Cheers and Jeers

WOW...
What a great week so far. OK, so I'm still sick, but I'm not going to let it slow me down. I don't know why, I just seem to be in a great mood. Let's start with last Friday...

I had drill this past weekend, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Now, I'll get into this for a moment, because I haven't really talked much about the Army yet. I'm in the Army Reserves here in Phoenix, serving as a Chemical Operations Specialist. Sounds so cool, doesn't it? Nah, it's not all it's cracked up to be. This past weekend, for instance, I did absolutely nothing that even remotely related to my job in the army. It was fun, however... I played the operation force (the enemy), which made the day go by quicker. The Army is good, I am proud of what I've done, which is only basic training and advanced training... and a month in Korea... but nothing really big. Nonetheless, I'm still proud to be a soldier in today's Army, I'll defend it to anyone. I'm terrible at it, however... Bad at physical fitness, shooting, all the army stuff. I used to be pretty good at all that stuff, I just recently got really lazy. As per the rest of my life I could quite possibly say. Although I will say that DJing is just about the only thing I haven't been lazy towards. Who knows. I just know the Army isn't my career; which I really don't think is bad, I've done my service, it's not my passion so why continue? I'm in for another couple years and I'll work through it until I get my letter.

Anyway, back to the weekend... so we had drill, I was messin around in the dirt, then we went home. That night for some reason I was in dire need to go out to the clubs. Now I normally have a pretty good influence on the evening's festivities, that's because I don't speak up much, I go mostly with the flow of events. However once in a while, I'll speak up, and bam! There's the winner. That was last year. Now? We are BORING! I realized that I've never been to the big clubs with Battle and Kate, what's up with that? So we have to go to Maloney's all the time? What about dropping some cash and going high class? Well I tried... I got all dressed up in my clubbiest attire, then it was out to Battle's. Well I call this guy up - the MF is sleeping! He's just waking up, and hasn't even showered yet. PLUS - he's always cranky when he wakes up, so the big club is most likely out. Kate and I show up around the same time, and out struts bill in a sloppy shirt and sneakers, yawning. "Battle?" I say... "you're gonna wear that out?" Obviously, he had no intention of going to the clubs, in fact, he added to it by saying that he didn't want to pay cover anywhere. Great. My broke friends. I'm pretty broke myself, but occasionally even I can scrounge together a few dollars to hit the nightclubs. Kate was broke too, so now - we're screwed. What do we do now? I think....

Well we finally came to a comprimise, Sugar Daddy's. It's kinda like best of both worlds... hip, packed night spot that's low-key. Well so we're off. We get there and I go valet. I'm the most dressed up, just to remind you, so now I have to act that way. I wasn't most dressed up at the club, however, so I felt secure. We did a lap, then found our spot by the entrance. You see at clubs, I like to 'people watch.' It's totally fun - I start telling whole stories about people based soley on what I see, expressions, body language, loudness, sexiness.... I paint a picture of their entire lives. Some one normally cuts in, however, to tell me I'm wrong. Oh well, I think it's fun. But, this place happens to be a "meat market." Meaning, everyone there is single and looking, oh... and everyone is HOT too. Now - I'm not the hottest guy in the world. I like to think I have my ups and downs when it comes to looks, downs mainly being my nice little gut I got going on... but anyway, I think I have trouble picking up girls for a much different reason. I think it takes a very specific person to handle my personality - especially here in Phoenix. The culture here is pretty easy going, but most of the nightlife contains the wealthier crowds, who are normally not very down to earth. And, if they aren't wealthy, well they try to act like it. Additionally, the way I dress and act both are very different from other gentlemen in this crowd. Besides 90% of them being built like rocks with a deep tan, the style is much different. It's much more casual, baggy jeans, sandles, light colored shirts with the sleeves rolled halfway up... it's just not my style. First off I'm just not rock hard or tan enough, but above that - where did they learn to dress in public? I would wear that crap around the house, not out to a bar. Granted, this is a low key bar, but the worst part is the girls LOVE it. Guys with long, nasty hair, sloppy clothes, with hat on tilted slightly to the right. Stupid. Also, what is up with that hat like that? Are they trying to get shade on their right ear? Is their right sideburn getting too much direct sunlight? Stupid. What happened to being presentable, a nice shirt, pants, shoes, hair neat and clean. Now I've implemented some of these styles, I have the 'shaggy face' look, you know, the five o'clock shadow all the time... I just bought a pink shirt from Guess because the competition is ruthless out here! Also, these guys just don't know how to present themselves, talking incorrectly, treating women like meat. I'll be the first to admit - I check out girls - I look at the T & A, I picture myself screwing some girl at the end of the night. I have a dick, it sometimes thinks for me. BUT! That doesn't mean I'm gonna go up and hit on a girl just to get in bed with her that night and never see her again. It happens, occationally - but I respect women a lot more than that. Women are a work of art, they're the bearer of life - they deserve all the best. These guys by them a drink and call it a night...

Anyway... Sorry, I got on a rant. I'm not saying I'm better or worse than any of these guys, whatever...

So DJing. It's kickin' off BIG time! If you look to the sidebar on the right ---> you'll find a link to DancePhoenix - that's the new kick ass radio station on live365 that I opened up. I started this on my own dollar, so eventually I'll be needing money from outside sources... so, if you would like to contribute to DancePhoenix, I'll be posting details on how to donate. If you like the station then cool. I'm not a very good beggar so if you give money then great, if not then I'll just join the ranks of all the other closed down radio station. :) Kidding. I really am excited about this station, all dance hits, plus me and a couple other fresh DJs are going to do live broadcasts. Very cool. Thursday nights will be the main show, 7:00PM MST (Phoenix local time). Also, I'll be playing replays of last week's mixshow throughout the week, just incase you miss the live broadcast. Here's the link to my station: DancePhoenix. Enjoy and support me!

Anyway, that's all for today.
