Stuff with people minds and have fun doing it

My Elmo Rap

Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I posted anything cause I have been busy with learning to play guitar and my work but one of my friends recently thought that because I can do an Elmo voice pretty well (if you can do it try ordering a coke from a bar in an Elmo voice as it is absolutely hysterical) I should do an Elmo rap. Now though I like a bit of rap it's never really been my thing but anyway I attempted it none the less and I gained a new appreciation of rap in doing so.

Anyway I have create a little version of an Elmo rap song and posted it up on YouTube for a laugh. I found it quite funny to listen to and hope you do 2.

Elmo Billie Jean and Dr Phil

Hi everyone.

I was experimenting with making youtube videos and I have created some interesting pieces of work. Here they are. Let me know what you guys and galls think.

Frenzal Rhomb - Knuckleheads is awesome

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to talk about a new aussie band that I love and even though punk always isn't my thing. Frenzhal Rhomb have been around for like yonks. I saw them on Hey Hey It's Saturday and that was like in 1996 (Hopefully not giving away my age there but I am young at heart and that's what's important) anyway I heard this song by them about 2 weeks and I loved it.

These guys are hilarious. Especially what they said to those MTV music hosts how they said they work for the devil but their good sports. 

Anyways even though I have not always loved punk rock i love there anti-establishment and anti-herd way of thinking and I absolute hate how people just go along with stuff for the sake of fitting in. It's so annoying if you can be yourself then your a wimp (or wimpette) end of story.

Anyways I hope they make more good songs like Knuckleheads.

The Importance of Choosing Your Friends

Hi everyone.

It's been a long time since I have written a post. Now I have had a lot going on but recently I went to the Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump seminar in the city at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Now while I was there I really had a change in perception because I have always believed in certain things like that thinking positive is logical and while thinking negative is illogical but it wasn't until I heard that Tony Robbins that is was good to hear someone else who is a very accomplished individual say those words.

Now the while it is hard to stay positive it is even harder to stay positive especially when the people around you such as your friends as family try to bring you down. Now unfortunately for you can't choose your family but you can choose your friends.

Now at the seminar on the second day which was a 3 day seminar, Kim Kiyosaki got up to speak and she said something very interesting. Your need to make sure that your friends are very supportive of what you do. She has her own group of friends that are all entrepreneurial women and they all support each other and this is very important because staying positive is a lot easier when you have the support of individual than when all the people around you are negative individuals it's hard to stay positive.

Now while I am not saying you should abandon your old friends(well the negative ones) but if your around a group of negative people it might be good to find another group of friends that are more positive about what you do but sometimes negative people are just very insecure about themselves and they will possibly use the excuse of mentoring or possibly the excuse that they are just realists but keep in mind how can anyone know what your truly capable of. So many people in history have risen to greatness when they have been said that they will never amount to nothing listen Albert Einstein who's elementary teacher told them just that.

People who think they know everything and they know as to what extent your capable of doing something are arrogant and stupid as what sort of a moron would profess to know just what a person can do and how the future would unfold.

Now while I am not saying you should believe delusional things like you can fly and not listen to anyone who says otherwise(unless your possibly a mad scientist at which point you probably won't listen anyway) but what I am saying is that people who think being negative is logical are just plain dumb because what is the point of focusing on what you can't do or the negative when you get nothing from it. In life staying positive means forward motion and constantly improving yourself while being negative means living in fear and worrying about what could go wrong and doing nothing so you tell me which one makes more sense.

Let me reiterate this one to make it quite clear. If you think being negative is a sign of intelligence or logical then you are a dumbass. How can you possibly win in anything whether it is a chess game, romance, sport, finance or anything else if you believe your already going to lose before you start. Positive thinking is an intelligent and logical response to problem solving in anything it just makes no sense to be negative now while you should always be aware of risks well they can managed.

So just one more time if you think being negative is intelligent then your a dumbass. A stupid idiotic imbecilic dumbass. And by the way if you think that I am wrong then you should listen to Tony Robbins because he himself said that being negative is being stupid so if you disagree with me then your a dumbass.

Remember that "if it will be, then it is up to me".

By the way I just recently picked up my copy of The Midas Touch by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki and for $30 bucks it is an awesome read even if your not a entrepreneur as it's lessons on going what you want after in life are very important.

