Acapella singing…

As some of you probably noticed by now in my Pete Seeger tribute, I did a little acapella singing in the beginning of “This Land Is Your Land”. Honestly, I was a little nervous putting that out there ’cause I was worried of the kind of feedback I was gonna get with my singing without an instrument accompanying it. It seems that people seem to be enjoying it. In facebook, it’s gotten several likes and on youtube the video went straight up to about 40 views pretty quickly.

After the positive feedback, I think I’m definitely gonna do more acapella singing. I hardly ever did acapella singing in the past so I decided to give it a try. Thing is, if you can sing okay without an instrument and do it well, then you can sing.

While I think my singing has gotten better, I still have work to do though. The key to singing better is getting the head voice, the buzzing sensation… if you feel that vibration in your head, then you got it. Getting all of that sound out. My goal is to sing high. I would like to try and become a screamer too. This stuff takes practice and hard work. My vocals used to get criticized negatively in the past but these days, I haven’t seen anybody say anything negative about my singing so it’s going good.

Acapella singing is fun so I think I’m gonna do more of it.

One thing I forgot to bring up about Barack’s, “SOTU”… about the Cory Remsburg standing ovation…

While my heart goes out to that poor soldier, Cory Remsburg, you’ve got to admit that was the shadiest thing that Barack has done at the “SOTU” last night. Why? Simply because Barack used Cory as a prop. He used him as a prop to get a standing ovation. Since Barack has had a bad presidency for the past year or so, this was Barack’s way of saying… “Now look, I’m gonna give a soldier some love, now respect me”. That’s what it was all about. Barack using Cory to jerk himself off with. Also, Barack didn’t need to tell that whole story of how Cory was injured during battle ’cause I’m willing to bet Cory didn’t want to be reminded of that, ya know? Don’t get me wrong, though, what Cory went through was very sad and heartbreaking but Barack didn’t need to do that. Barack only did that to try and redeem himself and get the respect back that he lost. That’s all he did it for. Barack did it to help get peoples minds of all the controversies like NSA, IRS, Benghazi, etc.

Just wanted to bring this up since I forgot to bring up the Cory Remsburg thing last night.

Motley Crue done??? I wouldn’t take their so called retirement seriously… yet…

Today, the legendary 80’s hair metal rockers, Motley Crue, famous for songs like “Dr. Feelgood”, “Girls Girls Girls”, etc. just announced a pretty lengthy farewell tour w/ Alice Cooper opening. After they finish their tour, the band claims they’re done completely.

Sorry but these guys are full of shit and I don’t buy their “retirement” one single bit.

Usually when legendary bands & artists announce retirement publicly… they usually make huge comebacks years later. Look how many times Kiss have done that? It’s hard to take “retirement” from bands/artists seriously these days. Why? It’s because of their huge egos… they all wanna make that “huge comeback” so they can sell more tickets to their shows.

Motley Crue is a great band though, I’ve always dug ’em.

Don’t take “retirement” seriously. They’ll be back… they always come back.

Live “SOTU” commentary on twitter tonight…

I don’t think I’m gonna video tape myself watching the SOTU. I think doing it live on twitter would be better. Thing is youtube is strict on copyright when it comes to TV so I don’t think I’ll do it. If you want to see commentary on SOTU tonight. Keep an eye on my twitter, and I’ll be doing my usual Obama trash talking on there.

My twitter, here….

I’ll be tweeting while watching the Obama SOTU, probably making fun of it.

Will Obama give a confession and resign tonight???

“The sotu is tonight. I submit that instead of telling more lies and blaming Bush, Fox News, white racists, and Rush Limbaugh, obama should walk to the podium with his head hung low and tell the nation: “‘I have lied and deceived you since my first day seeking political office. I have done my level best to “‘fundamentally change America'” into a socialist state. My wife has arrogantly flaunted her disrespect for you in your faces. Everything we have done has been for ulterior purposes. Following the example of President Nixon, I hereby announce that I will surrender my position immediately.” Then he should be led away in leg irons and shackles. Anything short of that will be more outright lies. And watching democrats jump up and down like bobble-head dolls applauding him will be almost as offensive as watching the republicans who refuse stop him sit there and scowl.” – Mychal Massie 

——————————————————————————————————–

This quote was stolen from conservative writer and activist, Mychal Massie. Look him up, he’s an interesting guy.

