Personally, I never cared if people tried to call me out… you’ll just get ignored…

Leave a comment

I love how people try to call me out on things of what I write on my site… YES, “MY SITE”. NOT YOURS.

If people don’t agree with the things I say on here or I say something that maybe offensive… maybe something sexual and derogatory to them — maybe they find some of the stuff that I say is hypocritical, they’ll try to vent in the comments. Some of them even had the guts to vent on their own site or start an anonymous blog page.

You can call me out any way you want to, any how you want to… nothing is changing. When you try you’ll just get ignored. I never cared what anyone thought of the way I blog ’cause I blog the way I want to. I’ll write my thoughts on any topic anyway I want to.

So what… my blogging is a little controversial yes but I don’t care. I just write what’s on my mind. That’s how I am. That’s how I’ll always be. I’ll write things on my mind no matter how controversial it gets.

I don’t have to write things that makes other people happy ’cause that’s not what this blog is about to begin with. I’ll tell the truth on certain topics even if no one else has the courage to say it.

Calling me out is not gonna solve anything, you’re just wasting your time. I’m never gonna change the way I blog just because other people don’t like it. If you don’t like it, then why do you keep reading it? It isn’t that hard to quit.

Once again, I don’t blog for other people really… I do this for my own reasons.

If you like my blogging and entertained by what I write on here, that’s good. If you don’t like it and you’re easily offended, that’s good too.

A lot of people usually don’t get offended by my online blogging. When they do it’s usually because of my conservative views in politics. People mostly get offended at my Obama posts… thoughts on gay marriage, abortion, 2nd Amendment, etc. I’ve had many people stop supporting me ’cause of my conservative views. They’re okay with my other topics like movies, music, the entertainment industry… it’s just my political views people have a hard time taking seriously. They don’t like my right-wing views in politics.

I’m not afraid to tell the truth about Obama no matter the consequences.

I’ll write other topics how I want to as well. I’ll write what I want to. This blog doesn’t need to be clean, appropriate and family-friendly. Anything goes, brotha!!!! That’s all there is to it. Have fun! It’s not against the rules of the TOS of wordpress to talk however you want to. They really believe in freedom of speech and the 1st Amendment quite well.

The thing is people will never quit reading my blog even if they don’t like it ’cause they’re obsessed with my blogging and will never admit it. They can’t wait to read what I’m gonna say next.

That’s pretty much what I do it for. I do it to entertain people whether I get a good response or bad response. I’m good with either one, man. That’s what a critic does… drive people crazy.

One more dating book to read and then I’ll stop…

Leave a comment

Out of all the information I’ve learned about the dating scene from books, ebooks and youtube videos most of that stuff is just teaching you how to be confident, pick up a date and all of that stuff. Most of the stuff also teaches you how to get laid as well. After going through all of that, I feel that isn’t enough. I needed to learn more so the research on women and romance continues.

As recommended from Neil Strauss’s “The Game”, I had to buy one more book to read on women. The book is called, “The Art of Seduction” by Robert Greene which I got as an ebook for the Ipad. It’s not just an ordinary book that teaches you how to hook up with women. “The Art of Seduction” by Robert Greene teaches you how to become a master seducer and teaches you how to get women to actually fall in love with you. Just started reading this book today. Long book but I’m gonna get through it. I’d recommend the book to you as well.

Iggy Azalea have pretty much won the internet, I think…

5 Comments

Thanks to Weird Al and Jimmy Fallon, Iggy Azalea is about to become a huge mainstream star. She could be bigger than Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, etc. All week, I’ve been seeing facebook talking about her. Plus, I’ve been seeing a lot of facebook users listening to her on Spotify. I’m sure you’ve seen all that too. You can expect Iggy’s album, “The New Classic” to be a no. 1 record pretty soon here. It should be.

