Metallica to headline this year’s Glastonbury…

Leave a comment

Metallica have played every continent around the world (that includes Antarctica) and they have played all major music festivals but the only major festival they haven’t played yet was the legendary Glastonbury Festival. Metallica is officially booked to headline the Pyramid stage.

I love Metallica and all but I wish this band would switch up their set list. Don’t they ever get tired of playing the same greatest hits at every gig? That’s all their shows seem like. Their shows seems like a greatest hits album… all of the time. “Enter Sandman”, “Nothing Else Matters”, “Master of Puppets” etc. The same songs at pretty much every gig. The band have plenty of obscure songs they hardly ever play live and I wish they would start playing that stuff too.

I’m sure they’ll still put on a killer set at Glastonbury, though. Metallica never stops touring. They tour all year-round non-stop pretty much. I don’t see them stopping any time soon. Motley Crue may have given it up but Metallica will go on even longer.  Metallica will keep playing until they can’t.

Finally, we don’t get a rap artist headlining a festival for once!

Get ’em Trey Gowdy!!!

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/house-gop-moves-establishing-benghazi-probe-23628550

Trey will show those liberals/democrats that 4 deaths is no phony scandal. Benghazi was the real deal and it matters ’cause Ambassador Stevens was an important figure to our country.

I’m willing to bet that it’s gonna turn out that Benghazi was a gun running operation and they killed Ambassador Stevens ’cause he knew about it and he was going to report to the military about it to stop it from happening. That’s why the Obama administration never sent military help ’cause if the military went there to save lives… they would’ve discovered that a gun running operation was going on. That is why that Navy Seal who was one of the 4 was killed there ’cause he knew about the gun running operation too. Those 4 guys tried to defend us ’cause they knew about the gun running operation. The left should be treating them like heroes but instead the left treats them negatively and they don’t care a bit.

It’ll also turn out that Ambassador Stevens was beaten, raped, sodomized and paraded around town by Muslim people… there’s photos and youtube footage of that all over google showing that incident where Muslims were carrying Chris Stevens. They weren’t taking him to a hospital at all.

As expected, Trey Gowdy is getting a lot of death threats from liberals which is predictable. I pray for his safety and praying that he gets to the truth without getting himself killed by angry liberals or the Obama administration. Trey could get assassinated if he got too close to the truth and I hope nothing like that happens to him. I mean, isn’t that how Ambassador Stevens got killed ’cause he knew too much? Same thing could happen to Trey Gowdy. Trey could be next on Obama’s “mysteriously killed” list. Lets hope nothing like that happens.

Liberals and democrats really need to stop protecting criminals. They do it for their own political agenda and to help save their careers. Liberals are scared of Obama going to jail. It’s fucking nuts, man. If they want to support their murderer president, by all means, go for it. I really can’t wait to see how liberals are going to respond once the full truth finally comes out. Be ready for this one folks.

I’ll keep the Benghazi comments open but I’ll continue to delete your shit if I don’t like what you post.

Sen. Ted Cruz’s .pdf document makes Obama look like a tyrant…

Sen. Ted Cruz may not be everyone’s favorite but the senator just dropped this document and it’s creating a big buzz in the political world. This list of laws that Obama broke over the years pretty much sums up everything I’ve been saying about him… check it out here…

Good stuff. I’m glad they didn’t neglect the raiding of Gibson guitars which Obama was also responsible for.

We really need to do something about Obama. Wake up, America! He’s no king or hero like some mistakenly think he is. You don’t know a lot about this man like you think you do.

Fitness nutrition…

5 Comments

I’m not the best at fitness nutrition admittedly but I am getting much better with it. Do I feel guilty eating the wrong things sometimes? No. Not at all. It’s called learning and experimenting. It’s a learning skill when it comes to fitness nutrition. So when you make a mistake by eating the wrong things, you shouldn’t feel guilty about it. Bodybuilding and fitness doesn’t necessarily have to be treated like a religion. Meals don’t always have to be 100% strict all the time!!! It’s good to add in the calories, build in those pounds and that’ll help get more muscle gains.

I have been eating more strict this year, though. You don’t want to have low carb only diets ’cause it’s pretty risky and dangerous. You want to mix it up with proteins, healthy carbs, fibers, and healthy fats. Which I do. What meals have healthy fats? I’d recommend avocado on that one. I eat avocado sometimes and it’s very good!

While I have a pretty good six pack going, I could lower the body fat some more so I can make the six pack show even more. I’ve been eating a lot cleaner and doing plenty of cardio throughout this year. Yes, I even did some cardio throughout the fall/winter outside… gotta have my cardio.

For breakfast… I would have either egg whites or oatmeal. Sometimes cereal like Special K when I don’t feel like cooking anything in the morning but I think I’m going to avoid cereal completely now.

