I had 5 classes my senior year in HS. I got out at lunch with my friends and just hung out the rest of the day. It was pretty cool.

I haven't taken a shower since Friday.

[dismalfuture]

I have been spending the last week getting really obnoxious about how I'm leaving the country soon, trying to rile up my friends, piss off my roommate, break a couple girls' hearts...

... and come to find last night that I've misplaced my passport. Fuck.

[darkanimal]

I didn't shower this year.

haha i know right. damn pharrel and shop boys casue everyones rocking vans tiny tee's and baggy jeans. ohhhhh but waitttttt 2 years ago it wasn't "gangster" to be rocking small fitted clothes. poseur's man. they know nothing bout green day, the closest thing to rock they ever heard was Run DMC and Aerosmith doing Walk This Way. aldkfjlkhgal man they annoy me. i feel i must correct them everytime they say "ayyyoo mannngg lil weezieee da best rappa live son!! believe dattt" and old school to them is ja rule in 2000. hahah

Fuck man .. I've misplaced the back up DVDs of my school assignments which I need for my graphic design portfolio .. I've looked everywhere.

Misplacing stuff is the one thing that pisses me off.

[dismalfuture]

... i just realized i am gonna have to pay $97 to get the passport replaced, possibly $45 to get my visa re-done in my new passport, and then another $45 to get that visa renewed so i can come back...

... i just need to get my squirt on and put my mind at ease..

a couple of months ago I was making my way over to a gig and I was walking through a dark parking lot and a extreamly thin, mid 20's, black guy pulls up and goes "psstttt" and says "come here"- I just think he wants to sell me drugs (lol racist) or steal my shit (lol racist) (I had my crate and a laptop on me), I don't want any drugs and I want to keep my shit so I just keep walking and ignore him. (lol racist)

And he pulls up closer and says "hey come here" and for some reason I say okay and start walking towards his car, yeah?

I get to his window he says "I like your style"... I say "thanks?". He asks me my name- I tell him "I donno". He says he wants to "invite me to a party". I said "no, I was on my way over there" and point to the bar I was playing at. He goes "no, no... a party". Then he ASKES ME FOR MY NUMBER, and tell him "no, why the fuck do you want my number?". He askes me if I want his number followed with "I like your style"... I start getting worried at this point, because it was dark and it was around 11 and not a lot of cars were out, instantly that picture of that creepy black guy with the words "you gonna get raped" underneath it popped into my head.

IN A HORRIBLY TERRIFIED VOICE I SAY "WHY WOULD I WANT YOUR NUMBER?!, I AM NOT GAY IF THATS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT!!". Then he says "well that's what I was getting at" and whips out his dingaling and I think he said "check it out" or someshit. I couldn't hear him because I was fucking running for my life/asshole. I ran 2 blocks to the bar I was supposed to be at, the rest of the night was terrible- I never told anyone.

I confess that I laughed heartily at keagan's post.

i'd really like to learn turntablism. i just really wanna learn how to DJ and scratch and assemble awesome stuff. i got really turned onto club music and DJ stuff recently while in europe, and this board so graciously introduced me to a world of electronic music past daft punk and all the early set. i friend burned me a shit load of ed banger records stuff and im really digging the sounds, and one of my brothers best friends is a DJ with a regular radio show at NYU. im just digging the whole concept of it, and i'd really like to learn it. not saying its easy, but im musical enough to learn the basics. any suggestions from turntablists/DJ's out there on where to start? gear/musically/anything -wise.

im gonna go write 10 pages of government notes while i ponder this.

anyways i'd say if you want to start djing i'd say buy some Techniques Turntables they should run bout 100 or 200 a piece. a mixer which is really where you should invest in the most. my uncle got a great one for bout 500 but that was a decade ago. then get the records which i'm not sure but they round bout 5-$10 a piece. someone correct me if i'm wrong on the prices. but from my knowledge the mixer is your key instrument. all you gotta do is mess around with it for a couple of weeks and you'll get the hang of it. personally i say its an expensive hobby but it's well worth it.

Technics? Try about 400 a piece, used.

Mixer doesn't mean shit, nor do the turntables (as long as they're direct drive you'll be fine)... It's all about taste, your record collection and your ability to know when to beatmatch and when not to (or attempt to). It doesn't take a few fucking weeks, especially if you're mixing ed banger electro shit, which is pretty hard to beat match without a grabber or anything.

Start here- djforums.com, but don't pay any attention to the music subforums- tasteless motherfuckers there, don't get too caught up on gear, it really doesn't matter.

I know, I am not complaining. (no homo)

edit; how the fuck did I ask for it? I wear tight pants? So does eveyone else, most gay guys wear baggy hollister pants and sandals.

I have big hair? gay guys don't have big hair, they have that Ricky Martain circa 1999 shit and orange faces.

I don't understand how me = homosexual. Maybe me = pre op tranny, but not me = homosexual.

fuck you man.

[masuerte]

Keagan, that was a great superconfessional... haven't seen one that good in ages man.

That guy must've been stuck on the whole 1980's - early 1990's caught-in-the-public-park-bathroom-George-Micheal style gay...

do you live in LA? cuz if you go to Stacks Vinyl and talk to the dudes about learning how to dj, i think they still hold DJ 101 (learn about scratching, etc) every other tuesday. Real cool guys. i went to one and learned a basic scratch but stopped going cuz it really wasnt me....im never got musically inclined on those career tests.

I've lost my best friend

[beefcake]

[kyo]

I've lost my best friend

me too, sucks doesn't it?

[Darkadious]

i've been away from the future for about two weeks

i can't say that i missed it.

[Uncle]

I'm bored out of my mind, Can't sleep, Don't want to go to school today....

me too, because deep down, i want him to get raped.

don't say it doesn't matter what turntable you use. it does. and to tell someone to buy whatever is just wasting money. you might as well jump in and buy some technics because if you do intend to upgrade with other stuff, you won't get your money back.

go to school in a diaper, tat cheers everyone up.

I'm at work right now stealing Bandwith from some network called 'Buffalo'. Sadly, it's about as fast as my home network.

Also, I was dissapointed when I first heard Haptronic talk. I figured he'd sound like Chopper or some other Oceania gangster, but he sounds like a mild mannered gentleman.

[ghostdeini]

me too, sucks doesn't it?

hope nobody passed away... if that's not the case, then we're in the same boat. feels like I was close to someone who doesn't even exist anymore

[skeetinmynose]

Haha, Hap's voice ended up sounding exactly as I had imagined it, on the contrary.

superconfessional:

This is funny looking back at it!

[cuddlysheep]

skeet,i had similar situation. they start givin the cold shoulders. if you care for her just let her vent and shell work her way out,but to prove you guys can still might be friends dont let her spiral out of control and dont let your self go either.give the girl space and keep that seperation,but dont stray too far thiking that you did a total disconnect.its weird,situation is like they want a total disconnect,but not really. you have to get to that even plain again,but not too aggresive.. slowly but surely build that friendship. cause deep down,you guys want the best situation for both and didnt mean to do any harm.

when i was 16, i went to my cousin's wedding down in washington, d.c.

after some unceremonious drinking frenzy, i proceeded to go for a walk,

happening upon an old homeless woman sleeping in what seemed to be some

sort of oblong shipping bin.

i proceeded the roll the bin down the street and, as she was screaming at me, trying

to claw her way out, i pushed it down a hill and into a little ditch.

i dont know if she survived.

i went to mcdonald's and had a mcflurry right afterwards. oreo.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i always preferred the burger king "spooner" (RIP?) to the mcflurry
