Ted Cruz destroys Mark Zuckerberg over censorship of conservatives and Trump supporters on FB. This is a must watch!!!

Leave a comment

I’ve always known that Facebook has always been a cesspool for liberal bias… twitter is pretty much the same thing. My support for Ted Cruz has been on and off over the years but I think it’s back on again. This video is amazing! Ted Cruz destroys Mark Zuckerberg over censorship of conservatives and Trump supporters on facebook.

In this video, you see Ted Cruz not being afraid to call out Zuckerberg to his face about conservative censorship on FB.  Ted tries to ask him about if FB is a neutral public forum but Suckerberg couldn’t answer the question. He goes off by saying it’s for all ideas and makes a bunch of excuses that FB doesn’t accept “hate speech”, “nudity”, “terrorist content”, blah blah blah so you can see that Suckerberg is clearly denying liberal bias. So Ted Cruz here gives some examples of conservative censorship and you can clearly see Suckerberg couldn’t answer that one. Suckerberg continues to deny liberal bias on facebook as you can see. Since Suckerberg continues to deny it, Cruz gets on to Suckerberg even more by asking him if he’s aware of any liberal pages been taken down by FB and Suckerberg of course, says “No”. Suckerberg clearly couldn’t answer that one and was completely stumped. Cruz just wanted to prove his point about liberal bias on FB and did that beautifully.

This video is golden… I had to watch it a couple of times. This is Ted Cruz defending conservative freedom of speech. Ya know… Freedom of Speech works both ways. It’s not a one way street for liberals, but FB, twitter and other social networking pages wants to make it like that.

I was once a victim of conservative censorship on FB. One day I’ve had something weird happen to my FB and then I looked in my Support Inbox in the settings and FB sent me a message saying they’ve taken a post down due to nudity. I’m like, “What?”. I’m pretty sure I didn’t post nudity at all ’cause I know it’s the rules of the TOS. I was pretty sure FB has taken down a post with conservative views or I’ve posted something positively about Trump.

Anyway, it is interesting though how people want to deny liberal bias on social networking. If you want to continue to deny it then why is it that conservatives and Trump supporters are always getting punishment and liberals get no punishment? Liberals are always saying hateful and abusive things to people everyday, you try to report them and nothing happens to them. It’s always the right-wing community getting punishment by the staff. I’ve always believed that social networking pages just wants to destroy conservatives and they are in bed with liberals.

Why is there liberal bias in social networking? Elections is the key, I must say. It’s how they try to make Democrat politicians to win elections. They want to make it seem like conservatives don’t exist and that’s why they censor them. Not only the mainstream media is corrupt to the core, social networking is corrupt to the core too.

I think FB should be shut down and I could care less if it goes ’cause FB is garbage anyways. Always has been and always will be. Liberal bias on FB is not the only reason why it sucks so much. FB is garbage ’cause people are crazy. Too much negativity, soap opera and drama… plus I’m tired of all the baby pics, animal pics and stupid memes.

Can we bring the old myspace back with Tom running it, please? I really miss those days. The old myspace was better. It’ll be great if myspace made a comeback.

Wrestlemania 34 review… some of it was good but most of it sucked…

Leave a comment

Well, Wrestlemania 34 happened last night and I watched it on my computer on the WWE Network. I watch the WWE ppvs on the computer instead of on my PS4 ’cause the streaming works better on my computer. The streaming of live ppvs on the PS4 sucks so I watch it on the computer instead which is better.

Anyway, on with my thoughts about last night’s ppv… like the title of this topic says, “some of it was good but most of it sucked” which was so true. The best matches of the night that I thought were the IC Title Triple Threat match (Seth Rollins won it), Asuka vs. Charlotte for SD Women’s Champ, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakumura, Cena vs. Taker and the Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle vs. Triple H/Stephanie was surprisingly really good. They were the best matches of the night, but Charlotte vs. Asuka was my favorite of them all, though. Charlotte vs. Asuka was amazing… even though my Asuka lost the match and lost her undefeated streak to Charlotte, the match was phenomenal. Both women did a good job.