For lunch, I would have sandwiches like tuna or beef/smoked turkey breast sandwiches with mustard instead of mayonaise. You don’t want to use mayonaise ’cause it’s too fatty. Using mustard is a good substitute. In the beginning, I’ll admit that I used a lot of mayonaise but I think I am going to avoid that as much as possible. Sometimes I would have chicken breasts and fish for lunch which I’m starting to have more this year.

For dinner is mostly clean… I would mostly have meats with protein, vegetables and stuff. I eat a lot of fish too. Only weekends, I would eat whatever I want. Weekends only, I would have take out dinners like Chinese or pizza. It’s good to have your weekend cheat meals.

For late night snack… I’d have fruit like a banana, apples, avocado, almonds (yes, almonds are healthy), etc. I’m starting to get better with late night snack. You don’t want to avoid junk snacks completely though. Again, cheat meals are VERY useful. I’d have Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at night on the weekends only for cheat meals.

You still wanna have your cheat meals but don’t overdo it too much. Only in moderation, it’s okay. On top of that, nobody wants to eat healthy all of the time and nothing wrong with enjoying yourself once in a while, it won’t hurt. 🙂 Cheat meals can help add more calories and lbs. and you can lose it later.

My diet is mostly clean but still needs improvements though but will get worked on. You just gotta watch what you eat and take it very seriously. I’ve been doing that a lot. If you don’t agree with certain food, you don’t have to eat it. Just substitute it for something healthier. That’s what I’ve been doing a lot lately.

I think I’ll get more strict with my meals throughout the Spring/Summer and the Fall/Winter seasons too.

Throwback Thursday: Obama’s rose garden speech and other speeches on Benghazi…

Here’s the Throwback Thursday that I was talking about yesterday. I thought I’d remind y’all about Obama’s Rose Garden speech about Benghazi. This is pretty much the only reason why Obama is getting blamed for the attacks of Benghazi.

Watch his rose garden speech first in the video below and then watch the other videos. As you can see, he’s clearly changing his story on Benghazi around. He’s trying to re-write history. I watched the rose garden speech more than enough times and NEVER ONCE did he say that Benghazi was an “Act of Terror”. In his later speeches and presidential debates, he’s calling it an “Act of Terror” when he never said that at all during the rose garden speech. He’s just lying and making stuff up as he goes along as you can see.

If you watch the rose garden speech pretty carefully, take a look at Hillary. Notice how she looks very tired and sleepy? She had to be up all night during the attack was going on and look at President Obama in the rose garden video. He definitely had to be in bed during the attack was going on ’cause notice how he looks like he’s full of energy, rested up, and not as sleepy??? Watch President Obama’s mouth when he speaks, you can tell he’s lying all the way. You can see it in his eyes and he’s looking nervous as he speaks.

Obama promised about two years ago that he would get to the bottom of Benghazi and get those held accountable but sure enough… here we are about two years later and still not a damn fucking thing has been done about Benghazi.

Well, it’s time that we’ll do something about it ourselves. We’re moving forward with the investigations. If he won’t tell us the truth, then we’ll get the truth ourselves and that’s what we’re gonna do. That’s what Trey Gowdy is gonna do.

I don’t see how you can believe in Obama’s lies everyone. You trust everything Obama says so easily and it’s very sad to see. We’re gonna get to the bottom of Benghazi and I think the full truth will come out this year.

Throwback Thursdays rant…

So the internet is obsessed with “Throwback Thursdays”. Social Networking on facebook/twitter is all over it. It’s a day where people would post something about their past like a photo or a video or whatever.

However, “Throwback Thursday” don’t really have to be about yourself. It can be your favorite song or movie from the past or just about anything.

I tried to join the “Throwback Thursday” bandwagon for a little but I find it kind of lame. To post things about your past and post it all for the world to see. I’ll probably stop posting stuff from my past ’cause I don’t have a lot of material from the past, honestly. I like to keep my past private and personal as you can all see. If you want to know more about my past, feel free to talk to me privately in person and if I know you well-enough, I may tell you a lot about my past. Isn’t that how it used to be before the day and age of social networking? Ya know, make some friends and tell each other about their past so they can know each other well? It seems like in this day and age of social networking you already know quite a lot with everyone even if you haven’t even met the person, lol. Crazy. Probably because they get so addicted with putting their whole life publicly for the world to see.

That’s why you don’t see me with an Iphone taking selfies of myself everywhere like a lot of people do. I have a cell-phone that can do that but I don’t bother with that stuff. Honestly, I’m a pretty private guy. When I’m out in public places like at a store or at the mall or something, I don’t need to be looking down at a screen the whole time ’cause it would be too distracting. I wanna be a part of this world, man. Not get taken over by technology and by the internet.

