WORD! Things not to say to a DJ(funny but true:-))

Just Rediscovering this...Have a laugh it:-))))))))))


Things not to say to a DJ...(funny but true:-))

ATTENTION:
Before requesting songs, making comments, or asking questions to the D.J.,

please...
CHECK BELOW FOR YOUR REQUEST:


1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD...SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO!
The D.J. has to play for more than one person...so, what you may hate may be another's favorite song and EVERYTHING played here can be danced to one way or another.

2.WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A BEAT?
BE SERIOUS! We know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of a beat!

3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS...
Please don't sing for the D.J.! They have to put up with smoke-filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night. Do them a favor and DON'T give them a rendition of your favorite song!

4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT!
Oh sure, you polled EVERYONE in the club and, as their spokesperson, you are requesting the song.

5. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT!
If you are GOOD ENOUGH, you can get laid to anything!! (also been known as "buy the album and get laid for a month!")

6. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT!
The only people who can get away with that statement write the D.J.'s paycheck!

7. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANNA HEAR...WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
It's a lot easier for you to go have another beer and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the D.J. to recite the name of EVERY record in the booth!

8. HEY YO, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS!
It is not advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but, some people do anyway)! However, even if there is only ONE person on the floor, it STILL contradicts the statement.

9. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE TO IT IF YOU PLAY IT!
The D.J. won't...I guess that blows a hole in that theory!

****************************************************10. (THE TECHNO/HOUSE/PROGRESSIVE/TRANCE/DRUM N BASS/TECHHOUSE/ETC CLUBDANCE DJS WILL LOVE THIS ONE, CHECK IT OUT!!!!): If your at a club or event that doesn't play any Hiphop, don't ask "you got any hiphop"? Just go outside to your car and turn on the radio or watch mtv cause they blast it 24 hours a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOME ASSORTED THINGS NOT TO SAY
If you ask for a song and the D.J. says he just played it, DON'T SAY, "Well, I just got here." It makes absolutely no difference. DON'T SAY, "Is this the only kind of music you play?" If you go to a Chinese restuarant, you wouldn't ask for Italian food. Rock clubs play rock, alternative clubs play alternative, discos play disco, etc., etc., etc... If you ask for a song, BE SPECIFIC. DON'T SAY, "I wanna hear something, anything but this!" Try going to the bar and saying, "I wanna drink something, anything but this..." You can't complain if you're not SPECIFIC. HOWEVER, if you ARE specific and the D.J. says he doesn't have the song, DON'T SAY, "What?!! What do you mean you don't have it? What kind of d.j. are you? Why don't you get into the wonderful world of fast food! You obviously don't know what you're doing as a D.J.!"...
THE DJ MAY SHOOT YOU!!! OR DROP KICK YOUR ASS MATRIX STYLE!

Special Note
A nightclub D.J. gets very little respect. They are expected to play everything for everybody. It is impossible to satisfy all to the people all of the time, yet club jocks are expected to do just that. If a radio jock tells his listeners a song is a hit, the majority of the people think it must be "because they said so on the radio." However, 80% of the time that same song was being played in a club long before the radio "DISCOVERED" the "NEW" song. So give the D.J. a break! The next time you request a song, stop and think before you speak. Remember a request is just that... a request!! It's not a guarantee your song will get played!! Ask once for your song and the DJ will try and play it. Keep asking and you're being a pain in the ass!Don't send all your friends to request the same song hoping to get it played. DJ's aren't that stupid!! They get dozens of requests in a night and there isn't enough time to play them all.


And above all, if the Dj has one hand on the mixer, one hand on a TURNTABLE - wearing headphones,
DON'T BUG US unless you know us!!!!!!!

Oh, I almost for got one more thing. Don't flash us any money for your request unless your "DONALD TRUMP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LoL

Destined for GREATNESS...

Hey World,

This is my first "real" blog post. The previous ones were just copy and pasted on how I felt and or wanted to share with anyone who wanted to peer into my thought process. I guess this is therapeutic a way to get some stuff that was marinating in my dome. Alright here it goes... this is going to be written as if i was scatter brained talking to you (like i do in real life), so i apologize in advance for the run-on's and incorrect use of writing. So I guess you can call this rambling (thanks Maria).

Here it goes... Greatness... I know everyone has a destiny and or calling in life... it's been close to 6 years since high school and i'm rethinking a lot of things... I'm greatful for everything that in my life and all the things i have been blessed with. As the days go, I move forward in a lot of ventures, but also neglect others. With many talents comes delgation... "what is really important?" This is not rant on what I can do or what my abilities are, but a deeper thought as to how my life is unraveling and what paths to pursue, while not leaving anything left behind.

I've been told, I do way too much, which i believe is true. At the end of the day my mind is saying "wait a minute...there's something else", but since I had so many things/activities i'm thinking or pursuing I get mentally burnt out to finish the other tasks... I love a lot of things, I love my family, I love my girlfriend (a lot, which is my soulmate and i know in my heart we were made for each other...well that's another topic)... *tangent* i love my hobbies (music, photography, pretty much anything that involves creativity), i enjoy personal development, i enjoy health and wealth and i love learning (adding to my limitless encylopedia). I just love doing a lot, but with all those things, I sacrifice a lot. I sacrified education...because of my choices...I should have already been graduated... but i was too stubborn to dicipline myself... now i'm still in school and i have no passion on finishing (as of yet). In my mind a lot of things are pointless, but they are necessary. It seems like with great powers comes great responsibility... (thanks spiderman)... it's so simple, but rings so true. It seems that I have to just put things on hold. Brian Tracy said put things on a list and label them from high priority to low priority, then just knock em out... and whatevers left undone wasn't even important in the first place. It's seems that people spend their lives on the low priority things, because we make them seem important.... Here are my things on my plate.