The reason most of the ppv sucked ’cause most of it was too predictable for the most part. I got most of my predictions right and only got like 3 or 4 wrong. That’s how predictable it was. Another reason the ppv sucked ’cause most of the matches were boring. Most of the matches were pretty quick and the wrestling in the matches wasn’t that good either.

If you want to talk about bad wrestling, look at the awful main event which was the Universal Championship with Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns. That was the most boring as hell main event I’ve seen in my life that I almost fell asleep at the end of WM-34. Everybody thought Roman Reigns was going to win since there is a lot of talk that Lesnar is leaving WWE soon but Lesnar ends up winning and retaining. Ya know, of course Lesnar won. Vince McMahon has such a big hardon for Brock and there’s no way Brock would want to lose his championship on Wrestlemania night. Brock is too valuable to WWE. Look, I do like both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns… I think both men are badass but that match last night was terrible. The only positive that I can give that match was that Lesnar retaining was shocking and nobody saw it coming.

We haven’t had a good Wrestlemania main event in a long time, honestly. That’s because they are always too quick and boring. When will we get a good main event again for Wrestlemania? It’s getting old and tiresome of Vince having the big men main event Wrestlemania. For Wrestlemania main events, you’ll always see either Cena, Reigns, Lesnar and Triple H main eventing. How about a little change for once, Vince?

As far as Asuka vs. Charlotte goes, that would have to be the best match on the card, I would say. Both women did a phenomenal job. That’s a history making match right there. Even though it’s upsetting that Asuka lost her undefeated streak, it was still an amazing match.

Even though the Undertaker vs. Cena happened last night, it was a quick match but still very entertaining. It made sense to make that one a quick one since Cena has been calling out the Undertaker and ‘Taker wanted to show that he was upset and he did. Undertaker won, of course. The Undertaker is my favorite.

As far as Ronda Rousey goes, I thought she did a really good job on her WM debut. Ronda is gonna be a big star in WWE and I can see a huge future ahead of her. Now that the Ronda vs. Triple H/Steph feud maybe over, Ronda will probably move on to feud with other women in WWE. Who would Ronda feud with next? I would say Ronda should go after Nia Jax for the RAW women’s title since Nia won it at WM last night. I’ve been a huge Ronda fan for a long time. Watched her a lot in UFC and still a fan of her now.

There weren’t major superstar returns last night. I was expecting to see a few but didn’t. They focused on the matches which was good.

I’m planning to watch RAW tonight after ‘Mania to see what happens. Maybe we’ll get some surprises tonight?

This year’s Wrestlemania was an okay show. Wasn’t the greatest so if you didn’t watch it and wanted to, you didn’t miss much.

My Wrestlemania-34 predictions…

Leave a comment

My Wrestlemania winner predictions for tonight:

WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
WINNER: Roman Reigns (since Brock will be leaving WWE after)

WWE Championship: Aj Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakumura
WINNER: Nakumura will probably get this one. Should be a great match, though.

Mixed Tag Match: Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle vs. Triple H/Steph
WINNER: Ronda Rousey/Kurt Angle. No way they’ll make Ronda lose on her debut match. This match will probably end with Ronda giving Steph the arm bar and she taps out.

Daniel Bryan/Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn
WINNER: I’m going to go with Owens/Zayn on this one. They’ll figure out a way to cheat again.

WWE Intercontinental Champ Triple Threat match: The Miz (c) vs. Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins
WINNER: Gonna go with Seth Rollins on this one. Time for Seth to get a huge push that he deserves.

WWE RAW Tag Team Championship: The Bar (c) vs. Braun Strowman and mystery partner
WINNER: I think the Bar will retain.

WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
WINNER: I predict the Bludgeon Brothers are gonna get this one. Should be a real good match, though.

