Aspiring dj in need of assistance

[mablack]

Your dad's right. I have add, and it distracts me from my studies.... so much so that it's hard to balance.

Oh... and ask your family for money for christmas because you're a broke college kid... then go buy it without telling them... duh.

[BlackJesus]

Grow a pair and raise the money on your own. What would sound like a better story to you?

"Yeah I started DJ'ing back in college when I begged daddy to get me a controller for christmas"

OR

"Yeah I started out in college when I worked my ass off to raise the extra money to get my first setup"

Get good grades...then try asking or get a job and buy it yourself. And as also mentioned before djing is an expensive hobby.

Can someone help me try to convince him and change his mind?

Give me his email address and I will use Jedi mind tricks on him. I've only used them in person so I'm not 100% it will work over email but I'm willing to give it a try.

Seriously though just accept whatever he gives you and thank him.

Ok so Xmas is coming up. And literally, all I want is a dj controller with a built in soundcard. Like the vci 100 se. Well father doesn't like that. I'm in college and he thinks I will get distracted from my studies. I offered some of my own money from my bank account as an add on because most of our Xmas gifts add up to around $200. My dad is acting like I'm asking him to to feed sugar cookies to kids with diabetes. Because of me having ADHD I get distracted easily and almost flunked out of college. He thinks I didn't learn my lession and thinks it will happen again. Right now I'm running on a piece of crap Acer laptop and virtual dj. Can someone help me try to convince him and change his mind?

I think your Dad is right - i missed two exams and turned up to one 40 minutes late because i was mixing! I have also been known to wake up, give myself an hour on the decks, grab a cup of tea and then what was supposed to be a 10am finish became a 10pm finish with no food or water in between!

Tell him that you think the DJing might help you stay off the drugs

I do have a job, at Kroger. And he controls all of my money.

[ChadimusMaximus]

Tell him that you think the DJing might help you stay off the drugs

He would definatly laugh at that statement.

Write a long ass essay explaining to yOur dad the pros of getting this stuff and maybe come to some sort of agreement that you will maintain your marks and if they go down he reserves the right to take your shit. And explain that you can make money once your good at it. And most importantely you can get hot bitches. That part is key.

Goodluck

Lmfao yeah that could work. That last part made me laugh.
