It's simple really, the more I see the left squirm and "protest" (riot) the more I want to support the very thing/person they despise. Hollywood hates Trump, the liberals hate Trump, many establishment, career politicians hate Trump, THEREFORE I MUST support him. He's obviously doing something right to enrage all these loons. It's really a pretty accurate morality gauge if you think about it. If the Godless, the self-absorbed, the LGBT movement, and leftist lunatics all hate him, it seems like a pretty clear indicator that he doesn't support their agenda or appeal to their way of life, as it turns out, neither do I. Everyday I read about some celebrity calling him a bigot or hater and everyday my resolve gets stronger. Why? Because when they call him a bigot or hater they're basically calling ME a bigot and hater. I don't stand for everything Trump says but I do stand for his fundamentals of taking back our country, protecting our borders, dealing with illegals, trade, and defying the PC movement. These are the very parasites that are destroying this country from the inside out. It's time we stop the madness and stand with the only man who can currently combat and hopefully defeat this epidemic. Trump may not be the most upstanding guy in the world but neither was King David, Apostle Paul, or even Ronald Reagan. At this point in time we have to take the first step in getting our country back on track and I believe Donald Trump is the man to do it.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04736944149995304038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662067591635384254.post-10653730487525504732015-10-07T07:34:00.001-07:002015-10-07T07:41:55.319-07:00PC Nation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now it's a full on assault of our individual liberties. Political correctness is hacking away at our society, our communities and yes, (I'll say it again) our hard earned individual liberties. The same liberties that countless men and women have died for over the past 200 years. Which in my opinion is the biggest travesty of the whole PC issue. Think about it, all the death and mayhem to establish and protect our freedom will be for naught if the liberals of this nation continue to get their way. The bible speaks of people being turned over to a reprobate mind, essentially rejecting God (<a href="http://biblehub.com/romans/1-28.htm" target="_blank">Romans 1:28</a>) just as they did in Sodom and Gomorrah. Our nation is rejecting God and Truth in every way possible from the blatant attack on the traditional family to the stripping away of the Ten Commandments posted at our local courthouse. Should we fight back? I don't know, it seems futile really. After all, how can we fight the inevitable and prophetic demise of this world? I believe all we can do is arm ourselves with knowledge of what's to come while praying for Gods will to be done. I'm not trying be all preachy but as a man who has not been turned over to a reprobate mind I think maybe we've overstayed our welcome on planet Earth. <br />

Okay, so here's the thing.. I haven't posted on here for a few years, a lot of sh!t has gone down. Good sh!t and bad sh!t. I won't bother with gory details but I'm no longer married, in a band or living in Cincinnati. I divorced, hung it up and moved. One day I reached my tipping point with the whole shebang and literally packed my crap up (what I could fit in my pretentious gas guzzling Escalade) and headed North. North to Alaska, just kidding, still in Ohio but Northern OH. I gave the Escalade back to the bank, walked away from the big house/mortgage, sold my music gear (except for my bass guitar which was stolen by my Ex) and found a woman that wasn't 2 parts crazy and one part.. (rrrrrt. screeching halt). I don't like where this is going. Check yourself Koontz (deep breath). So I moved north, got my Pilot license and started working at the local Airport. I'm in a steady, calm, normal relationship with an awesome, beautiful younger (by 3 years) woman. I love her and I'm pretty sure we'll grow old together outside of the confinements and strangleholds of marriage (deal with it). I have a good life, it's relatively simple, slightly boring at times but I have what I need and appreciate what I have. I made some necessary changes and I'm beginning to see some of the fruits of my labor. God is good.<br />

All we can do now (other than blog, complain and whine) is sit back and watch Obama push his agenda for the next four years. Knowing he's serving his second and final term what's he got to lose? I've never been overly concerned with politics but it's becoming more and more clear as to what is happening to our country. It goes hand and hand with biblical theology (which I happen to believe in) <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A28-32&version=NIV">Romans 1:28 </a>.<br />
<b>28</b> Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.<br />

Like I've said before, liberalism is one step closer to a Godless society. Ciao.<br />

