New Years Eve Resolution Ideas For 2010-2011


New Years Eve Resolution Ideas For 2010-2011

Before you know it, New Years will be here again. It almost sneaks up on us, leaving us unprepared to have a plan for the next year that helps us better our lives. If you’re one of those people who get caught off card by news years, or if you’re just plum out of ideas, here are a few that you might find invigorating.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

Have Compassion

This is easy and hard at the same time. So often in our world, misfortunate things happen to unfortunate people. Natural Disasters, economic downturn, disease, war and a myriad of other things. Often times in our world, we forget that we have many things that others do not, whether through misfortunate events or simply misfortune of birth. Some choose that path and others land there because another person took away they choices.

Either way, this new years eve, it would be great to make a resolution to be more compassionate to those who do not have what you have. Not necessarily those who have less then you do, but anyone who is in need of some compassion from another human being. Take some bread to a soup kitchen, volunteer some time this year, take some stuff you don’t need that is useful to a homeless camp in your area. Give a rescued pet a forever home, tutor a child in need, offer to help your neighbors or something else you can think of. Spread the love!

Write And Play A Song

No new years resolution would be so worthy as one that offers a challenge. This one is not an impossible challenge though. You can easily get a guitar, keyboard, flute, drum, computer or other instrument and learn to play some simple rhythms. Then get out your pen and write to the rhythm. Then wal la! You have met your news years resolution. Check out places like http://www.tabcrawler.com or http://www.chordie.com to learn some easy guitar tabs, then check out youtube for some easy beginner lessons. Learning to play an instrument is a life long benefit that scientist have proven helps build your intellect! Try it out, it’s not as hard as you think!

Shop Locally

Why go all the way out to walmart for that cheap crappy stuff, when you can spend the same money going to a local store? You either spend your money trying to get to walmart in gas, or you spend it at a local store and save on gas. So why not help the local economy and help us strive to get away from foreign dependence and buy local? It’s an easy resolution! Put it on your list and you’ll find your whole world will change for the better, as will the lives around you. There’s hardly any better resolution that that!

Grow Your Own

Whether it’s food, cotton, fuel or flowers, there are plenty of reason to get out your thumb and go green this year. With all this talk of global warming and trying to bring our planet back to full health, why not start right at home? Every small task completed helps the earth little by little and the more of us that do it, double the amount of help it truly brings.

Get out your shovel, muck clothes and vegetable seeds and start planting. Before you know it, you’ll have fresh salads, tastey flavor enhancers and better health for you and the planet!

Get Your Cannabinoids

With all the talk of cannabinoids and the cannabinoid receptors in our brain, cannabis advocates everywhere are shouting at the top of every bell tower about the health benefits of getting your daily cannabinoids. No, I’m not suggesting you should go out and get high and build up your THC, I’m talking about more than that. You don’t even have to take in the THC to get the miraculous benefits of CBD’s (cannabinoids).

Take the time to look into the science of cannabis and all it can offer you. Once you do, I am sure you will find that THC is only a small part of the overall picture. You can cook and eat cannabis in a way that removes the THC and gives you all the cancer inhibitive, bone regenerative, creativity inducing, pain relieving benefits that can be offered by no other plant on earth.

Study Something Esoteric

Why not expand your world and your mind and take a class or two in the esoteric region of study? You can often find free or low cost ( a month and up) online schools and classes that teach psychic skills, paranormal studies, ancient religions, secret societies, ancient civilizations, chakras, energy medicine and more.

Start your new years with something interesting this year and make a resolution to learn something unusual! It doesn’t even have to be esoteric for that matter, just choose something you normally wouldn’t that can expand your mind, some unusual, something fun, something interesting!

Invent A New Game

This is fun and easy. Plus you never know, you’re new game might just become the next world wide hit and make you a couple million bucks! Don’t bank on that, but put your full energy into the same. How you will start? Will it have cards? Or a board? Maybe some dice and a story book?

Take a look at some other games that have been invented to find some inspiration, or look online for some easy instructions to getting you started and you’ll be having fun in no time. Put this item on your resolution list and you’ll have fun and do something the better everyone’s lives at the same time!

Pay It Forward

“Pay It Forward” has been gaining in popularity for some time. This is especially great because it is a way to change your world and another persons in a way like no other. The idea is to do something for 3 or more people, preferrable something they really need done and to ask for only one thing in return; that they pay it forward. Put all your effort into the task as if you were being paid for it, with your full intent on doin your best.

Then when you are done or have given them what they needed, ask them to do the same for 3 or more other people in their lives. The only catch is, they can’t do something for you directly, or that would ruin the whole point.

Go and ask your elder neighbor if you can mow their lawn for them, or tell you’re best friend that you can paint their house for them, or make a sweater for someone who needs one. Give someone some music lessons, teach them your business or help them with something. It’s not hard to do, makes you feel good inside and eventually it will return to you with many benefits.

