If you want to live a happy and positive life, don’t care what others think about you…

These days, I believe people are getting a lot worse when it comes to drama, people saying mean things to others, judging others and criticizing others. The last thing you want to do is listen to other people and you don’t want to care what they think either. Yeah, I still get plenty of people thinking it’s okay to be nasty to me whenever they want to. They think think they can judge me and criticize me all they want to. Say all kinds of things about me that isn’t true and spreading rumors. All that garbage.

Ya know, not everybody says mean things to me and attacks me all the time. Some of the haters out there like to try to make me believe that no one likes me and hated by a lot of people which is also bulllshit. I do have a fanbase and supporters which I am grateful for. I do get people saying positive things about me and do have great people who treat me good too. I do have people who enjoy my music, guitar playing, they like my original songs and covers. I do have people who enjoy my blogging and social networking. I believe I’m a good guy and I’m very good to people. I do like good friends and good people. I’m just one of those types that if you treat me good, I’ll treat you good in return. If you don’t treat me good then I’ll treat you the same way.

I don’t really give a shit if people don’t like who I am. I’m just being me and that’s all there is to it.

Thank god for music, bodybuilding, yoga and boxing. All that stuff I do is what keeps me strong and keeps me positive. Helps keeps me stress free. Makes me happier. That stuff I do, helps keep me above the negativity in life. I don’t have time for childish bullshit with people anymore. Thanks to people like Donald Trump and the Ultimate Warrior who inspired me on life.

There are too many people out there who thinks it’s okay to tell me how they want me to be but it isn’t gonna happen. I’m not gonna change for anyone. I’ll always be myself no matter what anyone thinks. If people don’t like how I am online, that’s okay. That’s their problem. I always get a lot of complainers and whiners about how I am online but that’s okay. Just keep being yourself. That’s how you get more people to like you and respect you ’cause the more you don’t give a shit, the more people will catch on and they will believe in you.

Negative people & haters who continue to follow my blog and everything I do…

Ya know something, I don’t know why my internet web presence attracts a lot of negative people. In other words: haters, trolls and cyberbullies. I’ve always had gotten a lot of them and still do. I just do my best to ignore them all these days. That’s all I gotta do, ya know?

This is not what I do this for. I don’t do what I do to attract negative people and get more attention. Not my goal. These people are just a bunch of bored losers with nothing better to do. Yeah I know I get made fun of easily but I don’t give a shit.

People are starting to reply to my blog with negative bullcrap. I think it’s pretty much because that Donald Trump is gonna win the presidency. It’s pissing them off. They’re fuming. So they take their anger out at me ’cause they know Trump is gonna win. I think that’s what it is.

Anyway, while it’s pretty sad that so many people who don’t like me continue to follow my stuff online, that’s okay with me. I don’t do this to make friends and don’t do this to please everyone. So I just write what I want and say to hell with everyone. There are certain people out there who think they can control how I think or what to say online. People’s been doing this to me for years. If they don’t like what I say or get all offended, they’ll point it out to me.

Well guess what, y’all? I don’t give a flying fuck! If you don’t like me or what I write, why do they continue to follow? It’s bullshit. People are messed up like that. I think they continue to follow me ’cause they don’t want to admit that they enjoy what I do and it’s killing them. They’ll never admit it. They want more from me and they’re addicted to my writing.

It does bother me that negative people and bullies continue to follow what I do but that’s okay. I’ve been accused of being a “negative” person all the time but the more these losers continue to do what they do the more it proves my point that the haters are the ones who are negative. They are the ones who are way more negative than me. I don’t have time for negativity ’cause I’m better than that.

When stupid liberals want to debate with me or call me out on stuff the only thing they got is to call me a racist or a bigot which I’m neither of those. Liberals call people those names ’cause that’s all they pretty much got in order to silence those with a different opinion and thought. It’s the only way they could win a debate so they resort to namecalling and swearing. That’s the way stupid libtards act these days. That’s the only thing they got is calling people racist or bigot or whatever. They are brainwashed by the liberal media or social networking groups who taught them to be that way.

I don’t care about negativity ’cause I’m all done with it. Mostly these trolls and negative people supported Bernie so I’m not worried about them anyways.

Just purchased and downloaded 5 albums from Itunes today!!!

