divided we stand

Now.......I'm sure we all realize the difference of republicans and democrats. But, why is it that.....when one person from another party is tryin to make change (ie Obama), the otherside needs to go above and beyond and disagree. There's no hiding the fact that things aren't good right now. It's a well documented fact. What that means to me is, now isn't the time for people to be arguin over crap and goin against the grain. If somebody is tryin to do things for the greater good, then get behind that person and help them. Especially.....especially if you don't have any damn ideas yourself. This gives me a reason to dislike those rich republicans lol. I mean, sure Obama wants to spend money, but it's for US. All the spending is for US to get money to spend and stimulate the economy, so to speak. But, who get's a higher taxes? People who make over $250,000 a year. Guess what most of those heartless republicans make, over that. If I was them would I be happy. God no. But i'd know this has to happen for the greater good of the country. And I sure as hell wouldn't talk trash about the man on national tv. If they asked me what I thought about the whole thing i'd say, "it's not about me, it's about what needs to be done". Like Obama or not, we as people need to support him and let the man do his work..........unless somebody has a better idea.....and no it's not tax cuts.

It just hit me.....hard...really hard

I thought I was over this...but...apparently I'm not. As I'm sittin at home on a Saturday afternoon......I looked at my amp...and guitars...effects pedals and what not....and it really hit me........I'm not in a band anymore. I mean, I KNOW I'm not in a band but.....it's to the point where it..... feels awkward. Even though we didn't practice since the beginning of the year, there was always that hope of, maybe next, maybe next week, maybe next week. But now.......end of the road.
I have never really been the one who......let things get to me, I try my hardest not to take anything personal......but for some reason.....something just wont let me let this go. Initially, I thought I'd just be....sad for a few days. But it's left a void in me. I haven't even played guitar since that day, until Thursday. I've never willingly NOT played for that long. It's almost like...my passion for music stayed with the band, while I parted ways.....but I've found it again. It's almost like a bad break-up lol.....gotta get a rebound band that I wont love lol.
But, atleast I don't have any body around to hold back MY ideas....so, in a way, I feel free. Well....God's closed this door for me, to find the next door God has opened for me.

if you know about superheros a bit, this'll tickle the funny bone a bit

SO....today at work, i was havin a conversation with one of my co-workers. The main theme of the conversation was temptations and how many people dont have the willpower to over-come those temptations. I said (and this is true about me) "I have a very strong willpower....needless to say, temptations are a son of a B, but I can resist them most of the time." WELL, he paused and looked me dead in the eye....a few seconds later he started laughin and said "Thank God you aint the mutha f***in Green Lantern, be over here f***in sh*t up with that strong ol' willpower of yours." I enjoyed a good 7 laughs lol

what IS American culture??

So.....I saw something today, and although it was funny, it got me thinkin....what IS American culture??? Like what truly is American culture?? Is America just a combination of every culture throughout the world? Like, the first thing people think of when u say culture is food. What IS American food? Hamburgers, no, that's from Germany. Pizza and pasta, impossible, that's Italy. What about Cajun food??? Well, not really, cause Cajuns can be linked to France and Canada(if i'm not mistakin). Barbeque HAS to be! No, it's from New Zealand and Australia...bummer. I suppose fried chicken ....and pigs feet...and chitlins are all American lol.

Ok, so what about music??? Well, as a musician...I've discovered that ALL music can trace back to one place, Africa. Why is that? Simple, life began there. It began as just rhythm and singing and eventually instruments were made and people to them to different regions and they became part of their cultures. Now, having said that, Blues did start in America. Not even the guitar, little known fact, the moderen Guitar is actually from.....SPAIN (electric guitar is American tho yaaay)! But were did blues come from?? Slavery. Where did slavery come from? Africa. So....in a way.....all music is African culture lol. But...in a since, now-a-days, that IS how we distinguish cultures...in a way. But when it comes down to it, what really is American music?? Can we still claim rock n roll....even tho ever song Elvis (that bastard) did was a blues song? Or how bout, the English people, who pioneered rock n roll music (ie. The British Invasion). We do still have Blues, Jazz and Swing Music.

what about clothes???? Well....I thought Jeans were America....but no, they're from......France....FRANCE????? My goodness. But suuuuuurely tie-dye is American right?? NOPE, the oldest tie-dyed article of clothing is actually from Peru. Boots??? No body claims boots lol. Sneakers?? AAALLLLLL AMERICAN lol.

Maaybe our big SUV's and those gay hybrid cars are American lol.

But, please know that I'm no bashin America. These thing aren't our faults. We are a country that is only......2-3 hundred years old. So this goes back to the question, what IS American culture???? America has a culture that takes a little bit from every culture around the world be we ourselves are a nation that is diverse and so full of different cultures. That's what American culture is to me. How bout you?

Fake People

..........Fake people.....they urks my soul. I ask people.....if you hate somebody, why pretend like you're they're friend? Like.....I'll finally say it, I was kicked out my band. But.....after calming down and thinking over everything with a cool and leveled head, I can't help but get the feeling that, at least one of them wanted to kick me out for a while. The thing that hurts about that still is, that person was my "best friend". I put that in quotations because......if he truly was my best friend, things would've went down differently. It almost seemed like he was looking for an excuse to get rid of me. Like he planned this very moment with a fine tooth comb. Honestly people, if you have a problem with a FRIEND wouldn't you come to their face and say it? I know I would. But that's cause I'm real with people. I mean, I do believe in being civil with all people for the sake of no drama. But having said that, you'll KNOW if I don't like you. I mean, what's the point of constantly putting yourself around somebody you don't like? Do you do it to not hurt anyone's feelings? My feelings would surly be hurt when you drop the "I never liked you" bomb on me. I wanna call it childish, but little 4 year olds have no problem with this at all. Bugs me so much, i can't even think straight lol.

tv court shows

..........why.....on those tv judge shows.......do people sue for the most pointless stuff in the world. Like, I'm watchin one now and....some 14 yearold kid was suing another kid for $5000 for punchin him in the face enough to much a deep cut in his face and for pain and suffering. Now, if it were me, sure sue for the doctor bill, that's 750 bucks, but that's it. Not 5000, that's over kill. Or people sue for stuff u can settle in 5 minutes outta court. If you owe somebody money GIVE IT TO THEM!!!! Why not give it to them and let then milke u for everything u got in the end? And if not that, thwy are just retarded or unprepared. If u wanna sue someone..either bring proof or don't sue........cause you won't win. Lol. I gotta admit tho......sometimes that stuff is just plain hilarious lol



Sometimes tho.........they got some legit cases.....that should seriously be in a real court with a jury and lawyers. Not on tv with some turd for a judge, who will rule against you if he/she dosen't like you.


But hey......whatever gets the ratings I guess.

LOL
