You should check out, Jad T. Jones’s website: http://www.how2getagirlfriend.org.

For those single guys out there struggling to get women…

This guy is the only dating coach on the internet you should be taking advice from. He’s really good and seems to know what he’s talking about. I bet this dude gets a lot of ladies! HA!

I’ll publicly confess that I didn’t have much dating experience. I dated a few women throughout my life but nothing good came out of them. I’ve also had plenty of occasions where women seemed to be interested in talking to me but admittedly, I never went for her — out of fear of women. I’ve also had plenty of crushes on women over the years who had no love for me in return… partly because it was my fault ’cause I never knew much about the dating scene in my life. I think the reason is that I never really had anyone in my life teach me how to pick up women. I am learning about women now and trying to understand them.

I am learning that getting a girlfriend won’t fall in your lap. You have to do the work and it’s your responsibility to get her yourself.

You know how when I talk about how I dance with women and talk to them at wedding parties and at band shows? Well, that’s just me trying to work on my confidence with them. Just practicing my social skills with women and trying to understand them.

I just read Jad’s 35 page free Ebook on how to get a girlfriend on his website, and it certainly woke me up on a lot of things. I’ll definitely try his method on dating. His free Ebook is recommended reading too.

I like how he says it’s okay to talk to any woman you want. I like how he says it’s okay to tell her she’s hot, gorgeous or beautiful right away and I like how he says it’s okay to ask her out right away. That’s another problem I had with the dating scene. I’ve been friends with women before but never had the guts to ask any of them out. He said the secret to getting the woman you want is that you talk to as many women as possible and he said about 7 of them won’t be interested and maybe like 1 or 2 women will be interested. That’s the deal here… meet as many women as you possibly can until you find the one who will actually like you.

I gotta knock it off and grow up! I can go out there in town right now if I wanted and try to talk to as many women as possible. It shouldn’t be that hard to get a girl at all and this guy is making it seem real easy! Some say I can’t get a hot and beautiful woman? Watch me prove you wrong. 😉

Some of you may ask… how does the Brock do it? How does he make his web presence online so recognizable and well-known? I get these questions sometimes. I’m about to explain how. Some would accuse me of craving for attention but that is pretty much not true. I think the secret to making your online web-presence recognizable and popular is… there is no secret. Just being yourself is all that matters. With your online web presence — whether it will be your blog, twitter, facebook, etc. — if you simply be yourself, people will be interested in you and will follow everything you do. Why do people follow me online?

Well for a number of reasons… my online web presence has always had a mixed reaction. You either love me or hate me. I’ve always had both supportive fans and haters.

People probably follow me for these simple reasons:

• They find my rants entertaining as hell
• They appreciate my honesty
• Some like to make fun of me and laugh at the things I say (that’s what the haters do)

Some like to mistakenly think that I like to be negative and offensive intentionally just to get more attention for myself and boost my ego. Not true either. You see, I’m the type of guy who likes to speak my mind. If there’s something on my mind… I’m gonna say it. I can never tell if I am being negative and offensive or not… I usually let the people tell me that stuff. People usually let me know if I’m going way out of line. Make no mistake about it, though… I don’t think I’m right on everything I say or do. I will admit that I’m wrong on things and I regret some of the stuff I said in the past but for the most part, I usually never back down on my honesty. If I have an honest opinion on something… I usually stick it with it no matter how many people get pissed off. Once in a while, I will apologize for being offensive on certain things but it rarely happens.

I just can’t help it. What I am online. I’m just trying to be me, ya know? A lot of people online are afraid to be themselves. I’m not.

The things I do online… I’m just trying to keep people entertained as best as possible. I try to inspire people and entertain them with my thoughts on different topics like movies, music, fitness, politics, etc. The things I say online were never meant to be offensive, they were meant to entertain others so if you don’t take my writing seriously, you would enjoy it more. I don’t do this for myself at all. My goal has always been that I wanted people to look at the reality side of things and I think my goal is working quite well. That’s why I continue to do what I do.

Of course, when people disagree with me and have different opinions on stuff… that’s when I sometimes get a public backlash on things like with my rants on controversial subjects like the President Obama stuff, gay marriage, and such as those. I really never back down on my opinions on things. Why should you? You shouldn’t have to change your opinion just because so many people get all over you, right? Does everything that comes out of your mouth have to please every single person? In this day and age with the way people communicate online, it seems so.

Anyway, I never saw how my online writing was negative or offensive. I try to write as polite and kind as possible. I try my best to keep things civilized. Like I said before if I get too offensive and out of line… I let the people let me know. So I’m definitely not innocent in everything.