Oh how these Presidential debates can provide us bloggers with an abundance of material! I could write for days about how these politicians (Presidential and local) remind me of 4th graders in adult bodies. He said, she said, he's a liar, he's a cheat... pathetic and embarrassing to our country. So why am I not blogging till my fingers go numb? For me personally I'm just bored with this same go'round every four years and when it comes to the candidates it's more of a popularity contest than it is about what's best for our country. For example; the US is basically a business. It has revenue and expenses, policies and procedures, security and the gathering of intelligence, all much like a large corporation. So, if that Corp is in dire straights and going belly up who are you going to bring in as a new CEO? Well back in the 80's Chrysler brought in Lee Iacocca and turned a bankrupt company into one of the largest most prosperous automobile manufacturers in the world. What's my point? My point is our country is in need of someone who can run a business, someone who has experience and success running a business and someone who will have a cabinet that also knows business. Yes, that would be Romney. I'm not a big Romney fan but it only makes logical sense to bring in a business guy to fix our business problems. But when it comes to elections it's clearly not about logic or what's best for our country anymore. We would rather demonize a guy that has made a good life for himself and his family, a guy that still pays more in taxes in one year than most of us will in a lifetime. What's the big deal if he's rich? This country needs the rich more than we need the poor!

What if Christians were acting like that? How long do you think that would be tolerated in today's society? Let's say every time we hear Gods name in vain on TV we start a riot (yes, I know it would be non stop rioting), or when non Christians try to stop a particular Chicken fast food joint from opening a store in your city simply because their CEO doesn't believe the same way you do...again riot! There would be little to no tolerance for Christians if we acted like that, nor should there be. But many of us tolerate and empathize with these hate filled extremist, why? Because of fear, because we're afraid they'll attack us, blow us up, kill our peeps and in the meantime these loons are gaining a stronger foothold by capitalizing on OUR fear. Come on people, grow a pair! Do you think our forefathers were full of fear? Hell no! They stood fear in the face and came out victorious. </div>

