Finished the mixtape!

Hey ya'll, a few updates for what's coming up:

- I was unable to fly out to Las Vegas for the Rival Schools jam, turns out due to my irresponsibility of buying my ticket on time, it prevented me from wanting to spend an extra few hundred dollars on a trip that would only last for about 3 days or so... Stupid me. I lost such a big opportunity. "Maybe next time Fish.. maybe next time."

-I finally uploaded my "I LOVE SHARK WEEK VOL. 1 BREAKS" mixtape. Look below for the download link, since I find it pretty useless to repost the album cover again and rewrite another amazing post about how awesome my mixtape is (it's super awesome sharks-and-gay-fish-touching action makes you wanna jump into some water if you know what I mean). Download that shit, PLEASE! I'll probably check it out myself to see how well it turned out (although I KNOW I could've made a more perfect mix... we live and learn).

-School is kicking my ass!!!!!.... My priorities as a student have fallen short of my dream of becoming one of the best breaks Dj's in the world. Yes, I am going to write it, ONLINE, and straightforwardly. My dream goal is to travel to all the major bboying spots (Europe, Russia, Asia, shit, everywhere!) and "plant my music seed" into all the listeners I meet. It sounds corny as hell... but damn, as the great Christopher Reeves said:

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."

I am someone important, and someone to remember. Think about it.

SDV CREW.

Oh, and if you guys got the time, peep my boy DJ Lourawk's blog as well. The guy is probably one of the most creative people I know, as well as one of the biggest homies since he helped clean up puke I found in front of my bedroom door when I was throwing a party. Half drunk as hell, and still a homie. Can't find that too often. Damn.

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.