As for my rants on the local music scene, same thing. When I rant about local music, those posts were never meant to put down the scene in a negative direction as some say. I’m only trying to help the music scene. Try to make it better. I’m trying to inspire other musicians around here to change and try to get better. Looking at their attitudes, their professionalism, their musicianship, etc. Musicians want to believe I’m trying to upset them but not really. I like to look after my fellow musicians around this area. I’m a big music fan and supporter of local musicians… I just want to see them get better ’cause I feel that a lot of them have no clue with music.

So to those looking to make your online web presence more recognizable and well-known. If you want more people reading your blogs, facebook, twitter. Just be yourself. That’s pretty much the only way. Make your online web presence more human. You don’t have to use the internet just to promote your musical projects and other things. If you be more human and let people know that you are alive and real, being yourself is the way to go. Reply to everyone who writes to you, be more personal to people, and see what happens from there.

Why do you think so many famous celebrities have well-known web presences like say Amanda Palmer, perfect example? Her web presence is big because she likes to be herself. The same with professional wrestler, The Ultimate Warrior. The same with that Star Trek guy, George Takei. Many other celebrities have recognizable web-presences.

I’m not as big as those people yet but I don’t care… I like what I do now. So thanks for reading both supporters and haters. It means a lot!

Jad T. Jones is good stuff. The dude seems to know what he’s talking about! This guy talks about how you should not be all creepy and just be normal when picking up women. If you be normal — all the time — then you will be more attractive to women and they will be all over you before you know it. I agree that trying to be the “pick up artist” and trying too hard seem to turn women off. I admittedly made those mistakes before. I’ll be sure to never do it again and follow this dude’s advice. Just treat her like a person and not a sex object.

Check out this dude’s channel, it’s entertaining stuff.

I respect this guy ’cause he seems to be one of the few dating coaches who gives out free advice on the internet.

Anybody can be great at picking up women… it doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like. You just gotta know what to do and do it right!

Kev

A lot of men like to blame women on how tough they make this dating thing. It’s not the women that are making the dating world tough… it’s us men that is the big problem. We just don’t know what to do and don’t know how to handle the women.

I’ve been watching a lot of youtube videos from different dating coaches who give you advice on dating and picking up women. I’ve been watching videos from both male and female dating coaches. Some of their advice is really good and helpful, they make it look easy — however, some of the dating advice is just a bunch of bullshit.

I guess, I’ll publicly confess that I am kind of shy around women but the confidence is getting worked on as you can clearly see. I’m talking to women a lot more these days and feeling more comfortable around them. They’re just people like us. If you don’t try so hard and treat them like people, you can get women to like you easily.  These are the things that I’ve learned, anyway. Confidence is key to getting a date with women — there’s no other way around it. I just gotta learn to have balls and just talk to her if I see a pretty looking girl that I think I’ll like. I am learning that women won’t bite. I am learning that a lot of them like being told they’re beautiful, hot or gorgeous. I tell them that stuff in facebook all of the time that she’s beautiful, hot or gorgeous — I just gotta work on telling her that stuff to her face, in person.

I’m getting older. Almost 40 and I think I’m ready to settle in with a nice lady at some point.

Some people mistakenly believe that I can’t get a beautiful and attractive woman but I disagree. I learned that beautiful women would date any guy as long as you make her feel that she’s beautiful and if she knows that you can be confident and all that stuff. As long as you know what to do on how to hook up with women… you can hook up to any woman you want. Treat her like a human being, anything is possible. Just don’t rush things, play it cool and all will be good! I learned that giving her nice compliments is a perfect way to get a conversation started with her. Don’t wanna be talking to her about yourself… you wanna learn more about her.

Anyway, I don’t care to get a hot and beautiful woman. They would be nice, I wouldn’t mind an attractive woman in my life but honestly, looks doesn’t really matter to me. I wouldn’t date an ugly woman but a normal looking woman is just fine for me. I just want a woman with a good personality. Somebody with similar interests and have things in common. Somebody to talk to.

I don’t think I’m that bad looking of a guy. I think I’m pretty decent looking and women seem to enjoy being around me, anyway, so that’s a sign that they might think I’m handsome looking after all!

I don’t think I’ll hook up with a woman from online. The goal is to have balls and find a woman in person; a little more locally in my area. Again, I think the bar/club scene is a terrible way to pick up women. There are other good places to meet women at like the gym, the library, the grocery store or anywhere in town. I want to meet a woman who isn’t drunk.

I’ll admit that I am terrible at the dating thing and gotta learn to do it better. If I have more confidence and know what to do, I could start dating women like crazy!