WWE RAW Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Nia Jax
WINNER: I predict Nia is gonna get this one. People will think Alexa will retain but it’s looking like Nia will get a huge push.

WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship: Charlotte (c) vs. Asuka
WINNER: I think Asuka will become the new SD Champ ’cause no way WWE will make her lose her undefeated streak on her WM debut.

WWE US Championship Fatal 4 Way: Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
WINNER: I’m thinking Rusev is gonna get this one but Jinder Mahal could end up winning too. I guess it’s a tie between Mahal and Rusev.

Undertaker vs. John Cena (if it ends up happening tonight and probably will):
WINNER: Undertaker will get the win definitely.

Enjoy! Lets see how many I got right and how many I got wrong!

Will we see any surprise returns at WM-34 tonight? Yeah, I think we’re definitely gonna see a few… lets see…

Hulk Hogan? Maybe. Jeff Hardy? Definitely. Rey Mysterio? Definitely. Chris Jericho? Maybe. Samoa Joe? Definitely. Big Cass? Definitely.

I’m sure we’ll get a few shockers tonight. We’ll have to wait and see.

Hope it’s a good show.

Just met Jason Mewes of Jay and Silent Bob, he’s pretty awesome in person as expected!!!

So I went to Saratoga Comic Con at the City Center in Saratoga Springs this morning. Yeah, it’s Comic Con season again and Saratoga Springs host a comic con every year. I went last year and went this year.

As you can see in the pics, I just met Jason Mewes who is most famous for Jay and Silent Bob. I’m a huge fan of Kevin Smith movies and the Jay and Silent Bob duo. I’ve seen all Jay and Silent Bob movies but my favorites are “Clerks” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back”. I told Jay that and he said thanks. Jay was such a cool dude in real life as I figure he would be. Jay was talkative and approachable but he couldn’t talk long ’cause of the line. I would have talked to him longer but he looked to be in a real hurry ’cause he wanted to get the line moving. There were celebrities doing autographs/pics. Jay was obviously the most famous there so his lines would be longer. Thankfully I got to see Jay early before the long lines hit.

I bought the “Clerks” movie on BluRay and had a few of the cast in the movie sign it for me. I had Scott Schiaffo, Marilyn Ghigliotti and Jason Mewes sign it.

Ya know, the thing is that autographs/pics with the celebrities aren’t free. You gotta pay something for them whatever price they ask for. I bought the “Clerks” BluRay off of Marilyn the actress in the movie. She asked for $40 for the BluRay but didn’t ask for extra money for autograph which was nice of her. I talked to her for a bit and she was real sweet and down to earth. I think she was the only actress there who didn’t ask money for autographs/pics but she was selling stuff on her table, though. She was a super nice lady and it was great to meet her. Remember, Marilyn played Veronica. She’s that lady who breaks up with Dante toward the end of the movie.

I’ve seen “Clerks” too many times. It’s a great film.

I like Comic Con events. They’re fun, but those are the type of events where you spend a lot of money so you better make sure you have some cash on ya. lol….

Yeah, I want to get into comic book collecting as it’s a new hobby that I want to pick up. I bought some comics there earlier today. Mostly Batman, Superman, The Punisher and Wolverine since they are my favorite superheroes. I not only want to collect comics as a collector’s item, but I just want to get into them to read. Some of the superhero stories are real good and interesting. I want get into comics for the stories.

The Comic Con in Saratoga was an awesome time. Had a blast.

Health and Fitness

Trying to find which workouts is best for you…

Leave a comment

So I’ve been going to the gym 4 days a week now. I used to go 3 days a week but now I’m switching it up for 4. This way I can have arm day, chest day, back day and legs day. That’s how you want to do it. Workout body parts separately.

Like always, I’m always trying to learn new workouts and I have learned so much by going to the Battenkill YMCA which I like to call it the Battenkill Y which is a gym I go to in my hometown.