I haven’t purchased more albums for myself in a while so I decided to download some albums from Itunes today. I got 5 of them and here they are

The albums I got today were:

The Pretty Reckless – “Who You Selling For” (I’m a big fan of the Pretty Reckless. Their new album so far sounds pretty damn good so I got my own copy)
Joe Bonamassa – “Blues of Desperation” (I’m a big Joe Bonamassa fan. Been wanting to get his new album for a while so I finally got it)
The Crow – “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” (I hardly ever get movie soundtracks that much but “The Crow” soundtrack is great. Used to have it on physical CD a long time ago but lost it so I got it again. Watched this movie on BluRay last week, reminded me how good the soundtrack was)
Steve Vai – “The Ultra Zone” (Just started getting into Steve Vai music more so I bought one of his older albums)
Phish – “Big Boat” (I’m a big Phish fan so I got their new album that just came out. Yeah, I love Phish. Don’t care what the haters think)

I love buying music albums a lot ’cause that’s who I am, a music lover. I love supporting music and supporting artists. I’m not ashamed of it either. It’s what I do and it’s a part of me. I’d be nothing with no music in my life.

Is getting drunk a huge problem? Is it overrated these days???? I say yes…

In the past if someone finds out you have a drinking problem, you need help and need to go to AA. In today’s society, people act like getting drunk all the time is like the coolest thing. No offense to those out there who drink all the time but I’m just gonna be real here. I’m noticing that alcoholism is becoming a real problem with everyone these days. Everywhere you look and everywhere you turn, chances are, you’re going to see someone drunk. It seems like all people want to do is drink these days. There are alcoholics everywhere. It makes you wonder why there are so many bars & clubs all over your town. Makes you wonder why there are so many beverage centers all over town too. These days it seems like all people want to do is drink all day, everyday and all night.

Don’t get me wrong. I like to drink myself and have a few but I don’t drink all the time. Just once in a blue moon is fine for me. I used to drink occasionally in the past though. I was never an alcoholic but it seems like everyone you know these days are one. What is it that made people think that getting drunk all the time is a “good” thing? I certainly blame all these beer commercials on TV for sure, they are responsible. Also, movies and TV shows.

You see people through social networking like FB/twitter and all they seem to want to do is get drunk all the time. To me, getting drunk all the time is not cool. Just my opinion. I’d much rather live my life a sober and healthy lifestyle. When you prefer not to drink, people look at you like you’re stupid. Alcoholism is definitely not cool ’cause it can cause you a lot of problems. When you call people out on their drinking problems, they become immediately defensive.

I understand you just want to have a buzz, relax and have fun but you can still relax and have fun in a sober lifestyle. How about get yourself into working out and exercise? Like bodybuilding, yoga, boxing or any kind of style of workout like zumba or whatever. Go out for a long walk or a long bike ride. Things like that. If you want to have a blast and have a helluva fun time, you don’t need to get drunk to do so. There are plenty of things to do so you can have fun and not drink alcohol.

I got really drunk during the EBJ Throwdown fest (kept drinking everything I could get my hands on) and kind of wished I never did that so I won’t be getting drunk like that again for a long while.

In my opinion, getting drunk is stupid and foolish. If you want to do it, fine. Not for me. I can still have fun, smile and not get drunk. Drinking is definitely overrated and it’s a growing problem. Don’t deny it, y’all.

I don’t want to spend all my money on alcohol. I would rather spend my money on good things like music albums, movies on BluRay, video games, buy books, buy music equipment and gear/more guitars. Things like that. That’s better than wasting money on alcohol and cigarettes like so many has been doing these days.

Looks like I’m gonna have to buy a new Ipad soon…

So the new IOS 10 is out now but I can’t update to it ’cause the old Ipad 2 is not compatible with IOS 10. Sucks. Looks I’m gonna have to upgrade to one of the new Ipads that just came out. I’ve had this Ipad 2 for a good 5 years now and I think it’s time for something new.

It’s the same thing with the old Ipod Touch – 4th Generation, I can’t update the new IOS’s to that either so looks like I’m gonna have to buy a new Ipad and a new Ipod Touch soon. I will.

For the Ipad, I’ll probably end up getting the Ipad Mini 4 and will get the 128 GB version so I can have all kinds of disk space.