The<span style="font-family: inherit;">se attac</span>ks on innocent people (American or not) should be dealt with swiftly and sternly regardless of their rights. If you're acting in a way that is crazy, destructive, violent, murderous, (imo) you just lost your rights! </div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Pay to play: the transfer of money from an artist to a promoter/venue before playing. The term pay-to-play is used to describe a performance where an artist (usually a musician) turns in money before taking the stage. This payment can either come straight from the artist's pocket or be collected from the artist through the pre-sale of tickets (aka pre-sale). The majority of the funds collected go to the promoter or the club/venue.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Why pay to play is Evil</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnX6V59mhO0oaYvj9E2hJC8h3FgViL6NkUBaBCl9X6XtPRGwSITmEIVkDIjqKolS6wMgnGgwtCZUYPcow_nGo55B6Gg6ZUJI9li0-9n-kAonU010h1n4-aEdQmAdXLFrQ95zjTZl-GUzh/s1600/no+pay+to+play.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnX6V59mhO0oaYvj9E2hJC8h3FgViL6NkUBaBCl9X6XtPRGwSITmEIVkDIjqKolS6wMgnGgwtCZUYPcow_nGo55B6Gg6ZUJI9li0-9n-kAonU010h1n4-aEdQmAdXLFrQ95zjTZl-GUzh/s1600/no+pay+to+play.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Pay to play is evil because the promoter isn't taking the risk - the artists are. If nobody shows up the promoter isn't out of pocket, the bands that traveled (sometimes hours) to get there are. As a result, pay to play promoters do little to justify their job title. What exactly did they promote? The band did their job for them! Most of the time they don't send out press releases, pass out flyer's, contact local radio, post in the local beat scene, send out mass emails or even promote it in their own venue until the day of the show! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bands rarely sell enough tickets to cover the pay to play cost's that they may have incurred. Usually it ends up coming out of their own pockets. Rather than getting paid to do the gig they end up paying the venue for the </span>privilege<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to playing to an empty room. How friggin lame is that picture?</span></span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfsJnbyDHuWgIK4GcD_y_PSPEzWdpGjQDvCQJT5kAdA0t1hhEfxUxfP60CXCVBpkcNIcxJXfbPfX38tnlx3L0iCXRtwSf-787r1lwimeQkgxBCCW2Migl8nlByktaPIqf6MekwWyEooMs4/s1600/No+Crowd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfsJnbyDHuWgIK4GcD_y_PSPEzWdpGjQDvCQJT5kAdA0t1hhEfxUxfP60CXCVBpkcNIcxJXfbPfX38tnlx3L0iCXRtwSf-787r1lwimeQkgxBCCW2Migl8nlByktaPIqf6MekwWyEooMs4/s200/No+Crowd.jpg" width="200" /></span></a><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The venue wouldn't dream of charging the staff to work there. Why should musicians pay to provide their club with live entertainment? What do the clubs say about this? "Well, we're in the business to make money and if bands don't like it they don't have to participate." Okay, I won't and if I can help it neither will anybody else. Back when the music biz wasn't in the tank (10+ years ago) the venue or promoter would do what a business does and promote or advertise their business. I know, crazy right?! Why should the bands have to do their job? Do we musicians ask the venue to write our songs or sing back up? Most of the time we don't even ask them to help us load in or load out for fear of being looked at or treated like a friggin idiot! Basically they want us to show up, buy their concessions, fill their venue with spend happy people, provide all or part of entertainment, and clean up our mess on the way out while they (the venue) count the fruits of YOUR labor. And if they didn't make any $ they'll blacklist you and complain about how your band doesn't "drawl" and that will be that. And then THEY wonder why the biz is in the tank!! Amazing! Absolutely f'in amazing! Maybe they should look up the definition of the word exploit. Actually, I'll take the liberty of doing it for you/them. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Exploit: To Make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage. <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exploit?show=1&t=1344723206">Merriam-Webster</a></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br />
I could ramble on for days about my own personal nightmarish experiences with paying to play but I won't. I'll just say that we've been dumb enough to pay up to $500 to play a well known music festival just to get our power pulled halfway into our set because THEY screwed up their scheduling times. Did we get our money back (or even half of it)? Heeel no! Will we do it again? Double heeel no! There are rare occasions where my band will pay to play again. One is opening for National touring acts where you'll have an almost guaranteed increase in exposure. Second is...well I can't think of another occasion.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would like to clarify that this isn't always the case though. There are venues and promoters out there that treat us like royalty (better than we deserve) and appreciate what we're offering them with our music and performance. In my experience those are the guys that are most successful. Their priorities are in line, they don't sacrifice all for the sake of money and it comes around in a huge positive way. Artists gravitate toward them, people show patronage to their establishments and they are widely respected and appreciated. Sadly, they are few and far between as our world becomes more and more consumed with greed and hunger for personal gain.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some pay to play truths to consider:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">*</span><span style="line-height: 20px;">A club that needs to make bands pay to play may not know how to book or manage their club and doesn't have a clue to what the music business is all about. Much less how to create an atmosphere that will draw people to the club regardless of who is playing.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">* </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">Most likely you will get a very short set on a four or more band bill. Most likely you will get cheated out of a quality sound check.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">* </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">The time you spend selling tickets could be spent in practice. Money spent on paying to play could be spent buying studio time to record or to make promo packages or set up merchandising that will make your band money, or to put on your own show and make 100% of the door or put you on tour etc...</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">* </span><span style="line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">Most likely one or more of the bands on the bill with you will be non-professional in musicianship and other areas as well.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">* </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">You will start to get a clue when your family/friend buys the tickets but stops going to your shows or when your friends run and hide when they see you 'cause they know you're going to hit them up again.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">* </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">You already spent a lot of time and money getting to where you have a band ready to play out. You spent years practicing. You spent money buying equipment, maintaining that equipment, moving that equipment. You may spend money on a rehearsal space, perhaps lessons as well. So these pay to play clubs are not helping you pay these expenses, why should you pay for theirs? A musician is one who gets paid to perform (believe it or not) and the promoter/venue is one who purchases talent and sells tickets to see the talent they purchased. Know your role! </span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 20px;"></span><span style="line-height: 20px;">People; It's time to support your local musicians! </span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">Bands; stop selling yourself short and tell venues/promoters you don't pay to play! Do your share in promoting your gigs but put your money back in your band for gear, merch, recording, etc.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 20px;">Promoters and venues; put yourself in the artist's shoes and get off your arse, learn to build and promote your business instead of depending on the artist to do it for you! Promote the shows and bands you book and let the artists focus on their art!</span></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Congrats NASA on another out of this world accomplishment! So what are we looking for exactly? The latest $2.6 billion rover "Curiosity" has landed safely and it's mission is "to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms" (Marvin Martian?) NASA says.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Curiosity left earth on November 26 on a journey of over 352 million miles, according to our boys at NASA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Controlled from a jet propullsion labatory, Curiosity is loaded with all the bells and whistles such as power windows, 17 on board cameras, a laser that can survey the composition of rocks from far away or destroy a medium size </span>country<span style="font-family: inherit;"> depending on which switch you press. The Rover is also fit with a 22 speaker 2000 watt stereo system complete with ipod </span>integration<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and front and rear dvd players (sounds a lot like my Escalade). NASA, you spared no </span>expense<span style="font-family: inherit;"> this time! Way to go boys!</span><br />

