A time for reflection

This time of year is usually hard for me, the weather gets cold and gloomy, and i tend to look back on my life and feel upset about missed opportunities,as well as disappointed with my accomplishments for the year. It is different this year for some reason, maybe its because i accomplished all of my goals for the year as far as my DJing is concerned, maybe its because i am finally just happy with life in general.

I was a complete mess almost all summer, and still managed to hit my djing goals, if i focus i should be able to just become that much better next year. I quit smoking which was another huge step in my life. I met and somehow managed to hold on to the most amazing woman I have ever met, she is everything I could ever ask for or need in a partner and more.

Its time we give thanks for what we do have in our lives instead of wanting what we dont. If you have a roof over your head, food to eat, or are able to read this sentence, you are better off than 90% of the people in the world, if you have someone who truly loves you, you are better off than almost everyone.

I feel truly blessed for everyone who is in my life, and all the experiences i had this year, both good and bad. there are always going to be a few things you wish were different, and there is nothing wrong with trying to make your life better, just make sure you dont lose sight of the big picture.


sorry about the sappy post, i spent a lot of the day thinking about how happy i am, and thought i would share.


life is amazing........

Fantastic weekend!

A great weekend was had by myself, had a special event to dj so i ended up working thursday night, which turned out pretty well, except that it gave me and the girlie opposite schedules , seeing each other on the regular kinda lights my life up. thurs night went really well, besides being short on girls. friday was...meh, didnt work so i had to find something to do to occupy my time till she got off, got to have dineer with a couple friends and had too much to drink, and completely embarassed myself in front of the girl, ( I still feel bad about that one ), saturday was awesome, i got to hang with my love until it was time for her to go to work. Got the ipod hookup installed for her car after she left which made me really happy too.

Saturday night was a different beast. I was booked to play a rave, and havent played one of those since the beginning of the year, holy shit was that a blast. i could literally feel the dance floor moving while i was playing from so many people jumping and dancing.

spent all day sunday being a bum with my girlie and then it was off to work, when i made awesome money, and got to come home to the love of my life asleep in our bed.

a great weekend indeed.

What a sad story..........surprise

So this girl comes up to the booth to audition, introduces herself, and starts talking. Goes on to tell me that she moved out here a week ago to be with her BF and then he dumped her two days before her birthday. I kinda feel bad for the girl, and tell her story to my girl over IM, she says hmmm, im not saying she is a liar, but a girl i knew used to tell that exact same story in cali! I think nothing of it and put her on stage, one of the other girls comes up to me and is like "OMG did you talk to that girl? she says she is a big name in porn, and she is trying to get me to do porn with her!"

thats it. im never believing anyone again.

:p

what a rough day

Sorry to start today off to such a complaining start, today was just LONG. The birthday present i ordered for my girl showed up today and its easily twice as big as i thought it was gonna be and her bday is tomorrow, so i have no idea what im gonna do. I wasnt even supposed to work today but got stuck working on my day off because the other DJ had to do some stupid training class.

we had enough girls today, not enough customers and i just started off in a bad mood. the new girl who i dont really like seems to think we are best frinds and says shit like "I love you" which makes me hella uncomfortable.

I ended up working longer than i was supposed to due to his training running long, and didnt get out of there till everything i would like to go to for dinner had closed, so leftovers it is again tonight.

My girlfriend is far away tonight which makes me sad, her friend took her out for birthday dinner tonight, wish I coulda gone. stupid work. Whenever she isnt around I miss her and feel like I am having withdrawals. I can barely get to sleep when she isnt sleeping next to me, not sure how i am gonna sleep tonight, :(

guess I will try watching Green Street Hooligans again and see if I can just fall asleep.........

another day of work tomorrow.

A little about me.

I just realized, that I didn't introduce myself properly, I'm *S* feel free to call me S or strip club dj or whatever you like really. I'm 26 years old and im the head dj at a strip club downtown. I have no kids, and no responsibilities other than keeping my bills paid and my girlfriend happy (which isnt too hard, she is awesome) I have been DJ'ing for about 5 years, and DJ'ing at strip clubs for close to 4. prior to that i had done sales the rest of my life, except for a couple years I worked retail. I am laid back, and am passionate about music, I love all kinds, but would say my primary focus is dance/electronic. I DJ actual events as well, from nightclubs to bars to all ages raves.

A saying I heard a long time ago that has always stuck with me is: "There are two types of people in the world, people who are passionate about music, and people you shouldn't associate with."

Which are you?