For chest day, I’ve tried to get back into benching a little bit but I still can’t seem to get into it. Ya know, barbell chest press on a flat bench which is the most popular workout in history. I know benching is a popular workout but I don’t like it. I try to do benching once in a blue moon, I just don’t like it for some reason. I find dumbbell chest press more fun. Why is dumbbell press for chest better? Simply because dumbbell works the chest much harder than the barbell. Seriously, this info is out there if you do the research. Plus, the dumbbell press is much safer than barbell. I try to do the dumbbell chest press on a bench, but I prefer to do it on the floor. Dumbbell chest press on a floor helps works it much harder and it’s much safer that way too. So I’ll probably do dumbbell chest presses on the floor from now on.

As for other workouts for chest, I’ve gotten into doing cable crossovers which really helps. Incline presses for dumbbells is what I’m gonna start doing a lot and I’m gonna start doing dumbbell flies for chest too.

I’m very happy with what I have with my body… I feel I’m in good enough shape but I’m not afraid to say that the chest still needs some more work. I think the problem is that I haven’t been working hard enough on the chest admittedly and I’m going to from this point on. Lift heavier weights is what I’m going to do. Lift heavier weights where the last few reps would be to failure is how you want to do it.

For back day, I’m gonna do dead lifting on barbell, though ’cause I really love the dead lift. Barbell dead lift is fucking awesome and I’m gonna do that every week. For now, I’m not a super heavy dead lifter but I hope to be someday. For now I can do like 80 – 90 lbs. I experimented with dead lifting in the past a long time ago, I’m just getting back into it and loving it. For middle back, I do cable rows and for lats I do lat pull downs and pull ups.

For legs, I’m gonna do barbell squats ’cause I love that too. Again, I’m not a super heavy lifter yet. I can only squat 80 lbs but hope to lift heavier someday. I can, however, lift 200 lbs. on a leg press, though. For hamstrings, I do seated leg curls but I don’t really need to do hamstring workouts much anymore since I’m gonna do a lot of dead lifting ’cause dead lifting is a hamstring workout. For calves, I do standing calves and seated calves.

For arms, I do the basic dumbbell curl. Dumbbell shoulder presses and tricep extensions.

For abs, I don’t do abs workout much ’cause I’m already doing plenty of ab workout through yoga and doing a lot of planks.

For cardio, I punch the heavy bag for a little and run on the treadmill for a couple of times a week.

Yep, I’m still trying to become the best shape of my life and still taking it seriously. Gonna take eating clean more seriously too. I want to have muscular body and get big. Not afraid to say it. Just taking my time and being patience about it. I love working out. It’s my second passion behind music.

Everybody has a no. 1 hobby and a no. 2 hobby. Music and fitness is what they are. Lets see if I can stick with fitness throughout the year without much breaks and I’m planning on it. I know it may sound arrogant a little bit but I want to have a great body and already do, just need some improvements here and there. People are still giving me nice compliments of what I’m doing in fitness which feels awesome. When you get a lot of compliments about your body, it means you’re going somewhere. Not bad for someone who is in my 40’s and have scoliosis. Many don’t want to admit that what I do is courageous and inspiring but that’s okay. I just do what I do. Just trying to workout and want to be healthy is all.

RIP Kurt Cobain who died 24 years ago today…

Leave a comment

Like most, I’ve first heard about Nirvana through their hit song, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. I remember the video to that song was being played all over MTV back in the 90’s. Each time Nirvana videos came on MTV, I would crank up the volume and enjoy it. I was a teenager in high school during the 90’s grunge era. If you did too then your high school years were awesome. I bought the “Nevermind” album after they exploded all over MTV. When I was a kid, all I would ever listen to was the “Nevermind” album… those were the days when the Compact Disc was pretty new too. I love the “Nevermind” album and still do love that record. I love “Bleach” and “In Utero” too.

I don’t get all the hatred toward Nirvana and Kurt Cobain himself. This is a band that deserves more respect ’cause without Nirvana then the other grunge bands wouldn’t have happened. Yes, I’m talking about Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, etc. All those bands were important to me during my high school years ’cause I listened to all of them. Nirvana was my most favorite, though.