I lived on a dead end street consisting of about 14 homes absent of nearby parks, walking paths, community pool or clubhouse and of course no HOA. Yet somehow as I compare myself and the then kids around me I'm certain that I was more enriched, responsible (in most ways), had waaaay more common sense than any kid that I've had the pleasure of being around nowadays plus I managed to have a few bucks in my pocket most of the time from picking apples and baling hay for the farmer down the road. Generally, I was pretty content and happy. How the heck could that be the case?! I mean, all the crap we have at our disposal now is supposed to keep us entertained, happy and content right? So why are we so discontent as a nation? Why are we so bitter and angry? Why are we so shallow? Okay, okay, I know you've heard this same rant before but you haven't heard it from me because I've been too busy with important things like Facebook and various other avenues that keep me distracted from my own true reality.<br />
<div>
The first thing some of you will think when reading this is "I'm not bitter and angry, nor am I shallow or discontent" and I hope that is true for you (and I promise I won't tell you that you're in denial or lying to yourself) but as for me I somehow became that guy. </div>
<div>
Here's how it happened (I think). When I was a young kid my family wasn't poor by any means but my Dad was a bonafide cheapskate so we did without things like TV, fancy vacations, theme parks, going out to eat, (except for the local Burger Chef for 25 cent hamburgers) until I was old enough to use guilt tactics to manipulate them into giving me these things. As I came into my teens I was able to manipulate them into a TV, name brand clothes and lots of sweet cars (family was in the car biz). Looking back, the more "cool stuff" I got the unhappier I became. I evolved into a self-centered ass with serious entitlement issues but I was ignorant to what was happening to me. The older I got the more insatiable my appetite for "stuff" became, so I fed it and fed it, ignorant to the self-destruction I was setting myself up for. </div>
<div>
But now that I'm older and wiser I'm all better now, have it all figured out and no longer need or want "stuff" to make me happy. The End. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBUcJBPxnhqPy9IhuO2XEQXxEGsTm1F0MouoRruJ3LTUvdoo4zuRSwiOhYXurQML_NytIt4qQbvzROQsVFUH3QS8bQVEKTt8UxoUX4JjIc-4fJe9nyxklvHIpv_30b_nLivM-3Urs6u8m/s1600/beach+hoouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivBUcJBPxnhqPy9IhuO2XEQXxEGsTm1F0MouoRruJ3LTUvdoo4zuRSwiOhYXurQML_NytIt4qQbvzROQsVFUH3QS8bQVEKTt8UxoUX4JjIc-4fJe9nyxklvHIpv_30b_nLivM-3Urs6u8m/s320/beach+hoouse.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Crap! I just remembered that some of you reading this actually know me and would certainly dare to call me a big f'in liar. So here's the reality. I've tried (and succeeded to a very small degree) to curb my "stuff" appetite but the damage is done. I'm jaded, ruined and broken beyond reasonable repair. So now my plan is to overcompensate by moving to somewhere in Central America sometime in the next 10 years and give the world and all it's "stuff" the finger. I don't need your fancy cars, you're humongous 3D TVs and media rooms, pools, vacations, designer clothes, 4g smart phones, etc. All I need is a simple oceanfront house on the beach, a boat for fishing (I need to eat right?) a jeep or maybe a Hummer because the terrain is mountainous in some areas (also to pull my boat) and a cell phone so I can still check my email and call my family now and then. Of course I'll need Internet capabilities for my phone/email and if I'm going to have that I might as well have an Xbox for rainy days right? An Xbox is worthless without a TV so I'll just get a modest 42" HD LCD. But now that I have the TV and Xbox I have full access to Netflix and all the movies I could ever want! Also, I've read that having a full time maid (mamacita) cost's only a couple bucks a day so I'll be happy to help the natives by providing one of them full time employment in my home, that's the least I could do for such poor and needy people right? I wonder if they have sushi there? Life is going to be so much better! The next 10 years can't go fast enough! Simple life, here I come!<br />

