Arnold Schwarzenegger was once quoted as saying the following:
“I knew I was a winner. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way.” ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
I agree with him 100%. It’s not [...]

Why Every Guitar Player Should Learn Music Theory
The other day I woke up after dreaming about Hillary Duff. Honestly, I don’t know why. She’s good looking and everything, but I barely know who she is.

Speaking of shitty lyrics… I’ve studied screenwriting a bit, which is writing scripts for movies. I watched “Another 48 Hours” the other night, and it had some terrible, terrible dialogue from the villains.
(And the main villain’s secret identity was completely obvious! There was no other reason for him to be in the movie, always a [...]
I bought Kurt Cobain’s journals the other day. Many of you know Nirvana is my favorite band. I’ve written about them in more than one post.
I really respect Kurt’s music philosophy. One thing he said that has stuck with me was that lyrcis were always secondary to him. I plan on trying to write really [...]
Most far left-wingers think it’s wrong to make more than you need. Most musicians are at least left-wing, if not far. I think it kind of helps to have radical politics as a rock star, because it gets you attention.
AND because most people don’t know much about economics or history… if your politics sound like [...]
I was just searching on Yahoo! answers for tips on becoming a rock star. (I just noticed how weird the word “answers” is spelled…)

I haven’t posted in a few days, but I have been progressing.
I think I skipped one day of practice last week, but other than that I’ve been getting in some good playing time. I kind of took the day off on purpose…
On Wednesday I was trying to master this song that I’d been on for [...]

I started watching “Walk The Line” today, about Johnny Cash. I really like it so far and it’s inspiring me.
When Cash is auditioning for a record label, Sam Phillips from Sun Records tells JR to play the one song he’d like the world to remember him by…
It made me think about writing my first song. [...]