- School 2 more years? (or i want to go to spec's howard and do film/broadcast) <= creative
(traditionally finishing with my BS in Marketing...oh yeah... job security)

- Photography/ Video (i have visions of how everything should look)
(ever since i was younger everytime i heard a song on the radio, i knew exactly in my mind how it should look...that probably explains why i was attracted to marketing.....but i realized i used to watch the MTV show Making the Video religiously...and it just dawned on me why.. because i would love to be the next Hype Williams (video director)

*opps, to be continued... i just went on a google spree with Hype Williams...

i like anybody who's doing their thing, to the best of their ability.

to be continued.... (damn this is a long rant)...

I love being in love...

And these are the 10 Reasons that I know she is the "one"

Number 10

You've forgotten your ex
More often than not, a breakup is followed by a significant amount of time spent thinking about her and wondering whether or not you guys made the right decision in going your seperate ways. Depending on how long the two of you were together, these doubts can resurface again and again.

Ever since you met her , however, the thought of getting back together with your ex is the furthest thing from your mind. Come to think of it, you barely recall what you found so great about your ex in the first place.

Number 9

You can't stop thinking about her
Instead, you are consumed by thoughts of her . She just pops into your head for no apparent reason, and you wonder if she thinks of you half as much as you think of her. You wonder what she's up to and even consider calling her (but refrain from doing so for fear of looking overeager).

But it gets worse. You're out with your friends and you see something in a shop window and think about how much she would like that particular item, or you notice a poster for a show that she would love, but normally wouldn't even have looked twice at it.

If she's the last thing on your mind before you go to sleep and the first thing on your mind when you wake up -- and you've even dreamed of her on a couple of occasions -- then you don't really even need to read on to know if you're in love (but should anyway, just to be sure).

Number 8

You care about her
There is a reason why you don't really want to know too much about the chick you had a one-night stand with: you don't love her. When you're in love with a woman, you want to know all about her: who she is, what she thinks, what makes her laugh. You truly care about her and her feelings.

If you truly love a woman, you feel bad if she had a bad day or is upset about something. You don't try to cheer her up because you have to , but because you can't help it.

Number 7

You find her quirks charming
The fact that she carries her passport with her everywhere she goes -- just in case -- and that, when she's eating, she can't help but construct every forkful, so that it is the perfect blend of ingredients, fills you with an inexplicable feeling of happiness.

She does and says things that make her different, and you like it. You can't quite put your finger on why, but it doesn't even matter. You like her just the way she is.

Number 6

You have great chemistry
You can't be in love with someone that you have no chemistry with. If you and her seem to always be on the same wavelength, and think in similar ways, that's a great sign. If you also generate enough heat to set off a five-alarm fire bell, then she is probably someone that you could fall in love with, if you aren't there already.

Did you see that gorgeous blonde that just walked by? What do you mean, "no"?!?...

Number 5

You don't notice other women as much
Although you can't help noticing a beautiful woman when one walks by, when you're in love, some of them tend to slip under the radar, while others just pale in comparison to her. Furthermore, you don't seem to be flirting half as much as you used to.

You are slowly realizing that she's often the only woman in the room that matters, and, for some reason, that suits you just fine.

Number 4

You love spending time with her
This one is pretty obvious but important nonetheless. You look forward to seeing her, and don't care much about what the two of you will be doing. Lately, just going for a walk with her sounds like the best way you could possibly spend an evening.

Furthermore, when you're not together, you miss her and wish you were.

Number 3

You don't mind compromising sometimes
There was a time when it was your way or the highway, but, with her it's different. Not that she asks you to, but you don't mind missing a night out with the guys to be with her. And you find yourself trying to incorporate her into your plans or altering them to accomodate her.

You also find yourself not putting up a fight when she wants to go to Shakespeare in the Park. Although your friends find this very amusing, you know that deep down, they wish that they had found a love like yours.

Number 2

Other priorities take a backseat
You used to train religiously, but lately, if she's free for dinner, you don't mind missing a workout. Not only that, but your workaholic tendency of bringing home your work on weekends to get ahead seems a bit excessive to you as of late.

Your ever-important "to-do" list seems quite stagnant these days, as being with her always manages to render your other plans and obligations obsolete. What was it that you absolutely had to do by four o'clock again?

Number 1

You start thinking about the future and she's in it
It used to be that the future with a woman meant your date on Saturday night, but, with this woman, the future seems infinite. Not only do you plan to see her this weekend, but you want to see her a year from now as well.

When planning your next vacation, you know you want to spend it with her, and not a random beach bunny you happen to meet while you're there. And when you get an invitation to a wedding in three months from now, you ask her to be your date, without thinking that it's too far away to tell if you'll still be together.

she's the one

If you are currently dating a woman that makes you act in any of the ways mentioned above, then you, my friend, are seriously falling for her. It's time to put away the little black book for a while and enjoy the ride.

I'd like to share and e-mail that I received.

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day?

However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can get back his/her focus on what's important.

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened.

I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck." Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you.

When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did."

So this was it: The "Law of the Garbage Truck." I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, on the streets?

It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore."

I began to see garbage trucks. Like in the movie "The Sixth Sense," the little boy said, "I see Dead People."

Well, now I see Garbage Trucks everywhere. I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.

One of my favorite football players of all time, Walter Payton, did this every day on the football field.

He would jump up as quickly as he hit the ground after being tackled. He never dwelled on a hit. Payton was ready to make the next play his best. Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.

Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.

What about you?
What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?

Here's my bet.
You'll be happier.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, TAKE IT!
If it changes your life, LET IT!
Nobody said it would be easy...
They just promised it would be worth it!


"People happen in your life..they move in or pass through. You can't make it be either, but you must enjoy whatever there is."
