Why is there is so much drama, soap opera and personal shit by people in facebook? I think it’s really because that’s what Mark Zuckerberg created FB for in the first place. He wanted people to post everything about themselves for his own personal amusement? Just to get entertained by something?

FB is full of drama and soap opera everyday. It’s crazy. Women ranting about how shitty men are in dating. Men ranting about how shitty women are in dating. There are plenty of couples online who won’t keep their relationship private… couples have to keep showing their love for each other publicly rather than keep it privately when it should be. Relationships shouldn’t be made public but people do it anyways. There’s also all kinds of drama with your own family members and friends too.

When it comes to political posts, people can get all dramatic over this stuff too. It’s like, you can’t post your opinions in politics anymore ’cause people will get offended at everything.

I don’t use facebook to get into drama and I don’t use FB to post personal stuff. I use my FB for entertainment and for my own amusement really. I don’t even know why I’m still there. I almost left a couple of times last year. I use my FB to give my opinions on things and to speak my mind like what it’s here for. I like speak on politics a lot, write movie reviews, talk about music, talk about wrestling, etc. The usual topics just like this blog.

People can be really weird and wacky as hell in FB too. It shows how people really are in the real world. I know a lot of people deactivated FB for the reasons I explained above which I can’t blame them.

People are fucking nuts on FB fo sure. Why? People would do anything for attention really… to get more friends count, more FB likes and things like that. That’s probably a huge part of why people get all dramatic ’cause they love the attention. Honestly, you can’t really trust a lot of people in FB… including those you know in your own FB friends list. In FB, you’ll get stabbed in the back by a lot of people and all that stuff. People come and go in my FB all the time, that’s the way it is.

Honestly, I don’t really care what goes on in other people’s FB ’cause I only focus on my own. I’m thinking about leaving FB again, though ’cause I can’t take it anymore. I like twitter a lot more than FB ’cause twitter is better and twitter is less dramatic too.

Once again, I can’t blame people for leaving FB a lot ’cause it fucking sucks. Always did. I’m still there ’cause I have a few very close friends that I keep in touch with all the time and it wouldn’t be fair for them if I left.

So I’ve finished reading that “Music Theory For Computer Musicians” book that I talked about. Oddly enough, I already know most of the music theory that was taught in that book ’cause I’ve been studying really hard on music theory so I guess I am pretty much a music theory expert now. Even though I already know most stuff taught in that book I read, two things that I actually learned from that book that was actually pretty useful and helpful was that I understand how to use the “piano roll” in DAW software better. I also know how to do “score writing” better ’cause on Mixcraft 8 does include both piano roll and score writing. Ya know, the score writing feature where you can put your own notes on a treble clef and bass clef. I’ve been learning how to read music too and I think I can do that pretty well. Only thing I’m trying to improve on is my “ear training” and improvisation skills which is what I’m working so hard on. I’m trying to have a good ear in music. I feel that it’s important to know music theory, know how to read music and have a good ear. Once you have all three, you’ll be able to record everything you hear in your head and that’s my goal.

I also took a look through the “Making Music with Garageband and Mixcraft” book, while I already know most stuff taught through that book as well… the only reason I bought that book ’cause it had a section about “mixing and mastering” in it. I want to teach myself mixing and mastering which doesn’t look all that hard. Mixcraft DAW makes mixing and mastering easy for you.

I love Acoustica Mixcraft. It’s very similar to Apple’s “Garageband” but way better, in my opinion. Mixcraft is not just a music recording software, it’s also video editing. So will I one day start making MTV/VH1 styled music videos to my songs? I was always against making music videos to my songs but I’m thinking of giving it a try to see how it goes.

I’m thinking of buying myself a bass guitar sometime this year and that way I can put in my own bass lines using a real bass instead of MIDI. Would be cool and would be easier.

I’m getting the hang of this DAW stuff, though. Planning on messing around with Mixcraft more this year now that I got the full version. Looks like simple software. Other DAW’s like ProTools, Ableton Live, FL Studio, etc. They all make music recording difficult and challenging for ya but not with Mixcraft. Mixcraft looks so easy that even a little kid could probably be good with it.

I want to get back into writing and recording. Itching to get new music out pretty badly.
