if he did one. “UHF” is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and laugh so hard every time you watch it. I’d like to get that movie on BluRay sometime. If you haven’t seen “UHF”, I’d suggest you check it out yourself.

Nothing wrong with supporting other musicians that you like and becoming friends with them… all of that is good but the trick is you don’t wanna support musicians at random. I stopped doing that a long time ago. I don’t support musicians who don’t share the same respect in return. What you wanna do is support musicians who really believe in you. If they really like you as a person and musician, that’s when you wanna return the favor. Show them your full support in return. When you do this that way you can absolutely tell that these musicians really do believe in you.
Ways you can tell that other musicians really believe in you and respect you:
1) They are always positive about you. They think you are a good person.
2) They support your music and willing to help you. They go to your shows. Always giving positive feedback on your music and playing. Things like that.
3) They stay loyal to you no matter what others say about you. In other words, they stay friendly with you no matter all the negative things people say about you.
When musicians treat you like shit for no reason and treat you with disrespect, why continue to support them, ya know? They no longer deserve the support and respect when they all of a sudden act like a jerk. You were nothing but nice to this guy. You went to his band’s shows a lot, you bought his albums… gave his band good reviews… they don’t care to return the same respect.
This is what’s going on with me. I was nothing but extremely supportive of this band. A well known local original band who plays country/bluegrass rock and I’m sure you know who I’m talking about. I went to a lot of their shows. Bought all the albums they released. Gave them plenty of shoutouts on my blog and even gave their latest album a positive review. I’m done with that now ’cause their frontman won’t show me respect. He have seemed to join the Brock hating bandwagon.
You see, don’t support musicians like that when all they want to do is spew out all kinds of negative opinions about you.
Make no mistake about it, though… I have other musicians around the area who respect me and I am grateful and honored for that. I do have other musicians who fully support me around the area… agree with it or not. It’s true.
Just because one musician is saying all kinds of negative opinions about you doesn’t necessarily mean the rest of them will agree. All negative criticism about you is just all opinion. That’s it. End of story.
Like I repeatedly say, haters are gonna hate.
Like I said before, only support musicians who support you. That’s how you create your own little music community. No matter what people say about you… you’ll always get supporters and fans. Never listen to the negative jerks.
I know you enjoy this band’s music but why would you want to continue to support them when they don’t seem to care about you at all?
That’s not how a band should act around people. They shouldn’t even have a career and shouldn’t even be playing music. Bands who treat people like shit should be banned from playing clubs and venues. They don’t deserve all the opportunities and good stuff they are getting.
It’s all ego. They’re egomaniacs who think they’re better than you. Pay no attention to them and only support the musicians who DO like you. Music life would be easier this way. 🙂

Gov. Perry says, “Fuck Obama. I’m doing things my way!!!”.
Haha! Rock on, Gov. Rick! This is a real leader here. This guy really cares for the state of Texas and the United States of America. He’s a pretty serious guy.
I bet Obama himself is not happy with Gov. Perry right now. Like it or not, this immigration and border thing is getting way out of hand.

Great advice. When people treat you like shit, don’t be afraid to remove them from your life. Like Danielle said above, it shouldn’t matter if it’s someone you know really well or not. I’ve been doing this for a long time and it works.
When you have your own cousin or a family member of yours or someone you know really well who treats you with disrespect constantly… just pretend they’re dead. It’s gotta be easy to do.
When all ignorant people wanna do is slander you, judge you, and make negative opinions about you… you don’t have to listen to them at all. You shouldn’t be afraid to shut people out of your life.
You deserve happiness and joy. Don’t allow people to ruin things for you.

