Ranting and Raving...

moodyeva — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:28:33 GMT

had an interesting experience on the playa that reminded me that I am a fucking warrior and i can do just about anything.

andthen?

moodyeva — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 08:14:02 GMT

I wonder what's going to happen next? :)

I THINK I CAN.....

where the hell have i been?

moodyeva — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:39:12 GMT

I wrote this for an email this morning.. wanted to share it with people not on my email list XXXXXXX Hey friends and family!!!!!! Where have I been? I've been painting and creating! PLEASE COME TO MY ART SHOW IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. If you are busy next weekend or out of town, then you better be at The Bus Stop Gallery in san francisco next wednesday night 6-10pm. I'm hanging my 2 or 3 favorite pieces at a trunk show for 8+ local fashion designers. Come for me ... but stay and buy clothes. I know I will :) If you aren't busy, please try and stop by my show in Berkeley on Saturday, and come in to say hello to me at least. I've been consciously painting and making music the last 3+ weeks straight. I took the whole month of June off of work just to paint.... and it completely changed my life... and also ... it changed: my goals, my personality, my artistic abilities, my dedication to the act of "creating", and it deeply clarified my perspective on life as a whole. An unexpected side benefit came from all this. I also evolved on a musical level and because of it ...I have officially decided to stop DJing until further notice so I can make the album of music I've always wanted to make. When was the last time you took a month off to chase a dream? And no, I can't afford it.... but life is too short not to create and try new things for myself just to see what happens. Trying and failing is much better than doing nothing. Kisses everyone. See you soon. Peace and Love, Eva

Running, walking, working out, ping pong, let's do this

moodyeva — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:44:09 GMT

A lot of my friends want to work out more and so do I. I can motivate, if anyone needs it :) I like running around lake merrit. I would love to walk in a hilly or super steep area of sf for an hour. Golden Gate park is 7 miles long (let's walk the length of it, jog it, or bike it- I have a bike too). I have a super sport all club 24 hour fitness membership and I'll come to your gum if you want. I know it seems to most of you i party a lot, but i am just going through a lengthy honeymoon phase of my life where I do what I want and it's fucking awesome. After being with someone for almost 25% of your life, it takes a while to get accustomed to being alone again. Anyways, I try to work out 5 days a week... WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME?

Goodbye My Love

moodyeva — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:56:25 GMT

today JANUARY 8th ....is the day to say goodbye to old habits..... I'm saying goodbye to the cubicle. RIP cube-baby, you know I love you, but we can't hang out anymore. I need to be free. But thank you for the regular paychecks and opportunities ... I have met so many interesting people because of you. You have made us lots of money, but still.... I don't think we can take this all the way. I just don't see us going long-term. I get claustrophobic and I like constant change..... oh wise and great cubicle ..... may i never see you again.

To Voltron and beyond...

moodyeva — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 18:15:06 GMT

I love you all so much.... I have to make this trek north. My family is there, same job for way more money, more hoodies - less heels (didn't realize how important that was to me), and most importantly... my record label I'm on is up there and I want to put out some new music and they frickin heart me. I'm starting my new life by playing at the biggest dirties break-beat party in sf where they make 10 pounds of bacon .... it just made sense to make that my grand re-entrance into my new life... Should I start a new Voltron up there and see if we can form like a megatron at burning man? Ooooh CAMP MEGATRON ... anyways... i get sidetracked .... Sonya book me for Lady Lush January 17th pretty please :) I'm free and I'll cover my plane ticket with the 5 drink tickets LOL.... OK now who's house can I stay at? YAY!!! Hopefully see you all on January 17th ... and then we can all ... tjernobyl ping pong through the forest intense with bramblesauce and psychedelic eyes.... PS: I promise to see you all at every FMG so we can form in the desert. Chris and boozy (chru-san) please save me an opening to your magical courtyard near the bump and sprawl. LOL

Eva Las Vegas!

moodyeva — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:33:35 GMT

So, I've been trying many relaxation and mind-changing techniques this past few weeks. First: I watched Planet Unicorn Then: I mixed 3 podcasts and uploaded them Then: I read some books about love and happiness Then: I hung out with some friends and all that really really seemed to work but.... I just booked 3 days in Vegas. Now THAT should really give me the change of perspective I've been dying for. I really want to go somewhere where I can be a freak and be myself, or my freaky self, or whatever. VEGAS, HERE I COME.

marinated brain

moodyeva — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 21:37:21 GMT

hey homies. i love you all. my head has been in a weird place for almost 2 months now. I thought I was becoming someone i can't stand, but I think I am growing up in a weird way. thanks to everyone who has just smiled and shrugged and loved me during this uber extended crazy phase. I had a "realization" the other day that my life and personal experience is so small compared to the grand scheme of the universe that my little blip of whatever might not be as significant as I had originally thought. I felt like I had been cut off at the knees and falling towards the stumps in disbelief. I feel like a snake and the skin i am shedding is personal realization with an extra helping of humility and craziness. This is deifinitely one of those times that will be funny in the screenplay, but in real life, kinda hard to get through. Maybe I'm hungry. I'm always profound when I'm hungry. Bacon sounds good... mmmmm.. bacon.....

