Youtube has really gone downhill… wtf???

I’m really starting to lose my appreciation for youtube. The popular video site has really gone downhill ever since google bought it. I liked youtube better before. Reasons why youtube has gone to shit???

  • Their new youtube awards is silly
  • They’re planning a paid music subscription service
  • VEVO music videos pretty much sucks
  • Being forced to watch advertisements before a video you want to watch
  • They’re getting tough on copyright so musicians will no longer be able to perform cover songs
  • It’s getting harder to send private messages to other youtube channels if you want to write somebody something.

I’m sure there’s more but you get the deal here, right?

I don’t use youtube that much to upload videos to. I’m thinking about going to a different video site. Vimeo maybe? I’ll probably continue to use youtube to upload my homemade videos but I probably won’t upload cover songs anymore to avoid getting a third party notice in your inbox from youtube.

Youtube is pretty much garbage now.

There’s only very few channels of other youtubers that I like to follow. I may have subscribed to a lot of channels but I don’t watch through all of them.

Youtube used to be a cool site before google bought it, though.

My scary movie marathon last night for Halloween…

Yes, I did my horror film marathon last night as I said I was gonna do. Started it about 3:00 in the afternoon and ended it at sometime around midnight. I usually don’t watch this many hours of movies but it’s good to do once in a blue moon. It’s a good way to celebrate Halloween.

Movies I watched last night:

Evil Dead 1 and 2 (the originals w/Bruce Campbell)
The Omen (original w/Gregory Peck)
Halloween (original directed by Carpenter)
The Mothman Prophecies

I could have gone all night watching horror films but I ended up getting sleepy around midnight. So after I finished watching “The Mothman Prophecies” (which is a great film by the way, you should check it out, starring Richard Gere)… I stopped and went to bed.

I am not a night owl anymore. I don’t stay up all night like a lot of young people do. I’m used to getting full 8 hours of sleep each night these days. It’s a sign of me getting older… I’m not a kid anymore.

Later tonight, I plan to start watching “Sons of Anarchy – Season 5” on Netflix or watch the last of “Dexter” now that show is on Netflix too.
Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween!

Happy Halloween, folks!!!

Stay safe and be good!

I’m not doing a whole lot today.

Later today, I’m planning to start a horror movie marathon starting  at 5 and will go on for the rest of the night. I always do a scary movie marathon every year for Halloween! I’m planning to watch all 4 Evil Dead movies, the original Halloween, the original Texas Chainsaw, the Exorcist and whatever movie I can think of.

Enjoy!

Inspirational quote from Lou Reed…

“Who cares? I never wrote for them then, I don’t write for them now. I have no interest in what they have to say about anything. I’m interested in whether I like it. I write for me.” – Lou Reed, in response to negative criticism toward his album, “Lulu” (quote stolen from an interview)

Lou’s got it right.

This is what music should be about. Making music for you and not anybody else. Music shouldn’t be about pleasing everyone.

There’s nothing wrong with liking your own music. As long as you’re proud of your music and enjoy your songs… that’s all that should matter.

If too many people hate your music, screw ’em. It’s not the end of the world. Just play music ’cause you like it… it’s just as simple as that. Don’t let the haters win.

Why partying in costume for Halloween is lame…

Welp, Halloween is just around the corner… and I wanted to say something about Halloween that I gotta get off my chest.

This is the time where local bands will have Halloween costume parties at gigs and people will have costume house parties all over your city. I think celebrating Halloween in that way is pretty lame. Especially for an adult if you’re in your 30’s and up. It’s okay to celebrate Halloween in costume for the kids but when you’re an adult… there’s something wrong there. I hardly ever celebrate Halloween in costume as an adult. I did it like once… last year for an EBJ show when I dressed up as a zombie and I don’t celebrate Halloween in costume too much anymore. I think it’s pretty silly when adults do it and I don’t think I’d do it again. Plus, I always have trouble trying to find out what to be for Halloween and always suck at costumes. I find it pretty ridiculous that so many people would spend so much money on expensive costumes. People really get into this stuff, hey?

Well… I would rather celebrate Halloween watching horror films!!! Which is what I’ve been doing.

