It's friday night so I'm a bit drunk
Man university is such a load of shit. I can't stand it. Why on earth did I think that a passion for music would be further enhanced by an environment which treats everything like it's a book to be read? Am I the only person in my class that is interested in anything progressive or forward thinking? I'm sick of sitting through classes with a bunch of pseudo-intellectual classists whose agenda is to wow everyone else with their vision of enlightened discourse. Fuck this, I am out! I am cutting my degree short and graduating this year!
Also, this decision stems from the fact that I have been poor and living with my parents and that I'm 24. Man, the world is huge, and opportunities are abound when you are not stuck in a classroom paying $2400 to learn about the lyrical and performative aspects of "negro" music AGAIN. What a joke! It's like fucking math to these people.
What will I do? I'm not quite sure yet. I have a number of hobbies that I wish to pursue that I would otherwise not be able to on a student budget. I would love to travel and teach again, and with a degree, that would be so much easier. Perhaps I would like to take a college course in drawing or design and get a little more creative, who knows? Fact of the matter is, what I am doing now is crap; frustrating, expensive crap, and continuing on for another year would be a waste o' time. I just want the piece of paper that says I completed the shit.
I have realized that I haven't really updated in a while so, here's what I've been up to:
1: I am going back to CHUO and starting up a new show of my own. It will most likely be called Kicks and Licks and I'll play all sorts of dancefloor favourites, remixes, bangers, mashups and rock and roll party tracks. I hope I get an evening slot cause playing Klaxons remixes at 1pm would be a bummerrrr...
2: I am starting to collect vinyl. A little late in the game I suppose, but collecting video games got way too expensive and I don't even have time to play them anymore. I listen to way more music now anyways and I hope to someday learn about beat matching and slip cueing and all that.
3: I am screwing around with electronic music and audio manipulation programs. I haven't had any musical friends in a while, so I've taken to doing stuff by myself. So far I kind of suck at it, but maybe I'll get better. I can mix tracks really well, but anything I make myself, I don't really like too much.
4: I am moving out. Fingers crossed, but this may happen as soon as November 1st. I found an amazing place right at Bayview station and I'm just waiting to hear back from the landlord. If this happens, I will be thrilled. THRILLED. Seriously, everyone will be welcome over whenever, and you can bet there will be a housewarming party.
5: I am the king of Facebook Scrabble. I challenge anyone to challenge me. You have no idea how seriously I take that shit.
Uhm yeah. So what the hell's happening on Halloween this year? I have possibly the greatest costume idea ever, but nowhere to go. C'mon guys??