Whatever New Years Resolution you choose, make it interesting and make sure that it’s something you can complete. There is no use making a resolution you can’t keep. Choose something that challenges you to get out of your “normal” pattern and have fun with it!

Happy soon to be new year! :)

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills run for your lives Enjoy!

Live Perform Tips. What Should I Do To Overcome Stage Fright?


Live Perform Tips. What Should I Do To Overcome Stage Fright?

Watching live music performances is something that is very enjoyable and exciting. Looking at the performers stage act, their harmonies, sound effects, and many more that can make us stunned and lost track of time. The artist or performer really know what to do, they seemed to make us think that it is very easy to do although it is not as easy as you see, maybe if you have experience with big music events, and have played very often that you even forget how many times you have performed on stage, it is not a big deal. But what if it is your first stage? What should you do to play good music on stage? Because, when we are faced with a lot audience, especially for the first time, we will become nervous, we get stage fright, forgetting everything, and don’t know what to do.

It is a common thing that musician faced, just like my friend, he played very well at practice, great skill and technique, but when he performs, he seemed to went back three levels down. He totally forgot everything, and playing himself out of the concept.

There are many things that we have to prepare before a gig, especially if it is an important show or big event.

Here are some tips to play well on live perform, and overcome stage fright:

1. Make sure that everything is ready.

If you are a musician, and performs a concert, by making people pay to see you, obviously we have to give the best. Bring your best equipment, if it has been provided by the event organizer, at least bring a backup equipment, who knows what will happen when we are on stage. Take the advantage of sound check session. Arrange the most convenient position on the stage, set up your instrument as you wish, such as the height of the seat on the drum, where to put your guitar effects, or small things like “where do I have to put my drinking bottle”. If you have more funds, hire some crew to help you overcome the technical stuff on stage. Make sure the monitor is very comfortable on the stage to your ears, What would you do if you can not monitor your vocalist singing? or the bass drum sound on your monitor? or even your own guitar sound? Don’t let it happen! it will greatly affect your performance on stage. Arrange it smoothly, discuss it with your sound engineer about what you want to hear on the stage.

2. Observe the stage

This is very important especially for vocalists and players usually move freely on stage. If you play on a big stage, set up strategies so that you can cover the entire stage with your actions, you do not want to gather in the middle stage of a width of 50 meters, on the contrary, if the small stage. Arrange a comfortable position so you do not collide with each other while on stage, which can restrict movement, or your actions on stage. Take advantage of the stage as well as possible, because, remember! when on stage, you are the star. Audiences do not want tosee you becomes stiff and awkward on stage.

3. Encourage one another in the band.

In a band, solidity is very important. Mutual trust, and give the best for your band partner. Discuss what you would do on stage. Mutually open to each other is a good start. Give input on what to do, and what should not. Do not ever think about the weaknesses of your friends, but always thinking about what are they good at, and always trying to cover the shortfall. That way you will become a very solid band. If you trust each other, trust me, at any kind of stage will be fun and exciting.

Now it’s time to start the show.

4. Don’t be nervous

It is often faced by novice musicians, nervous! You find dozens, hundreds, even thousands of eyes are watching you. Inhale deeply,I can do this! say it over and over in your mind. Play with calm. Many of the events that I often come across is, when playing in front of the crowd, we usually play a faster tempo, even very fast. Especially for the drummer. Once again, Do not panic! If you get past the first song well, the next song would be very easy. The stage is yours. If you enjoy your play, then the audience will enjoy your play. Isn’t that the main purpose of the audience? they come to watch a good show.

5. Don’t do too much.

Do the same as when you exercise. Do not spoil the harmony of a song just because you are nervous, or want to show your skills, and do a lot of fill in almost every part of the song. You play in a band, not solo! Show your band concept. When to perform solo, or high skill that fits with the portion of the song. This is a very often I see in beginner band, they do not know what to do on stage, when they do the show and see the drummer or another guitarist, or even a girl he liked who happened to watch their performances. Most players will feel nervous, and some will feel cocky, by doing everything he can on the stage, and destroyed the rhythm of your band. Calm down guys. You will look very unprofessional on stage.

6. Stay Focus!

In a single concert, we usually can carry 10 to 20 songs. It will require incredible stamina. Prepare everything well. Prepare your best condition as possible before the show. When exhausted you’ll easily lose your focus, and can affect your game. Always prepare a bottle of drinking water close to you, do not forget to always taking vitamins before the show, get enough sleep before a performance. It will help you stay focused. Some of the above might just as an illustration of my very little experience. There are many other points we have to do during the show. The important thing is to give the best you can, and be yourself. Do not be afraid to take all the opportunities that exist. Keep practicing. Do not ever get enough. Be a humble musician, and appreciate every musician that exists. Technique is not the main thing, but the soul in music is the main thing. Play music with your heart, and you’ll understand. Music is something very beautiful in this world. I can not imagine if there is no music in this world. Do not try to play music, but live within the music, with the heart.
