A lot of people mistakenly believe that a man staying single for most of his life is sad, pathetic and wrong. They usually get picked on and laughed at by other people since they made a choice. You see it isn’t pathetic and wrong for a man living the single life. It’s actually a very good thing to do really. There are too many people out there who can’t live their life without sex but there are some that can survive without it. There is more to life than just sex and romance, all that stuff. You can actually be happy and find life very enjoyable being a loner, trust me on that. It’s your choice of how you want to live your life. You can settle in and get into a relationship at a late age. I think it’s actually better to settle in at a late age instead of rushing things at a young age. There are too many young people, in this day and age, getting into relationships, rushing to get married and stuff. I look at all this going on, and I’m like really? Why are there too many young people rushing into things? I sort of, blame that on TV and celebrity gossip that people obsess over and they follow along with it. That’s how mainstream media controls people.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve actually tried the relationship thing several times before in my life, but they never worked out. I have been friends with women before and they were just that, just friends. Nothing more.

I think it’s time for me to get a nice woman, sometime, hopefully in the near future. I think I’m ready for it now, before I get any older ’cause I’m gonna be 40 soon. The only thing though, is that’s it’s so tough to get somebody, these days. A lot of women out there seems to be pretty self centered people. All they seem to care about is the money, really. I mean, look who all the women are getting married to lately. Yes, that’s right. They seem to be marrying wealthy guys. Why? It’s so that women can live in a good home and expensive cars, so they can raise a family and have a good life. Divorces are on the rise too, and who are filing the divorce papers mostly? Yes that’s right, it’s the women, so they can get after the money. It’s a harsh reality that all women care about is a guy’s wealth, but it is what it is. Some couples are only together ’cause of the children only.

This is why this relationship and marriage stuff is pretty scary. Women would also only date guys for the good looks and for sex also.

I know not all women are shallow people, there will be one out there who will love you for you and actually care about you, she’s just hard to find. I guess the trick is, that you just need to stop looking if you don’t want to keep getting hurt. You will find the love of your life at some point, it’ll happen when it happens.

I don’t need people helping me to get a woman, this is something I need to do on my own, but I’ve had other people give me tips and advice. I’ve been told to respect her. Give her nice compliments and make her, smile, and happy a lot. Have fun conversations with her and be confident. Start off slow and build your way up. See how things go from there.

I’m looking for true love. A lot of you would never be able to see it but yes, I am capable enough of treating a woman like a queen and can make her a happy person. I can do it, I just need to find the right one. I guess I need to weed out all the bad ones until I find the one who actually cares. That’s the trick I guess.

I usually try not to talk about this relationship stuff on my blog but since Valentine’s Day is coming up around the corner, I figure I would do this and get it out of the way. So enjoy.

…simply put, I’m starting to get bored. I only post on this blog when I have something worthy to say or something to get off my chest. When I don’t feel like writing anything on here, it means I can’t think of anything to write. I even get writers block for this blog at times!

On top of that, I’ve been finding better things to do like playing my guitar, and other hobbies that I love to do like video gaming or reading or whatever.

I gotta couple of things to get off my chest later tonight, but for now, I’m going to play “Skyrim” for a little while, check out “House of Cards” on Netflix a little later.

I’ll be back on here late tonight.

I’ve been told by people for years now, that the only reason some follow my blogs or my music is ’cause they find me entertaining and funny to follow. Not because they find the stuff I do enjoyable, people follow me as a way to “make fun” of me. A lot of folks appear to follow me for laughs. They would read my blogs daily, keep hitting refresh all day, waiting for the next post to come up  (don’t lie, I know you all do this), waiting for me to say something stupid so they can make fun of it, all over the internet.

You know, this is all fine and good. I know my web presence can easily be made fun of, I don’t give a fuck. When you bash or make fun of me, that means you’re making fun of me as a person.

One thing you should think about though is, no matter the reaction of your web presence, whether people really support you or not, it means that you are successful at what you do. Whether you get a positive or negative reaction toward your web presence or your music, you are popular ’cause people responded to you. The trolls/haters don’t want to admit that they actually enjoy the stuff that you do, they follow you still ’cause you are addicting to them. As long as people are paying attention to you, positive or negative, you should be proud of that.

You would know that you’re not successful, when people don’t pay attention to you at all.

With that being said, I don’t really get upset at the mixed reactions, ’cause I’ve been saying for years now, I’ve been proud of it. People tell me stuff like, “Everyone only follows you to make fun of you”, as a way to put me down and upset me, when in reality, I’m not. I actually get kind of flattered when people tell me that stuff.

Treat me how you want to treat me. I don’t have any control of how people feel about me, free country, so people feel how they want to. I know I can’t please everyone and I know everything is not gonna be positive, even though I would like everything to be. There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve been made fun of and bullied by people throughout my entire life anyway, not just the internet. I know people make fun of me ’cause of my appearance, my personal problems, my looks, the way I speak, my writing style, my learning skill, disability, etc. My question is, what makes everyone else any better? Everyone has their own share of insecurities and problems, so what makes people think they’re better than me? I am, who I am. Just being myself. What you see, is what you get. I’m no different than everyone else. I’m not perfect and neither are you.

