Facts of life – you need money to live. We need money to buy
things, but is it actually money we use to pay for things or is there more to
it?

A World Without Please and Thank you
Is Please a form of begging? Do we say thank you just
because of manners or to show that a person did a huge favor by going out of
their way? What if helping another was something that was expected from each
and every one and what if that was the norm were please and thank you will be unnecessary?
Stop complaining but your personal issues and find solutions

Whiplash Movie - What does it take to be the best?
How far is too far when pushing someone to reach their full potential? What are the consequences of trying to find the line? Is it self-righteous to push someone too hard...or is it an act of compassion? Or maybe it's something different all together? We explore some of these questions and many more as we dive into discussion about a Drummer who was pushed by his music teacher to play to the best of his abilities.

Did Rage Against the Machine change the World?
You know what would be awesome - instead of voicing the
problems we face in this world why not sing the solutions. I was am a
big Rage fan, and even through singing and playing their songs I did not
actually “hear’’ the message. One of my Favorite songs from them is “Bullet in
your Head” - They had a message and they tried haring that message, but
without an actual solution. All this does is create more anger and more Rage.
It’s like “Yea man, I see that I’m being told what to do,
the system got me, I’m angry about it, thanks for letting me know”. I did not go a
step further and ask myself “What can I do about it?”.
So yes – this is a far better than the shit we hear on the
radio and the message that RATM represented is still a millions time better
than the Shit we call music these days, but in the end it did not change
anything significantly – they did not have an impact in the world.
They did however have an impact on the individual level,
planting the seeds of questioning WTF is going on in the world so from that
perspective it’s awesome – but they did not present any real solutions. They
had the following they had the power, but they also did not know what to do to
bring real change.
From my perspective they did not understand the full
problem. Yes, people are being manipulated and brainwashed in the name of capitalism
and control and are being screwed “by the man” – BUT that is not the real
problem. The problem is that all the problems we face in this world are created
by US – we the people – Humanity. We created the system, the machine so its time to top raging against ourselves. It’s all the result of our human nature –
what we see in this world is what we all created. It’s our Nature that is
destroying us – we are our own worst enemy.
Human Nature is the problem. You change Human Nature you
change the world. Now comes the real question: How do you change human nature?

Practicing Beethoven – Fur Elise on Acoustic Guitar
I was busy practicing a song today ( Fur Elise ) when Leila Tried to sneak
up on me and record me whilst me being unaware. Unfortunately for her she did
not go unnoticed. But I did do a rare thing and let her record me while I practice
( Video Attached below) which brought up a point.
I started to learn this song yesterday and when it comes to
learning new songs I tend to not want people to hear it unless I can play it
fluently. So in the practice stage I definitely don’t want someone to record me
and the reason for that is simple – it sounds bad lol. I just started learning
this so it’s not going to be perfect and there will be many mistakes and when I
play for others and there are mistakes it’s a self-judgment point, but that is
part of this whole process in music. When you first learn something new you are
not going to be good at it at first – there will be mistakes and it takes practice
to get it right.
It is this part of music that people do not see often – when
you go look at some professional musician playing a song you don’t really realize
what it took for the person to be able to play that well. It’s loooooong hours
of mistakes, repetition, consistency and endurance. What we see when we watch
these pro’s is the end result. They don’t show the road that got them there.
For me it would be cool to see that process, but in the music world of professionalism
and perfection you tend to only see the end result.
So sure it’s not very good right now, but with practice, eventually,
I will be able to play it well. And so, for your listening and viewing pleasure
I present to you the process of making mistakes:

Why is the Advertising Ban Proposal The best thing ever?
Who here likes Ads? These days we have ads everywhere and I for
one skip and close every Ad I see. The reason why I dislike ads is because they
are not real – they are not truthful and their very reason for existing is to
get you to buy what they are selling.
The big problem comes with Advertising health care like pharmaceuticals
– this does real harm, because they don’t have your best interest at
heart. Adverts are causing harm, because
they make us think we need that particular product, or pill to make our lives
better.
We need to stop the deliberate manipulation of pharmaceutical
companies – they are causing harm:
