Phish… I don’t care what anyone thinks about them… they’re still great…

Phish is still getting a lot of haters. I can never understand why. I don’t see any reason to hate Phish. To me they’re just a band like all the others. Just doing their thing. Making music and touring.

The haters and doubters accuse this band of a lot of things… they accuse them of jerking themselves off and being arrogant. They’ve been called by every name in the book by people. They also don’t like how they get fans into drugs and all of that.

I’ve said it repeatedly that it’s not the band’s fault that they get people into drugs. That is how the hippie movement have always been. It goes way back to the 60’s. People have been doing drugs at concerts for many years. It’s called psychedelic. If you think the drugs with Phish is bad… then why don’t you check out the Grateful Dead. Fans and drugs were a lot worse with the Grateful Dead. I know that drugs are a huge problem with Phish, that can not be denied but I don’t care about the drugs, man. It’s about the music. The music is what makes Phish great.

I’ve always respected Phish as I’ve listened to their music for many years and I’ve seen them in concert a few times as well. I still respect the band.

Like I said, I see no reason to hate them at all. They’re just a band, that’s all they are. Their music is just very enjoyable to listen to.

If you want to get a good idea of what the band is all about watch their interview in the video below. It’s good stuff. They seem like nice and down to earth guys. Trey is always smiling and enjoying himself. So why the hate?

I think their new album, “Fuego” is the best album they’ve ever done. You really should check it out and give it a listen yourself. I have no problem with Phish at all.

I don’t understand why that so many people who used to be fans of the band turned their backs on them. I think jealousy is a huge part of that. Phish is getting bigger. They had a 30 year career and the band is still very popular. They still sell out shows. The psychedelic and jam band movement is still alive and well. I never turned my back on Phish. I will always be loyal to them.

Love ’em or hate ’em… Trey Anastasio is a musical genius. Phish deserves more respect for a lot of reasons.

Becoming a more professionally skilled guitarist takes time and hard work but I’m getting there…

My goal as a guitarist is to fully master the instrument. Become more professionally skilled. Not really a virtuoso but my goal is to become a great guitar player. I have been trying to get there for the past 19 years I have been playing.

I feel that I got good enough at rhythm guitar. I have a good sense of timing with the metronome now. I think I totally understand… timing, rhythm and tempo. A long time ago, I used to hate playing along with a metronome ’cause it used to be so hard but now I love it. Playing along with a metronome is a piece of cake now. The more you practice, the easier it becomes.

While I feel I’m a good enough rhythm guitarist, I feel I still have a lot of learning to do on lead guitar and I’m doing all I can to improve that as well. I practice every day on lead guitar. Trying to become great at guitar solos like all of my guitar heroes: Hendrix, Satriani, Page, etc. I wanna be able to play like them but add my own style to it as well.

It takes years and years of practice and hard work to get great at guitar. I just wanna take my guitar playing to the next level. Become more advanced. I’m studying music theory too and I think that’s important for me to do is to memorize all of this music theory stuff and understand it all. Music theory isn’t that hard to learn either. Getting better at ear training and improv too. I wanna become an improv musician. Be able to play what I hear in my head is my goal.

I appreciate that there are a lot of bands and solo artists writing songs with guitar but many of them are forgetting one thing. Great guitar playing. Sure, it’s okay to throw a bunch of chords together and write a little song with it but if they take the guitar playing more seriously… that’ll take your songwriting to the next level.

I’m trying to get better. I wanna become a guitar great and it just takes a lot of time to get there. Still have a lot of learning to do.

Conservatism is still alive and strong, it’s just not being promoted hard enough…

Conservatism is still alive and strong. It may not seem like it but it is. Evidence of that is that Barack Obama’s polls and ratings are not doing too good. So I’m in good company when it comes to conservatives in America. Conservatism is actually bigger than liberalism. It’s hard to see because Conservatism is not promoted enough by the national news media. It’s pretty obvious that national media is being way too liberal: NBC, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, PBS, etc. National media on the internet is a bit too liberal as well.

This is why a lot of people still can’t see Obama’s lawlessness. This is why a lot of people still can’t see that Hillary intentionally left 4 Americans dead at the Benghazi consulate. It’s because national media have been heavily promoting liberalism. Liberals look at liberal news as “credible source” while conservatives look at national media as a big joke. We don’t believe any of it. Many of us believe that the news media is just as corrupt and broken. They don’t wanna be honest about Obama’s lawlessness and the criminal actions of this administration.

