White People Know How to Party

My title says it all. They are the ones who are down for anything, will dance on and offbeat to a Brittney Spears song, and will be usually the first ones to hunt down the Dj to tell him "You're the shit! I love you man!!"

White people, if you are reading this and seeing yourself nodding your head, you really should be. From what I've witnessed from frat parties thus so far, white people really, are the ones who seem to have the most fun at the worst places possible, meaning that they are perhaps one of the most optimistic groups of people ever.

By the time I was shaking my head in disappointment after listening to Soulja Boy's new cut that has him using one of those retarded autotune voices (robot voice HAHA) I saw white people learning the new dance to a song that had just come out (DO DAH STANKY LEGGGG, DO DAH STANKY LEGGGGGG).

They really know how to have fun, ranging from the big jock football players, to the big white girls who's wearing that super low cut shirt to holla at the DJ when he decides to sneak a look at her...when he decides to that is.

To end this post since I am killing super time in my Philosophy lecture... White people, my announcement to you!:

GRAB YOUR DRINKS.
DANCE HARD.
SAY WSUP TO THE DJ.
DANCE WITH THE LADIES.
DO THA CAVEMAN.

(I literally saw someone toss a girl over his shoulders, scanned the room with the biggest bloodthirsty look, then walk out flexing as many muscles as possible, alpha male status)

Get money... Get paid.

Schools For Fools 3

So, I am sitting here spending my last night, surrounded mostly by people I have just met during the course of last weekend, many of whom which it is the first time actually hanging out with. Just to reflect, there's just a few new things I have learned from traveling out here to the LAX:

-Try to communicate your needs directly and immediately. There had been times where I had felt utterly isolated amongst a group of people I have met for the first time-with it I usually forget their names if there's too many people-and actually become... quiet? I realized that for some reason I actually start feeling uncomfortable about being there, despite being someone who's open.

-I'm starting to really feel the adrenaline rush and enjoyment in spinning out of state. I literally felt shaky, nervous and sweaty standing behind the turntables. There was this tingling sensation that made me feel like, "hey, I am probably the most important person in this room right now... cool!"

-LA Korean BBQ is indeed one of the best places I have eaten at in my life. Not only did I get the opportunity to eat it once, but in fact, I ate it twice! Firstly, the $12.99 deal for unlimited bbq is ridiculous... with about 6-8 different choices of meats, it's really hard to go wrong. The restaurant afterward however was pretty tasty too. I can truly understand why LA was the originators of the Korean Galbi.

-MIXTAPES AND BUSINESS CARDS ARE CRUCIAL! Let me tell you... sheesh, I just know I need to go out and make more more more!!

The new mixtape! YEP!

Not quite sure why the background or the shark's eyes are a different color, but this is pretty much the layout of my new mixtape I will be releasing this weekend (minus the weird colors... eww) exclusively for the first time (I'm getting SOOOOO O-fish-al now BWHAHAHA!...). Pretty excited to fly out again, this time to an entirely new environment--I had gone to the LAX a few months ago but only went to a jam and straight back, no time to really enjoy anything out there... Hopefully the lovely people of the LAX will love me and I would be a happy Dj for the entire weekend. :]

Are you guys ready for it? I'm obviously not, but somehow, it'll work itself out.

Bleh for finals, hope everyone is faring well... DO WORK, HAVE FUN NOW! DENG SAUCE!

Edit: The Mixtape upload you all were waiting for:

YIK! No new updates... shame on me!

Alas, I am sitting here in my underwear contemplating whether or not to cram for the last hour or so before I head out for one of my finals that I didn't really go to in my Scandinavian Children's Literature class. I suppose a lot of things have been happening since I last posted an update a few weeks ago:

1. Fat Laces - Truly a fun experience up in Shoreline, it was great to know that I was doing well off after the first hour, then slowly started keeping the same pace or so the rest of the event. Looking out into the crowd and seeing that everyone else is feeling what I was playing made my night (despite frantically looking for the next song to play... it's such a pain!). You can peep the battles I Djed for on youtube at www.recbattles.com.

