RIP: Paul Walker 1973 – 2013

I was never a big fan of the “Fast and Furious” franchise ’cause I find the franchise a bit overrated and nothing special. They all seem the same to me… just fast cars and hot women all over those films. Just your typical popcorn action films with bad writing. I didn’t see all “Fast and Furious” films but only very few of them. I did see the last “Fast and Furious” movie, “Fast 6” in a theater and I actually kind of liked that one admittedly.

With all this being said, Paul Walker’s death yesterday was tragic and a huge shock. I had a hard time believing it at first ’cause you know how “celebrity death hoaxes” are big on the internet these days. Turns out this death wasn’t a hoax at all and turned out to be real. His coroner confirmed it and so has his lawyers/publicists. He was mysteriously killed in a car crash and explosion which is kind of weird ’cause that’s something that you see in the “F & F” films.

He was a great actor though, and a talented man… I always respected him even if I wasn’t a fan of “F & F” films. He was good in other movie roles though like “Running Scared”, “Joy Ride”, and “The Lazarus Project”. Those were great films.

Now we gotta wait for official word on what’s gonna happen with “Fast and Furious 7”. They were still in the middle of filming the movie. Not sure how much Paul filmed the new film. Not sure if they plan on continuing without him. I’m sure the film makers will continue on without him ’cause I’m sure that’s what Paul would have wanted. The movie wasn’t really made for him anyway as Paul was just a co-star. Will Vin Diesel be willing to continue to make these movies without, Paul?

This is sad and tragic. Paul was a young guy, 40. Too young to go. He has a young 15 year old daughter named Meadow and this is gonna be tough on her ’cause she’s gonna have to grow up without her father now.

I think it’s a proven fact that people are more interested in reading my movie reviews more than any other topic…

Everywhere I go chances are, I’m going to get people talking to me in person — those who follow my facebook or this blog — and I often get a lot of people telling me that they love reading all of my Hollywood films and stuff. They like the info I put out there about Hollywood and they enjoy reading my reviews. I have gotten people interested in movies and TV shows ’cause they follow my facebook and my blog.

Once in a while, I get a few people who are interested in my political views and bodybuilding topics but it’s all my movie postings that are most popular.

Maybe writing about movies is what I’m best at. I even get a few people telling me I would be a great “movie critic” and could do it for a living… kind of like the next, Roger Ebert. I don’t see talking about movies as a job. I see it as a hobby and something fun to do. I’m just a big movie buff and feel the need to be more open to the public about my thoughts on film and Hollywood.

In order for me to become a movie critic and do it for a living… I would need a college degree for that, I think. Take English/grammar classes in college to improve my writing skills. I think my writing skills is pretty good but still could be a little better. I’ve been studying English/grammar on my own. Anyway, you don’t need to be a really good writer and be good at grammar to become professional at writing, anyways ’cause that’s what you hire editors for. I’m sure Roger Ebert wasn’t the best writer even though he appeared to be… I’m sure he had editors too.

Maybe my main focus should be on movies more? I’ll be doing my top 15 movies list for 2013 this year but I’m gonna wait until toward the end of the year to make the list public ’cause I’m gonna wait to see the new Hobbit movie, “Desolation of Smaug”, then I’ll post the list.

I’m just a big movie buff and love talking about them. I’ve been obsessed with films ever since I was a child. They are still a huge part of my life to this day.

I think my shyness around women is pretty much defeated!!!

I went to see EBJ at the Putnam Den last night… the show was a blast and the band played a really good set like they always do but once again, women were all over me at the show last night. I danced with 3 different women last night. 2 women approached me to dance with them and I approached one myself to dance with during a slow song. I also talked to some other women as well.

On the final song for the night, a woman approached me to dance with her and even though it definitely looked like that she has a boyfriend/husband or something… he was real cool to let her dance with me.

One woman that I was dancing with was really hammered and didn’t know what she was doing but she was still fun!!!!

The slow dance with that other woman wasn’t just a regular slow dance… it was a romantic one actually!

On my way out the door after the show got over with… I went to pick up my coat that I had to pay for to hang up and the lady who gave me my coat back was real gorgeous looking so I decided to tell her that. I said to her, “You look gorgeous btw, I like that dress you’re wearing”. See? I gave her a great compliment and I really meant it that she was gorgeous, she had a nice dress on. She was smiling from ear to ear after I said it and she said, “Thank You”, so I think I just made her day.

I told two women to their face that she was “Gorgeous” and “beautiful” last night.

I’m practicing and working on my confidence… and it’s working. The dating advice from those youtube videos that I watched really works! Confidence is key to getting women… no other way around it. I saw one video where one guy said, “In order to eliminate shyness, just go and do it… the shyness will go away”. This guy was right. I tried it and it really worked.