I wanna get married myself and have kids someday. It’s all about finding the right one for me.

I’ve had my Ibanez acoustic/electric guitar for the past several years now. I think it’s time for a new acoustic. New sound. Something different. I think I’m gonna go for a different guitar brand too. Thinking of going for Washburn, Takamine or Martin. Any of those acoustics. Maybe in the beginning of 2014, I think I’ll start saving for a new one. I’m thinking of going for a real acoustic. Not the ones with the built-in electronics on it. I don’t think I’ll order one from a catalog next time either. I’m probably gonna go get one from an actual guitar shop like Parkway ’cause it’s better buying guitars from the shop instead of catalogs. You can’t really trust getting musical gear from guitar catalogs. The goal is, I want to get a real acoustic tone for folk songs and finger style. My Ibanez acoustic/electric maybe great for a rock n’ roll sound but for folk music, not what I’m looking for.

There are pretty much no rules on commenting except the only rule is there is no bashing and negative responses to the blog owner of any kind. That blog owner is me. I really hate the kind of people who only reply to this site just to bash me, criticize me or make fun of me. Either way… the comments are gonna get deleted. I don’t even read ’em, I just quickly delete ’em. Every reply of yours don’t always have to be a negative and hateful response. It don’t hurt to be kind and fun. I delete them not because you think I can’t win an argument — I delete them simply because you’re an asshole.

I’ll explain once again that the reason I’m strict on moderating comments is ’cause I don’t deal with negative people. I eliminate negative people from my life… I don’t want to surround myself with people like that. I want to be around good people.

I’m the same way in facebook, youtube, twitter, and everywhere else I go online. Many of you know that I can’t stand trolls and haters. They’re everywhere and I’m just trying to get them to stay the hell away. I never understood the kind of people who would spend the last 4 or 5 years or more treating the same person in a negative direction. I never understood people who follows someone they don’t like. I never follow anyone I don’t like at all. If there are people I don’t like, they’re dead to me. I get them out of my life — they don’t exist. Don’t these people have a life? Don’t they have better things to do and better things to worry & care about? All some of these people do is focus on me and it’s quite sad really.

I know the reason they do it is ’cause some of these guys find what I do online is funny and entertaining to them. Not to laugh with me but at me, I totally get it. It’s just childish. Coming from people who are adults. Trolls are like bullies in high school… picking on kids ’cause they think it’s funny.

It don’t hurt to get into positive discussions like Steve and Craig does on here. Talk to me like you’re in a real conversation and it’ll be cool!

I try to keep my topics fun and entertaining on here. My rants maybe a bit negative and harsh but if you don’t take ’em seriously… they can be fun.

I’m trying to eliminate all trolls and negative people… I don’t care who. If I could I would shut off all commenting completely or I would block IP addresses so you won’t be able to come here at all. I’m thinking about moving to a different blog hosting site where it has better moderating controls.

Just play it cool, and be civil. It’ll all be good. Of course, some of you will never take this advice — you’ll continue to be a hateful little troll until the day you die. People like that need help. Usually when trolls bash me, they do it anonymously but make no mistake about it, I’m usually good and figuring out who you really are quickly just by your writing style. Anonymous trolls are usually people who I talked with before in social networking sites or have already met in person. Change as many screen names as you want, I’ll always find out who you are. Believe me, I’m not dumb as you think.

People who use this site to bash me are just wasting their time and life. Go find better things to do. Go to the library. Go watch a movie, play a video game or workout at the gym. There are better things to do in life.

I haven’t watched WWE RAW/Smackdown or any of the ppvs in months. It’s been almost a year now, I believe. There’s a few reasons why I gave up on WWE for good, I think…

1) I think I needed to grow out of it. Wrestling is for kids now and I couldn’t stand watching the shows at the age I’m in.

2) The current direction the WWE is in is not good. Bad writing, storylines and feuds have been too predictable these days.

3) I don’t really care for today’s superstars, the newer wrestlers.

I haven’t watched wrestling in a long time… no lie either. I read the RAW results online sometimes and I see things haven’t changed. The shows have gotten worse so I’m glad I gave it up.

I’ll always love and respect the wrestlers, though, especially the older guys like The Rock, Mick Foley, Stone Cold, Undertaker, HBK, and all the old school legends from the 80’s/90’s. Wrestling is not the same anymore. I really miss the old days ’cause the old days were great. I would think the best days of wrestling would be the 80’s and also the Attitude Era in the 90’s. A lot of people are disgusted with wrestling ’cause most of us want TV14 back. We don’t like this PG crap and I don’t either.