Hell, maybe I’ll post a pic of myself as a little kid sometime, that’s about all. I don’t feel comfortable with bringing everything up about my past. Like I said, if you want to know more about my past… become my friend and you’ll know more. Can’t be that hard, right?

Anyway, I’ll get back to Throwback Thursday tomorrow but it won’t be about myself. It’s going to be about national music, movies, politics, etc.

I got a special something planned for tomorrow’s Throwback Thursday and I’m not giving it away. It’ll be a big time reminder to y’all about a certain something. Get the hint? I’ll post it first thing tomorrow morning. Gonna be big!!!! 🙂

Why I think the USA will finally wake up about Obama once the truth comes out of Benghazi…

So the Benghazi investigation is finally moving forward which is LONG overdue. We definitely need this and I think this is good for America. It’s going to be a long and tough investigation for sure but I think Congressman Gowdy will be successful at getting to the bottom of Benghazi. Why? Because the guy is a former prosecutor. He has so much experience with law and that’s why he gets so tough and brutal. That’s where he gets it from.

I know how Democrats and liberals don’t want to wake up about Benghazi. They don’t wanna believe that their hero President maybe responsible. I’m not gonna bash liberals in this post this time but all I want from democrats/liberals out there is to wake up and unite. I think they will once the truth comes out of Benghazi.

There have to be something that the White House is covering up. It’s not about the death of those 4 Americans, that’s not what they’re trying to cover up at all. It is something else. Something much deeper and more scarier. Benghazi was a gun running operation like I’ve been saying for months and months now. If that turns out to be the truth, if that gets proven during the upcoming hearings… then that should absolutely finish Obama. I think all the democrats/liberals who once supported him after all this time will think to themselves, “We regretted supported this man. Maybe the republicans were right that Obama is an evil and dangerous man.” It is possible that Benghazi was a gun running operation, the Obama administration sending guns to Muslim brotherhood or the Syrian rebels. Obama sending guns to our enemies and terrorists.

That is why there were so much lying and cover-ups. They were trying to cover up a gun running operation. If it turns out to be the truth that Benghazi was a gun running operation, then that would also show their guilt for Operation: F&F too.

I really do think GOOD things will come out of Benghazi once it’s all over. Everyone in America will finally wake-up about Obama and Americans will finally be on my side about him after all the things I’ve said about him over the years.

If it turns out that Obama has been running guns to terrorists and if liberals continue to side with him, there is something wrong with this country for sure. I don’t think that will happen, though. I really do think liberals will TURN THEIR BACKS on him once the truth finally comes out. They will finally realize that Obama really is extremely evil and dangerous. That’s when both sides liberals and conservatives will unite — beg for impeachment and arrest. I truly believe that will happen.

After Obama is caught with Benghazi, maybe liberals will be more careful on who they vote for, next time around? That includes Hillary, liberals will turn their backs on her too if she’s found guilty of Benghazi.

Benghazi shouldn’t be about politics. It’s about patriotism. When liberals don’t care, that is not patriotic. I know they care for our country like the rest of us but they need to show it by joining us and helping us get the truth but nope. Liberals are so blind and one-sided. It’s crazy, man.

We gotta get rid of this administration ’cause as long as Obama’s still in office, he’ll continue to send guns to our enemies.

Wake up, America. The time will come when you will. I just know it.

Why you never let people in the music scene think they’re better than you…

Leave a comment

For many years, I’ve always had a problem of people being critical of myself. I get negatively criticized by musicians, promoters, club owners and even non-musicinas. When you want to play your music, get yourself out there by promoting yourself on the internet… releasing your music and playing your gigs — you’re gonna get all kinds of opinionated people coming after you. When you want to get yourself into the world of local musicians you gotta be ready for musicians with huge egos and horrible attitudes ’cause they’re gonna be all over the place. Gotta be ready for all kinds of jealousy going around.

You see, musicians who think they’re “successful” and established in this area, that’s when a lot of them are gonna think they’re better than you. If they think they’re talented, they’re gonna think they’re better than you. The last thing you wanna do is let them think they’re better than you. Before their success and popularity, they were all cool and nothing wrong with them but once musicians become “successful” their egos would go sky-high. I’m not afraid to say it. I’ve dealt with too many musicians who think they’re the “shit” over the years, trust me on that. Not naming names, ya know?

That’s the last thing you wanna do. I don’t care how successful and big you are. Congrats on your success in music but it’s how you treat your success. I am my own worst critic. I don’t think I’m popular/successful at all and I don’t think I’m all that talented even though people try to tell me these things sometimes.