Which Martial Art Is Right For You? Your Result: Ninjitsu Known as the art of stealth, used among ninja’s and assassins. Ninjitsu is just as diverse a self defense as an art of offense. The strongest attribute, that is least recognized, is the ability to network and remain “underground” or hidden among the general public. Ninjitsu teaches to fight to win, not to fight for honor. Also teaching to fight as a last result, not on trivial matters such as pride, but to fight more fierce. Maybe recognized by many as requiring far more discipline, to withhold personal feelings or objections, in order to obtain a common goal. Ninjitsu consists of many techniques found in Karate, Ju-jitsu, and even Judo just to name a few, but is devised of a system of intricate guerilla warfare hand to hand combat. Ninjitsu also uses many pressure point techniques as well as weapons. Training may consist of boot camp style mentality as well as the average dojo setting.

Why u should go to http://www.backintheday.com.au/ if you love hard rock and your in Melbourne

Hi everyone.

For those of you who don't know I love all sort of metal but I also love hard rock and am starting to like the band "Extreme" who play funk metal and hard rock music (funk metal sounds cool) but not to digress to far.

I just recently found about a venue called Back in the Day situated at the Portland Hotel that plays nothing but kickass hard rock tracks and there is a song on their home page that sounds so cool but I have no idea who sings it and even shazam didn't know which sucks so I had to keep on refreshing the page just to listen to the track over and over again (when i find a new track i really like i tend to listen to it over and over again so I can wear it in like you do with tyres lol).

If your looking for an awesome hard rock venue and you want to listen to real mens music and not the pansy emo rock (and you all know who I mean ) then you should check it out as they as it's on every Saturday and they even play Manowar tracks as well as ZZ Top so there is a pretty awesome selection of music.

So go to http://www.backintheday.com.au/  so you can check it out for yourself as it's pretty cool.


 

Watch out for fake christians and their stupid judgements?

OK, now while this may seem like a weird post there is a specific reason I am writing it so bear with me. I think i need to first explain what I mean. A fake christian is a person whom pretends to be righteous and acts as if they are decent people but whose actions speak in far contrast to their "supposed" religious beliefs.

These are christians who are christians in status only and what I mean is that they don't care whether or not they follow their religious dictates or not but just want to be perceived as being christians now normally I don't really care what people do with their own time and their is a parable in the bible which states "Judge not less thee be judged" which means is that if your a real christian your not meant to judge others so you shouldn't be judging others for making choices that are contrary to what you like it simply put isn't your place.

I believe in a live and let live philosophy and I believe if the world adopted this approach to life the world would be a much better place so for those of you supposed christians who want to judge people on the basis of race, creed or religion let me remind you that as Jesus said when the village wanted to stone the prostitute "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" unless you are completely free of sin (and you aren't) you shouldn't force others to adopt your methodologies or ideas.

Maybe you fake christians might want to stop focusing on others and instead focus on yourselves and what service you can provide to mankind and the lord by incorporating charitable works into your life and truly living your live for God instead of focusing on others so you can justify your fake christian ways of living your life's which is basically just doing whatever you want to do with your lives and then pretending that your christian cause faith just doesn't work that way.

If your christian you should act like one not do horrible things yourselves and then judge other for doing those same horrible things. That makes you hypocrites not righteous. Either be the real deal christians who truly live for God or buzz off with your stupid views about how a christian should live when your clearly not living those lives either.

Why being good is hard but worth it.

Ok In this world I have always been something of an enigma to everyone else but that's because I believe I have a unique outlook on life.

In this world you are taught to follow these rules of conduct in everything that you do from business to romance to everything else really but it's funny and can be disillusioning to see people get ahead by doing the wrong thing and nasty things but that doesn't mean u have become a nasty person get ahead but it does mean that u must be willing to break to the rules and stand against the grain and normal stand conventions if you want to live strong, free and righteous life.

See the funny thing about society currently is that while there is a façade of civility deep down underneath it all the system is set up so that nasty people can win now when I mean system I mean the rules of society so in order to be nice and win you have to break the rules which takes strength and determination to do but once you set yourself free you will see what I am talking about.

So how do you set yourself free? Well I can't really give you specific advice but I can give you some guidelines and while yes some of these will sound sappy but you know what it doesn't matter.

1. Always follow your heart

Never try to change yourself for anyone else or for another group, don't do anything you don't want to do and never do anything because you feel you are forced to because that's what your social circle wants. This is one of the ways of breaking the rules, rules that bind your mind and your potential from being who your meant to be.

If your friends don't accept you for who you are then they really aren't your friends and it's time to go get new ones and trust me you will find them.

2. Don't be afraid to be a leader

Never be afraid to move your life or yourself in another direction. If you know what you want to do then go do it. Don't listen to people who tell you that you aren't good enough to achieve your dreams or your not good enough to date that girl.