Nirvana proved that you don’t need to be technical to make great music. All you need to do is get a few guys together and just make some noise and that’s it. Yeah, Nirvana songs were very simplistic, but that’s what I loved about them. You can still make tight as hell songs even with just playing barre chords, power chords and basic open chords. Sure, that was all Kurt mostly played on guitar but it’s his style I’m most impressed about.

I’ve been loyal to Nirvana ever since they exploded in the 90’s. Still am a fan of them now. At some point I’d like to video tape myself covering their songs. I used to cover some of their stuff when I used to perform live gigs and open mics so I’ll have to relearn them. I remember playing songs like “In Bloom”, “Breed”,  “Polly” and “Come As You Are”.

Nirvana was a great band. It’s too bad that their career was cut short.

Liberals are definitely brainwashed by social media & the MSM… here’s how…

1 Comment

You want to know why liberals are so scared to death of conservatives and why they hate them so much? Want to know why liberals don’t know much about conservatism and why they are confused? It’s simply ’cause they’re brainwashed by social media and the MSM.

Perfect example of this is that I haven’t seen one liberal talk about the youtube shooting. Usually when a shooting happens in America you see liberals giving their thoughts and prayers on all of them. All of them except for this one ’cause why? The shooter who shot up youtube headquarters in California was identified as a young Iranian Muslim woman named, Nasim Aghdam.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/04/youtube-shooter-reportedly-id-d-as-woman-with-vendetta-against-company.html

I haven’t seen one liberal talk about this publicly. NOT fucking one. Why? Probably because a Muslim was suspected in the shooting this time and it didn’t fit their narrative. We’ve been trying to tell people that Muslims are violent for decades and they spent decades not believing us. Do they believe us now? I believe so. Maybe that’s why they’re silent ’cause they feel dumbfounded about Islam being peaceful and they don’t want to admit it publicly that it’s not peaceful.

I’m sure liberals knew a Muslim was involved in this shooting and they don’t dare say it ’cause it would make liberals look bad. They are careful not to destroy their party and the mainstream media will bury this story quick enough. Watch for it.

Liberals scream gun control when children are the victims, but they don’t scream gun control when an illegal alien shoots someone with a gun (like the Kate Steinle story for example) and they don’t scream gun control when a Muslim is suspected in a shooting.

Why is this you may ask? It’s because social media and MSM are controlling liberals. They are brainwashing them how to think and how to speak. That’s why you see trending topics in social media being mostly “liberal” headlines. It’s why social media like FB and twitter are trying to fight alternative news sites by calling them “fake news”. Ya know, sites like FOX News, Breitbart, the Drudge Report, etc. It is why FB and twitter are trying their best to censor conservatives.

Why do you think liberals have a tough time trying to understand how corrupt Barack Obama and the Democrat party are? When you try to tell them that, they laugh at you and ignore you. Instead they call Trump and Republicans corrupt. Why? It’s because they’re being controlled and brainwashed by social media and the MSM. They are telling them how to think. This is why liberals have one-sided opinions most of the time. Brainwashed by social media and the MSM.

Liberals get most of their info ’cause they see the liberal trending topics. They also join liberal FB groups like Being Liberal, Occupy Democrats, The Other 98% and crap like that. I see liberals in FB everyday re-sharing bullshit memes from those groups I listed. Liberals actually believe those things and it’s just pathetic, ya know? They actually thought Trump was gonna lose the election ’cause those groups told them so. That’s how gullible and naive they are. They actually believe most of the crap that’s put out there in the news… ya know… fake garbage like “Trump not delivering promises”, “Trump sleeping with women”, “Trump going on vacations”, “Trump going golfing”, “Trump colluding with Russia”, “Trump disrespecting McCain” and blah blah blah. You get the deal. It’s fucking crazy.