2. Winter Storm - This dude was shady! I'm not even going to lie, first off, PLEASE never promise someone a certain amount of money, not contact them UNTIL the day before your event, and have your DJ call YOU instead of yourself (it's your job promoter!!). Good thing I declined his offer of a meager $75 + a contract saying he would happily pay the rest of the money within "a week or so"--I really can't trust guys like these... I've lost so much money in the past from these type of guys!!!!!!! From this event I lost $25 from canceling a lousy hotel down there... thanks a bunch man!

3. LAX - Schools For Fools - WOO! First event I will be spinning at out of state! I really am excited to see what it's like out there, knowing that most of my music will be much different from what they normally play since Seattle has a different scene compared to the LAX area. Hoping to meet lots of new people down there and fully appreciating the essence of traveling and sightseeing... and it's only one week away! SHEESH!

4. Vegas? I should be flying out again there sometime in April, just have to make a few contacts to see if that's still going down, yet again, I will be excited for that most definitely!

5. Misc. Events - Music4Life, a semi-formal, and maybe a few parties are heading my way just in this springtime. I really haven't been digging around for new joints for the club, so I should be getting on that, stat.

Wow, March is just a crazy month for me, for Djing as well as many other things coming up just because the sun is out now:

-Managed to book a few gigs outside of WA for once! First off, big THANK YOU's to Just-roc (Battle Snakes) for even considering me to Dj for his event out in LAX, as well as a hug THANK YOU to Chai (Runaway Tribe) for an opportunity as well to fly out in April. Few parties here and there, as well as gaining a closer step toward those frats/sorority gigs.

-DIG! I need to do that, I haven't been out to a record store in ages!! SHEESH!

-After registering today for school, I realized how much I hated the system for signing up at UW. I managed to lose 2 out of the 3 classes I wanted to have picked for the Spring quarter, so to replace it, I am now taking two semi-difficult classes (well, classes that would require more attention than I have been giving school for the last.... year and a half HAHA).

Here's the link to the mix, the latest compilation of different vibes, genres, or whatever you'd like to call it. It's all breaks of course:

Fish Boogie - Sneak Peek Mix Vol. 1

Peep it, and if you like it, hate it, or just wanna holler at your boy, you know where to contact me!

-Fish Boogs of the Ocean

Quickie

First off, I'd like to thank all those who have given me (or even considered giving me) the opportunity to spin at their events, whether it's a house party, club, bboy event, any little bit at the moment is helping me put myself out on the map (and hopefully stacking that paper soon WOOP WOOP)! It's always such a good feeling at the end of the day, realizing you have made about 50-100 people's night experience something to remember about (what you know about those panty droppers? LOL).

My boy DJ Lourawk and I were KILLIN' it on the tables last night (house party at my friend's). We really didn't even have to touch anything above the 102 bpms just because we had so much material, I figured we didn't even need to go any faster (or slower) all night. At some point in the night we had about a good amount of people dancing, enough for the floors to be sticky and slippery (from condensation.... disgusting).

Upon arriving at Jack in the box at around 3AM, I had a realization that we just got ourselves a little bit more ahead than before with making the "DJing" dream come true. With the coming newer gigs (as well as club nights with Lou, YEAH THAT'S MY BOYYYY) I feel like this may be taking us in a direction that will be... quite interesting. I'm actually curious about how things will unravel, and how we shall overcome it. I'm just lucky to have such a good partner starting off (most definitely).

So, to be a bit more stricter with myself, starting this week I will be making weekly mixes to see my own progression with mixtapes and if I do feel it necessary, I will put them online for all of you lovers/haters to download to throw on your ipod, cellphone, myspace, facebook, whatever the hell you use to communicate and flaunt your style. GIT IT!

It's time to get a bit more serious than before. As winter is melting away, I hope that as Spring arrives, I will do a bit more about "Spring cleaning" my priorities as well as my room.