You have a right to enjoy everything that life has to offer and to shape it to be what and nobody has the right to dictate to you who you should date and what you should do with your life and how you should dress. Being a leader means being able to venture forth into new things that others don't have the courage to and yes you have it in your capacity to be a leader.

3. Don't take crap from people

This is a very important point. Now while being nice is a good thing(well no it's great) you must learn not to be a pushover in life. If you want to be truly happy you need to feel strong and powerful in your life(don't get a big head though) and you can't be free and happy if people are pushing you around so my advice is to go take some martial arts if your a timid person (karate is really good) so you can develop that fighting spirit that you will need to carry you through the trials and tribulations that is life.

4. Stay healthy and strong

This is a very important point because it's hard to stay positive when you feel like crap. Now while I am not going to try and push on you any diet or particular training method cause everyone is different it is very important that you treat you body like a temple so it will carry you through the hard times. To this end a good amount of proper exercise and drinking enough water and eating enough fruits and vegetables is essential to staying healthy and providing your body with everything that it needs and pointing on muscle is never a bad thing.

5. Study books on strategy

Now while this might be a weird point to come across the study of strategy is an essential component to living a free life because you need to be able to think of plans to achieve your life objectives so it is imperative that you learn how to think strategically now while there are lots of books on the subject there are two main ones that I reread and are known and respected world wide. These are the art of war and the book of five rings.

Now while the art of war is a book on military warfare it's teaching are just as relevant to everything else in life and that is the reason it is studied by people from all walks of life including business people.

Now unless you have studied asian culture before it might seem very different for you but rest assured that this simple, short and easy to read book has golden principles in it that you will use well throughout your whole life so my advice is to read it




Now while I love anything to do with samurai's and ninjas there is a particular reason that not only I like but that is a very renowned book read by even non martial artists. That is because of the scientific that that it look at swordsmanship but that also applies to life.

There is one section that I really like that is in the Earth Scroll(A section in the book) that is called "Likening the Science of Martial Art to Carpentry" and the way of thinking presented should be how you apply yourself to the things you want to achieve in your life so I can't stress enough how this little cheap book is so useful.

Anyway to conclude I would just like to say that it is possible to still win in life and be nice you just have to be smart about it so never give up and always don't take crap from no one unless it's suits your purposes of course.

Power Quest has the power!!!

Hi everyone. I recently came across another band called Power Quest who are simply awesome. Can't get enough of this power metal but this stuff is awesome and kickass to.

The Grey Knights

I love this video it's simply awesome.

Power Metal in Melbourne at the Esplanade was freaking awesome

Hi everyone,

I was at the The Esplanade Hotel last night to see my favourite Australian power metal band Black Majesty playing live and even though the schedule at the place was way off it was still freaking awesome. An awesome night with my awesome mates listening to some of the best power metal Australia has to offer. Ozzie Ozzie Ozzie Oi Oi Oi!!!.

If you love power metal and u live in melbourne then you should''ve been there. Shame on u if you weren't lol.

But seriously they were freaking awesome and it was so awesome just to be able to listen to the music live. Sort of motivates me to keep practising

An interesting video on how the education system makes us think like sheep on a production line to the slaughter

Hi everyone,

Now while this isn't really relevant to self-help or to the metal stuff it is something I found while perusing the web and checking out the website http://www.education4life.com.au/ which is an education advocacy group that basically promote further education for people and help with funding and that sort of thing so if your looking to further your education you should check them out.

Any ways this video actually reflects a lot of my views and also pointed out something about the education system is designed to mass produce mindless drones instead of allowing people to develop creativity, a positive attitude and free thought. Anyways watch this vid cause it's revolutionary:

Ronaldo Vs Rémi Gaillard

Ok while this isn't exactly funny stuff remi gaillard is actually also a very good soccer player and can do some really incredible tricks with a soccer ball. Anyways look like ronaldo decided to take on remi gaillard in a showdown as to who can do the best tricks with a soccer ball. Anyways have a look you might be stupefied by the tricks these guys pull off with a soccer ball:

Can't wait to get my Grey Knights codex!!

I pre-ordered my codex about 2 weeks ago and I can't wait for the 2nd of April, It's gonna be so cool. I bought a custom painted grey knights army a while ago that I want to test out with the new codex so can't wait to get it. I wonder if you can still take guard in it though cause I use to love taking the leman russ in the daemonhunters army?

Clawfinger and Rise Against rock!!

