It was a couple of months ago I decided I wanted to learn how to play the guitar. I’d had an older acoustic around the house for the past couple of years and had never touched it but it was always in the back of my mind to learn.

When I finally got the urge up to give it a try I decided I wanted to learn from home using videos some how rather then sign up for private lessons. While I had read that taking private lessons was the better way to go I just didn’t have the extra time to commit an hour every week to attend a lesson.

I opted for a dvd home study course I found online on another blog about guitar. The blog had reviewed learn and master guitar, a 20 dvd home study course that teaches you how to play from scratch all at home. What really caught my eye about it was that they offered online support after purchasing the product. I could actually ask questions about the guitar online, how much closer could I get to a personal lesson then that. Videos of the instructor at home and access to him online for questions.

It’s been a couple of months now since I started using the product. While I don’t have anything to go on it seems to be easy to follow and I’ve gone from not knowing how to hold or tune my guitar to strumming basic chords and reading music.

There are some points that it just seems things are taking a long time to learn but I keep telling myself that even the guitar greats had to start some where.

Going out on a date with my current girlfriend is always better whenever I try to look nice and have a clean look.. I guess I have my Gillette shaving and my friend’s fashion advices to thank for it. for some reason, my girl is always in a good mood whenever I don’t have any growth on my face and we get to enjoy things like going to vacations, being in the beach and going to theatres to watch some plays. It is the one thing that I am glad I have my girlfriend now because she’s the only one that I have dated so far that has a lot of interest in stage plays as I am. Another interest that we both share is of course, movies… we always watch movies together, and then go out to our favorite restaurant together, right after the movie. She really loves the clean look and since I only want the best for her, I give her everything she wants. A night with her with my shaved face means a great night because she is always extra sweet and extra caring. This is why I always bring my Gillette razors with me so I would always have the clean look.

One of the famous forms of entertainment is musical theater. It’s a form or theater wherein songs, dance and dialogues are combined to amuse the audience. It started in the early 20th century in all parts of the world, London, New York, Broadway and some smaller theaters until people called them musicals. Speaking of which, the only musicals that I watched on stage were The West Side Story and Les Miserables; the others, I just saw on HBO, like The Producers and The Phantom of the Opera. I still prefer to watch Broadway Shows of course, the new musicals turned into big movies nowadays seem overrated to me. The actors are good, but I think they’re missing something, maybe the productions or quality; it’s hard to figure out exactly, they’ve turned too modern I guess. Watching live musicals are beyond comparable, you feel like being transformed into another time and dimension and they are very much dramatic that’s why I’d rather watch them live than just taped and shown in big screen. Today, when I heard the news that Hair comes to Broadway, I was more than elated. Knowing that it’s one of the famous musicals of all time, I must have Broadway tickets for me and my girl. If only I could contact my friend again, I might have discount tickets. Too bad, she has moved to a faraway land. I think I’ll just be booking online.

Television experience has never really been that good until the arrival of satellite network TV became possible. Before, we were just used to using cable lines and enduring poor quality picture whenever there are too many users within your area that basically makes it frustrating to a lot of people. Dish TV network and some other satellite television provider have made it far better for us all. Dish network deals have seemingly popped out from all parts of the United States, especially the authorized dealers such as Radioshack and some other internet web sites. They all have different ways of selling dish networks packages, but of course, we all know that the main idea here is to have the best television experience as much as we possibly could. Dish TV has been around for quite a while now and I believe it is also one of the pioneers of satellite television in the US. They have been able to even acquire such outstanding customer service awards over the years due to the quality of service that they provide their customers. So far, there hasn’t been anything that could be compared with the services that this company has and at this point, I guess it is safe to say that they will continue to be at the top for a long time.

I was browsing for some mattresses in a store yesterday when I remembered watching Adam Sandler’s movie “Click” with Kate Beckinsale and what made me think of it is because of the scene in the movie where Adam Sandler’s character went to a store to find a universal remote control and he went through a bunch of mattresses as he went deeper in to the store, then of course, after that, he got in to weird situations until eventually to his demise, only to wake up on a bed inside the store, being watched by a sales clerk in the store. I was just wondering if there are such mattresses that can make you dream that way and see everything like it happened in real life… then who needs movies? You can just lie down on your bed, shut your eyes, wait for you to sleep and then the magic happens where you see yourself in all sorts of adventure, and the best part is, you remember everything when you wake up, in contrast to what factual science states that we remember only the last part of our dreams and it is always black and white. Anyway, I don’t think there will ever be one so that should just stay in my dreams.

