If Obama doesn’t get his gun control, he’s gonna keep staging all these shootings. This is why most of these shootings are false flags ’cause all they do is push gun control. As long as Barack is still in office, these things are gonna keep happening.
Yeah, the White House are capable of doing crazy stuff like this in order to politicize something.

When you want to play in a band, I’ve learned it’s pretty important to have a good ear and learn to get good with improvising. You don’t necessarily have to but it’s a must so you won’t get lost and won’t play out of key, ya know?
To improve your ear in guitar playing, you can read all kinds of guitar instruction books all you want to but that’s never gonna help ya get a good ear.
To get a good ear in music, all you gotta do is memorize the sound of each note in your head. Knowing exactly what they sound like. It can take hours and hours, days and days of practice to know what a note sound like. There are only 12 notes of music and if you have memorized all 12 notes then you’ll be able to play just about anything that comes to your head. Plus it’s important to know all the intervals too.
As always, it’s also important to jam along to your favorite songs. Figure out songs by ear and forget looking at guitar tab. Many guitarists uses guitar tab to learn songs. That’s because they’re too lazy. Many guitarists these days are too intimidated to learn songs by ear. I don’t know why. Why do you think all the guitar greats like Hendrix, Clapton, Satriani, Anastasio, etc. became guitar virtuosos? It’s because before the age of guitar tablature, all they did was sit there in front of their record players with their guitars in their hands. They would spend all day figuring out songs by ear. That’s pretty much how you become a master guitar player.
I’m not a “wizard” at improvisation yet but I’m sure am getting there and getting closer. That’s the kind of guitar player I’ve always wanted to be. I’ve been playing guitar for at least 20 years now, I think and still haven’t gotten there yet but working on it.
I wanna be that type of guitar player where I’ll just pick up the guitar and play just about everything I hear note for note without struggling. I wanna be that type of guitar player like where I’m playing in a band and nobody will have to tell me what to play or tell me what key to play, I can just come in and jam with no problem. You get the idea, I wanna become the improviser guitarist kind of like all those virtuosos. I wanna become that type of guitar player so I can be able to jam with all kinds of different bands and jam with other musicians.
When you have a dream of what kind of guitar player you wanna be, you gotta stay positive and stick with it. Stay dedicated and don’t give up. My ear in music is getting a lot better, though. I can tell ya that.

I really meant what I said that I’m very happy for Sly that he finally got recognized for his acting talent. I haven’t seen “Creed” yet but I’m planning on seeing it tomorrow.
Everybody’s always criticizing Sly for his acting talent. Making claims that he’s mostly well-known as an action star but many feel that he isn’t the greatest actor.
I always knew this man has acting talent. He’s even a talented actor in the action movies ’cause I thought he did a great job playing Rambo and movies like “Cliffhanger”, “Assassins”, “Tango & Cash”, “Cop Land”, “Cobra”, etc.
Sly never won an Oscar before but he did get Oscar nominated for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay for the first “Rocky” film. Yep, I feel it’s finally time to give him his Oscar so I hope the Academy does the right thing.
Yep, Sly’s a talented actor, I always saw that. It’s time to finally see that and silence all of his critics.
Congrats Sly! Well deserved, man! \m/

Come on people, it’s just a freaking movie, geez! I find nothing wrong with the bear scenes in “The Revenant” and like I just said, it’s a movie. I repeat, JUST A MOVIE!
This is just another example why the right-wing community has been driving me crazy as of late. They can be just as bad as liberals. The right-wing community has been outraged over this thanks to Matt Drudge and his big mouth.
I think “The Revenant” looks awesome and I’ll proudly go see it when it comes out in Jan.

I stopped watching WWE a long time ago. Haven’t been watching in like 3 or 4 years or more so I absolutely know that WWE completely sucks right now so I completely understand where everyone is coming from. WWE just sent out a survey to the WWE Fan Council asking people why they stopped watching and trying to get more information from people who turned away.

Once in a blue moon, I’ll tune into WWE RAW to see what’s going on but it’s the same old boring crap. WWE isn’t good anymore and the company is getting worse. Vince McMahon really needs to listen to the fans and give them what they want instead of Vince using the company to entertain himself most of the time.
There are many reasons why fans has turned their backs on WWE and I can think of 5 reasons:
Those are pretty much the main reasons why we’re all getting fed up with WWE and it’ll be nice if Vince will listen to the fans for once.
I still love professional wrestling, I just want WWE to get better like most.