Iggy has become a hit on the internet ’cause she’s real good. I love her myself and I usually hate that kind of music. Weird isn’t it? Iggy is one of those artists you can listen to doesn’t matter the genre that you like. If you like metal and rock n’ roll, you would probably like Iggy. You don’t have to be into strictly rap/pop to like Iggy. Anybody who likes any genre can like her.

Iggy’s music is just a lot of fun and her songs are catchy. Plus her lyrics can be pretty deep and have a lot of meaning. I think she’s one of the best pop & rap artists to come out in a long time. I can’t stop listening to, “The New Classic”. It’s an addicting album. One of my favorite albums of this year.

I’m almost 100% positive that not a lot of people heard of Iggy until Weird Al is gonna parody one of her songs and then Jimmy Fallon covered her song on the Tonight Show. That’s pretty much how I heard of Iggy ’cause of Weird Al, I’ve never heard of her before then. I got curious, looked her up in youtube and started listening to her music and decided that I would like her stuff. As long as Weird Al likes her then she is probably good and she is. One of the things that Weird Al is good at when parodying artists is that he helps gives them more recognition. This is why he parodies a lot of artists ’cause it’s his way of supporting them and helping them.

I got the Deluxe Edition of Iggy’s album “The New Classic” when she put a few extra songs on it. It’s a good record and probably one of the best albums of this year. I really mean that too and I’m not into this kind of music that much.

My main genre of music is rock n’ roll and metal but I like a little bit everything else. Iggy rules and I would see her in concert if she ever came around here.

Yes, I think I changed my mind and will probably end up getting the new Weird Al album.

Obama’s response to the MH17 takedown was weak and heartless…

Leave a comment

Obama’s response to the Malaysian MH17 takedown was weak and not compassionate enough. I really hate our president. What was his response to this? All he said was that it “looks like it maybe a terrible tragedy” and ended his response with “working to determine whether there were American citizens on board; that is our first priority”.

If Bush was still president, he would have gave a better and more compassionate response than that.

Don’t be surprised if Obama had something to do with the MH17 take down and the 370 disappearance. Both Obama and Putin should be looked at as top suspects. The last thing you wanna do is trust either one of ’em. They could also be working together on the take down of those planes. How would they know this stuff right away? They were pretty quick at responding to it.

This is Benghazi all over again.

Vladimir Putin shooting down planes??? I’m not surprised… he’s just as evil as Barack Obama…

Leave a comment

So the breaking news story today that Russia may have shot down Malaysian Airlines MH17 over Ukraine. It is being blamed on Russia and I wouldn’t be surprised that Vladimir Putin maybe shooting down planes. It also shows that Russia may have done something with the disappearance of Malaysian 370. I’m not surprised that Vladimir Putin is shooting down planes. Do your research on Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin have been killing innocent people for years. The man is evil and he’s a monster.

Vladimir Putin is just as evil as Barack Obama. Why do you think both men hate each others guts? It’s all jealousy for sure. While Putin does kill people much like Obama… it’s just that Obama is better at hiding it. I’ve been accused of siding with Putin a lot but I’m neutral on Obama/Putin. I hate both of them. They both need to be thrown in prison. Obama and Putin are very much alike. They’re both dictators in their own right. They’re both corrupt leaders. They’re both criminals. They’re both communists as well.

RIP to the victims of MH17. This could help them find out what happened to the 370 plane as well. My heart goes out to the victims families.

Well, at least Joe Biden is being real for a change…

Leave a comment

For once, Joe Biden is telling the truth about something. He finally admits that “hope” and “change” didn’t happen like him and Barack campaigned for in the 2008 elections. That’s why liberals voted for Barack Obama ’cause they were too much of an idiot to fall for his bullshit. Remember, you voted for him, liberals. You all voted for him hoping that “hope” and “change” will happen. I always knew that Barack was full of shit on “hope” and “change”, that’s part of why I never voted for him. The economics is still the same. We’re still broke as fuck and there are no jobs. You think liberals would turn their backs on Obama since he broke his promise on “hope” and “change” but nope, that will never happen.

