I'm back! I just realized that my last post was waaaay back in October of 2008. Where the hell have I been you might ask? Well, 2008 was a very monumental year for me. After 8 (loooong) years, I closed a chapter in my life that many people can't say they've accomplished (some not wanting to for that matter, and I don't blame them). Yep that's right, you're looking at a college graduate from San Francisco State University. Sure it took me 8 years, and sure I got my degree in something that doesn't appeal to many companies, sure I've had trouble finding a job because I'm a 27 year-old fresh college graduate...but dammit, I finished!
It's a nice feeling honestly. If anyone ever stopped going to college for whatever reason and has even the slightest urge to go back, all I can tell you is this...just fuckin DO IT. You might have to make some sacrifices along the way but in the end, it's very rewarding, and if not so much more financially, it definitely is personally.
Now, what does the future hold you might ask. Like everyone that just finishes something that took up so much of their life, I would say that mine is definitely at a crossroads. Not really sure what path I want to head down right now, but I do know that I want to do something that gives me medical benefits. Have you guys ever wondered how much getting a checkup and two shots cost? I believe my bill was almost $200 dollars, and I was literally in the doctor's office for less than 30 minutes. If health care keeps up like this, I would probably have to raise my DJ rates to $400 bucks an hour, just so I know that if I ever get in a car accident on the way home from a club, I'll be covered...
With a new year also comes a new mix! For the past 4 months, my protools has been fucked up. There was something wrong with my OS and Pro Tools, so instead of finding a solution through numerous forum postings and blogs, I just spent a little extra money and upgrade my OS. Then presto! Pro Tools is up and running again!
This mix is a simple mix, no real crazy production added or anything. It's an eclectic blend of House, Electro, Pop, and some Rock/Hipster shit scattered here and there. It's a good workout mix if you're looking to listen to something while trying to shed those pounds on the treadmill. Again, no super production went into this mix, so DJs, if you're listening to this, I already know that it's simple and straitforward, no need to remind me...
Gonna make you Donkey Sweat....
p.s. - my camera is broken (crazy-glued the switch in place), so don't expect any photo updates anytime soon...whether you were or weren't...