Obama impeachment would have definitely happened if news media was more conservative. If the news media was more aggressive on Obama and if they reported his lawlessness more, than impeachment would have definitely been possible.

This is why I don’t pay attention to what goes on in national news like all those TV networks I listed above. I don’t watch any of them for news on politics. Too liberal for me… plus they make this administration look too good. I use the internet to follow what’s going on, mostly. The only news network that is more conservative is FOX News obviously. I don’t even watch that station either. Although, I think they’re doing a good job with the Benghazi investigation ’cause they are the only network being real about this administration. Why do you think Barack Obama hates them so much? Behind the scenes, I’m sure Barack tried to control FOX News and tried to tell them what they can and can’t report but FOX News wouldn’t go for his bullshit which is good for them. That’s why that network gets my respect. My question is, how come FOX News is the only network getting on this administration? We need more.

If the news media did their jobs… promote Obama’s lawlessness more… then it would be possible that we can take this guy down. People don’t agree with impeachment ’cause there’s not enough. The media is not promoting impeachment enough.

Republicans in Congress refuse to impeach Obama ’cause they’re worried of losing their career over racism. That is pretty much why Speaker Boehner decided to do the lawsuit instead of impeachment. Republicans are scared of impeaching the man for whatever reason. Even though they do know he is a lawless president and even though they don’t like Barack, they’re still afraid to impeach him. Why? Have some balls… do whatever it takes to save America even if it maybe a risk to your career. I would have lost my job just to save America. Anything. How come Republicans have to be such cowards about it?

This is exactly how Obama won’t get impeached. The race card would get played.

If that’s how Republicans are gonna be, then they are traitors. All of them. If Barack was a conservative president and white, he wouldn’t have lasted long at all.

I still say never say never on Obama removal from office. If not impeachment, then he might resign if too much info of his scandals gets out there. We’ll have to wait and see.

Back to conservatism vs. liberalism, I’m not saying get rid of the liberal party completely. I’m saying to give us a little more respect. This country doesn’t revolve around liberals. They need to respect our beliefs and opinions. Give us a little more freedom… that’s pretty much why we’re getting a little fed up with them. That’s why we criticize them a lot. Like I said before, conservatism is still alive and strong… it’s just not as mainstream as it used to be.

If Reagan was still alive, he would have been disgusted with liberal media too. He would have started another conservative revolution if he was still here. He would have did whatever it took to make conservatism big again.

Weird Al video no. 2… “Word Crimes”… Robin Thicke parody…

Here is Weird Al video no. 2. “Word Crimes” which is a parody of that crappy Robin Thicke song that I absolutely hate. Thankfully Weird Al made his take on the song a lot better. I enjoyed Weird Al’s version a lot. This one is a lot funnier than, “Tacky” in my opinion.

Al Yankovic is so right. If you have bad grammar and spelling on the internet, you get mocked for it.

I like how Al writes comedy songs that are based on reality and songs that people can relate to. He not only wants to entertain people with his music, he also wants to help people.

My writing and grammar may not be perfect admittedly but I have been studying and learning on my own, though.

Not everyone have to have perfect English online. A lot of people use the internet as if they are talking to you in the real world if you know what I mean.

Even the best writers don’t always have perfect English… they make mistakes too. Why do you think authors and journalists have editors???

I’m gonna get the new Weird Al album in a couple of weeks.

Why liberals refuse to believe Hillary’s involvement in the 4 deaths of Benghazi…

Predictably, the autograph session event at the Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs is sold out. The one where Hillary is scheduled to do an autograph signing for “Hard Choices”. Conservatives try to warn Hillary’s involvement with the deaths of 4 Americans of Benghazi and conservatives tried to protest but sure enough, liberals don’t listen to us. I’m sure liberals know about Hillary’s involvement with the Benghazi attacks, they just don’t believe that she intentionally left those 4 Americans dead. In their mind they believe that Hillary did the right thing not sending military help and all of that. Liberals refuse to believe Hillary’s a murderer for a few reasons: 1) Hillary’s chapter on Benghazi in “Hard Choices” (liberals fell for her lies) 2) Bill Clinton and Obama help defended her 3) Liberal media helps defend her (liberal news stations like NBC, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, CBS, etc.) 4) Many of them actually believe that the reason for the attacks was over some silly youtube video (thanks to that idiot Susan Rice). 5) Other biographers who write about Hillary helped defend her and newspapers/magazines, etc.