Hi Ho Hi Ho...

moodyeva — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:15:09 GMT

It's off to work I go!!! I just got another job that could last up to 3 months or more... :( So no more cannonballs for no reason on a tuesday or wedensday morning. BUT, finally I will have bling bling for the thing thing that I need so bad. Work sucks, but money is sweet! This picture was taken at Lady Lush (of course)...

SORRY I'll delete the harshness...

moodyeva — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:49:31 GMT

My emotional vomit from my blog post earlier hit some of the people I love so i took it down.... Here's a nicer, and less-offensive version: I am questioning everything in my life right now... Why does diving for gigs finally seem like such a waste of my time? For 14 years all I know is "I'm playing tonight, come and see me" or "come to this party, it will be fun!" but now when I say it, I'm really thinking, "come and waste some money and let's get too drunk with people who don't even really know us and end up completely useless to make any personal progress the next morning!" I ran 7 half marathons this year and in the last 2 months I have run outside 2 times. Obviously I am on the wrong path (again), or I am just getting back onto the right path.... I'm open for advice... way open

BURNING MAN 2008!!!!!

moodyeva — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 18:45:41 GMT

I know I say every year that I'm going to go... well next year I really am. Why is it different this time? Well, I have already thought of my art project and it is so exciting to me that ....having the project as my goal WILL actually get me to burning man. I'm so goal-oriented it's insane. Cindy, if you are reading this, you PROMISED you would go so get your project ready, or PLEASE help me with mine, of course it is a kinda big project. that's how i roll.... If any of you go to Tropical this weekend or Blaze next weekend I will tell you about it in person only. You really need to see the look on my face when I tell you about it, it really seals the deal. (the photo i included is the only hint i will give) Do they allow kegs and can you buy ice daily? That question is completely separate from my project by the way, i swear.... LMAO XOXOXOOXOX If you were so side-tracked that you ended up here reading my blog on tribe, then at least give me one tip about burning man that i might not learn before I go (what to bring, prepare for, etc) I only have 10 months to prepare and that doesn't seem like enough already... ....my mind is so open at this point in my life, my brains are exposed to sunlight, so I'm already bringing the right mentality....

Trying to figure out what to be for halloween... anyone have any ideas? It has to be "Slutty _____" so just fill in the blank.....

I AM SUPER WOMAN

moodyeva — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:37:27 GMT

People always ask me why I get so stressed out... because I am passionate and I care and I am the BUSIEST person I know. I have been working 12 hours a day since March without a day off trying to promote myself and my friends as DJs. You try working 12 hours a day without a day off for 6 months and see how sane you are. I KNOW I AM doing this by choice. I know what I've gotten myself into and there's no way in hell I am slowing down for anyone.... In March I had about one gig a month and now I have 1 or 2 a week it seems. So yeah, I stress out, and I get overwhelmed but it's because I do the work of 6 people, I guarantee it, maybe 7 or 8.... I throw parties, i update my website, i show other people how to make websites, i promote 30+ DJs, I promote the podcast, I go out twice a week and hand out my mixes to ANYONE who will take them, I promote 1-2 hours a day on myspace and tribe, and I try and work 8 hours a day for someone else for extra money. Not to mention, I have had 2 art shows l have done this year (finally selling some art!) so I paint 4 hours a week, I MIX RECORDS AT LEAST 30 MINUTES A DAY....I have a weekly vocal coach off and on (trying to get to 3 full octave range), I produce music, I show A LOT of people how to write songs, I run 2 record labels, promote those record labels.... and to top it all off, I have lost 5 pounds this year going to the gym every day .....and just because I don't have enough to do..... I train for and run a half marathon every other month. I can finally run a half marathon in under 2 hours.... I have run 10 of them since last January. Not to mention the fact that I travel at least once a month and DJ somewhere... this year so far.... SF, Humboldt, Belgium, Las Vegas and more... Also, last month I started practicing breakdancing all the time which is about 2 hours every other day (let's battle!). So.... when you wonder why I am stressed next time you sense it... now you know. I AM SUPER WOMAN, or at least I feel like her. I cannot stop, I am a machine. Even when I am too busy my life is more exciting than most that I observe. I try hundreds of things and some of them pay off. At least I try stuff and take action... There's just not enough time in the day for all I want to do.... to full dominate the planet I will need 3 clones... maybe 4.

Here we go again!

moodyeva — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 21:54:58 GMT

Now that I have thrown 4 parties and made a huge circle of friends in San Diego ... even though for a while I felt like I was being shit out of an asshole that had never been used before..... .......now I am so on the right path I can probably levitate !!!!!! "things change....... things change.... oh how things change"

Breakfast of Champions

moodyeva — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 07:22:19 GMT

I just wanted to say thank you so much to the Space Cowboys for having me at BOC this past weekend. It had to be one of my favorite sets i have ever played in my life and I cannot thank you all enough. Once I find out what day it is, where I am, and what my name is .... then I will try and hunt down a copy of the recorded set to hand out. MUCH LOVE TO THE SPACE COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Extra lovin' goes out to Kirk, Chip, and Chelsea). I still don't believe that it actually all happened. I am so lucky to start my year off with such a legendary party. I wish I could head-butt you all to say thanks :)
