Here is the second part of my San Diego adventure. In this video you’ll get to see the Point Loma Lighthouse, Old Town, and Balboa Park.

I’ll upload part 3 tomorrow. I have to upload one video at a time a day, because they take forever to convert to Windows Media and upload to youtube.

Here is part 1 of my San Diego adventure. I’ll post one video a day.

During my Cali vacation over the week, I did quite a bit of shopping. That’s one of the things of what vacations are all about, spending all kinds of money. You can only live once, right? So have all the fun while you can!

Here’s some of the things I picked up…I picked up a few movies on DVD: “Captain America: The First Avenger”, “Green Lantern”, and “Hanna”. Picked up a few music CD’s, Lou Reed & Metallica “Lulu”, William Shatner, “Seeking Major Tom”, and the new Janes Addiction album. I also picked up Ace Frehley’s new book, “No Regrets”. I also bought the new Batman video game, “Arkham City” as well. Of course, I picked up t-shirts and a few other stuff from various gift shops.

I had a blast over the week. I definitely want to go back to Hollywood again sometime in the future. After seeing Hollywood for the first time ever, I’ll have to admit that I have a little bit of an obsession with fame & fortune. I’ll admit that I kind of want that lifestyle myself even though I’ll never get it.

While Hollywood is pretty fun, it can also get kind of crazy. You’re going to see all kinds of crazy people on the Blvd. You know how it is on that street. People wearing different costumes from movies and TV shows. Women wearing sexually revealing clothing in public. Musicians trying to sell CD’s to you. All that stuff.

I’ll have video footage for you all soon. They will be separated in various parts ’cause I filmed plenty of footage. The San Diego videos will be coming first, then L.A. I’ll upload the first video a little later.

I’m sure you do, enjoy. I’ll post more stars tomorrow.

Here are several photos taken from Hollywood Blvd. This should make all the haters out there, a little jealous.

If you all wondered why this blog have been slow all week, is because I was on vacation. Was on a full week vacation from last Sunday to today. Now I’m finally back home. Where did I go? Well, I went to California. Went to San Diego to visit my brother and Los Angeles to visit my sister. Yes, I have family that live in those two big cities. So I went out there to visit them and do some fun stuff, of course, like a lot of adventuring, sight seeing, and shopping.

We saw most of the popular tourist attractions and landmarks in both cities. I did take photos and there’s video footage coming too, ’cause I documented my adventure for a videoblog. The photos and videos will be coming to this blog site tomorrow, ’cause I don’t feel like doing it tonight obviously, since I got home kind of late. Tired and beat tonight.

It was a fun vacation. I had a blast. I will write a lot more about it tomorrow as well. This will be a short blog entry, ’cause I don’t feel like doing a lot of blogging tonight either. I will do all the blogging tomorrow ’cause there are news that I need to catch up on I missed over the week.

Along with my vacation, I also took a full week off of fitness & healthy nutrition. Gotta have those once in a while. It’s hard to eat healthy on vacation, ’cause sometimes you get forced to eat junk food no matter where you go.

Yes, I did visit Hollywood Blvd. there will be video footage of that too. More on my California adventure tomorrow.

I’ve been trying to write some new originals, but I’ve been most focused on trying to become a better guitarist and singer. Learning how to do both at the same time.

For the singing, I’ve been working with “Metal Method’s Vocal Power”, the Jim Gillette instruction. I’ve just started using it again, practicing with it everyday. I do want to be a better singer, my goal is to get to those higher notes and to try and sing stronger. My singing is kind of soft like a Bob Dylan/Tom Petty kind of voice. I want to be better and hopefully be looked at as a “singer” than just a guitar player. I’m trying the best I can and learning.

“Vocal Power” instruction really works. It really does help your singing voice stronger as I feel my voice has gotten just a little bit stronger just by practicing with it.

I do got a lot of original song ideas and I hope to get ’em out of my chest soon. I also plan to give “Evil Fred”, a re-write. Change the music around a little bit, and re-write the lyrics totally. “Evil Fred” is one of my popular songs, it used to be the most requested song at the gigs from the past, and I plan to revive it to a new version.

The next question is, will I ever gig again? My answer, I don’t know. I love gigging and I love performing live in front of people. Only thing though, I lost my appreciation and respect for this area’s music scene due to un-professionalism and negativity around here. Plus, people don’t go to shows anymore, so why even bother? I can just perform live for you all right on my video camera, for livestream or something like that.

I just do music for fun. I’m not looking to make a name for myself or make money doing it, I do it ’cause it’s what I do. Even though I don’t play shows, I still play guitar and sing every day. I’ll never give that up.

I’ve been trying to come up with new songs lately.

I usually don’t defend myself from negativity about me online, but I felt I need to get this off my chest. I never really understood why certain people that will be nameless, get so obsessed and hung up with talking shit about me online. It’s mostly certain people who I had grudges with in the past, like 5 or 6 years ago and they are still talking shit about me online to this day. I never understood it. It’s just proves my point that people are fucked in the head sometimes, you know? It’s mostly local musicians and their friends that get together with their little gang to have fun talking shit about me and laugh at it.

They have fun with it and they think it’s funny. That’s why they get so addicted to it. Well, honestly, I don’t think what they do is funny. It’s called harassment, and bullying for sure. I’m a human being, and I hurt just like you. They mostly make fun of the way I speak and the way I look. Like I said before, I’m not perfect and neither is everyone else.

If people want to be a total loser and keep doing what they do, that’s fine. Fuck ’em. Fuck ’em all. I’m a happy guy right now, living life and enjoying it. That’s all I care about. Playing my music, and doing the fitness. That’s all I wanna do in life that’s it.

Why do you think I don’t play gigs much around the scene? The negativity of other people who call themselves “musicians” is what I wanted to stay away from. I don’t have time for drama and negativity anymore, guys. That’s no longer, me. I want to stay positive, happy and enjoy life. I don’t care what other people think about me anymore.

I’m done with this kindergarten and pre-school, bullshit. This is part of the reason why I hate this music scene so much. It’s not friendly and lovable that everybody thinks. I tried to be a nice guy, but that’s why you shouldn’t make friends with people around the music scene ’cause you can’t trust anybody. You can make friends with the wrong people.

I only deal with joyful and happy people. I do get supporters and people who treat me with respect, and I appreciate that. So thanks for the true supporters, out there.