In my real life off the computer, I just want to be happy and enjoy life, the best I can. Yes, my life needs a lot of improvement and it maybe tough now, but I still find ways to keep me strong and happy. Like working out, playing my guitar, watching movies, reading books, etc. Those are things I do to keep me strong.

Back to the topic, as long as people are paying attention that’s all I care about. You just keep giving me more attention and more success. I like to speak my mind on the internet ’cause it’s a good way to get things off your chest and get things out of your system.

Kev

Edit to add:  I forgot to add something else, when people tell me these things, it does nothing but prove my point that people can be crazy and whacked. I may seem like a good guy but don’t let the nice guy fool ‘ya. Honestly, I can’t stand people in general and I’m sure you can’t blame me.

I’m going to say this just once. You don’t like me deleting comments or closing them? I don’t freakin’ care!!! You don’t like some of the topics I post, find some offensive or if you disagree with some topics? I don’t FREAKING CARE!!!! You guys can defend yourselves with your responses on politics or whatever on here, I will always stand by the things I say. I won’t retract things. My thoughts on President Obama will always stay the same. I’ve said it before and will say it again, I’m the type of blogger who doesn’t give a SHIT! I’m not afraid to speak my mind. I’m not afraid to get the truth out. No matter how many people gets pissed off or go crazy. What you don’t have the right to do is come here and tell me what is right or wrong to post.

And like I said, if you don’t like me or my site, why do you continue to read? I don’t allow trolls or haters here. They’re not welcome. They can talk shit about me else where,  but not here.

If I want to be negative, I will. If I want to go on an angry and hate-filled rant, I will.

But… as long as I’m getting people to respond, it’s letting me know that I’m doing the right things and people are paying attention. I started a blog years ago so I can have my own home online where I can speak my mind. I’m not afraid to speak my mind. As you can tell, I’m not afraid to say things that others are afraid to say. If it’s on my mind, it’s gonna be said.

As for my rants against President Obama, I’ll explain in another post, why I’ve been all over him. I’ll explain soon, so people can get a better understanding of where I’m coming from. I do this for a good reason, and why other anti-Obama people are all over him… but to keep it short and simple for now, we just want what’s best for this country, and we are believing that some folks has gotten the wrong idea about Obama and trusting the wrong man. We just want what’s best for the people. Trying to give people a reality check on who Obama really is, that they shouldn’t really be believing in. That’s all! Simple to understand, right? I guess I don’t have to do a long post about it now.

Back to my blogging, I don’t freakin’ care to get respect either. Love me or hate me, I’m good with either one. I know I can be disliked pretty easy, and that’s okay. I’m just being me ’cause there’s no crime in that, right? It’s actually a pretty good feeling to get mixed reactions with my web presence. I don’t have to please every single person out there, just to satisfy them.

Kev

Really, what is wrong with my posts? This blog just for fun discussion and to be opinionated on things. That is how my blogs have always been over the years. I like be a critic and be real about stuff. I like to give reviews on stuff. It’s pretty pointless for me to be blogging to begin with ’cause I really should be focusing on the music, which is what I’ll be mostly doing this year. It is why this blog is slowing down. Making 1 or 2 posts a day or a little more ’cause I spend most of my day on the guitar. If you want the comments posted or kept open, keep the discussions civilized. If you can’t do that, then find another blog to pick on. This is a troll free zone.

I had to remove that one post, ’cause after re-reading it a few times, I felt it was a bit silly, in my part. Admittedly. Although, my feelings toward that band that I was trying to call out haven’t changed. I just need to try and ignore them completely. That’s what you must do if you want a positive and happy life, ya know? Ignore all the immature bullshit completely ’cause that’s what those haters, trolls or whatever you want to call them do what they do ’cause they want to drive you crazy. They make fun of certain people ’cause they want to see you pissed off and they enjoy it when you call them out. They think it’s funny, period, end of story. The more you reply to them, the more they’ll torment you, ’cause they want to see you pissed off even more. The only way to eliminate these kind of people from your life is to act like they’re dead. Act like they don’t exist. Don’t care what anyone says about you and don’t reply to any of it. I try not to, though.

Chances are people are not going to stop picking on you. They’ll be obsessed with it for years. Even if they won’t stop when you do try to ignore them, continue to act like they don’t exist. Pretty much, they just want to get more attention off of you.

When bands & musicians get into this stuff, they’re either drunken alcoholics or on drugs, somewhat. What’s funny is that a lot of bands claim they don’t have time for this drama shit, either, but when they get into this online bullying stuff, what’s wrong with that picture?

I’ve been dealing with this stuff for years. If you’re getting too many haters, don’t let ’em bring ya down. Learn to stay above ’em.

Just keep being you, life is not about pleasing everyone. I don’t see why people feel the need to be negative, either, I hear ya’. Just don’t care about anybody and life would be great for ya. If you want to have a great music career, you have to ignore the haters, trolls, doubters or whatever, completely.