When two musicians don’t get along…

Leave a comment

Some musicians don’t get along with each other. It happens. That’s the name of the game when you want to be a part of the musicians community. You befriend other musicians. You try to be supportive, helpful and friendly with them but suddenly they don’t like you anymore. They’re always talking shit about you. They start to say a lot of hateful and spiteful criticism about you that’s not true. They think it’s okay to talk like that to you. You ask, why don’t some musicians get along??? Ego and jealousy for sure like always. Some claim it has nothing to do with the music but technically, music has everything to do with it.

When I try to be supportive and helpful with other musicians… and then they start shit-talking me all of a sudden, it gets me thinking… “Oh, this guy thinks he is bigger and better than me”.

Remember my post a while back that a musicians successes and accolades turns them into jerks? That’s exactly what it is. The more successful their music gets, the more of an egomaniac they become. Their ego gets a lot bigger when they get more successes and recognition with their music. That’s why a lot of these musicians act like total douchebags to you especially the more established and successful musicians. These musicians can be pretty obsessed with their ego and they get addicted to it. Their ego expands when they win contests like Battle of the Bands, opening for national acts, filling up clubs/venues with lots of people, etc. That’s when they have the rock star attitude and that’s what it is. These guys think they are rock stars.

This is a big part of why I don’t care to support local musicians anymore ’cause they can be the most dramatic people I’ve ever seen. I know this ’cause I’ve been a part of the local music scene for years. I’ve seen how they post in the old local music message boards from the past. These musicians haven’t changed ’cause I see how they post in facebook today. I have been unfairly accused of starting drama around musicians but it’s not true at all. All I’ve done over the years was call out their bullshit. That’s it. That’s what I’ve done on my blog over the years of my life was call out their bullshit that goes on in the musicians community.

The local musicians community is crazy as hell, man. It really is. There are egomaniacs all over the place. You can’t trust any of them.

It maybe fun to play rock star but when you’re an unsigned musician there is no such thing as being rock star around here. I don’t think I’m a rock star. I’m just a regular guy who loves to play music. I don’t take myself that seriously. I never cared to get big with my music. I never cared to win Battle of the Bands or open for national acts. Congrats on your successes and accolades but that doesn’t make you a rock star. You’re still a local musician. You’re just a legend in your own mind.

This is why you should stop supporting other musicians and making friends with them. You need to focus on your own thing musically.

Who cares if other musicians don’t like you, ya know? It’s not the end of the world. Life goes on. I’m not worried about ’em. Fuck ’em and let ’em cry about you. You don’t have to change a thing for them. Be yourself. Be who you wanna be. I know I sound like a broken record and repeat myself but I’m trying to make a point.

I’ve had too many feuds with other musicians and people around this crappy music scene. Many of them still hate me but who cares.

I’m all about my own music, that’s all I care about. That’s what you wanna focus on. You don’t ever wanna worry about what this guy and that guy thinks of you. Always focus on your own music. That’s part of why these guys get mad at you ’cause they know you have passion with your music and they just wanna see you fail.

This is part of why I don’t really care to be a part of the Albany music scene anymore, ya know? I just wanna do my own thing and that’s the end of it. If they don’t care to give me any respect like a mature adult, then I won’t give them any respect in return. That’s called karma. I just wanna enjoy life and be happy. I don’t focus on the negatives.

Be yourself. Don’t let other musicians think they can change you if they don’t like who you are.

Honestly, I’m not too thrilled by the new Weird Al parodies, don’t think I’ll get the new album…

5 Comments

I meant what I said in the title of this post.

I realize that a lot of people are just discovering Weird Al since he’s creating a lot of internet buzz but Weird Al have been doing the parody thing for more than a few decades. He’s been doing it since the 80’s. Honestly, I love Al Yankovic’s earlier stuff more.

