I feel like this blog is one that I've written. One that says, I sit here & try to write & yet there are no words.
I've been angry. I've been depressed. I've been stressed out. And who wants to write about any of that? I've been in this state of frustration because I'm unable to say what's really on my mind. Because I can't feel the words through my finger tips.
[Blank screen. Type a word. Type another word. Delete.]
Same pattern, night after night. The words are in there. I just can't give them to you. Where do I start? So, for now, I feel them through the headphones of my iPod hoping this block will pass...
Tomorrow is a new day to try to blog. To try to journal. To find my words. To get back in this again. "Music is indescriable. It tells us everything we can't say, everything we want to say, and it feels everything we feel." Play Adele's 21 & get lost in it. This is where I'm at. Lost in translation. Take these tracks & act like they're my words... until I find my own.

DJAndiB
DJAndiB is in the houseeee!!!! Ok, yeah, it’s a cheesy 80’s way to start a blog but if I were a DJ that'd be me...
As a kid, the question everyone wants to know is: What you want to be when you grow up?...As a kid I never imagined that I would I go into to education and become a teacher, hell, I surprised the world with that career choice. As a kid though, I always wanted to be a DJ. They had the coolest of the cool job. They dressed fly, they talked ALL the time, they were in all of the social hype. Plus, they got to be around music 24/7. What could be a better job for me?
While others were playing house and basketball outside, I was playing DJAndiB. My mom would clean the house and I would set up a DJ booth. So, how does one create a DJ booth, you ask? Well, I would baracade myself in a fort like set up, using chairs, and pulling them up next to my mom’s Philips stereo system. I would get my emcee on the whole time-- all while playin the cuts, making up commercials, promoting special events, ...you name it.
Believe me, it took real skill peeps.
Sometimes, I wonder how life would have been different if I had I actually become a DJ. Hmmm, is it too late to chase after those childhood dreams? Sometimes, I just want to quit my job and do it! Who knows, maybe I would be working for a local radio station? Or even have my own company that DJ's parties and weddings. I wonder if it would have brought such fullfillment that it did as when I was a child. Well, there's only one way to tell... yea, you guessed it... throw a party and yours truly DJ it!! Oh yeahhhhh. I'm already getting those warm fuzzies just thinking about it. Get excited, friends.... :)
