Slash Out of Tune in Grammy Awards 2010

Have you watch the 2010 Grammy Awards? To be truthful, I am a little bit sick with all the Hip Hop, R n' B and Country in that show. Where the F*** is Rock n' Roll???

This year there are two performances I eager to watch, Bon Jovi playing one of their old song, which rocks!, and Slash accompanied those hip hop singers. So, when the hip hop singers (Jamie Foxx, etc) were sing some hip hop song which I don't know, then Slash playing the November Rain melody.

The thing is, the sound of the guitar is really out of tune! How come?! It is a big show, why that thing could happen?

Well, fortunately, even though out of tune, you still can see Slash's guitar skill.. Which ROCKS!!

Reaching Out Your Goal!

Lose weight. Reduce stress. Drink less. Be less grumpy. Improve education.

Be one of the 12 per cent who actually live up to their New Year’s resolutions.

Lofty goals abounded when we woke after celebrating the end of 2009. Where do you stand now? Hopelessly lost, and building up for a more practical list in 2011?

When setting a goal, ask yourself first of all if your goals are realistic and if you are really ready to make the changes in your life necessary to reach those goals.

"Most people don't take into consideration whether they're ready to do what it takes to achieve their goals," says Steven Rosenberg, PhD. Rosenberg is a behavior therapist, the team psychotherapist for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, and author of I Hope the Hell I WIN! Turning Hope into Reality...How Winners Win! If you're going through a stressful time at work, for example, this may not be the best time to start a weight loss program; maybe you'd do better to wait a few months and start on, say, your birthday.

The point is : KEEP MOTIVATED!
