Was a busy weekend. Suede was ACTUALLY busy. Nice work Mike and I hope Lee appreciates the hard work you've put in. Monday, I checked out a bit of the D-12 concert at Suede. Although I never stuck around to see them OR Joe Budden, I had to leave because it was so high end loud. My ears were ringing when I left the place.

Ok complaint time. I know my credit isn't great but I can't borrow money if I tried. I have no problem with that. Here's the part that REALLY bothers me. One of my financial advisers told me that if you go to different dealerships for example and they all pull your credit file, that it can actually hurt your credit score. So how am I supposed to know if I can qualify for auto financing if they don't pull your credit rating, and WHY in God's great name, should it affect your credit score?? It's stupid things like that that are ruining our economy. A local alderman I believe is hoping to get a bill passed that would allow people who are renting only, to eventually rent-to-buy so to speak. People who rent cannot usually afford to save up because rent is so jacked up, and rent is all they can afford. PLEASE make this happen. :) Come on give the 'little' person a break.

Oh!!! New favorite song and thanks to DJ Toxyk for the head's up on it:

Chris Cornell - Scream

Oh my word, it's phenomenal. A lot like Apologize but....BETTER !!

Wonder and Amazement

Ok so I must be a glutton for punishment. Played in goal again this Wednesday at floor hockey. Oh well it felt good. :)

Something to ponder. If you are about 30 years old or so, then you have had the opportunity to be part of absolute wonder and amazement. I'll start off in the sporting world. During my lifetime I've seen some of the greatest players of the game play. Gretzky, Lemieux, Ovechkin, Lafleur, Brodeur, Roy and Scotty Bowman, just to name a few for hockey. Cal Ripken Jr. , Tony Gwynn, Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds (although I hate the guy's attitude) in baseball. Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Dale Earnheart and other greats in auto racing. Maradona, and other greats in soccer. I've seen many CFL and NFL records fall as well. The Olympics with Michael Phelps, and others, setting records like they were nothing at all. And that's just the sporting world.

Musically speaking, artists such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, U2 continue to be huge acts and have made a plethora of money. New artists such as Eminem, 50 Cent and T.I. recently come to be but have made their mark as well.

We've seen record breaking box office movies, such as Titanic, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Lord of the Rings (trilogy), Pirates of the Caribbean and Dark Knight.

We've made technological leaps and bounds to make our lives easier such as computers, cell phones, microwave ovens, from satellite dishes, flat-screen tvs, dvd players and the internet to entertain us better. We've made great advances in medicine as well.

We've put a man on the moon, torn down the Berlin wall, saw the fall of the Soviet Empire and that of Saddam Hussein. We've seen great tragedies such as the 9-11 trade tower destructions, the great Tsunami, the flooding of New Orleans and the Aids epidemic. Most recently we have been witness to a black president of the U.S. being voted in for the first time.

I could go on and on. Why has this suddenly got my attention? Not sure really. But maybe I'm wondering what the world holds for me, us, everyone in the next 30 years. Maybe it's my way of growing up and getting older. I look forward to the next 30 years. It's gonna be a wild ride but should be a lot of fun.

Monday. My only day off this week. I start working at Studio 54 on Tuesdays. Good idea? We'll see. The extra money will be good, but will I get burnt out?

So I went to Lady Gaga at Suede tonight. Ok, mini backtrack. Went to O-Sho's with DJ Cookie tonight. Had a wonderful time. At Suede for the concert and Kelliane opened for her. I guess she owed Lee for a show. Not bad. They REALLY need to tone down on the drums and such and make her vocals good. But as for openings acts go, she did alright. Got the crowd energized. She played lots of Top 40 stuff, like Pink - So What, Britney Spears - Womanizer, Christina Aguilera - Keeps Getting Better, Pussycat Dolls - When I grow Up and Shut Up and Drive, but the song that most impressed me was Coldplay's Viva La Vida. A very hard song to cover but she pulled it off.

There was an hour or so break between her and Lady Gaga. Place is packed. Finally Lady Gaga goes on. Well, she performs her famous tracks, Just Dance, Starstruck, Poker Face and did Paparazzi, Dirty Filthy Rich, and another song, advertises that her cd is in stores and then leaves the stage. Ok at this point, I'm thinking that it's just a ploy to get some more cheer, or maybe a costume change. A few minutes go by and people are chanting her name. Well she's not coming back out. 6 songs?? Are you kidding me? At least come out and do one of the singles again. I felt so sorry for the mc, who had to get on stage and tell everyone, bluntly, that the show was over. $25 for a ticket and only 6 songs. Severely disappointing. For what it's worth, the show was highly entertaining. She launched herself into the crowd not once but twice. And her singing was spot on. But holy disappointing. At least Opi kept people there by playing good tunes afterwards. Lee, if you ever read this, I give it a 5 out of 10. Good artist, horrible finish.

