Double Standard

In life we must do what is best in order to provide to those whom we care for and satisfy ourselves to the upmost degree.
Now what is wrong with that statement? Does it sound appologetic? Does it have a certain cliche that eliminates how each and every human being choses to live? "In life we must do what is best. Hmmmm "what is best". Well, first of all, shouldnt we know what is worst too, in order to know what is best. And if so, where should we tie the rope in order to keep us at bay while we experience the worst in order to do the best? Trivial i say not. You may think it is, but rest assured i know you have thought about this statement in so many words. Begining with the choice of choice. You choose to choose, so therefore you are on your own for the most part. Once you recognize that, the intro sentence is nothing more than a "keep all hands and arms inside at all times". Well what if i dont want to. What if i want to stick my hand out knowing very well that there is no apparent danger lurking ahead, who are you or anyone else to tell me there is a hazard with what i do with my choices. Ahhhhh but there is. There is and there are patterns we all deal with once we take the time or spend the money to gain statistical status quo on different outcomes in particular situations. People drive fast going to work, and people drive even faster getting home. You may think this is an independent choice and that you in your car are the only subscriber to that act. Just like when you look to the sky and wonder where in the hell are all those airplanes flying-i see none. The way we live is the way we see the sky: either empty, full of possibility, beutiful, strange, unpredictable, scary, open, honest, spiritual.
And that sky belongs to all of us, would you look at that!!! Its our sky. Dont you think that large blue hue above your head means something when you think its only you in this world. When you run into someone at the time you needed to see them the most, dont you think that is a reward for someting you forgot you did. Welcome everything. Examine it with your mind as well as your blind heart. Blindness sees beuty and intelligence sees reality.

Initial recap of Collage Music @ El Dragon, Lima(Peru)

Last night was great at the Dragón. It started off a bit shakey because the turntable had not yet arrived, and i didn't pack allot of CDs for my set that night. I mean, they had the set up (CDJ1000s along with a brand new DJM 1000 mixer) and the friendliest staff. The guy who rents out the EQP to the club came up to me on stage and assured me that the decks were on the way. So i started off with the CDs and in 10 minutes the decks were being plugged in, seamlessly the music never stopped. I had so much fun, and the floor was on fire by 1am. By 2am everyones hands were in the sky when i closed up with Blaze's "Be Yourself". Special thanks to Love Monk for their shhh shhh tracks i got to play. Clean!!!! My next stop is GOTICA next friday. There i will be playing along with Felipe Salmon. He and i will be doing interval sets all the way to 6am, so i better get some sleep the night before. Lately sleep has been pretty tough due to my apartment being situated on

Collage in Peru

I am being treated very good down here, and i own it to my beautiful Mlle. Rockoto for her support and vibes. Also special thanks to my friend Franco Gambini, and GM of the Dragón Rodrigo Wangeman. I will be playing on the 2nd and the 9th at the big club here in Lima called Gotica. I will be playing with Dave Caulluman from the U.K and another DJ from abroad as well. Look out for more pics and more dates.

Dragon Review for 1/4/06

Well all I can say is that last night was brilliant. Even though it rocked on the 17th of December, last night there were no issues in the beginning. Im talking about equipment issues. On the 17th I showed up with a small batch of CDs and a full bag of records, and found no turntables on the stage...only CD players!!! The issue was resolved in a matter of 20 minutes, and i must say was a classy move, considering the in house DJ could just play the rest of the night in the hidden DJ booth. By experience i have encountered allot of shady promoters who would just do such a thing. Sam the equipment lender to the club took a cab home and brought back 2 technics and the show went on with a bang. Ill have some pics for last night. I just want to thank Christobal (Owner and operator of the Dragon) and Rodrigo (General Manager) for the bookings. I will be playing on the 20th at the other Dragon club located in Punta Hermosa Beach just an hour south of here. There should be around 500