I think I’ve got it with the women, guys! I’m beginning to see that maybe women do find me good looking and attractive! To attract women on dance floors, just look like you’re having a great time and they’ll approach you! This makes me want to start hitting the nightclubs like maybe Vapor in Saratoga Springs to see what kind of chicks I attract there.

Now I gotta start getting their phone numbers and asking them out on dates. Next goal. See that? I’m actually doing something about the women thing. If I keep it up, I could get myself a nice girlfriend before you know it!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Enjoy yourselves!

Thanks Nippertown!!!!

Just wanted to give a quick thanks to Greg of Nippertown. ALL of my posts about “The Jammy’s” made this popular local music blog.

Check it out, here.

If my posts made Nippertown… then I must be doing something right.

I’m just doing it out of love Capital District! I love local music and believe in it… would hate to see the music scene get ruined by egomaniacs trying to get more attention. They just need to get out of this area and go away. Just want you all to watch out who to trust around here ’cause not everyone around here is your friend. Remember that.

Killing rumors…

There’s a nasty rumor going around that some certain people said that I’ve been sending TierOneTalent a bunch of hateful and harassing e-mails… and they even accused me of mailing a harassing letter by regular mail to him. It’s NOT me. Don’t believe any of it as all of it’s just false accusations. It’s just that this guy has been getting a lot of hate mail from people complaining that his Jammy award show was nothing but a disaster. Like I said, this guy can’t take criticism of any kind. He’s been sending all the hate mail to the police and I heard they even thought about turning me in. Those hate mails were NOT from me at all. They have no proof of it and it would be hard to prove.

Dude…. people have all their right to talk shit about your dumb award show… get over it and take it like an adult. The police won’t do anything about them anyway.

Just proves my point that the people behind The Jammy’s can’t be trusted whatsoever.

This area actually promotes local music negatively… not positively…

This area thinks they are promoting local music, “positively” but from what I’m seeing… they aren’t. They never had and they never will. How??? Let me explain…

It’s not only jealousy or ego… it’s always been about “cliques” around here. It’s just different groups of musicians trying to promote their little community of musician friends. That’s all it is around here pretty much. It seems that musicians only support musicians with talent and think they have something. They only support the ones who are “professional”. It’s all about supporting their musician friends in this area. It’s all about promoting their friends and trying to get them recognized. They ignore the musicians around here who think that don’t matter. There are plenty of talented musicians who are struggling around the area who are being left out of these guys. Musicians around here can be pretty opinionated and “negative” when they come across musicians who they think are untalented (like myself, for example).

I’m not trying to defend myself… even if I’m a struggling musician… (am proud of what I do, I work hard and try my best to get myself out there)… I’m just saying that there are tons of talent around here that are getting ignored by the area. This area doesn’t care about struggling musicians trying to break into the music scene.

What I’m saying is that this area has always been a popularity contest… period… end of story. It’s not just that award show… it’s always been a popularity contest all around. This area is about trying to get their name known instead of supporting musicians of all levels and talent.

I hosted my own acoustic shows in the past at Caffe Lena, Slow Jed’s, and Valentine’s back in 2006-7. At those shows, they were never about “cliques” or trying to promote a musical community of friends. Those shows were just a good ol’ time. Just a bunch of musicians getting together and play each other songs that we wrote. It didn’t matter if they were professional or amateur musicians. It didn’t matter if they were established or not. It didn’t matter if they sucked musically as well. I welcomed all on those gigs of mine in the past. That’s HOW you treat local music positively folks. Supporting it all. No egos. Keeping our negative opinions to ourselves and just enjoying ourselves playing on the stage.

If you want to promote local music positively we should all get together and welcome all talent (even me). Nope. Nobody wants to promote local music like that. In this day and age it’s about becoming a big rock star with these people.

This area promotes local music, “positively”??? HA!!!!!!!!! KISS MY ASS!!!

This area has always been a negative music scene.

Inspirational quote by John Lennon…

I totally agree with, John!

What he said reminds me of myself which I had to re-share this in facebook and now I’m re-sharing this here on my site.

Don’t believe people when they make claims that your honesty or negativity won’t make you any friends. It’s bullshit!

Your honesty may not be for everyone but you’ll still get people who will respect you for it. While my honesty online over the years have been controversial, I have made new friends and fans out of it. People stuck with me and believed in me. Trust me, I’ve met some pretty cool people out of it.

If people don’t like your honesty and no longer your friend ’cause of it… that means they never believed in you after all that time. When people stick with you and new people believe in you, they are the right friends.

While my honesty maybe tough and brutal… I have a lot of people out there who respect me for that, and I’m grateful. Seriously!
