The DJ is Back

Hello world. OK - how many times have you seen or heard that phrase? I mean come on, it's the freakin' internet, everybody wants to just talk to the general "world."

OK so I'll join them. Hello World! Welcome to life. I have lots to say so grab a cup of coffee.


Let's start with the business. My two sites are up and running - idontknowadamnthing.com is in it's final state and ready for anyone who wants to join. [begin plug] Join today! We're the Catalyst for Conversation, now sucking less than ever! [/plug]

The other - djjphoenix.com is my official DJ website. This blog will be linked from there, even though you all know that you can reach this blog directly, by just going to djjphoenix.blogspot.com. The site is in working progress, i'm going with the sexy dark look, and sooner or later this template will change to one that looks similar. Also, there will be a much more specific online forum featured on the new site. It will be called 'House Culture Club.' Since I know more about all this forum crap - I'm doing it right this time, and creating something that people can really relate to and meet other people with shared opinions. It's not quite ready yet, just in the planning stage, so check back for updates on that. But who cares, you just want to know what's going on in the DJ's life - don't ya?

One last thing before I get to that... I still have an online radio station - DancePhoenix - I'm really sorry I haven't updated anything on it like... ever... but I PROMISE I will soon! It'll soon be all live mixes of mine, some REALLY good stuff.

OK. I'm gonna have trouble thinking of where to begin, so instead of starting from a point and working my way to the present, I'll start with now and work my way BACK... oooo! That sounds fun!!

Last night I went to the circus (You're thinking - this is DJ related? - keep in mind this is the LIFE of a DJ), and it was fun... but I just wasn't excited anymore. Here's how I think of it. If you've ever been to a Disney Park, Disneyland or Disney World, it's bigger than life - it's incredible... no matter how old you get it's still magic and fun. Well, the circus gets old. The stunts aren't as amazing anymore, it's like a way to keep kids busy for two hours - and that's it. I've seen some of the coolest stuff at the circus, but this was kinda lame, I was kinda dissapointed. It doesn't help that prior to going was a crazy chinese fire-drill type afternoon. I was pretty excited to go, so I wanted to get there early so we could get seated and relax, enjoy the show and all. But know - I get to Serena's house at 5:15, then we don't leave until 6:10 - the show starts at 7! But not only that, as if we weren't rushed enough, we forgot the tickets. So now here it is at 6:20, and I'm driving 90mph back to the house to get the tickets. we got back by 6:35, and then back to the city by 6:55 - we pretty much RAN to our seats, which were great seats by the way, just in time for the national anthem. Phew! I was working up a sweat.

So that was last night, but it really all started a couple nights ago, when me and my best friend Serena get in a scuffle about our friendship, AGAIN. But see the problem is that she doesn't trust me, and she needs to in order for our friendship to work. I'm not gonna get into details, but that just frustrates me SO much, we have so much fun when we're NOT fighting.

Anyway - On Tuesday I recorded a new demo CD. I've had one before, but it wasn't very good, so I made one that I'm happy with. I'm going to convert the whole thing into a mix MP3 and I'll place it on djjphoenix.com. But for now, I'm really happy with the fact that my demo is done, I'm going to scatter it around some local DJs to see what they think. I'm hoping that I'm going to get to work with some friend of mine to put together some fresh tunes, and really peicing together a great CD to go on the market. That's future plans but hey I have dreams! :)

Also in the DJ world - mobile side I mean... I am moving on up at SKM Entertainment. I am currenty training to become an MC. The MC is the 'ring leader' of the events, guiding the guests down the right trail for the evening. I am learning to be one of the best, I'm really excited about this. I've been training for that for about 5 or six weeks now, my first MC event is July 30th, 2005! I'm scared shitless...

Anyway - moving along, I'm gonna talk about my old friends. Now, if any of you remember my friends, Caitlin, Bill, some others, I'm going to talk about them - this may sound a little harsh. To make things equal, I have not been the best friend to them. In past lives (meaning a couple months ago) I have lied, cheated, and hurt my friends. I'm not going into details, I have apologized for that already, and I do not think things should be brought back from the past. My life is moving really fast. I have literally a million new ideas a day and my brain is moving faster than the rest of my body moves. I have ideas about the websites, DJing, music, life, feelings, people... "Holy shit!" ideas that could just change everything in a minute. My imagination is huge, always rambling in a million directions... so I don't want to be held back, ever. Did I deserve the lack of respect from my friends? Maybe, but disrespect me to my face, when it goes behind my back - you two faced sons of bitches - that's when I get pissed. I was never mad at you two, I was never angry - I respected both of you, Bill even with your crazy ideas, you excelled in the army, you picked yourself up and you always had a way to make it. Caitlin, you too, you started doing something with your life, in a house now, with a job - and even choosing your career. Life was beginning for both of you, but I hope you fall flat on your fuckin faces. I've started believing more in Kharma so I don't want to create any bad kharma for myself, but those two fuckin ass holes found a way under my skin and since a couple months ago I stopped talking to them. Remember we're going backwards here... Caitlin, who sabatoged the site that I built with my own time and money, has been talking behind my back for months. As for Bill, I have proof that he's talked behind my back. Actually - before I get into that let me say a statement directly to Bill [end 'hello world'][begin bill] You are not a fuckin mob boss. You will not rule the world. You will be stuck in a dead end job all your life. You will not go anywhere. You will sit on your ass until you die because you are too fuckin lazy to do anything but one more push up or buy yet another weapon. I have evidence Bill. I have proof. If you even do as much as come within 100 yards of me with the wrong mind I'll have you thrown right in the clink so fast your ass will feel like it's on fire. You should be happy that I'm saying this. I'm helping you. I'm helping you realize that maybe you should get off your lazy ass and do something with your life. Maybe then I won't have the right to say everything I just said. But for now, I've heard your threats, I've seen them in black and white and I've saved them, just incase you decide to get even stupider. And I know what you're thinking - someone ratted you out - nope, you see I was an administrator, and I backed up my database when you were PMing your ass off to other people - guess what happened when I cracked into that huh? How stupid can you be to post something like that in private messaging? Everything is public record whether it's on a PM or not. So technically, even though it was told to one specific person, you made a public statement to the internet that you want to kill me. So do you? Do you really want to kill me? I respected you, Battle. I would have taken a bullet for you in war, I would have faught next to you in the fox hole - I guess I was blind and didn't see that you were pointing the weapon at my back. I won't be so blind anymore. [/bill]

But that was months ago. Two and a half to be exact. I haven't talked to them or seen them since. I've stayed clear away from that group, I only talk to a couple of neutral friends and we've stayed pretty tight. Other than Serena though, I have to rely on myself. I never wanted to be selfish, but it seems like people just can't be nice anymore... like what happened to just people giving and being courteous to others? Why all the back-stabbing and drama? My life is now in music, and I will live that way.

I want to give a special shout out to all my new and old friends. Serena, David, Catrina, Em, Jessica, Egle, Lauren (I haven't forgotten about you!), Elisabeth (where'd you go huh?), and some new friends, Michele, Juan, Adrian, Courtney, Ashley, Shannon, Tiffany, Monique... Thanks for being there for me and supporting me as a DJ and as a person - no matter how little you know about me you have all been nice to me and I appreciate that. Also a shout out to my two favorite local DJs, DJ Lysa D and Rod Carrillo, Cheers.

Look for me online soon to do a live broadcast on my radio station. Peace.