Yes, I’m in a feud with a certain someone but it’s none of you guys. It’s with somebody who fronts a well-known local band that should be nameless at this time but you’ll probably figure out who I’m referring to soon enough. Which is a shame. I did nothing but support his music… going to his shows, buy his albums. I did nothing but show this guy respect but he doesn’t want to show the same respect in return and he just wants to treat me like garbage online. That’s what goes on a lot around the area’s music scene… a lot of backstabbing going on.
The feud ends here and now. I will no longer reply to this idiot ’cause all he’s doing is just trying to get attention off of me and I don’t need negative people like that in my life.
I have nothing against you guys at all. It’s just that this other douche thinks he can ruin the fun by telling me what I can and can’t post on my blog. He’s been doing that for a long while now. I’m not gonna change for him or anyone else. Not gonna happen. If he hates my blogging so much then why does he continue to read?
It’s my site. It’s not his decision to control it. It’s not his decision of what he wants to see on it.
You guys are cool with me… this dude that I speak of is not. Nobody tells me what to do or how to post on my blog.
I don’t have time for drama and bullshit. Just wanna continue to do my thing. Enjoy life and be happy.
Rock on! \m/

It’s look like that we may soon to get to the full truth of what really happened on the day of 9/11/01. The blame was immediately put on Osama Bin Laden for the attacks but was there any proof that Bin Laden was involved??? I’m not defending Bin Laden but he definitely did NOT, I repeat, DID NOT have anything to do with 9/11. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t the one who planned the attack.
Congressmen Walter Jones and Steven Lynch have been given access to a 28 page document that could tell the truth of what happened on 9/11. The full truth. Walter Jones read it and what he found was so shocking and terrifying that he really can’t talk about it publicly yet since he agreed to sign an oath.
When Walter Jones said, “… those whom we thought we could trust really disappointed me.”
I am almost positive he was referring to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Obama, etc. It’s looking like it’s getting closer to the fact that George W. may have ordered the 9/11 attack. Cheney and Obama helped him. I know you don’t wanna believe that Obama was involved but Obama is definitely helping to protect Bush and helping to cover for him. Notice that Bush and Obama have been very friendly with each other over the years. Even if Bush and Obama are in different parties… they’ve been friends for a very long time. They’re both responsible for the Patriot Act and the NDAA.
Whenever it’s proven that Bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11 then both Bush and Obama lied. It’ll prove that the Bin Laden raid was fake.
Hopefully, they’ll tell us what’s on the 28 page document soon. America deserves to know the truth. Both Bush and Obama needs to be held accountable for 9/11. I bet they both had something to do with the attacks that day.

I don’t care to be a part of the Capital Region’s music scene anymore. Don’t really care to support other bands/artists. Don’t really care to gig of my own. I used to but don’t really give a shit anymore. We don’t have a very good music scene. Never did. No places to play. Unless, all you’re gonna play for is crappy bar rooms and small venues where only a small crowd will show up. We don’t even have much of a music scene, in my opinion. Lot of talent around here but we don’t have a music scene.
There are also too many dramatic musicians with rotten attitudes and huge egos. Too many of them wanna be critical of you if they decide they dislike you. Too many opinionated douchebags around here for sure. This area’s music scene is all a popularity contest pretty much. The way I see it they won’t make you feel welcome in this music scene unless you have the popularity and the talent in your music. If you had both, then maybe you would get taken seriously more. Sad but it is what it is.
There are too many fakes and frauds around here calling themselves “musicians” when they don’t even deserve to call themselves that. Technically, we live in a music scene full of amateurs. There are only very few musicians who are real “professionals” and well deserving of being called that.
What gives these musicians the right to call you a horrible person or a talentless musician? This isn’t fucking American Idol. If you wanna play music, then fuckin’ do it. You don’t have to listen to anybody’s bullshit and opinions around here. Just play your music and let them complain and bitch about you. Be yourself and ignore everyone’s bullshit. Just take negative criticism as a compliment. Other musicians around here don’t have the right to tell you want kind of person they want you to be. You can be who you want to. Being yourself is all that matters.
If you be yourself and ignore everyone’s bullshit, you will win even more respect from people around you.
It’s pretty pointless to be a part of this music scene, anyways. Nothing out there. That’s why I prefer to make music for the internet only. Youtube is pretty much the way to go these days. I like making music strictly for the internet. I like it that way better.
This music scene is trash and I’m not afraid to say it.