Research has shown that the movie Night at the Museum has a big impact to the society. The amounts of people visiting museums in the United States have more than doubled. It’s reasonable I guess, for I even found myself more hooked into museums and art galleries after seeing the movie. I was even elated by the sequel; The Battle of Smithsonian is one of the superb comedy flicks that really caught my eye candy. I think I took it to more serious steps when I booked for a short trip to Russia. This tourism country, known for architectural landscapes, space adventures, culture and food is also known for Russian art gallery like the Tsereteli Art Gallery and a lot more museums. In my itinerary I made sure that I would visit the museum of submarine because I’ve never seen a museum like that and the very famous museum of heroes. My curiosity has been killing me as the time of my flight approaches. I’ve been to many museums before but I guess it’s kind of different this time. I am very excited to know about tsars, classicism epoch and ancient Russian history. I think I can find a character more interesting than Kahmunrah.

I have been trying to find out what are the things that would give me that excitement and thrill because I have almost done just about everything that I could think of when it comes to traveling on land, when it hit me… it should be good to start training for scuba diving so I could try it as well. I am not that good at swimming but I guess it is nothing that a good swimming lesson won’t fix… I just thought I should know a lot about scuba diving, so I tried joining scuba forums so I could get some good tips from the people that actually do this for a hobby and for a living. From all the people that I was able to talk to, I think that scuba diving could easily become my hobby as well because they tell me such good stories that I never hear from mountain climbing. They told me that the stories that they tell will never give enough justice to how it really is underwater so I should try it. One of them even jokingly told me that once I went scuba diving, I will never go back. I don’t know about that sentence but I will surely try it to see what the fuss is all about

I got referred to a web site by a friend where he said I can get free movie downloads + divx formats. Since I really love movies, I immediately went to the site 66stage to get me some new movies. When I got there, I was surprised that the home page showed me tons of new movies and they are all ready for download in just a matter of clicking them. When I tried to click the movie X Men Origins: Wolverine, I got a bit disappointed because the pop up window sent me to a signup page where I have to pay them via credit card before I could make a download. But then again I thought; only stage66 can get me unlimited download of movies for a 3 Year VIP Access and give me support for only $12.97 per year. I signed up anyway, even though I thought that the ad is a bit phony because it only gets free when you pay for it. I don’t think I will ever find a web site that would offer great value than this and right now, I am enjoying tons of movies and even TV series… I can finally watch Heroes with no commercial break!

I have been a big fan on Tony Hawk for a lot of years and even though he hasn’t been too present lately in the Extreme Games, he still is my favorite skateboarder. Anthony Frank “Tony” Hawk was born May 12, 1968. He is an American professional skateboarder that gained significant fame for completing the first 900 move at the 1999 X-Games as well as his licensed video game titles distributed by Activision. I have been following him ever since he made that 900 and I never failed to buy his video games, as well as some of his memorabilia. I also never missed his Boom Boom Huck Jam events and I even got a chance to meet the man himself in one of those events. As for myself, I am also trying to get in to extreme sports and I have a collection of skate decks in my house and one of them has Tony Hawk’s signature on it, which I consider one of my prized possessions. I haven’t really competed in any major events but I am always practicing my moves and tried to compete in a minor contest. I can only wish that I can reach the success that Tony Hawk has ever achieved.

I’m an avid fan of Hugh Jackman, even to the point that my boyfriend gets jealous sometimes. There’s no movie of him that I didn’t watch and I make sure that I’ve researched his upcoming movie even before a trailer or information is officially released. I just love his acting and even his hosting skills impressed me His latest hosting of the Oscars I think proved that he’s really one of the best actors in time. There’s one time that I missed his interview with Ellen,good thing there’s YouTube for me to catch up. The interview was more than 12 minutes so the video was in two installment series. After watching the first part and the second part I found a related video entitled Wolverine in military aircraft Europe. My first instinct was to automatically click the video and to my dismay it was just a guy wearing a Wolverine outfit while flying a mig-29. I should have been pissed because some people are just too good at playing jerks especially in YouTube but I let it passed. It was a good laugh though and I even read the comment, the video was taken from their adventure tours in Russia.
