Two very influential books in my life right now:

Soul on Ice


Way of a Pilgrim

Both are teaching me about love. Love for the self and others.

Both are teaching me about determination, fortitude and reason.

Both are teaching me to look further within myself for answers to difficult questions.

if saturday nights didn`t pay so much, i would be done with them too. i`ve considered taking on a dj partner just to have someone there with me, and then getting a quieter lounge night for myself some other night of the week. saturdays make me pretty much useless on sundays.
_alice_:
yeah that`s the only problem with having a partner, you make half the amount you would make by yourself, but sometimes it`s worth it since it`s so much better with someone else.
i did a night with my friend at this really nice lounge for just over a year. it was great because i had a couple of hours to sit down and have a few drinks with people, and it was really laid back.they shut it down about 4 months ago, i miss it frown

I need advice.

I've come to the realization that I can't have (most likely ever) the type of relationship I want with someone. For a long time I've hidden from myself the fact that I've craved approval from this person more than anyone else. At the same time, this person has made it abundantly clear that I'll never achieve the level of approval I'm after....

I think you know what you need to do. It's hard not to be passive aggressive about it though as you say, I have twice in my life had to cut of relationships with people who were charming, funny, intelligent and a whole lot of fun to be with in the moment because they were also were also living in their own little universe and unable to give without being told to give.

Before you make any drastic decisions, I would talk to this person and say that you adore them but you feel like the thought of you never crosses their mind. They mean the world to you but it's hard to give so much of one's self and get very little in return. It's hurting you.

I hope it goes well.

P.S. I'm off from my regular day job now for about a month. So I am here if you would like some art.

What if you had 6 months to live? We've all heard that question before (whether it's 1 month, 6 months, a year, whatever). I've never been able to come up with a good answer. Sometimes I think I would want to surround myself with friends and family to enjoy the company of those who care about me. Other time I feel like I would want...

ha!
that`ll teach that bastard.

as for your dying question.... i would like to go far away, probably travel and see as much as i could. i think you can be as selfish as you want to when you`re dying. it`s nice to be able to set people at ease and let them know how you`re dealing with it, but beyond that i don`t feel like it`s your obligation to take care of them.

and yes i do have more mixes i could share with you. where should i send them?.. also i should really sart on a new one for the website before they get mad at me again. i`m always late with that shit blush .

On another message board, someone recently started a thread about "Stupid things you did when you were a kid."

This was my contribution:


3 years old: While sitting in a croweded restaurant, I pointed to an old lady and loudly told my mother, "I'm sure glad I don't look like that!"

4 years old: Drew pictures of a naked man and naked woman. When my...

nowhere right now. i used to play the Lotus, Bar 71, The Quest, The down under and The Venue. I used to own a record store in Seattle, played mostly at house partys and various local weekly nights.

I am currently taking the most ridiculous physics course ever. Well it's actually Astronomy. PHY 122 - The Life Cycle of Stars. Get this: for our final project, we have to read a science fiction novel and write a book report on it. A book report. What does this have to do with the life cycle of stars, you ask? I'm sorry, but I haven't...

Ah, school. Centered around busy work. Just as I remember it.
_alice_:
wow, sounds like a hard course....

ha!, those silly fuckers.

i got an assignment in my anthro class the other day to 'think about gender and what it means'.
pffft.
whatever

I'm not old, I'll admit. Still, I can feel the effects of aging, mentally and physically, hitting me like a sack of turnips. Big turnips. It's probably a big sack, too. 'Cause I feel too old!

Example #1: I can't drink like I used to.

Not only can I not drink like I used to, I can't drink at all. last night I had three...

When did Space Ghost Coast to Coast stop being funny?

I remember watching that show back in 1997. I used to laugh hysterically at almost every episode. I just rented some episodes on DVD from netfilx and I'm very disappointed. They really aren't that funny. Am I getting old, or was the second season just a low point in the show? Perhaps it's a bit...

I think you are on to something here. It has nothing to do with you getting old.

I look forward to your email. kiss

I stayed up till 3 a.m. last night making a mix of songs that I really like, but have completely ignored until now.

It encompasses a variety of genres/styles, such as folk, world, jazz, etc.

Please let me know what you think.
wannie:
I've only listened to the first 10 minutes, but I already really like it. I was just the slightest bit skeptical at first because it's not really what I listen to, but it was just so peaceful and so well done. I could picture my self just sitting in a forest looking at the sky. Damn, stupid reality of sitting in an apartment listening to traffic. I'll let you know what I think of the rest of it later.

Where the hell is my remote? My apartment is not that big. How the hell does a remote just vanish?

that mp3 was cool. Outsider folk music rules!

I think I read somewhere that 6% of the time the remote is in the fridge. I might just be making that up though, I can't remember well enough.

My friend called me up the other day, asking me if I'd help him DJ this "Gangsta" themed party. I didn't have to think about it long, before telling him no. But it did get me thinking, why do so many white kids like to co-op cultures through a party format? I mean, it's one thing for a pale, pimply teenager to listen to the...

let me just say... i LOVE that set you left in my journal. it`s fucking great! it sounds alot like what i would normally do. the one i have up on calgarysoul.com right now is a bit more recent, but along the same lines of my usual. do you have a resident night anywhere? i have relatives in portland, and if there were something for me to do while i was down there that didn`t include sitting on a couch watching t.v., that would make it so much more worth while.