Is that’s what’s gonna happen tonight? Will Barack give a confession to all of his crimes and lies over the years? Give himself up and turn himself into authorities? It would be amazing and that would be worth watching the SOTU speech for is a big confession from Barack but you know he’s never gonna do that.

I’m willing to bet he’s going to say tonight that he vows to finish his 2nd term and he’s probably gonna play innocent victim tonight. He’s probably gonna attack Republicans/Conservatives like crazy and play the blame game.

It would be amazing as hell if he did that but obviously it won’t happen. Barack really should give himself up, though because he doesn’t realize what kind of trouble is coming up for him.

Yes, I know all about the “State of the Union”… quit acting like I don’t know anything about it…

I like how a few of you act like I don’t know what a “State of the Union” address is when it’s pretty clear that you guys don’t know what it is. The purpose of the SOTU is that a president must have a speech informing the nation how the U.S. is doing from the past year or so. Then he must discuss his plans and future goals on how he’s going to fix his problems and stuff. So it’s obvious, he’s gonna have to address all of his past controversies tonight like: Obamacare, NSA, Benghazi, etc.

Again, not sure if he will bring up Benghazi or not… I wouldn’t be surprised if he totally ignores Benghazi completely, though.

Once again, don’t be surprised if you see a lot of angry Republicans heckling him in the audience… they could all even walk out in the middle of the speech and I hope they do. I’m expecting Ted Cruz to react in some way.

Don’t be surprised if Obama gets a lot of boos instead of people clapping.

It’s obvious he’s going to be talking about himself most of the time instead of talking about how he’s going to fix America. All he’s gonna do is lie and bullshit you around. Will a lot of people tune in to watch? I’m feeling this will be the lowest rated SOTU in TV history.

In response to Quentin Tarantino leaked script controversy…

Well, I’m sure you’re wondering my thoughts on this whole Quentin Tarantino leaked script controversy that’s been all over the news well here it is. To start things off,  here’s what’s going on… Tarantino says that a script to his latest film, “The Hateful Eight” which is supposedly to be another Western got leaked to the internet on a website called Gawker after the director gave the script to a few of his actor friends. Tarantino has been upset and depressed since this happened. He now filed a lawsuit against Gawker just recently. That’s what is going on I believe? He now shelved the project and is now thinking about turning “The Hateful Eight” into a book instead of a movie.

Of course, all of Tarantino’s fans back him for this. I see his fans commenting and they’re like, “don’t mess with Tarantino” and stuff like that but to be honest, I’m actually neutral on this one. Why?

Mostly because this was all Quentin’s fault. If he didn’t want his script out there then he shouldn’t have given it to anybody to begin with. When you write a movie script or a book or any project, you keep it for yourself and not give it to anybody especially to people you don’t know well and can’t trust, ya know? Quentin brought all of this upon himself. You can see that he doesn’t want to admit that this was his own fault and now he’s blaming it on the website, Gawker ’cause he knows it would be a big money making opportunity for him.

Quentin is one of my favorite film directors of all time, I love ALL of his movies but I think the guy is an asshole sometimes. I’m sure he learned from his mistakes out of this one though, and I’m sure he’ll never give out his scripts to anyone again. If he doesn’t want any of his future scripts leaked then he should keep them hidden in a safe place. The internet is a big thing these days and leaks has been happening a lot throughout the entertainment industry.

In defense of Dave Batista winning the Royal Rumble last night…

So last night was not only the Grammy Awards, there was also a WWE ppv last night called the Royal Rumble where 30 men fight in the ring at the same time. You’ve probably heard of the Royal Rumble before and know what the rules are right? Last man standing in the ring is the winner. The winner ended up being Dave Batista aka The Animal who is known as a heel/badguy kind of wrestler.

I didn’t watch the ppv since I don’t watch WWE anymore and I heard when the 30 man Rumble match got over with Batista got pretty strong boos from the crowd. Batista is a pretty big guy… large muscles and all. Google him. Batista came back from the WWE after a long hiatus ’cause he wanted to start a movie career and he’s been in a few major films already.

Sure enough the whole internet of the wrestling community is mad that Batista won the Rumble. To be honest, I think it’s a good choice and he deserved to win and be a huge part of Wrestlemania. I liked Batista. He’s a good performer and one of the best wrestling bad guys out there, in my opinion. He has good mic skills. He’s a bad guy that you love to hate.