You should check out his stuff in the 80’s back when he had the curly hair, glasses and mustache. You should especially check out his first self-titled album. Also check out “Polka Party”, “Dare To Be Stupid” and “The UHF Soundtrack” which are his best albums, in my opinion. I also thought “Off the Deep End” was another one of his best albums.

I’ve been listening to Weird Al for years. Ever since I was a child. I remember the first Weird Al album I bought was his first self-titled album and it was on cassette tape.

I still like Weird Al, it’s just that his older stuff is better.

David Bowie hints at new music… new album on the way???

2 Comments

Prior to the release of David Bowie’s latest album, “The Next Day” which came out last year, Bowie forced us to wait for 20 years for that album to come out. There was a lot of speculation over the years that Bowie was done with music. Turns out that he wasn’t. The album “The Next Day” came out… it sold well and got great reviews from critics and fans.

Last Saturday, Bowie held a charity auction event in London and he sent fans a surprising message that he’s planning to release new music soon. So does this mean he’s planning to release another new album???

http://pitchfork.com/news/55917-david-bowie-says-new-music-coming-soon/

I’m glad Bowie is not done making music. He maybe done performing on the stage and touring but nothing’s stopping him from making new songs. It’s pretty obvious that he’s done performing live on the stage. I mean, when his latest album “The Next Day” came out… there were no shows announced for it. Bowie didn’t even perform any songs from that album on late night talk shows either so I guess he is done performing for good.

Ah well, at least he’s still making albums, though. Good for him. I’m a longtime Bowie fan. I’ve loved his music for years and still do. He’s a huge inspiration for my own songwriting as well.

“America” by Dinesh D’Souza brief review…

Leave a comment

Today I just finished reading Dinesh’s book, “America” on the Ipad. I did end up buying this book for the Ipad ’cause I know I wouldn’t be able to find this book in bookstores. This book was easy to read and it was short so it only took me about three days to read.

This is an important book that everyone in America needs to read. Doesn’t matter the party you’re in. Since that Dinesh is a conservative, this book really isn’t aimed at just conservatives. He talks about both conservatives and liberals. The story of Dinesh’s “America” really isn’t about America disappearing off the globe… it’s really about us going through a transformation by our US government.

Throughout the book, he goes throughout our US history trying to give you a clear picture of what America would have been like if those things didn’t happen. He goes through most of US history, the birth of America in 1776 to what goes on today.

He gets a lot of criticism and hate from liberals accusing this guy of attacking Obama but that’s not the point of this book. The point of this book is just a warning to us all that America is changing but not in a good way. He talks about Obama but this book really isn’t about him. The book is about what’s happening to America. Our homeland.

Dinesh does however gets into deep insight of how Obama turned out to be though. Look up these names: Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Edward Said and Roberto Unger who are known as the “Founding Fathers of Obama”. They are the ones who made Obama to what he is today. Obama’s Kenyan father, Obama Sr. was also a huge influence in Obama’s goal of transforming America. All of these men associated with Obama in the past.

This is an important book that everyone needs to read. See the movie too. I’ll see the movie when it comes out on DVD/BluRay.

Instead of attacking Dinesh and hating on him, you should actually read his books or see his films. Maybe you would be interested in what he have to say. I respect the hell out of him ’cause he is the master at debating politics and this guy is not afraid to tell the truth even if it gets him in trouble. The things that this guy says about Obama is true and makes a lot of sense. This guy is not a conspiracy theorist like many called him. I enjoy watching Dinesh’s debates and TV interviews. He’s an interesting guy. He is somebody I’d like to meet in person someday.

I suggest you guys to read this book or see the movie. Either one is cool, if you got the guts. When you do, you may actually see that this guy is not all that bad. I would like to see this movie but it isn’t playing anywhere around here so I’ll just wait for DVD/BluRay.

This guy Dinesh D’souza was the one who helped me wake up about a lot of stuff on Obama. Dinesh does a great job. You really should check him out. I’m a huge fan of his work.