I’ve been wondering why this blog has been so quiet here! I’ve had the comments turned off by accident in the  blog postings. In the admin dashboard, I checked to see if the comments were checked to where everyone is allowed to post, but then I look at the actual blog post and and wordpress automatically leaves, the “Allow comments” option, unchecked, and now I have to check that option, every time I make a new post. Sorry about that. I went back to the closed topics and re-opened all the latest posts. This was by accident. I didn’t close comments ’cause of the haters and trolls. They’re still not allowed to post, ’cause I’ll just delete negative postings and send them to the spam folder. Feel free to go back to the older postings and post your thoughts on things.

I’m willing to bet that there are too many musicians out there that don’t even know music theory. Yes, even the well known and established musicians who play in bands, probably don’t know anything about music theory as well. I’ve been studying music theory pretty hard for many reasons. I think this is important for all musicians to learn. Music theory is actually a piece of cake. It’s not that hard to learn as you think it is.

Basically, the reason I want to learn music theory, is so it can help take my guitar playing to the next level. If I want my music to be taken seriously, I better learn music theory. Other musicians will respect you more if you know your shit. I want to be able to develop my own style in guitar playing, so in order to do that, I need to learn music theory. Where do all these great guitar rock riffs come from? Yes, that’s right. They come from scales, modes, arpeggios, etc. When you learn music theory, you’ll be able to know what appropriate scales to play over chord progressions. It will also take your songwriting skills to the next level. When you’re writing rhythm parts, you’ll be able to come up with better chords for your songs and what works, and what doesn’t. When you’re discussing music with other musicians, you’ll be able to understand what they’re saying when you know music theory and you won’t get lost. When you play in a band, you’ll be able to tell other musicians what to play easier. See what I mean? Music theory is everything in music.

When you master music theory and memorize it all, that’s when you have become an actual musician. These are part of the reasons why I’m learning music theory. Just want to become a better musician and become more professionally skilled. It’ll help make your songwriting better too, that’s the main thing.

I like learning music theory too. It’s easy stuff. I don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to learn music theory at a school, when you can learn this stuff for cheap. I’m really getting the hang of this music theory stuff. I figure if I want to play in a band, I really need to know this shit.

The final film I plan on seeing in theater that was released in 2012 will probably be “Les Miserables”. As soon as I see, “Les Miserables”, in theater, I will get right to work on the “Best Films of 2012” list, but I’m probably gonna do it in a videoblog so it can be more fun and get more attention.

I’ve written a huge list of movies I’ve seen of 2012, so I can pick the 15 best out of ’em. Surprisingly enough, I’ve seen mostly horror films this year. 2012, was the year for horror and I went and saw a lot of them. “The Devil Inside”, “The Possession”, “The Raven”, “Chernobyl Diaries”, “P. A. 4”, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”, etc. The only horror film I missed this year was “Sinister” with Ethan Hawke. I didn’t get around to seeing that one. Will any of these horror flicks make the list? Maybe a few of them, I don’t know. I’m a big horror film fan as you all know. I like to watch all the classic horror and new stuff.

I really can’t wait to get this list up and out of the way. I still don’t know what my no 1. choice will be yet. I just need to see, “Les Miserables”, and then I will make my decision. It will be a hard decision to make with my no 1. choice, though. There are a few choices that are no. 1 worthy. That’s another reason I’ve held off on this list, so I can have more time to think about it.

Sit tight people, the list will come soon. I’m hoping to see “Les Miserables”, this weekend. I remember reading the book in school once and will probably re-read it again soon. It does look like an interesting film and can’t wait to see it.

It’s been a pretty good year for movies.

Well, happy new year and this is the first blog post of 2013. So I thought I would make it a good one by talking about my goals or New Year’s Resolutions or whatever you want to call ’em. Like I said before, I didn’t go out on NYE’s. I don’t go out on NYE’s anymore. For one, it’s too dangerous out there with all the drunk drivers and all. It’s better to stay home safe, than sorry, ya know? Secondly, I’m not much of a party animal anymore like I used to be. When I was younger, I used to party hard, but I grew out of it. I still like to party once in a blue moon, but not all the time. So last night, I watched, “The Expendables 1 & 2” on Blu Ray before the balldrop on TV. Yes, I did watch both Expendables movies, and they are still badass.

I’m hoping 2013 will be a much better year for me, as I’m going to try and improve my life. Things like get a job. Get myself a nice woman (I will definitely try to make it happen this year, I will do my very best). Get out of the house more. Make more friends and socialize. I want to try and get my license this year again. Yes, I would like to get my license and my own vehicle, and that way I will be able to gig a lot more every year, if I had my own transportation. There’s so many other things in my life, I want to accomplish. Stay committed to bodybuilding, and hopefully get more muscle gains, become even more ripped. Eat more cleaner and get better at nutrition. There’s too many things I want to accomplish, and of course, I’m sure %50 of my goals will never happen, but they could if I set my mind to them and actually do it.

I also want to get back into songwriting again. Concentrate on my guitar skills and become a better guitarist which is getting worked on. I’m more worried about becoming a more professional guitar player, than a singer. I’m real focused on guitar.

I’m almost 40 years old, and need to grow up and do something with myself.