For the Ipod Touch, I’ll get the 6th Generation (64 GB)… plenty of disk space so I can have all kinds of albums on there:

I’ll start saving for both of these next year in the beginning of 2017. For now, I want to start getting some tattoos which I’ve been contemplating for a long time now.

So some of you may ask, how am I making more cash for myself more quickly? Well yes, I’m working a part time job so that could explain it. I only work a couple of days a week for now but hey, it’s a job and I’m finally making extra cash for myself which feels so good. It’s still hard getting a job these days so I’ll take it.

I’ll buy a new Ipad and new Ipod Touch sometime next year in 2017.

I don’t get why people call me the press… I’m not a journalist, just a bored blogger wanting to write!

I’m starting to get this a lot. People calling me the press. I sometimes get called a journalist or a news reporter or whatever but I’m not really that at all. All I am is just a bored blogger who loves to write and that’s it! I blog ’cause I need a place where I can publicly speak my mind however I damn well please. That’s what a blog is for, right? Maybe people are confused is ’cause I talk about the “news” a lot and I do a lot of reviews on things… maybe that’s why people call me a “journalist”. I’m not a journalist or a news reporter. Just a guy who wants to give my opinions and thoughts on things in the news. Things that’s going on in the world today and give my “truth” to it. That’s all I do really. I’m no reporter or journalist and I feel weird when people call me that. I didn’t go to college for any of that stuff.

I guess people calling me a journalist would be considered a compliment, though. I blog as a way to get something off my mind and to get things off of my system when I need to rant about things.

I got inspired to start a blog years ago ’cause I got censored so much in other blogs and forums like when I post in other message boards, I would get banned so much so I said, fuck those losers… I’m starting my own blog. My own blog is my own freedom of speech… so people can’t censor me here. That’s how I got into blogging pretty much. Since then my blog has gotten somewhat “popular”. I’m no TMZ yet but that’s okay. I just blog just for fun. I don’t do it for money. I don’t get paid for doing this at all. There are also no other contributors or guest columnists on here. There’s only one person that runs this blog and it is me. Although, I have thought about inviting other columnists and guest writers. I really did thought about that but I’m doing fine on my own. I just write as if I’m talking to you in the real world so the writing and grammar isn’t gonna be 100% perfect. My site isn’t being run by editors or handlers or any of that garbage. It’s all me. I don’t have managers or staff either.

I blog ’cause writing is something I like to do. It’s just as simple as that.

If I ever make my first album should I release it on physical CD? I probably should!

If I ever release my first official album, I thought about making it an online release only but should I release it on physical CD as well??? I really really should. If I ever released my first album on a real CD with a real cover and all that stuff, it would probably go for a limited run and that’s it. Maybe 500 copies would be good enough. I’m sure I can find some affordable CD duplication/manufacturing online that presses albums pretty cheap like maybe 500 copies for $800 or something like that would be good enough. It ain’t like my music is gonna sell big anyway ’cause I’m not a best selling recording artist yet. I’d like to release my first album for physical CD to pass out to friends, family and fans. Yes, I have actual fans who really do love my music which is pretty cool and means a lot. That’s pretty much why I’m dying to make my first album for them.

I know making a real album will cost some but I can find ways to make an album that would be cheaper and won’t be all that high pricing. I really would like to make an album at some point but first I gotta start writing some new originals which I haven’t yet. I’ve been focused on improving my guitar playing still.

I do want to make my first album with decent enough sound quality. Should I record my album at home or in an actual studio? If I were to record my first record in a studio, I’d probably do it at Don Fury studios in Troy. I hear he has affordable rates and his studio recording is all real. No digital bullshit and it’s all analog. If I make my first acoustic album, I could get a great sound out of that guy.

It’ll probably cost me a little over a thousand dollars to make an album but it’ll be worth it. I’d like to work a full time job hopefully and start saving up for all this stuff. I should make an album on CD, I really want to.

I refuse to do Kickastarter and that Pledgemusic bullshit. I would rather make the album from the money I make out of my own pocket and not from other people. I’ve always believed Kickstarter and Pledgemusic are the evils of the music industry and I vow to stay away from them.

An album by me would happen at some point. If I did an album what would be on it? I thought about making just an acoustic album but then I figure, nah. I would like to form a band and make an in-your-face rock n’ roll record with strong riffs and guitar solos.

