Standing Still but Going Somewhere
Ok, so today is the day.
It's been almost two full months since my last post, to be honest I'm feeling a little detached and so I'm writing in hopes to find an answer for myself.
This is basically to make a little announcement to anyone who cares or to anyone that is listening. I am currently still working on updating my website, I've made some progress, we discovered that I may be locked out of my server access so that is why I can't get in. As soon as I can gain access I will push the magic button to upload my site. It will contain my new demo, "Chapter 2," which is a deep house/vocal house mix. I'm also working on a second - kind of the yang to "Chapter 2's" ying. It will be a trance, and vocal happy trance mix. I'm really excited about that one, my vinyl record bill has gone from no records to about 19 last week. :) And my wants list is about $450-600 strong. Next paycheck....
I also wanted to extend a happy holidays to everyone, no matter what you may celebrate this time of year, I hope its filled with joy. I will be working just like 90% of every other DJ on New Years Eve, which I'm really looking forward to. I have an excuse now as to why I will spend yet another year without a new year's kiss. Does like a 2am fuck buddy kiss count?
I've recently recieved two text messages. I can only guess who they are from, one says something about the song "Hey Ya!" and the other talks about packing up her apartment and finding shit that's mine. The latter must be Serena, and the first is a shot in the dark, but I think it's Caitlin.
The reason why I mention this is because I lost my phone on my birthday. I have lost all my phone numbers. If you're texting me thinking I'll know who it is, you're wrong, I don't. Unless, that is, I got your number after I bought my new phone.
There was stuff here that I deleted. I deleted it because by saying what I want to say would only open up the doors for more shit talking behind my back. So, I will refrain.
In the past two months I have done a lot. I'm back on top of my bills and I'm capable of having a good time while still staying on track. Unlike some people I've heard about - I've been laying low instead of going out and screwing the first thing I see. And the second and third thing, for that matter... It's been pretty boring, but on the other hand I've gotten in touch with my DJ skills, my financial skills, and my ever-needed friendship skills. And while I'm on the subject, I wanted to send a thanks to my new friends, and wish them a great new year. They were just what I needed to move on from all this bullshit - no drama, no picking sides or lying or shit talking - just good fun with good company. I know that sounds a little gay but whatever, I just want to say I appreciate it.
The army has gotten a hold of me finally - and it's not as bad as I originally anticipated. I thought they were going to activate me, but really they just wanted to get a hold of me altogether. So that's fine, I'm looking into transfering units to get a fresh start.
The Spring is coming. I want to let you all know that you can expect great things to start coming from me. I have made the decision to dedicate my life to music, and I will show it to all of you in the years to come. Starting late January or late February, I will be looking for a club to start DJing, gaining some experience and making a name for myself. I'm no longer the guy that starts something but never finishes. I'm no longer the guy with big dreams with no way to chase them. I am taking control over my life and I'm not letting any of the shit-talkers get to me. Keep an ear out for the name J Phoenix, cause I have big hopes to have it pop up all over Arizona, the U.S., and maybe even the world. But let's start small, how about... Phoenix.
Here's how you can get more information about me and J Phoenix:
First here - djjphoenix.blogspot.com - This is where you will find the personal side of my life, I won't be bashing anyone anymore, nor will I be involving any of my old or new friends. It'll just be me, Justin, and my experiences.
Next is J Phoenix's Official website - www.djjphoenix.com - It is down right now but it should be up finally before the new year. There's a couple secrets and "easter eggs" that I have placed around the site, make sure you turn your volume up because there will be music playing.
Also there's my MySpace site - www.myspace.com/djjphoenix - This will be the news hub for me as J Phoenix and will have lots of candid pics and will give you all the chance to say hi and send me love.
Let's not forget my still-strong internet radio station - DancePhoenix - found at www.live365.com/stations/smoked54 - It'll feature all the newest and hottest dance tunes ranging from deep house to trance. Starting in the spring as well, DancePhoenix will be host to live mixes of mine, as well as some of my new DJ friends. If you are a DJ and would like to host a mix on DancePhoenix, I will leave my emails below.