The thing with WWE is they love to give the bad guy wrestlers a huge push. That’s what they did with CM Punk, Triple H, and Randy Orton when they were heels. They gave them so much screen time and gave the bad guy wrestlers the opportunity to win all the big ppvs. This is just Vince’s thing, ya know? Personally, I find the bad guy wrestlers more entertaining than the good guys. If WWE is pissing a lot of fans off even the smart fans, then they are doing their jobs. That’s what heel wrestlers are supposed to do. Piss off the fans. They’ve been doing this stuff for years. Pushing the bad guys to the extremes.

Bad guys in professional wrestling is all part of entertainment. If there were no bad guy wrestlers, then professional wrestling would be boring as hell and nobody would care if everybody were good guys. There are even bad guys in all fighting sports like MMA and boxing (like Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather Jr., perfect examples) as well.

Yes, bad guys in WWE are just a storyline but that’s the thing a lot  of people in this day and age mistakenly wants to believe that everything in WWE is real. That’s how the WWE wants to make you think. They control your mind and they want you to believe what they do is real. They don’t believe in the “fake” word.

I stopped watching WWE not because the bad guys keep getting pushed… I stopped watching ’cause the story lines were getting really bad and didn’t like the direction they’re headed into but with this Batista thing, I’m thinking about watching again, not sure. Sounds like an interesting wrestling angle they’re doing.

I never took what WWE did seriously ’cause I know it’s just a show. If I want to cheer on the bad guys and support them, I’ll have no problem doing just that. The heel wrestlers put on a better show than the good guys, anyways. I haven’t been watching for at least a year now and feel good about it.

More on tomorrow’s “State of the Union” speech…

So tomorrow night’s “State of the Union” speech with Barack Obama is the most talked about topic in various political forums in facebook. The “SOTU” address has been talked about a lot over the weekend.  I can understand why ’cause of all controversies of Barack over the years in his presidency. In certain political forums in facebook, I’m reading a lot of comments where people are saying that he should announce resignation. There are pretty well-known government officials like Senator Ted Cruz and others begging for Obama to explain his actions or even apologize. I understand peoples feelings.

I don’t think Obama is going to apologize to anything or announce a step-down from office. It WILL be amazing as hell if Barack finally admitted he was bad and announced his resignation in front of a lot of people but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Barack won’t apologize for anything either.

All this asshole is gonna do is defend himself throughout the whole thing. He will think he’s right on everything he’s doing no matter the situation. I agree he deserves us an explanation for all the controversies in the past like Obamacare, NSA, IRS, Benghazi, Operation: F&F, etc. but you know he’s going to be horrible at his explanations. It’ll be worthless. All Barack is gonna do tomorrow night is lie his head off so you can’t be taking what he says seriously at all.

Even if he did apologized for his actions… it’ll be unacceptable anyways ’cause he’s a traitor to America.

People are even begging him for an explanation of Benghazi as well. I’m not sure if he will bring Benghazi up or not. He might a little bit or never at all. It’ll be amazing if he’ll give up on Benghazi and confessed that he was responsible to the whole world on TV but I don’t think he’ll do that either. He knows that’ll get him in trouble. However, if he does start talking about Benghazi tomorrow watch him closely as he speaks. Look at his eyes and his mouth and you can tell that he’s lying and that he was responsible for the Benghazi attacks. You’ll see it in his eyes. Although, it would be nice if he talked about Benghazi, the truth, you know it’s not gonna happen. Benghazi probably won’t be the focus tomorrow.

The focus will probably be mostly on Obamacare and NSA. The stuff that’s all over the news.

Barack won’t talk about Benghazi ’cause he’s trying to keep that story off the media.

Like I said, it’ll be awesome if Barack admits all of his mistakes and crimes but I don’t think he’s going to. He’ll defend himself through everything.

I’m sure a lot of Americans will tune in tomorrow night even if nobody likes him anymore just to hear what he has to say but you know his speech will be no different than all of his other speeches in his past. Just a bunch of bullshit. That’s all he’s gonna do. Bullshit ya around. Don’t expect an explanation or apology of any kind from Barack. All he’s gonna do is talk about himself most of the time.

He’s a son of a bitch who needs to be out of office and in jail. Every second, every hour, and every day passes and he’s still in office. Nothing’s been done to him.

Tomorrow’s SOTU will be interesting though. I’ll watch it even though it will be the same old boring stuff from Barack.