Bookstores all over America know about Hillary’s involvement and they know she is being put down in a negative way in politics but bookstores don’t care. As long as her book is selling and as long as she’s popular, bookstores in America will book her for an event ’cause it’s all about the money. They know that Hillary will sell a lot of tickets. They won’t give a shit how criminal Hillary is. They know that Hillary will make them a lot of money. Bookstores don’t care about politics and they don’t care how controversial a famous person is. As long as it makes them the money, that’s all they care about.

It would be nice if bookstores around the US would grow a spine and not book her an event ’cause of her Benghazi involvement but nope. They can’t resist Hillary ’cause of her popularity. They know she can make these bookstores the money.

When she does these book signings, I’m sure Hillary will get a few hecklers. I’m sure she gets protesters standing outside of the bookstore during these events. That’s how Benghazi is gonna haunt her forever. It’s never gonna go away. People will not forget.

Hillary needs to be in prison and I hope she gets caught before 2016. In a later topic, I will talk about more on how liberal media is a huge problem in our country.

It’s insane how she’s getting all of this support. It’s not jealousy ’cause there’s nothing to be jealous of Hillary about. They don’t realize that they are showing support for someone who took orders to leave 4 Americans dead by a certain somebody. If you wanna support a cold-blooded murder by all means, go for it. Be my guest. Someday you’re gonna regret supporting Hillary when you find out what kind of woman she really is.

Remember, Hillary was partly involved in Nixon’s Watergate cover-up so she’s definitely no stranger to cover-ups. This is true, look it up. She was a part of Nixon’s scandal when she was young. So her experience of cover-ups go waaaaayyyy back.

Hillary is famous for being famous, much like all of them reality stars…

Hillary is obviously very popular and I can never understand why but this is just my observation. In my opinion, Hillary is famous for being famous kind of like all of those reality stars such as Paris Hilton, Snooki, Kim Kardashian, etc. Hillary fits right in there perfectly. Yes Hillary have been First Lady (which doesn’t count as political experience), Senator and Secretary of State but that is all. Through those positions she has been in over the years, she has done nothing positive or heroic. She accomplished nothing through those three positions. What have she done that is so heroic? Why is she such an inspiration to many? She hasn’t accomplished anything heroic and positive. She hasn’t made a difference with America. So why is this woman so special to left wingers?

She doesn’t deserve fame. I think she got fame ’cause fame obviously fell on her lap and she obviously got it through Bill Clinton. Bill helped her get the fame. Don’t go making all of these claims and lies that you think she is an accomplished woman when she is not. Don’t go showing me all of these ridiculous lists of what she accomplished over the years ’cause they are all made up lies. She hasn’t done anything to get the fame.

I think the only reason that the left is dying to make her President is ’cause it’s a great opportunity for them to accuse the right of being sexist and misogynistic when they criticize Hillary’s politics. You know how when people criticize Obama, they get called racist? Well the similar thing is gonna happen when Hillary is president. When people bash her, they’ll call them sexist or misogynistic so be ready for that one.

You know how that many think there is nothing wrong with Obama after all the criminal actions he have done? Well the same is gonna happen with Hillary when she’s president. When she’s president she can commit all kinds of criminal acts, shred the constitution to pieces, sign awful laws no one likes and all that stuff… people will always believe she did nothing wrong.

Hillary doesn’t deserve to be where she’s at right now. She should have been in a women’s prison right now. That’s where she should be. She’s a cold blooded murderer. She’s anti-American much like Barack. She needs to be held accountable for what she did to the Benghazi consulate. She shouldn’t be out there living her life… writing books, getting fame and money. She shouldn’t be running for office. She needs to be in prison.

It’s amazing to me that her supporters or fans want to ignore the bad stuff and continue to support her.

Like I said in a post before, I am beginning to think that America supports and embraces criminals if they want to continue to support people like Hillary and Barack. They’re both criminals and monsters. The left support these people ’cause they love the idea of destroying America. The left is just as Anti-American as they are. They want to see America get destroyed and that’s why they find Hillary & Barack heroic.

I am not afraid to say these things. I am not afraid to say things that others doesn’t have the courage to say. I like to say things even if people don’t want to hear it.