Gonna get tattoos of my own very soon, I think…

For many years I’ve contemplated getting tattoos of my own ’cause I’ve always loved tattoo art. I’ve never gotten my first tattoo ’cause I’ve always been scared of the pain and the reaction I would get from people by having tattoos but I really want that look. What would I get tattoos of? Mostly music related stuff probably. Tattoos of my favorite bands and artists. My first tattoo I’m planning on getting are the 4 Led Zeppelin symbols for my upper right forearm. I plan on covering my right arm with Led Zep tattoo designs. First I’m gonna go for the Led Zep symbols then the Led Zep hermit, then the Led Zep swan song and I might have Led Zep lyrics tattooed on my right arm somewhere too. Show my Led Zeppelin fandom.

I will get tattoos of some of my other favorite bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath and others. I’d also like to get a tattoo of an American flag (so I can show that I love the USA) and have a guitar tattooed on my back sometime in the future.

With that being said, I’ve always wanted to get tattoos and I think I’m gonna bite the bullet and actually go for it. Hopefully this month. I’m planning to set something up soon with a tattoo artist. It’s gonna really happen I think and when it does, I’ll post photos and shit. I’m gonna go for that look.

I know you have to choose your tattoos wisely ’cause they last a lifetime so you have to pick things that you like a lot or things that mean a lot to you. I know a lot of people aren’t responsible picking tattoos ’cause they regret ’em later. I’m gonna be careful with the ones that I choose. I’ve been talking about it and thinking about it so I’m thinking of definitely going for it. The pain probably won’t be all that bad but even if it does hurt, I’m gonna brave it anyway. I kind of want that rock & metal look. I wanna look cool with the guitar. \m/

Just bought 6 albums from Itunes today…

Today I purchased and downloaded 6 albums from Itunes store. Here are the albums I just got for my Ipod Touch:

– Steve Vai: “Modern Primitive” & “Passion & Warfare” (25th Anniversary Edition)
– Iron Maiden: “Fear of the Dark”
– Megadeth “Rust In Peace” & “Peace Sells But Who’s Buying”
– Metallica: “Black Album”

I don’t listen to Steve Vai much at all but the only album I’ve heard of his was “Passion & Warfare” which is a classic album so I got the 25th Anniversary Edition along with Vai’s brand new album, “Modern Primitive”. I bought those two albums ’cause I’ve read Vai’s interview in this months Guitar World with him on the cover. Reading that great and insightful interview made me want to get these two albums. I was never much of a Steve Vai fan but I should listen to him more, though and I’m trying.

I love Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Metallica. Iron Maiden’s “Fear of the Dark” is one of my favorite albums they’ve done and always wanted my own copy. I also always wanted Megadeth’s two classic albums “Rust In Peace” and “Peace Sells” which both albums are masterpieces, finally got my own copy of those. As for Metallica’s “Black Album”, I used to have that album on physical CD but lost it so I re-bought it digitally.

I listen to all sorts of music but I mostly listen to rock, prog rock & metal as you can see. A lot of people are against buying music from Itunes but I don’t really mind. I actually prefer to buy music digitally than buying them on physical CD these days. I’ll have another blog post on that another time.

Just figured out why my PS4 internet connection has been so slow lately…

Ever since I got my new PS4, I’ve been having internet connection problems on it. I just figured out why finally. I think the PS4 was made to stand vertically, not horizontally. That’s why the connection was so slow ’cause I had the PS4 sitting horizontally. I think the PS4 likes it better standing vertically on your TV stand. So I stood the PS4 up vertically and my connection speed went way up.

Now downloads seem to be going faster. All of my streaming services like Playstation Video, Netflix and WWE Network seems to be working perfectly. For a long while I contemplated cancelling WWE Network ’cause of freezing and buffering problems but I don’t have to now. WWE Network works fine with no problems at all it seems like so I’m good. I’ll also be able to play games online with no problem.

Keep in mind that I’m pretty new to the PS4 so it’s still gonna take me a while to get used to.

I’m loving the PS4, though. Someday I’ll buy a vertical PS4 stand so I can keep it safe and not get it knocked over. Next time I go to Best Buy I’ll see if they have a vertical stand for it.

I just bought a TV show from the Playstation Store which is “Ash vs. Evil Dead – Season 1” which I will start watching this week. I’m a huge Evil Dead fan and always wanted to check that show out.
