Sunday can still be mail day.

When Zero Fucks Are Given

First and foremost, I think I’ve strayed from Tumblr for good reason….it distracts me far too much….but sometimes it’s nice to have a venue for some good thoughts to be put on pen and paper. But my pen and paper today comes in the form of text and type.

I guess I’m in an unusual point in my life where I am unsure of where I am going, and as much as I can fib to myself that everything-will-be-okay, it never hurt to have a plan that was set in stone and had a cushion-y fallback in the form of a steady job in the Bay Area. But..secretly, I don’t want that. At all. If it were up to me, I would  find a job overseas…London, Australia, Japan, Italy…anywhere where I can escape the bubble that is California, and broaden my world view on life. I suppose I’ve come to this realization because I am no longer satisfied with the life I am living in California. For far too long “what if” has been on my mind and I’ve had no feasible way of discovering answers to my questions. 

To be honest, I have an idea of where I will be in 3-5 years, but right now that vision is not what I want it to be. What I honestly need is for Lawrence Fishburne, or some other identical Morpheus-like character, to pop into my life and offer me an immediately change in pace, surroundings, and give me the opportunity to be the person I want to be, in the places I want to go.

But I guess this all sounds like a fairy tale of mine and that I’m taking what I have for granted…but that is absolutely not the case. I may not acknowledge how blessed I am to myself as much as I should, but when I do, I dwell on it and thank my family and friends for everything they’ve done for me. Without them, I would not be the man I am today and I love them with everything that is me. 

So if you take anything away from this post at all, think not of what you think you will be doing in 3-5 years, but take some time and, dare I say, fantasize about what you would ideally like to do by that time. Disregard monetary values, proximity to your significant other, the location of your family, and the job you may or may not have, and think hard about what your heart is truly yearning for…and do everything in your power to make that dream a reality. Even if it is just for a year or two, you will be able to live the rest of your life being able to say that in your twenties, at one moment, zero fucks were given and you set out to do what your heart desired. 

I Just Downloaded a Mixtape off of Tumblr

I forget the actual post, but it was by DJ Eufonik and the title of the mixtape is “Things You Do To Me”….

Anyways, I just wanted to offer some constructive criticism….But…If you’re gonna put your mixtape on blast and try and hella promote it on Tumblr, at least make sure it’s on point. Given that this is the “Final” version as indicated by your file name, there should really be no excuse as to why it’s as lackluster as it is. First of all, please for the sake of your DJ career, LEARN HOW TO BEAT MATCH. I can HEAR how off some of your transitions are (tryna match a 128bpm song w/ a 118-135 without adjusting ANY pitch?) and I don’t care if you’re on vinyls or CDJ’s or a midi deck, but chances are you’re using Traktor or Serato and have the wave forms in front of your face which means there should also be no excuse for the amount of vocal on vocal mixing I hear. Unless you’re working strictly with analog and recording live (which I know you’re not), then you should know better.

Being an Uncle…

Yeah, probably the best thing to happen to me.

Dear Jonas, Kassius, and Lyric….

Uncle Jase will always be there for you three…no matter how many miles separate us.

It’s Been Decided…

Jeff Gogue WILL do my Kirin piece on my leg.

I want to go to an open mic night.

annaleealcera:

And listen to brilliant people recite words and messages eloquently. People who make word art and make the audience emerge with goose bumps at every word they speak. It’s a must on my bucket list!

THIS. Who here in SC or SJ know of any coffee spots that host open mics? I went to a few open mic nights to support friends in SoCal…but now I just want to go and immerse myself in other people’s thoughts and escape from reality, even if it’s simply through words and song.

:O
