Friday, November 18th, 2005 - A day in the life of a DJ

I had a crazy day yesterday. It was a touch busier than usual since I had to get stuff done before I left for Toronto. So here we go:

9:00 - Wake-up
10:15 - Work (at TD Visa Customer Service - I'm not a superstar DJ...yet)
3:00 - Lunch. Went to Ray's place real quick to have him check out one of my needles. (it came apart sometime after my set at Spotlight Wednesday)
3:30 - Work
6:15 - Done Work
6:25 - PA Shop to ask how to fix my needle
7:00 - Breakdancing lessons (my ass is killing me today because of this)
9:00 - Gave everyone a ride home
10:00 - Went to Dr. J and Rooksys' place to record set
11:45 - Finally started recording

So now here's where it gets interesting.

1:05 - Finished recording (Yes, I managed to record exactly 79mins 30secs to fit on a CD)

So then came all the compressing, clipping and burning time. Since it was such a big file it took forever to do anything with it.

I finally left at around 3:30 am with one burnt copy of my set. I went over to Ray's place to give him that copy. (I was on a personal deadline to get him one by Thursday night) He burned himself a copy and we went over a couple mixes which made him oh-so proud. I finally went home and went to bed at around 5:00am. Just in time to get 4 hours of sleep and start all over again.

I'm trying to be a DJ so I have to work on DJ time right?

I mentioned something in the last entry about having poor judgement, and I came to this conclusion:

YES indeed, I have poor judgement. But only when it comes to certain things. I give everything and anyone the benefit of the doubt.

I guess you can say I like to taste every flavor in a sense...but it seems that even though I don't like certain flavors I give it time and a few more tries before I take a liking to it.

Then I guess you can also say that there are some flavors that you crave you like them so much, but they are just way too bad for you...