Weird Al’s first video for “Mandatory Fun”… “Tacky” (parody of Pharrell’s “Happy)

This was a pretty cool video, I guess. It just have several stand up comedians just dancing and singing along, that’s it. To be honest, I don’t know who most of these comedians are. The only one I know of is Jack Black, of course but I don’t know who the rest of them are.

I have noticed one thing though that is pretty inappropriate for a Weird Al video. The black lady (Aisha Tyler???) in the video who grabbed her breasts and playing with them. Doesn’t seem like a Weird Al thing to me. Most of Weird Al’s material is supposed to be family friendly and I have never seen anything dirty or sexual in Weird Al’s videos over the years. Really weird. I hope Al Yankovic will be careful with this video ’cause some might be offended and controversy might start.

I like Weird Al’s take on the song… I expected the video to be better than that. I’m glad Jack Black and Weird Al finally teamed up together, though… that was long overdue.

Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton coming to town to sign copies of “Hard Choices”…

Yes. It is true. Hillary is obviously on tour for her new book, “Hard Choices”. She’s gonna make a stop in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. at a bookstore called, “Northshire Bookstore” on July 29th. She’s just gonna do an autograph signing it looks like. She won’t be giving a speech of some kind which is predictable. If she gave a speech it would be pretty risky for her ’cause she knows people will be shouting “Benghazi” as some kind of protest.

I would go to this and scream, “BEEENNNNGGHHAAZZzzzziiii…” to her face and bring up “Christopher Stevens” name but that would probably get me arrested. I don’t wanna get arrested for anything so to protest Hillary being there… I just won’t go and I would just boycott Northshire Bookstore for having her. I would never shop there and would never step foot in that store now.

If you look at the facebook above, that post got like over 16 likes and I’m like, “What”??? Probably blind and ignorant liberals who worship the hell out of Hillary Clinton. Her killing 4 men and getting away with it just made her a popular icon in government. Her killing 4 men may as well make her president too. How messed up is that? This country supports murder and embraces it. Welcome to America.

Hmmmmm… Obama just asked a Texas man at a restaurant if he is gay, a straight man never does that…

While doing his fund raisers and speeches in Texas, Obama stopped to get a bite to eat at a restaurant called, “Franklin’s Barbecue” which is a popular restaurant in Austin, Texas. A man named Daniel Webb who works at the cashier is a comedian and sometimes draq queen.  When Obama went up to the cashier to pay for his meal, Daniel says, “Equal rights for gay people!” and Obama responds with, “Are you gay?” Then Daniel says, “Only when I have sex”. Then they get a laugh and fist bump each other.

See the article here:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/texas-man-had-perfect-response-160009918.html

Now, a straight man would never ask another guy if he’s gay like that. You know that. I know that. Obama is getting closer and closer to the possibility that he maybe gay himself. This is another sign. Obama keeps showing it more and more. Only a gay guy would have the confidence to ask a guy if he’s gay in a public place full of people. Obama seemed pretty confident asking that question. I’m sure Daniel himself was surprised that he would ask a question like that. Come on now. Get real, guys. Obama is not fooling anyone. Obama seemed to be pretty thrilled with Daniel’s response too.

Try and deny this one!!!

Obama just confessed he lied to get elected… sort of…

Obama, “I’m just telling the truth now. I don’t have to run for office again, so I can just, you know, let her rip.”.

Yep, Obama really said that.

Pay attention to what he’s saying there. It means that he wasn’t being straightforward in his first election in 2008. He’s also saying that now his term is almost up and that he won’t be running again, he can tell the truth all he wants to.

I know he didn’t exactly admit that he was born in Kenya or that his election was a voter fraud but this is what he is almost trying to say a little bit. You can tell that he’s real nervous when he said that ’cause of all the stuttering in his speech and stuff.

Obama continues to blame Republicans and Congress for ignoring his request on Immigration Reform and Obama keeps doing speeches, fundraisers, hanging out at bars, playing pool, playing golf, going on vacations, etc. Instead of checking out the things going on at the border he continues to bullshit around.

Funny how Obama continues to hate on Republicans yet he names Lincoln as one of his favorite presidents who was a Republican.

Man, I wish George W. Bush was still president… he would have visited the border like a true patriot.

Congress has every right to tell Obama to fuck off with his immigration shit. They did a good thing not listening to him.