On Monday nights, I’ve been watching stuff on Netflix instead of wrestling. I still respect Vince McMahon and the business… I just wish Vince would give what the fans want ’cause he is pretty much all about himself with the wrestling business. All Vince cares about is ratings and money.

I have been a lifelong wrestling fan… yes, ever since I was a little child. I think it’s time to give it up. I’m thinking about getting rid of all my wrestling t-shirts as well… probably will.

As you can see I’m trying to change as I get older since I’m almost 40. I’ve gotten into poetry, gotten into reading political/history books, gotten into bodybuilding, health, and exercise, etc. Trying to grow out of all the kid stuff and get into being an adult for a change. Starting to change my hobbies and interests. I’ll always be a video gamer, though, that I’ll always do. The new GTA V is awesome so far!

Kev

I’m real tired of people being assholes every time certain people try to reply to this site. It isn’t that hard to keep things kind and civil, seriously. If you don’t like me then why do you continue to read and reply to me with asshole and negative comments??? I’m getting real tired of it. Thinking about turning off comments completely today and believe me, I’ll do it if I can figure it out. Get a life and grow up. Sad to see adults acting like children.

See that photo above that I just found doing a little more research on Ground Loop when recording audio? That’s what I need to do, plug everything into the same wall! After all this investigation… it ended up being so easy to figure out! Don’t you hate that? I’ll give this a try tomorrow. Plug everything into the same wall like you see here.

At Best Buy today, I picked up a powered USB hub and that didn’t solve anything! At least the USB hub costed around $5.00 so I’m not worried about wasting money on it. I’ll still keep this though ’cause it’ll be useful for other things.

On another note, I just picked up “Grand Theft Auto V” today (will start the game tonight) and picked up the new Stephen King book, “Doctor Sleep” on hardcover.

Just had to go shopping today to get out of the house and do something.

I think what I’m trying to say with my posts on “songwriting” is that I’m just trying to get local musicians to take guitar playing a little more seriously. I’m noticing that a lot of musicians around here don’t really take guitar playing seriously. Not enough passion and enjoyment in it. They just simply use the guitar as a vehicle for songwriting, that’s pretty much it, really. With my own music, I like to take my guitar playing seriously as you can probably tell. It is part of why my guitar playing is better than my vocals and why I always play pretty tight with my songs. With my guitar playing, I try to do more than just playing power chords and basic open position chords. I don’t just use the guitar as a vehicle for songwriting either, I like to play the “guitar”. I want my songs to be guitar playing songs. Songs with just good guitar playing. A lot of songwriters around here don’t really focus on the guitar… they focus on the “songwriting” part. Don’t get me wrong, the “songwriting” part is pretty important but you must take the guitar playing part more seriously too.

There are so many songwriters out there that don’t really know what they’re doing, they just throw random chords and riffs out there — try to put them together into a song. Just keep playing until they find stuff they like. Don’t just throw random stuff together. Learn how to play the guitar and play it good — you would be surprised of how much better your songs could be. If you want to call yourself a “musician”, then you gotta fucking become one, ya know? Learn how to play the damn instrument. Take passion and pride in it. Put your fucking heart and soul into it. Play the guitar like you mean it. Don’t just take a guitar pick and just start strumming. Take everything you play seriously. The rhythm parts, the riffs, and guitar solos. Everything.

If you feel that you aren’t as good of a guitar player you say you are, don’t be afraid to admit it and learn to improve. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself. Take your slow time. I’m not the best guitar player but I’m always trying to improve as you can tell. You can also tell that I try to make the guitar playing as good as possible in my original music.

I’m not trying to tell people how to create art… I’m only trying to tell them to make it better. A lot of musicians around here are not that confident with their guitar playing and they really must be. If you take guitar playing more seriously, it will make a difference in your songwriting. I know from my own experience. Taking time off from songwriting to learn better guitar was worth it for me. I still have a lot of learning to do but I’m getting there.

My next goal is to get really good with lead guitar and I’m still trying to improve that too. I want to become good at guitar solos so I can solo over my original songs. I never believed in choosing which one you want to be good at either rhythm or lead. A lot of guitarists make the mistake that you must be good at one of them when the reality is you should really be good at both… rhythm and lead.

I like music with great guitar playing. That’s what I enjoy listening to the most. I know good guitar playing when I hear it. I give the most respect to bands & artists who do take the guitar seriously. A lot of musicians don’t really see it and they’re pretty lazy with guitar playing but the guitar is a pretty important tool.

I’m still not a professionally skilled guitarist yet and no virtuoso but that is my dream. I’m trying to get there the best I can. I’m doing my best to become an actual, “musician”.
