    hehe, your right! At the time I got caught up in the moment day dreaming and wrote that. I just keep that there now to have an over all large goal. Dream big and all, right? But dont get me wrong its all about the feeling of being infront of a crowd I love showing off… and being the center of attention. I used to do professional Ballroom and thats how I got my fill of being in the spotlight lol.

    No I havent yet… I’ve been crazy busy with work. I have like 3 major projects going on in my life, a new relationship and DJing. Thats why I want to get my hour mix done so that I have something to promote and be able to hand out a physical copy of my work. Once I have that and my skills have improved a bit more il focus on hard core promotion and live gigs. As of right now i am not ready and I dont want to cut out other DJ’s and their work. Thanks for the support!

    Sumir, That quote is really meaningfull… and I am not in this for the fame. I am in this for the feeling of playing in front of a live crowd. Thats what I really want. Because new years night was just so amazing.

    I feel yea… Last night I felt like I wasent focusing enough on music. So this month it will be 90% on that. The good thing about the past week is that I found alot of music I really like. I just havent mixed it though. Lets do it up and cant wait to hear the mash up man!

    Another week has passed by:

    I am ending on a rough patch this week. I wanted to do an hour long top 40 but nothing sounded right and nothing mixed well… I’ve been at it for four hours now and spent the entire week setting up cue points and organizing music. For now its done… I am just going to sleep on what I learnt. It is a real shame I can’t release anything to show for this week (music wise…). I will try again tomorow after work.

    As for the other goals this week I have done pretty well.
    – I received the dance music manual.
    – I set up my mini studio/work area for mixing
    – I end this week with 38 likes on my facebook page, 8 likes more then what i wanted to get!
    – My bussiness cards are ready to print. I had a busy weekend so I couldent print them
    – I didint work with FX to much.

    The goals for next week are as follows:
    – Read a chapter of the dance music manual everyday
    – Practice mixing for an hour each day.
    – Create 5 mash ups this week.
    – Play around with FX and Samples.
    – Finish the hour long top 40 mix.
    – Design a more main stream logo. Add an animal or a character that people can recognize and describe easily.

    Thats all for today! I hope you all had a great weekend and have an amazing week.

    Ooooo pretty. I like the bottom one more. The top one “Vinny” needs to be bigger in size i think.
