Positive relationships. You deserve to be happy.

I am careful about who I let into my life, my Facebook, and anything that is personal to my immediate surroundings.
So I don't have the problem of friends or family biting my head off because we may have different beliefs in our politics, religion, ways to raise a child and more. I only have a few friends who have strong political views opposite of mine, but they are good people, and we know how to agree to disagree. I had one gf, I still dearly love, but she deleted me because of my Occupy posts, she said it made her sick that I was sucked into that thinking. Which really, I am sad for her to be the opposite. We are still friends in real life, it's just that she doesn't want it on FB, because she gets heated easy, and doesn't want to get heated at me, cause she does love me. But I know lots have that problem with their friends and family, especially when they are online friends.

You do know it can't get any easier than to hit that "Delete" button on an online friend/follower/family member.

They'll get over it, because your real life relationship is stronger than that, or they won't and you will be that much healthier and happier, in the drama free department.

I always tell people "you only live once", and it is YOUR life you need to make decisions for. YOUR life is not to please what other people think you should do.

So long as you live right by your God and just treat others as you wish to be treated, life can be a beautiful blessing.

P.S. I have been on Facebook for about 3 years now and have only deleted, maybe 3 people. I only let the good ones in, so I don't have that problem. I have 100's of friend requests and family ones too. I just look over them and keep them there in that list. They don't go anywhere. And if anyone asked me why I haven't added them yet , I can either say sorry, been busy, I will try to remember to check with it later. Most will not ask a 2nd time, and if they do, be honest. But nicely.
For ex; I may be a strongly devoted to God kind of gal, and I have friends who happen to be Atheists who post Atheist news, articles and crack jokes at God. I would just say you are my friend, but I don't want to see those things. We can still message each other on Facebook, we just don't have to see each others walls.

Please Read, Watch, & SHARE- (Often) Help capture Joseph Kony

OK , I just watched this and cried. PRETTY PLEASE put aside 30 mins and watch this ASAP. this is a world wide movement, and the only way it will work is if we have the world of humans getting involved. This is about helping to catch the worlds #1 most dangerous criminal, wanted for kidnapping and enslaving over 30 thousand children from their homes. Making the girls into sex slaves, and the boys into a mutilating military corp, for his own private military, for no purpose, just for his own greedy self worth. He is a Hitler.
So please watch it, and see how you can help, it's as little as a few dollars and a little bit of your time, to post on FB, write a blog, add the vid/link your Co's newsletter, hang posters, put a sign in your yard, wear a bracelet and tell people what it stands for when they ask. The world needs to know who this man is NOW, if not, our US military is gonna step down. Only the peoples voice of the world will help keep our military there, to help keep this from being any worse that the already 30 THOUSAND children that have already been enslaved. Many of these children, after kidnapped were forced to kill their own mothers and fathers.
IF for some reason, you swear you can't afford 30 minutes of your precious free life, then please Fwd it to the last 5 or so minutes to see what you can do.
Thanks, and please, please Share this, every time it crosses your mind. Thanks my lovelies.

You NEED to know. Don't be the uneducated. US Gov't and now the Canadian Gov't too. Invasion of Privacy.

OMG! What the F is going on? Thank God or whoever you thank, that Occupiers exist and started before all this shit started going down, so somebody will be fighting the fight, while the rest of the lazy ass, hypocritical world gets fucked.
So here in the US, they just passed the law and have opened secret FEMA camps to detain American citizens on the simplest "accusation" that they "might" have involvement in a terrorist cell. No lawyer, no phone call, no Mother F'en trial, just poof! you disappear into thin air, to everyone else in the world.
And now this in Canada? Watch out. Wake up!!!! I fear the future, at the same time I have some hope still. XO Spyder

New artists you need to know, love and support, Says I.



NOTE: because of the array of vids I posted, give it 30 seconds to load them, then the page will scroll smoother.

("NEW" meaning 10 yrs or less, most are much less)

Ok this blog started on an FB thread and a gentleman named Wayne asked me to name one “good band”: that is new music. So I couldn’t just name one as there are so many. So here it goes.

Zen Rizing, I am so stoked that they just got chosen to open for Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger this Friday at the Whiskey, I'll be going to support them and the other 2 are the fringe benefit :)
Ya know half of these newest artists go to other countries and sell out large venues, and here in America, they do small clubs and have 25 to 100 only, because people are too closed minded.
One more NOTE- I don’t like any of these bands because of only one song, it is because of 10-20-30 songs. Another reason that adds to mine and others burning love for these bands is they communicate with their fans, they KNOW the fans are the reason they can keep doing what they love, and I love that about all of them.

If you dig any of these guys, go friend/Like them on their FB pages and let them know I sent you, because word of mouth is the only way artists get any love anymore.

I have met all of these artists and friended many because they only play small clubs, because radio does not play new music anymore, Except KROQ, but they only play their style. We need more stations to intro more new artists, everyone always says theirs no good new music out, when actually there is a shitload, you just gotta go to the small clubs and find them, and its good to know people (like me) who promote the best of the best as much as possible. Cause they deserve the love and we want them to keep making new music, cause they’re so dam good at it.