I’m pretty sure Harrison never watched himself in the original Star Wars trilogy when they first came out in theater but Harrison said he saw an early screening of “The Force Awakens” and said that he loved it. When Harrison said he loves it, I think he really meant it not because he’s in it. Of course, you would think that actors would love their own movies that they star in but not always. If Harrison says it’s good then it probably is good. He wouldn’t have done the movie at all if he knew it wasn’t good.
Even though he saw “The Force Awakens” first before the rest of us, he won’t say whether or not Han Solo and Leia are married (I’m sure they are).
It’s also nice to hear that Harrison is still interested in playing Indiana Jones again even though he didn’t confirm the role yet.
There’s a lot of people in social networking criticizing Harrison and they are saying stuff about Harrison getting onto to this movie for the money. Well, if you listen to Harrison toward the end of the interview when talking about Indiana Jones, Harrison made it perfectly clear that he’s not about the money. He was never about the money when making movies ’cause he’s probably in it for the passion, ya know? Acting is what he loves doing. He’s made plenty of movies over the years where he didn’t get paid much and made movies that bombed in the box office so there’s proof that he’s not about the money at all. Once again, acting is his passion and it’s what he loves to do.
Only thing though, Harrison is talking like that Han Solo might get killed off, you can see it in his eyes that something might happen to Solo. He tried to get George Lucas to kill Han Solo off in “Return of the Jedi” but they might be using that idea for “The Force Awakens”. Will Han Solo die in “The Force Awakens”? We’ll have to wait and see. The internet better not spoil the movie for all of us if he does die, though ’cause I’m feeling those spoilers will be all over the place. *sigh*

The NBR has released their Best of list this year and they picked “Mad Max: Fury Road” as their choice for Best Film of 2015. Could it also win “Best Picture” at the Oscars as well? Anyway, I disagree with everyone saying that this is the best film ever ’cause I went and saw it myself earlier this year. I didn’t think it was all that great. Not because of all the feminism stuff that are in the movie, I didn’t like it ’cause it wasn’t a good movie. I didn’t like Tom Hardy as Mad Max.
Even though the Academy was never that friendly toward violent movies, it’s probably gonna get the nomination for Best Picture as well so expect “Mad Max: Fury Road” to pick up the most nominations.
I’m very happy that the NBR gave Sylvester Stallone the nod for “Best Supporting Actor”, though. Stallone deserves to get recognized for his acting talent. Stallone is mostly known as an action star yes but give him the right film, he can show his real acting chops. I haven’t seen “Creed” but gonna go see it on Thursday when I do my Christmas shopping.
As far as “Mad Max: Fury Road” goes, maybe I should give the film another look and maybe it’ll grow on me the second time… who knows?

The mighty, Dream Theater finally finished their next album and they just revealed the title. It will be called “The Astonishing”. It’ll be a double album too, it looks like. It also looks like it’s gonna be a concept album, kind of like the Who kind of thing where the whole album tell a story. The songs on the album looks like are gonna be stories and will have fictional characters.
While there are many tracks on the album, I’m sure most of them will be spoken word stuff telling the story and many of the songs will be just regular songs with James Labrie singing on them. It’s gonna be like a theatrical kind of album kind of like The Who “Tommy”, Pink Floyd “The Wall” and stuff like that.
I can’t wait for the next Dream Theater album as I’m sure it will be pretty epic. They’re one of my favorite bands right now as I’ve been listening to them for a pretty long time. Before the release of Apple Music streaming, I was trying to collect all of Dream Theater’s albums but since Apple Music is here… I got to listen to the rest of their discography. Dream Theater is pretty phenomenal and they’re kind of underrated. They aren’t a mainstream band when they should be.

I know “World Aid Days” has been a yearly thing since the 80’s and Obama didn’t invent “World Aids Day” but each time Dec. 1st comes, he’s all over “World Aids Day” to help bring awareness to Aids. Why do you think that is?
Do you think that Barack himself may have Aids? Whether you agree with it or not, Barack isn’t looking healthy these days and he’s looking worse. He’s gotten much skinnier and he’s been having a lot of speaking problems. His speech reading is getting worse too. Plus, each time you see him on TV or watch him do a speech… you can tell that he isn’t look too good.

Maybe Obama being sick has nothing to do with his long history of hard drugs. It definitely has something to do with his homosexual lifestyle. Whether he’s got sick ’cause of years of drug use or if he’s got AIDs, either way… you gotta admit that he isn’t looking good these days. Something is definitely wrong with the guy and the media refuses to point out whatever health problems he is having.
They don’t call him “Bone Thin Obama” for no reason. Happy Aids Day…

Carrie Fisher just made a confession that the crew behind “The Force Awakens” movie pressured her to lose weight so she can reprise her role as Princess Leia (or General Leia, just read that she’ll be a General now).
I’m sure the only reason Carrie agreed to take their request and lose the pounds is ’cause she didn’t want to lose the role. If she refused to lose the weight, they probably would have fired her. Back when she was young, she used to be really beautiful and gorgeous but she changed over the years as she got older. They wanted her to lose the weight so Leia can look young and beautiful again.
I can’t blame the crew though ’cause nobody wants to see Leia being a fat cow, ya know? They just wanted to make her appearance in the film right.
Can’t wait for the movie, though. It comes out in a couple of weeks!
