Can I just have Bome's translate all the stupid shit I say to girls into sensitive, heartfelt expressions of love?

Btw, it's 6:17 am and I'm on DJTechtools for some reason.

That's the most amazing thing I've read in a long time :-)

My schedule is all over the place. Lately I've been taking a break from the club thing and just relaxing, and this whole week I've been sick so the drive to do DJ stuff has kinda suffered.

Right now my schedule is

830AM to 530PM - Work work work work
530PM-630PM - Commute
630PM-800PM - General tasks around the apartment, sort through music, nap
800PM-900PM - Dinner and chill with roomie
900PM-1200 or 100AM - Do DJ stuff, talk to girls, get to sleep

This is all up in the air, though. If I decide to go out with a girl or some friends the whole plan is FUBAR except for the work part. My weekends, if I don't have plans, usually amount to all day DJ sessions, or recovering from gigs/partying the night before.

The full time job thing makes it really rough, but in this economy, in this country, I'm pretty lucky to have what I do. :-)

Thats a possibility, or you could say just say:

"You know what they say about dj's who a long Bomes preset lists..."

I work 4 nights/week and go to school full-time (Pharmacy school). I don't DJ for money/professionally, just at home and the occasional houseparty. A lot of people have told me to just record a demo and all that, but I don't have enough time to pursue the DJ lifestyle, so I don't bother doing any of it. I don't even have my own Facebook group or Myspace!

I think I'll try to do some PR work this Xmas break though...

I work shift work, generally 5 x 12.5hr shifts a week but anything up to 7. Night or dayshift. During the hours of my shifts i am lucky enough to have a bludge job where i can actually take my gear to work and choose to practise or fit in a broken sleep. It's when i'm outta work that wears me down. I run my own business detailing cars when i can find the time to fit them in (sometimes after a lucky 3hours sleep on night shift at my normal job). Otherwise i am either doing 1 or 2 x 3hr band practices a week plus anything up to 3 x 5hr club sets a week. In between that any spare time i have is spent helping the bar/club i dj at or fixing up their gear to make it better for myself. Or i am trying to find a decent girl to settle me down LOL. Or enjoying the sometimes not so great companionship of cold hard alcohol (mostly free thank god). Some would think i should be rich with the hours i do. But i'm worn out and loving the lifestyle more than anything.

All i can say is enjoy it when/while you can. Deal with it till you can't. Walk away when u need to "BEFORE YOU BURN OUT". Get back in and start it all over again as soon as you feel fit. If you can't sleep don't try. Do things till you get frustrated. When you can sleep don't set an alarm unless absolutley necessary and if it's absolutely necessary make sure you set 2 or 3 cause i can guarantee you most likely worn wake up!

DJ'ing is just a hobby for me.

I work just enough to support my gear addiction...

[tekki]

Ghehehe.

Ofcourse you can imagine me to find it somewhat hard to believe.

jeez you guys have it rough. my hours are like

0700-1700 work
1800-2100 smoke pot/drink alcohol and kill zombies
2100-2400 mash heavy beats while smoking more pot
2400-0600 sleeps

and when promoting that takes my 1800-2200 slot

working full time isnt so hard its when you gotta study and fullfill other responsibilities is when you got problems
