Um, I want to make a Country Band?




I love my composition book. . I really do.

I like picking it up and hovering my pencil over the lines.
However, not truly making words in-between those lines.

I've felt I've been "write-less" (if only that were a word)

Something hasn't been clicking with writing songs.

Even though the I wrote "You Got The Nerve"
(Which btw was typed in my Android phone)
It wasn't too long ago but I feel it should have kept going.

I guess my biggest hassle is what genre I want to write.
I'm not too sure why it's such a issue.

I really want to write my country songs, and the other issue is I also want to compose the music to it. 
However, I have not a clue how to play the guitar (easily)

I have one. . but it isn't the greatest to even practice on.

After creating pop, R&B, hip hop, dance, over and over you want different.

I mean at least I do as an uncanny musician. 


Treading down these pre-occupied roads of Roswell, GA 
I hear the music of, see the videos of, feel the spirit of. . 

This "Country Band" I wanted to unite.

Maybe not a band...
Maybe just a solo act. .

Or a female duet..

Preferably a solo act since bands aren't cutting edges these days...

I want my hands in on a great act. 

No, this isn't some Sean Combs deal or anything 
(*Shudders*. . never  that)

Its a "sPadey, helped create this force" kind of deal.

It's still a young idea. 
I'm just so eager to get my name in on something!

Even though I'm not a country singer, I'd love to write for some new acts.

There are many great ones out there blooming
These include these 3 lovely women.

Good luck to you ladies!

Go and check them out!

Let the filming begin

Standing with a Demon



"This Mourning" was perfect fuel to help rev my "filming spirits".

I mean I do music production for indie video games.
 I always implement some of my works in my own features as you know.

I love doing music production for motion pictures.
Reason being is because you can be as creative as the setting is.

Horror is a great genre. 
However, nowadays they make it look like the worst thing created.

"This Mourning" to me isn't too "scary" but more suspenseful, thriller like 
(At least for now. . .)



The story has it so far that a young man purchased a nice townhouse.
He has a phone conversation and complains about hearing things, feeling things, seeing presences. 
A dream dawned upon him one night, and he's encountered by a "paranormal" presence in his bathroom, and later on encountered by a demonic presence in his doorway.

Later on he searches for information about the house owners. 
The original owners were "Satanic Priests". 
This explains some of the retched spirits he encounters.

His friend accompanies him at the house. 
Michael discovers a Skype name to contact the original owner. 
However, he gets redirected to a black, speechless, demonic figure.

The figure dashes away ending the Skype conversation. 

Michaels friend uses the bathroom thinking he sees movement behind the shower.

He finds nothing. . . 

However, exiting the bathroom another demonic makes an appearance in-between the bed.


The third episode is being written.
I'm just trying to figure out how I can refresh this idea.

I'm trying to figure out how I can re-innovate it and make it longer.

I really want to do more film productions.
However, the lack of a "social group" pretty much derails my chances.

This Mourning

When you place two talents together bored you get production.

Michael Cooley and I sat down around my room, I was showing him some silly little videos I had made with my younger brother awhile back. 

Mike was like, "Alright, I want to make a video"

Haha. . .

So we charged up my little Cybershot Sony camera and got to work.

After a few takes we came out with this here!

This is part one of a paranormal epic production.

It took around an hour to film and the rest of the time was editing.

The Ol' Swifter and the VMA's

Big Bag Of Innocence

Still apart of my "Swifter Series", my returning blog post, it might as well be about the Ol' Swifter night. . right?

I mean truly why else did anyone watch?
The entire duration of the VMA's was dull.
Except for Chelsea Handlers enlightenment and Taylors moment.


The 2010 VMA's that aired Sunday, September 12th, 2010 wasn't very 
"Shock filled"
However, it shed some light on some old "taken to heart" moments.

The controversial moment that happened at last years VMA's, 
between Miss Swift and Kanye West, 
(which quite annoyingly still is such a problem amongst everyone.) 

This issue called the attention of tons of viewers for the recent awards show. 
Yes all 11.4 million of us

The long awaited Swifter performance started with a melancholy flashback.
The flashback that started all the controversy to begin with. 

In a very morbid, rainy, blue hued environment Taylor sang.

The song she sang was "Innocent" which I'm guessing will be featured on her awaited new album "Speak Now"

I'm still not convinced at all that this song was to Kanye.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't THAT much animosity if any at all. 