Hey everyone. Now I know that while I have been talking a lot about power metal lately (and I am planning to talk about it a lot more) there are some bands that don't fall in that genre that I really love and they are both in the hardcore punk category(well rise against is melodic hardcore but it's still close) and they are Rise Against and Clawfinger.

Now while I didn't realise this when I first started listening to them they are both political bands(Clawfinger is also anti-racism which is awesome) that are about being positive (I have a theory about why people like certain types of music but I will leave that for another post) and I really love their music and have loved it for years (I was listening to them before I started listening to power metal)

Now Clawfinger lyrics are very intelligent (generally speaking ) and they tend to talk about some pretty useful things like their song called "Confrontation" which is not only really cool but talks about idiots who handle anger in the wrong way and why it's wrong anyways here is one my favourite songs called Out to get me from Clawfinger which is so awesome:


Clawfinger - Out To Get Me by raggalaggaff

Now we come to a band who I listen to even more. I have tons of their tracks and their music has inspired me more than any other band and that is Rise Against. Their music is powerful and positive. The vocals melodic are awesome to listen to. Their vocals are a lot cleaner (which is why their melodic hardcore) and they are the band that started me on the positive metal track and revolutionised my life. I owe their music a lot. Anyways here is there song The Long Forgotten Sons:


Rise_Against_-_Long_Forgotten_Sons by osemsedem

Sorry about the slow loading times of the videos but I had to get them from non standard sources due to the vids not playing on my site because of some stupid copyright crap.

Just started learning how to play the guitar again

Hi everyone, Years ago when I was 16 I used to take guitar lessons and I loved it. I only had lessons for 6 months but it was one of the few things in life that would never bore me so I practised like there was no tomorrow but after 6 months my guitar teaches was planning to move so he couldn't teach me any more and even though he gave me the number of another teacher I guess that I was too embarrassed so I sort of gave it up.

It's something that I sorely regret but no point living in the past. Any ways due to re emergence of my love for power metal I have decided that I will begin learning how to play the guitar again and will be trying to do it in the shortest time possible with the intentions of possibly starting a power metal /hardcore punk band cause I love both genres of music well more the power metal but some of my all time favourite bands like Clawfinger and Rise Against are hardcore punk (well rise against is melodic hardcore which I think it a sub genre of hardcore punk anyway).

So to that end I have started practising, I whipped out my old copy of Progressive Guitar Method - Book 1 Deluxe Color Edition and started playing the examples. I am practising lots in the hopes I can do this very quickly. After I finish that book and can play everything in it really well I am planning to get Progressive Guitar Method, Book 2: Intermediate and then finally after I finish that I can move onto the more fun stuff by getting Progressive Heavy Metal Techniques for Lead Guitar and also planning to get How to Play Metal Guitar: The Basics and Beyond (How to Play Series) as it had great reviews.

To that end I have bought an electronic guitar tuner from ebay so that I can get my strings to be in tune (as I used to rely on my guitar teacher to do that). I am still deciding about whether or not I should get a guitar teacher but for now I would just like to do it myself for now.

I also have a keyboard which appears to be used by some bands like Firewind so after I master the guitar my starting learning how to use the keyboard as well.

Oh by the way if any one has any ideas on how to speed up the learning process for my learning it would be appreciated. 

Why your health can affect how you think.

Most people seem to think that there is a separation(at least i am assuming) between physical health and mental health but the two are inextricably linked together more closely than you could imagine. If your a person who is naturally anxious and restless then weight training or martial arts or even boxing could be the best thing for you as they could be an outlet for your anxiety and tire you out so that you don't feel restless and so you can then then think clearly.

Even your diet can affect your mental attitude as eatings lots of junk food and not getting enough vegetables and drinking enough water can because if your body is running of a crappy fuel source and then so is your mind and your certainly not gonna feel positive if you feel rundown all the time now are you?

A decent diet and exercise are essential components to maintaining that positive outlook required to keep on pushing on forward in the game that is called life and going after your dreams. You need to right fuel to cross that bridge so I would keep an eye on what fuel you put into your own stomach.

Metal Is Forever

Hi everyone,

I have just come across another cool power metal band with an awesome vocalist who goes by the name of Primal Fear and this is a song called Metal is Forever and I LOVE IT!!!.

The vocal are awesome and it's got a good solid power metal beat to it which is awesome and the main singer looks tough which is always cool.

Anyways enough from me here it is:

The Stereotypes Song

I just came across this weird video from Ray William Johnson who if you don"t know is like a famous youtube video guy anyway while it isn't really that funny but he definitely put a lot of effort into it so I reckon you should have a look at it:
