Wow, I've been tagged twice. Once by Eeva and once by Dusty. Thanks girls!!

Here we go:

1. I have one blue eye and one green eye. It's kind of freaky actually. Stare into my eyes sometime and I'll show you ;0)

2. I have never left the U.S. except for Canada. Although I have travelled the States by train exstensively. I prefer to travel alone.

3. I fought tooth ad nail to never become a DJ. I knew so many people who were DJs and wanted to do my own thing. That all ended when I moved in with a DJ and started to buy records. It's all been downhill from there. Black crack.

4. I currently have 201 tribe friends! Holy shit how did that happen?

5. I'm really only 5'5.5" I always say 5'6" but didn't you learn to round up in Math class?

6. I own over 100lbs of legos. it's an obsession I've had since I was kid.

7. I hate the suburbs will never ever ever move back there. i spent 18 years of my life there and couldn't stand it. If I ever move out on NYC, i'm moving to the back country.

8. My girlfriend and I sleep with a stuffed Alligator, hes really comfy. He even has his own "alligator pond' in our apartment. You have to come over to our place to see what I mean. His favorite song is werewolves of London

i now tag: Janneth, Hercules, Friar Tuck, Abject photo, Thera and Caroline

pure heaven

Can I say how Happy I am. This week, we not only got a new mattress(go craigslist!) we received in the mail our new quilt top feather mattress. After a year or so of sleeping on Anna's old mattress, that literally sagged in the middle, this is a godsend for my back. I'm a much happier camper now. It's amazing how much a good bed will do for your spirits.

On the other hand it's much harder to get out of bed in the morning now.

Craziness!!!!

Great weekend. Thanks to everyone who christined our apartment. 24 hours of partying was exactly what I needed.

sliding sidways into oblivion

I managed to reach another dimension this weekend. I back now, and I'm not sure how i feel about either one.

Step Away from the Ipod

Ok, I'm walking down the street and coming towards me comes a cute couple holding hands. Something just not right though. They both have white earphones in their ears.

I mean, come on. I have an MP3 player(not an Ipod) and i love it. I listen to it all the time, when I'm trekking through the city. but if your with someone, take the damn things out of your ears. Pay attention to the person your with, maybe even talk to them.

I've seen this with mothers and their children on the subway. The mother has her son/daughter in tow and has a CD walkman in her ears and isn't paying any attention to the kid. The kid will probably get hit by train when the mother isn't looking.

fucking, unplug people!

DJ Suspected Terrorist

Funny story

Friday night, a bunch of us went to see Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory. I walk in to the theater with my DJ bag in tow. I had a gig that night and didn't have time to go home inbetween. So, I walk in and the security guy does a double take when he sees my bag. I'm thinking,"Oh well". He asks me to open the bag and makes me empty out the entire thing.

Records, check.

Headphones, check.

Needles, check.

Vinyl cleaner, check.

No bomb, check.

Afterwards, I make the comment, "that was a first". He replies, "I think you would agree this was better for all of us". I repack my DJ gear and go into the theater.

The Funny thing is, he didn't even search the backpack I had on my shoulders the whole time. I don't think he even noticed it.

A continuation of this story happened at dinner afterwards. I was looking for somewhere to put my Dj bag in the restaurant. The proprietor saw me doing this and cleared a small space for it. Jokingly he said, "You're not from London are you?"

Wow, twice in one night.

I am not a blogger

I've always been a pretty private person. I usually don't let on to people how I'm feeling or what's really going with me. Maybe because of this, I tend to play the part of confidant and psychologist to many people. I'm the rock to lean on and umbrella to to hide under.

However, I have the recent desire to write things down. observations and thoughts on life. But just so you know, this is NOt a blog and i am NOT a blogger.