Social media and the Fake News MSM are not gonna give up the brainwashing. It’s gonna get much worse ’cause of the midterms. Trust me on that. It’s real sad. I’ve always believed that this “Right vs. Left” thing is pretty bad but it’s gotten much worse now. Liberals hate us much worse than ever before.

I despise social media and the MSM so much. It would be nice if we could unite somehow and someday. Unite and start loving each other again ’cause back and forth hate is doing us no good.

Looks like ReverbNation and Soundcloud both allows you to create albums now which is cool really…

Leave a comment

I used to use ReverbNation and Soundcloud to upload my songs for all to hear, but those websites only allowed you to upload songs individually. At first, they didn’t allow you to upload albums and release them. Now both ReverbNation and Soundcloud do allow you to release your albums on there which is cool.

If I ever did an internet only album, I was gonna use Bandcamp to upload it there but now I don’t have to since ReverbNation and Soundcloud both allows musicians to create albums now.

It’s so freakin’ cool, though! I’m gonna start making my own albums and release them all on the internet for free. I don’t need money for them ’cause I don’t do music for money. I won’t make people pay for my songs just to get people to listen to them.

If I ever made my first internet album with title and cover and all, I’ll probably use Soundcloud to release it exclusively. I’ve always wanted to do my own album. In the past, it used to be very hard for musicians to upload albums for the internet but now it’s much easier everywhere.

I still got my old songs on both ReverbNation and Soundcloud so I’m gonna have to start doing some changes on both sites.

I really want to make my first album and it’ll probably be homemade. I got good enough sounding home studio gear so I’m really good to go. I’m glad those music sites improved and that way I can start using them again. I do want to get back into songwriting and I will.

When I start recording again, I’m gonna try to make them sound as best as possible. I’m not the best at producing but I’ve been reading and researching about that stuff. I’m gonna teach myself mixing and mastering and all that stuff. I want to produce it all myself.

What songs would I write about? Whatever I can come up with really: fictional stories, horror songs, political messages, poetic songs, etc. Just whatever comes to mind. If I want to write political messages, I probably will. Just write whatever the hell I want to!

After I make my first album, I’ll come up with a title, come up with a cover, get it copyrighted and then release it. I do want my next batch of material to be more melodic. Music that can be listenable and enjoyable. Songwriting is fun and I want to get back into it.

Yesterday I cancelled my Netflix membership and felt really good doing that. Do not feel ashamed at all!

Leave a comment

29595114_10155498204743131_115840643675441283_n

Yesterday morning, I actually did it. Cancelled my Netflix membership. Yeah, I know it’s gonna piss off some liberal snowflakes, but I don’t give a flying two fucks. My life, my decisions and my opinions. They don’t like it? I don’t give a shit!

Like most conservatives I cancelled Netflix due to them hiring the corrupted Susan Rice as Board of Directors and agreeing to work on projects with the ultra-corrupt Barack Obama. I can’t put my money toward criminals and can’t put my money toward a company supporting criminals. Can’t do it.

I know my decision of quitting Netflix is gonna question some but that’s their problem. Some are gonna be like, “Oh Kev, you shouldn’t leave Netflix over politics”. Keep in mind, these are the same people who calls for boycotts on Chick-Fil-A and the NRA. These are also the same people who refuses to support Trump supporting celebrities like Ted Nugent, Scott Baio and others. These are also the same people who refuses to watch FOX News, reading the Breitbart News site and anything that has to do with right-wing. They accuse the “right-wing” community of boycotting things over politics when the left does the same thing. Liberal hypocrisy like usual. Nothing to see here.

Ah well, who needs Netflix right? It was getting pricey anyways ’cause they keep raising the price and I can’t find much good stuff to watch on there anyways so fuck Netflix.

The question you have ask now is, would I sign up for a replacement of a streaming service for Movies and TV shows? No. Probably not. I did briefly look at Amazon Prime and I wasn’t so impressed with Prime so I opted out of that as well. I won’t sign up for another streaming service for movies and TV shows ’cause they’re all pretty pricey really. Netflix is the most expensive.

