thursday - also known as career day

i'm really glad the rest of the week makes up for thurdays.

me?... a happy camper? more like sick puppy

whine whine whine... going to work sick, sucks. not fun. not exciting. and ya still gotta play nice with the kids. other than that. i apparently played enough music they like to keep the party going. bleah. gonna go lay back down.

i am a happy camper

wow. what happened? i was all set to be nice and depressed or grumpy at the end of tonight. instead, i had a good time. even the crowd behaved itself for the most part. only one minor scuffle all night long. i love it when they come out to have a good time and dance. and they sure did - all night long! hopefully we didnt wear them out too much. we still have sunday...

sunday is my friday, and with any luck, we'll have some of the folks that were out last night that are in the same mood. it would be pretty cool if we had a couple hundred people out tomorrow night, but i wont hold my breath for it. someday when i look back on this, i'm gonna wonder what it was that made me stay for this long in the same club. and i'm gonna tell myself that it was nights like that.

gonna chill now and unwind alot. until next time...

"speak up.. i cant hear you" - my future

occupational hazard of the day - deafness. its gonna happen, i just dont know when. if you spend hours every night next to a booth monitor putting out more decibels than a 747, you start to notice that you just dont hear things the same. then again... not many people have much worth listening to anymore. i just watch their gums smack and try to decipher it. maybe its time to invest in some ear protection.

saturday - first weekend in the pay period. tonight should be pretty darn good. last night was. time to go recover.

sunday - sometimes they suck.. sometimes they dont.

post holiday blues at the tail end of a pay period. less than a hundred people in a bar that can hold over a thousand, looks sad. and people who aren't in a mood to party can really bring a dj down. sure, it's my job to make people have a good time and play them some really good music, but if i have to sit there all night and play music to people who just arent out there to dance, then what the hell am i doin? i'll tell ya - readin a book between songs and playing a little hand held poker game. it's not always that bad, but sometimes that little poker game keeps me sane.

lets look forward shall we? we've got the coming week ahead of us and the army is getting paid this week. should be nice.

miss me?

yeah.. been a little pre-occupied. past week has been interesting, from a "i'm gonna snap and lose control of my mental faculties" point of view. should i be getting extra pay to stay sober? this past week has almost been enough to start me drinking again. and thats NOT a good idea. cranky people i can handle, ignorant i can occasionally tolerate, but lately... AAAARRRRRGHHHH!!!!!!

ah well.. guess i'll go have another cigarette. i'll try to be a little more current with this thing.

a thursday where i dont feel so bad?

it was oddly nice for a thursday night. had people in a mood to party. i even felt good for a change. only really bummer part i had tonight was that i had some of the best mixes of my life in the booth tonight and there was hardly anyone to hear it at the end of the night.

and wednesday was pretty good too.

gotta go rest up.. holiday weekend.