Just the other night, I just watched the new, “V/H/S/ 2” which I will talk about in another post. This Friday night, I’ll be getting the new “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” film (the new 2013 film, not the Tobe Hooper version) that just came out earlier this year from Netflix DVD which I will watch this weekend.

On Netflix streaming, I watched the first “Ghostbusters”, “Elvira: Mistress of the Dark” and “Poltergeist III”.

Watching scary movies is the best way to celebrate Halloween, in my opinion. Most of you know that horror films is my favorite genre. I grew up on horror fiction.

Speaking of horror films, I gotta do my Top Horror Film list at some point here… I’ll get it done this weekend.

Cool Video: “It sucks being shy…”

In this video, the guy you see is another online dating coach and he calls himself, the Player Supreme… he’s another youtube dating coach who is a favorite of mine and I find myself being addicted to his videos. In this video, he talks about how it sucks being shy… he used to be shy himself but he learned to grow out of it as he got older. He also gives good advice that we should join clubs around town and speaking events that’ll help overcome shyness.

Yes, I’ll admit that it sucks being kind of shy/quiet and I gotta grow out of it myself. I gotta stop blaming women as to why I’m still single when I should really be blaming myself that I’m still single. I may talk a lot on the computer but in person I talk very little. I gotta learn how to talk to people like I do on here. I’m usually very talkative to people I know very well but when it comes to complete strangers… I can be difficult to be around. I gotta get used to meeting new people and become a part of this world.

I guess another secret to picking up women is meeting a lot of people. Once women see that you’re not shy, they’ll be interested in you.

I get all kinds of people asking me why I’m so quiet all the time. It’s just who I am but I don’t wanna be that quiet person anymore.

Check out thePlayerSupreme’s channel. He gives the best dating advice, in my opinion. He can get very tough and real. He has an interesting way of words.

Cool Video: Jad T. Jones, “How to deal with your insecurities”…

I have many insecurities. Not just my scoliosis and my curvy body… but I have more which I don’t wanna get into. Like I said before, I worry that women weren’t going to appreciate the way my body is but thanks to this guy… this dude makes me not want to worry about that stuff anymore. Like this guy said… no matter who you are, what you look like, what race you’re in, how much money you have, etc…. anybody can be successful with women. I mean, I have seen bald men and overweight men… who were successful with women myself. I have even seen men with different physical disabilities be successful with them. I have been told by some people that I can’t get women ’cause I’m not good looking enough or don’t have a good enough job. All that is just a bunch of bullshit.

A hot and gorgeous looking woman will date any guy of any type as long as you’re confident and know how to treat them.

This guy is making me want to go out there and meet some women. Next time I go out to the gym, the mall or the grocery store… I’ll try to chat up with her. I’ll try to talk to any random woman I don’t know and see what happens. I’ll keep the conversation casual for now as a way to build up my confidence around them. I won’t meet women at bars or clubs, I don’t think. I think the gym might be the best place ’cause that’ll be the place where you’ll meet a woman who is healthy, eats clean, takes care of herself, and doesn’t drink/smoke. I see nice looking women workout at the Y in Greenwich all the time and I see men there chat up with them at the gym so it shouldn’t be a problem. As long as you don’t interrupt the ladies workouts at the gym, they’ll be willing to chat with ya in between their sets. Maybe compliment their workouts and maybe ask her to teach me some workouts… say something like, “Hey, that’s an impressive workout, can you teach me how to do it?”. That’s an idea… I’ll try to give it a shot!

Cool Video: A great video by Jad T. Jones!!!

Here’s another great video by Jad T. Jones. He’s just warning you to watch out who you take advice from other online dating coaches and dating gurus that are all over youtube. I agree. I watched a lot of dating stuff on youtube and like I said once before — some of their advice is good stuff and some of it’s bullshit.

What I like the most about this video is that I like how he says that any type of man can get girls. It doesn’t matter if you’re shy/quiet, loud/talkative, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re good looking or not or if you have disabilities… any man can get women. You just have to know how to talk to women and do it right. It doesn’t matter who you are, you can get women.