I truly am impressed that thousands of gays will be making this exponential statement (whatever it is) in chicken fast food establishments across this chicken fried country. A friend of mine said "Jeff, they're just thrusting their homosexuality in our face!" but being the people loving, optimist that I am don't believe that to be true.

I believe this day to be a day of reckoning for us straight laced heterosexuals. We will begin to see clearly and understand the significance of their plight. I'm sure that as my kids (and thousands of others around the country) witness 2 men embracing each other in a passionate tangling of mustaches, they will undoubtedly understand the rightness of this moment. I honestly don't think I'll have to explain to them why Adam is kissing Steve or why Ava is kissing Eve, they will simply feel the natural pretensionless love in the air. I am quite certain this day won't be polluted with leather ass-less chaps or nipple tassels. Nor will it be scandalized with scantly clad rainbow painted bodies or 7 foot tall high heeled wearing transvestites with voices like James Earl Jones.<br />
Okay, okay enough sarcasm. I'm just going to put it like this. This particular demonstration is no more endearing or appropriate than the so called Christians that walk around with "God hates homo's" signs. The only message being given or received by either party is one of haughty self-righteous pride and ignorance. The proud are so consumed with themselves that their thoughts and beliefs are far from God: "In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God." <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+10%3A4&version=NIV"><span style="color: red;">Ps 10:4</span></a> </span><br />
That is all.<br />

Some of you may know where the name came from and some of you may not, so I'll clarify. Evil Never Sleeps is a song written and performed by my band <span style="color: #e69138;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aoband"><span style="color: #e69138;">Above Only</span></a>.</span> We wrote this song with our good friend<span style="color: #e69138;"> </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Benjamin-Judah-Kasica/259687313598"><span style="color: orange;">Ben Kasica</span></a> who was the guitar player for the band<span style="color: yellow;"> </span><a href="http://www.skillet.com/"><span style="color: #e69138;">Skillet</span></a> for about 10 years. We've had great success with the song, reaching the top 10 Billboard chart (Christian Rock) and airtime on dozens of radio and internet stations around the country and even expanding into other countries such as Australia, Spain, Belarus, Canada, Japan, etc. You can also hear the song on Pandora Radio, Spotify and iHeartRadio. Anyway, this blog isn't about promoting the song or even my band really (but feel free to support) it's a blog about every day experiences and perceptions. I'm talking about good stuff, bad stuff, important stuff, not so important stuff, personal stuff, spiritual stuff, you get the point. Of course this blog could evolve into something else like a blog about cooking with lentil, catfish farming, or even pole dancing for the slightly obese, who really knows? But for now it's just about "stuff" and it's general purpose is to amuse myself.<br />

At any point feel free to chime in with a comment of your own. I welcome the insight of the masses but I'm likely to disagree with you if you're part of "the masses" simply because "the masses" are usually wrong. :) How will I know if you're part of "the masses"? That's easy, you'll probably say something that makes no sense or is riddled with only half truths, or you may just tell me to burn in hell. At that point I'll laugh and nod saying "yep, he/she is one of "the masses". My point is, please comment with your opinions and feedback and I'll try to receive it with a smile and and open mind. </div>Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04736944149995304038noreply@blogger.com1