My point being is that you must be down to earth and humble if you want to earn more respect in the music community. Leave your ego at the door. You can do that by never acknowledging your success and popularity. Still act like you’re nothing. I’ve grown tired of musicians who think they’re the shit. That’s kind of why I stopped writing music reviews on local bands ’cause when they write me asking me to write a review on something, they expect me to write a “positive review” praising the hell out of them so they can have something to jerk themselves off with. I’ve had it. So I stopped doing the reviews for that reason. I still review local bands once in a while but only if I like their music.

Musicians can be crazy whack jobs, man. They really can be. I’m not afraid to say it. I speak from experience over the years.

If you want to play music and be a part of the music community successfully and positively here’s a few tips of advice: 1) Never trust anybody 2) Never take sides and always stay neutral 3) Only worry about yourself and your own music 4) Don’t give a fuck about anybody 5) Stop trying to please everyone.

Be flattered with all the criticism you get. In my opinion, when you get so many people criticizing you that’s gotta say something about your music and talent, right? I think it’s because they know that you’re talented musically and they’ll never admit it. Just my opinion, though.

As I approach my 40’s, I’m starting to notice that my taste in music is slowly changing…

5 Comments

Over the years of my life, I’ve always been into metal and rock n’ roll. It was pretty much the only genre I listened to ever since I was a kid. When I was young, I was heavily into stuff like Twisted Sister, Sammy Hagar solo, Bruce Springsteen (I’ve been a lifelong Springsteen fan and still am, btw), the Talking Heads, The Clash, Jethro Tull, Billy Joel, etc. As I got older into my high school years, I started to get into the new grunge movement around that time. Of course, I first discovered Nirvana and all the rest of the grunge bands in the 90’s like Soundgarden, Alice N’ Chains, Pearl Jam, STP, etc. In my teen years, I started to get into pop and rap a little bit. I also tried to get into country over the years too. While I liked a lot of country artists… I’ve always found that Johnny Cash has always been my favorite.

I’ve always been a hard rock and metal fan… still am too in a way. I don’t like the death metal/black metal stuff where there’s a lot of screaming and growling, that genre has never been my thing. I just like regular heavy metal with real singing stuff like Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Sabbath, etc. That’s the kind of metal I like.

Today, I’m noticing that my taste in music is starting to change again. I’ve gotten into a lot of instrumental music lately. I’ve also gotten heavily into the Allman Brothers as you can see so I guess I’m heading to the blues, jazz, and acoustic music mostly. Today, I just bought two albums from Rodrigo Y Gabriela and an album by jazz guitarist Al Di Meola. I’ve been wanting to get into Al Di Meola for a long while ’cause I’ve read so much about him through Guitar World over the years. The album I got from Al Di Meola was “Elegant Gypsy” an older album of his. If I like it enough, I’ll get some more of his albums.

I listen to albums. Not just songs. I listen to albums like a piece of art. A lot of people would only select one or two of their favorite songs to get for their Ipod but not me. I never listened to music that way. I’m a full album kind of guy. That’s how you wanna listen to music. I know a good album when I hear one.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ll always love metal and rock n’ roll. I’ll NEVER turn my back from those two genres but as I get older, I start to listen to other things like more blues, jazz, fusion, etc. Instrumental music with great guitar playing. I love listening to that stuff. Instrumental guitar music. The Allman Brothers did that a lot too. They did more instrumental music than songs with vocals and that’s one of the reasons why I respect the hell out of them so much.

That’s what happens as you get older. Your taste in music slowly changes. That is what’s happening to me.

I wanna get into more jazz as for more inspiration for my own guitar playing. I wanna listen to those guys how they play their lead guitar solos as a way to improve my own. If I want to become a better lead guitar player, I figure listening to a lot of jazz would help me. So I think I’m gonna get into jazz and instrumental guitar music more.

Al Di Meola gets a lot of praise from metal guitarists especially from Zakk Wylde so I think I’m gonna get into Di Meola’s music myself. I’ve been watching Al Di Meola’s live performances in youtube quite a lot so I think I’m gonna start getting his studio albums now.

How Trey Gowdy got the position as chairman for Benghazi select committee…

Benghazi is no phony scandal and the Obama administration being behind it is NOT conspiracy theory either you ignorant lunatics. You really need to stop helping to protect the president. This is why I hate liberalism. They are pretty loyal to their own party and they will side with every liberal politician no matter the situation. Liberalism is almost like a damn cult. Liberals lie just as bad as the Obama administration.

Liberals will still support the President even if there’s video evidence of him proving his guilt.

Like it or not, Trey Gowdy will be the man to get the job done. Watch these videos and learn. This guy doesn’t fuck around for sure. He’s gonna do anything to get the truth. He doesn’t care how brutal he gets.