I think the reason that I am kind of shy around women is ’cause of my scoliosis. I didn’t know how women would react to that but now I’m thinking that shouldn’t be a problem. I can go out there and get myself a nice woman with great legs, boobs, and ass anytime I wanted!

Check out Jad’s channel and watch some of his videos. It’s inspirational stuff. This is one of the very few youtube channels that I’m addicted to. I can’t stop watching his videos.

More on picking up women…

Welp, after going through more dating “how to” videos in youtube, I guess pretty much all of them are saying that the only way to approach a woman you like is just one simple word: confidence. Like I said before, there is no other way around it. I really got to work on that and I’ve also gotta work on my social skills. My goal is to learn how to talk more. People are always saying how I’m a quiet and shy person but admittedly I am. I gotta work on my speaking skills ’cause I know that one thing women love to do is “talk”, “talk”, “talk”. You know how that a lot of women out there enjoy talking way too much ’cause that’s pretty much all they do. I gotta stop being a quiet idiot and learn to be more outgoing. I’m trying, and practicing.

Another secret I learned to hook up with women is that I need to learn how to be the “alpha male” which means dominance. You need to be dominant and have complete control over her. It’s all about the art of body language and how you speak to her. Stuff like that. Instead of asking and being weak… you need to step up and tell her right away that you like her and stuff… who knows how she may respond.

Giving her nice compliments. Make her smile, be cool, make her laugh, and keep it playful. Try not to be the “pick up artist” and be real. If she rejects you and if she’s not interested, move along to the next girl — there’s nothing to see there.

I used to think the dating world is hard and difficult but after heavy research of dating through youtube, google, and even books… I’m beginning to think that women might be pretty easy.

Do women worry about money and looks like I mistakenly kept saying in the past? From what I learned, no. I learned that they don’t care to go on expensive dates and they don’t care to get expensive gifts, and stuff… they just want to be normal and spend time with you. Your first dates with her should be inexpensive and normal something like a coffee date, a walk through the park… things like that. Going to the movies aren’t good for a first date ’cause the reason is, that takes too much time from talking to her and getting to know her. Movies are great for dates but you don’t want to go to the movies with her in the beginning. The goal is to talk to her on a first date.

I also learned that not all women are the same. Do women want sex? Even though they try to hide it, you know they all do. You know that’s what a lot of them want. However, there will be some women who will be open about wanting sex and enjoying it. Some will think sex is no big deal and some will want more time before they do it. Some will even wait ’til after marriage. All women are different. It all depends on the woman.

Yes, you will come across a lot of bad women as well. The ones you want to stay away from are the sluts, skanks, gold diggers, drug addicts, controlling women, users, etc. You will run into some of those. The trick is to weed out the bad ones until you find the good one.

Yeah, I want to get laid but only to the right one. I don’t sleep with random women. I don’t want to be the single Dad who banged a chick I don’t know well so I’m being careful with myself, ya know? It’s better to sleep with women you know well enough, can trust, and truly love. I’m not only about the sex like other guys are. Just to be clear — I’m not the wait until after marriage type. I’m the relationship type of guy myself. Yes, I’m a musician and love women but I won’t take random women home after gigs and at parties and stuff. Not my thing.

I know you guys out there probably know all this stuff already but I’m just saying the stuff of what I learned. Learning about women is fun and interesting. Now that I know all the stuff and know what to do… I gotta actually do these things and try ’em myself. I gotta stop talking about ’em on here and actually try them. Approaching women and hoping to get a date with one.

I’m 36 now. Turning 37 soon in Dec. Gotta do something before I get any older. I wanna settle myself in with a nice woman before I hit 40… NOT after. I learned that I could get any type of woman I want. Any type of man, no matter the looks or how much money he has can get a hot woman. It’s not about the looks and money… it’s how you talk to women. Learn how to talk to women with confidence you can get any hot woman with a great body and beautiful face. I don’t really care to get a hot woman but it would be nice.

I try not to talk about myself publicly like this but I do it just to let people know that I’m trying to improve myself in life. I’m not perfect but I am trying to better myself if I want to be successful. I don’t want to be a single bum for the rest of my life, that’s for sure.