The only streaming service I’m gonna keep is WWE Network ’cause I love my wrestling and I’m probably gonna watch that a lot more often.

Instead of streaming services for movies and TV shows, I am going to sign up for the full version of Spotify. Spotify is pretty cheap too, it’s like 9.99 a month for an individual member. I’ve always wanted Spotify so I’m going to go for that. That way I can listen to any albums I want without ads and I can play Spotify on any device. I’ll be able to listen to Spotify on my Ipad and play it through my stereo system.

As far as streaming services for movies and TV shows go, you don’t really need ’em anyways ’cause they can be too addicting. If I wanted to watch a movie or a TV show, I’ll probably buy them on DVD and BluRay. I think that’s a lot better. Binge watching isn’t really good for ya anyways. There’s better things to do in life.

How to handle being hated on and criticized by other musicians in local music community…

Leave a comment

Being a musician may sound a lot of fun which it is, but sometime you’re gonna realize that it’s not always going to be fun. You’re definitely going to deal with some ups and downs as I know I’ve definitely did over the years. Knowing from my own experience, I’ve dealt with a lot of mixed reactions from other musicians. They either love me or hate me, I’m good either way.

If you’re a musician and other musicians don’t treat you so kindly, here’s a way to handle it. Simply put, just don’t care what anyone thinks about you. You definitely gotta have a “don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks about me” attitude, all the time if you want to continue to play your music. The trick on dealing with haters in the music scene is that you gotta keep playing your music and that’s pretty much it really. Keep playing your music no matter what anyone says. Yeah, some are definitely gonna hate and there are gonna be some that will want to see you fail. There will be many who won’t want to see you succeed and that’s why a lot of other musicians in the scene go out of their way of hating you. The trick is, you just gotta keep playing your music no matter what kind of negativity throws at you.

I remember when I started playing out at the year 2006 and later, haters were coming at me like crazy. I remember the old local music board days, wow. A lot of people say that I brought a lot of this stuff upon myself over the years but not really. Haters are gonna hate, pure and simple. You just gotta ignore them all and continue to do your thing, no matter what anyone says. When other musicians are getting bullied by other musicians, they waste a lot of time defending themselves which is a bad thing to do. Best thing to do is ignore them and keep moving forward.

You just got to realize that not everyone in the musicians community is gonna like you and that’s the way it is, ya know? I’ve learned that a long time ago. I’m pretty sure musicians around this area still hates my guts but ya know what? I don’t give a shit! Fuck them for all I care!

Just keep playing your tunes, write your songs and release them. I notice the haters get a lot worse when they see you keep working on music and that’s what you gotta do. Having haters isn’t necessarily a bad thing ’cause sometimes bad publicity can be good. I’m not worried about getting bad publicity anymore like I used to. Admittedly, it can be a nice way to get noticed so don’t worry about it. Getting haters can be a nice way to get the word out about your music.

There are national bands out there that get so many haters but they keep playing their music no matter what people thinks of them like Metallica for example. Metallica is one of the most criticized bands on the planet but they keep going. The same goes with me. I have so many haters but I keep going in music.  Nothing is stopping me. That’s the attitude you should have.

There will be other musicians who think they can control you if they don’t like you. There will be other musicians that will try to get you to quit if they don’t like your music or if they don’t like you as a person. The trick is don’t listen to any of them. Give them all the middle finger and keep doing what you do.

I used to worry about other musicians getting onto me but I’ve gotten much better at not giving a fuck anymore. Only care about you and your music and that’s the point that I’m trying to get at. People will say that’s the wrong attitude to have… they will call you cocky and arrogant but it’s not. You just gotta do what’s right for yourself. That’s what you gotta do if you want to play your music positively. Gotta stay above the haters as best as possible. I’ve gotten much better at this which I’m proud of. You should consider doing the same.