Still one of my favorite tracks: Lady Gaga - Poker Face

So as per usual I'm a few days late blogging. Hey, at least I am though. :)

Wednesday I played floor hockey, but I played in goal. It was my first time in about 15 years or so as I have always played as a forward. I have a new found appreciation for that position as I've been in pain since. My quads hurt SO SO much. But it was good and might do it again next week. :) Also I won all 3 of my games and made a terrific glove save too.

Blarney Stone was SO busy and a tremendous energy in the crowd. They just wanted to dance and dance they did. Big chick fight on the top part of the dance floor but the crowd still had fun.

Studio 54 was also busy with great energy. Toxyk rocked the house and kept the floor busy from 10 PM til 2 AM. Nice work.

Tonight (Friday) was Mo's birthday. He's a guy from Nigeria and we had his birthday party in at Suede. K gave me some good Nigerian songs to play specifically for this day and they did not disappoint. They and myself had a great time, and they danced up a storm and sang to all the tunes I played for them.

Complaint section now. For the 2nd straight UFC pay-per-view, we will not be showing it at Suede. I don't understand why we won't. Some things are difficult to comprehend I guess. I think that we should and get at least a good base crowd, to carry over into Saturday night.

That's it from this dj.

Remembrance Day. I remember not so much the fallen soldiers, but my dad. I miss you so.

So I missed Finger Eleven tonight. Not my favorite band at all. And thanks to DJ Toxyk for calling me during One Thing. I loathe that song. On the flip side tonight, shot a 36 in pool league. Staying consistent at least.

This weather is unbelievable. It's the 11th of November and it's still beautiful outside. Supposed to hit +15 later this week. O.o It's the 11th of November Mother Nature !!!! I figured the seasons have shifted a bit. Which means snow in Spring !! Sheesh..... I should go live in Australia. They're almost in summer right now, and usually averages about +45 or so at that time.

Ok so now I'm complaining again.....

Now, I need to get this out so maybe I can read it and make sense of it at a later date. There are a few girls that I like. One that lives overseas, a couple that live in town. Yet none of them wanna take the time and effort to see what I'm about. Why is that?? I THINK I'm a nice guy. Sorry I KNOW I'm a nice guy. I treat women well and with respect. Is it the sexual aspect? There has to be a certain chemistry or spark for sure, if it's to work. I know one of them is not frightened by my looks. She actually thinks I'm sexy. LOL. Is it my age? I believe one of the girls would like me more if there wasn't such an age difference. Is it my financial position? If that's what it is then they can kiss my ass! Shallow biotches. I don't know. Not saying I need a girlfriend, but come on. I see worse off jerks, get some very attractive girls to be their girlfriends. They treat them like trash and mentally abuse them. Yet when those girls FINALLY get wise to get dump the guy, they hook up with yet another. I cannot comprehend the situation. Oh well. When I turn things around, then they will ALL be missing out. For those girls that were interested in me, but didn't make your move, you lose.

Ok supplemental post. Why do I drink that swill called Tim Horton's coffee?? No matter how I drink it, with extra sugar, or extra cream, it STILL tastes awful. Plus the fact it gives me nasty heartburn. How can some people that I know, drink 4-5 cups of this stuff a day ?!?!

Ok so I am back now, as this is the confirmation of that. First order of business, bitch and complain. :)

Why is it that people who think they know what they are doing, do things, instead of leaving it to someone or in the least, confer with someone, who has a much better idea of what to do in the same situation? Grrrr.....

Ok that's out of the way. Should be busy on Sunday for the sort of long weekend. Gotta look into getting a new vehicle and a place to live ASAP. Cannot procrastinate on these things.

New favorite song, at least in my playlist:

Timbaland - Talk That Shit (ft. Missy Elliot & T-Pain)

Back after 4 years of absence...

Well, I be back. At least I think I am. 4 years. That's an awfully long time. What to comment on. Actually will comment tomorrow. It's almost 7 AM and I have a busy day tomorrow.
