True Life: I'm a DJ

So, with the free will that this blog permits, I'm gonna oblige myself and do a lil shameless and bragadocious self-promoting.  I'm not usually one to be a spotlight"whore" but tonight I think I'm kind of a badass, to be frank.  The thing is---- is that I'm a radio star.  Maybe you didn't know that about me.  At least I like to think that I am... although really only like 2 people listen, but tonight I am playing frakking awesome music and am stoked to be sharing my love of beatz and tunez with those clicking in to my show.  Famous, my friends, famous.  Haha!  Not at all acutally, but I dream, I dream...

Being completely honest though, doing this show (every Tuesday, 8-10 Chile time.. tune in peeps!!) is always one of my favorite parts of the monotonous week of blahness.  I always leave on such a high, and the two hours FLY.  Never feel like I can fit enough songs in the short span.  Dance.  Grin.  Sing along.  How can that not be awesome??  For yours truly it's quite the release.  Hard to have a bad day on air.

So, taking a gander, I'm assuming that this is the feeling that you're supposed to have when you're "working but not working."  Can't say I get this sensation in the office.  No way Josè.  Yeck.  The only other time I am blessed with this time-flying, no-concept-whatsoever of the hour is when I sit and paint.  Could do it for 9 hours and have no idea that 45 minutes have slipped through my brushes.  Clueless.  Something to aspire towards in a career related perspective for sure.  Can I be a DJ-ing artist?? Not likely, unless I'm in the market of vagabonding.  But-- I'm gonna take a sip from my fleeting half full glass and presume that somehow I'll find the path that leads to this sort of hourless bliss. 

But for now, I'll delight you peeps with the playlist from this evening's show.  I can't help but say it rules.  Enjoy-

  2. That's really cool that you have a radio show!

    And I will say that no matter how much you love what you do, when you start earning a living from it, it won't necessarily always be hourless bliss :)