The song in my opinion was quite nice.
I decode the meaning a bit different than others might. .
(Sorry I'm a conspiracy theorist)

However, the jest of the song was capturing.
I also enjoyed how the environment lured you in.

Something tells me "Speak Now" won't truly be a, 
"Sididdy-bum-bop lovey dovey" Swifter (haha)

Even though her lyrics are always true, real and pretty relative.
I feel this is a step deeper into the "Swifter Heart Crevices"

I could have sworn I had a legit link to the performance, but they rip stuff off of Youtube before you can even say YOUTUBE

So here's a link to just the song.

Enjoy :)

Don't Swift Off The Ol' Swifter

Madam Swift

I've noticed the attacks at Taylor majored after the Grammies.

Theres the main debate of her being a true "talent".

Well, I've discovered a bit of my own opinion to share.

Lets start shall we. . .?



"The Ol' Swifter can write a good song!"


There's pretty much no doubting "the Swifter" knows how to write a good song. 
I mean a song that can really make a teenage girl shiver. 
Then in most cases also win the hearts of older people.

If you're a true "music lover" you can also respect what she speaks about, and maybe not because you relate to her stories,  but because she makes you understand and feel what she is singing about near 100%

When "Love Story" made its way in about 2 years ago. 
I wasn't fish-hooked in immediately.


However, after clearing my stubbornness, finally giving in and hearing the whole song,
I was interested definitely.

(Also for the fact that I seen all the ladies loving her,  it helps to know about what they love lol)

It was easy to understand what she was talking about.
In such a simple formatted way the young, quirky, endearing girls voice she has makes you understand her very well.

If you didn't know the fairy tale, complex, dramatic scenery that fills a young ladies head 
Well you knew then after hearing one of "the Swifter's" songs.

So in a nutshell YES, Taylor can definitely write greatness.


The Live Performance Hassles
(A Big Bad TERRIBLE Beast they say...)



So people complain that she cannot sing. 
Then say shes a horrible artist with no talent

I'm not TOO quick to jump that gun. 
I do see a lot of times where she wasn't so great.

However, theres plenty of artist who are worst live performers, no talent, etc

In most cases it just means you aren't a great live performer. 
Not meaning you are a horrible artist.

I mean she can write a song, hit the studio,  record it and get on the radio, capture hearts.
Thats lovely enough.

I believe also she helps a lot with the set design at her concerts which is a plus.

She can sing. 
It's just not a very strong, full, dramatic voice like most.
Shes more of a mellow voice, light on her feet, sometimes with ability to go loud & dramatic.

In some cases yes its stale thinking she puts all this time into the craft, and then when it comes to performing amongst all her fans she kind of chokes up.
Nowadays, I guess that means you are artificial?

I'm not mad at her over it.
I believe she'll definitely grow, and live performing is quite the challenge if you didn't know!

Heck..you look at rappers nowadays and think. . . "OK, whats the significance behind them?"

They get a looped beat, 
Write some words on it (pretty much cloned from any other song they've done)
Talk about being the greatest and fly, fresh, and such. . 
Get these kids to be so ridiculously into them, and they're truly nothing to begin with.
Get the kids to think they're hardcore, going through a terrible life, etc.

I think rappers are the greatest "acts", clowns, unnecessary, flukes, useless. 

The Ol' Swifter makes you feel befriended  (muhaha)

I feel, when I listen to Taylor Swift, that she is a girl I know that lives just down the street, and she's catching up with me, telling me about an experience she had that day. 

Its just a closeness...a bond...

I can't lie I had this wild overtaking that wanted me to dislike her few months ago (lol)
However, it just felt compelling to hear her out. 

 Honestly, I hadn't listened to her in a good while.

When the song for Valentines Day came out I didn't pay much mind.
I guess I was mind numbed by others rants about the Grammies performance
Then I was sadly giving up on her.

Then "Mine" had leaked and I was once again a fan haha. . I never stopped being one, HONEST!

















If you think you don't like her,
Just give her another shot

It's her lyrics that don't allow you to cease your bond. 

It's the truth in the words that doesn't let you fall too far from her.

"Mine" is my second favorite song right now in Country/pop




In conclusion, Taylor Swift (The Swifter) is a good artist.
She writes good capturing songs. 
She gives you insight of her life, and these songs happen to be how millions of girls feel.

If you're older and in your 20's on up it may just be cute to you. .then again it may be your life story, or how you've felt when you were younger.

Either way I see her as a strong hold for the time to come.

So come with it Ol' Swifter ;)
