Relevant af… Been flirting with the idea of finally buying pro DJ gear after like 16 years of being a DJ. Have done a jillion weddings, and a healthy dose of misc functions from corporate shindigs, galas, house parties, bars, etc…

Have limped along so far by borrowing gear whenever I had a proper gig (plenty of friends in the scene) but now I have some fun money budget. The spicy pro gear is soooo stupidly expensive but about time I had real gear off my own. The cereal box bedroom toy deck only gets you so far.

Good on you for challenging beliefs and forming your own opinions. Not easy to pull yourself out of these things.

All my homies love Dropout

A very thoughtful write up! Thanks for taking the time.

Damnit that’s a great problem to have! 🤤

Endangered Monk seal when I was snorkeling in Hawaii. Dude was just suddenly there! Saw sea turtles and plenty of fish. Like some finding Nemo shit.

For me at least, I’m uncomfy with like, how close furry’s rejected Disney mascot kink is to a beastiality kink. Not to say they’re even that close! I’m surely oversensitive here! But I think that’s where my overall lack of pure acceptance comes from.

It’s goofy to me that the people out here like “fuck yeah, that fox with anime eyes is sexy.”

I try not to be a hater, but I have trouble with this scene so I let it be. “Consenting adults; none of my business.”

Congrats and best of luck with plan A, but kudos for having a killer plan B!

As a dude, I’m constantly gobsmacked by how many dudes are just the fucking worst when it comes to dating. Like, fellas, it really isn’t that hard to avoid being a creep.

Shit like this is why we cannot be trusted with death penalty. The day we execute an innocent person, we all get blood on our hands.

More pvp souls for me weee

Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I’m into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.

By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc… And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus’ song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.

Weird to think where I’d be without either.

That’s the curse, man. Finally got fun money budget (kinda), but also got zero damn free time. Don’t even have kids! Where the hell is all the damn time going?! HOW is it the last week of August?!

Definitely would keep the gear to try and share with the kids. Old music tech is dope! Old tech in general, still quite cool. Loved hitting retro games on the thicc floppy back in the day. Or whatever other gadget pops would have around. Cherished times.

Tossed a hefty chunk of change on a Maschine+. AKA fancy beat pad for finger drumming/music production that can operate as standalone device. Did catch on sale, but still a hefty investment.

While not as “responsible” as other things I’m saving for, it’s been a fucking blast! Always fun having an easy way to kick beats without schlepping a full kit, and tbh I have so much more potential for making weird noises with the pad.

Wait is it confirmed they’re not picking that back up? I thought that movie was pretty solid! Really felt ripe for franchising. Could either continue that party, or same actors different campaign, etc… so much potential!

I got into a fender bender with someone I knew from college. Spun out on ice so we meet front to front when we bumped. Once the cars stopped I swear we both practically did the cartoon eye rub of disbelief lolol.

Not mine but old school crew story. Couple of lads bumped into each other in a bar in Europe - we from the States. Neither knew the other was traveling. Heard a distinct laugh across the pub and rest is history.

One step at a time, one day at a time. You’ll be back on that skateboard before ya know it!

Nostalgia is a helluva drug for that one. Shit was unreal when it came out

Eh, just wasn’t made for you. Not everyone needs to listen to death metal either.