And some other new musicians who do get radio play (Thank you 106.7 KROQ) , but only 1-2 songs to be sickened of after short time, but have a great library of awesome tunes.

And you know to prove of my great taste. Slash has picked at least 3 of these artists to sing on his latest album. Beth Hart, Ian (Wolfmother), Myles (Alter Bridge)

So what do you think? Do you like any or all of them? Do you know any or all of them?
They deserve to be recognized, I hope you can share this blog or their songs with your friends and get them known. Especially the top half of artists as they have not had radio play here in California, and only get some small town radio stations nationwide.

Peace out and don’t forget to hit the LIKE button on this page. 
Hugs to all.

SpyderRogue's web: Psychological thrillers. My best of's.

SpyderRogue's web: Psychological thrillers. My best of's.

Psychological thrillers. My best of's.

What is a psychological thriller? To me, it is one that can mess with your head, something you deem could be plausible to happen in real life. This could be either because you may share some of the beliefs in the movie, or you know there are psychos out there, that have this mentality.

I am proof (in more ways than one) that a twisted upbringing (in re to movies) does not mean you will grow up to be a psycho or twisted individual..
If you talk to anyone that knows me, I am sweet, considerate and honest at ALL times.

These are some movies that come to my mind first, that had an impact on me when I was a young child. When I say impact, I do not mean it shaped me to who I am today, persay, but when I watched them, they moved me emotionally in one way or another, that I’ll never forget them.

I have been a thriller movie /horror movie buff since I was 4.
I used to sneak up after my parents were in bed to watch Bette Davis movies and all the other twisted horror on at late night in the early to mid 70’s.



Scary flicks from my childhood – age 4-16

Alfred Hitchcock ( Movies and TV Series)



Twilight Zone (1959–1964) (TV)



Outer Limits (1963 to 1965) (TV)




Vincent Price Movies




Bette Davis movies
The Nanny (1965)
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane 1962
And more, I don’t remember or know the titles, as when I was young, the title didn’t impress me as much as the movie itself.




The Hitchhiker (1983) (TV)




Magic – (1978)




The Bad Seed – 1956




The Omen (1976)




Helter Skelter (1976) (TV)




Jaws (1975)




Carrie (1976)





Sybil (1976) (TV)




The Shining (1980)




These are some movies that have left a mark on me in my adulthood.
Great movies, great scripts, great actors.


Frailty (2001)

Fight Club


Sliver (1993)




Misery (1990)




The Cube (1980)




Natural Born Killers (1994)




Crash (2004)




Trainspotting (1990)




Jacob’s Ladder (1990)




Memento –(2000)
Love this movie, and can relate well, because I have a brother with short term memory.




Se7en – (1995)




Fight Club – (1999)




What are some scary movies or psychological thrillers,
you remember watching, in your childhood?

Facebook “Like” button etiquette


Facebook “Like” button etiquette

You know when FB started, everyone was hitting the “like” button all of the time for anything and everything, then people started being a little  more particular, maybe as not to be so anxious?
Now, I rarely see “Likes” at all. Why is that?
I see people “Sharing” my posts, so I know they are reading them and apparently liking them, but they don’t hit the “Like” button on  mine or others posts. Why is this?

It’s like they have weird thoughts in their head, and don’t even think about why they have those thoughts, they just go with them.
For example;  “Oh they know I like and read their posts, because I have told them before”
But not thinking about the now of it, how do we/I know anyone cares what I post unless people at least hit the Like button?

And I am not just talking about myself and the pages I admin, but many others as well. I know many people who put out great posts daily, and I even see those ones ‘shared” by others, yet they never hit the “Like” button on those posts either.

It kind of makes a person feel used ya know. Just saying.

We don’t post on FB for ourselves, we post for “others” to read. We can write in a diary or journal if it was meant for only ourselves. (Speaking for every one of us) .

Yes I do occasionally get an email or wall post telling me Thank you for all of the posts I put out and that they appreciate how I keep them up on the world of music and all that surrounds it.

I do my best to only post info I believe could be beneficial or enlightening to the readers, and I “always” ensure I use reliable sources when I do share. And I always do the dirty work of investigating, researching and validating anything I post. So no-one can ever come back to me saying I gave them bogus info or a virus.

So you know you can trust whatever it is that I put out to share with my friends. I care about my friends, and will always do all that I can to give them the best of everything.

I try to hit that “Like” button often, to let people know they are not posting to themselves, but to us. That I see it, and like it, or agree with it, and comment when I feel it or have a minute to stop and do so.

So I am asking you all, to be a little more considerate to YOUR public and friends and hit the “Like” button often when you dig what others have posted. It’s courteous.
And I only have “good people” in my friends list, so it does amaze me a little that they are not seeing it like I do.

I am open to hear anybody’s reasons for why they rarely ever hit the Like button. It only takes a millisecond, so don’t use time as an excuse, I won’t buy it-lol.

Signed
SpyderRogue a “Like-A’Holic”

Love you all, you know that.
Peace, Love and Rock N Roll.
