Ep Ep Ere Ere

One thing that upsets me about myself is how I don't have any talents or a type of hobby that would seem to take up some personal time. I got a brother who break dances, another brother that is beginning to be a expert movie maker, and another brother that works on stage plays. I got friends who produce music, sing, rap, collect memoribilla from their favorite things, and a bunch of other hobbies and talents. That's one thing I've been lacking throughout my life, is a hobby that I would love to do during time off or to relieve some stress and what not.

There has been one thing that I have been sighting my sights on that I hope to plan on being one day and have as an off the side gig. Being a DJ. Yes, I want to become a DJ. I've been thinking about that for the longest time now and I'm seriously considering being one. That's been one of the main interests I've been wanting to get into outside of being a nurse. My love for Hip Hop and R and B is influencing me more to become one one day.

Not many will think that DJing is a form of art, even though it has been for many years just like break dancing, rapping, and whatever else that expresses feeling. During past school dances and seeing club atmospheres on television, you should notice that the DJ controls the whole atmosphere of the place. They are the ones that set the tone, allowing people to just free themselves and enjoy the music that's gonna be playing. I've always wanted to be the one that would make people wild out and enjoy themselves by playing the hottest music and hopefully I can be that one day.

Of course right now, I lack the funds to support myself with the equipment. All the equipment ranging from dual turntables to a mixer to a cd player and speaker can range from $500 to over $1000 and that's not even including the vinyl records. I've been searching for websites that sell the equipment and so far I've found a couple good sites. I need to get some hook ups from other people that DJ and find out where they get their equipment at and maybe get some tips from them (No Homo).

My main focus right now is to get into nursing. Once I accomplish that goal and get that good cashflow, better believe that for the spare change I have, I will be investing in DJing. It's gonna be a side gig of mine to enjoy as a hobby and hopefully earn a side of extra cash. I'm really gonna take this DJ thing serious. When people use to tell me I should be a DJ, I would just laugh it off and I didn't really listen. Now it's something I really want to take part in and make myself become a professional DJ.

Once I get the funds, the months of training and understanding of DJing, ya better holla at ya boy if you want the hook ups. I'll be a DJ for whoever wants me to be there just as long as the cashflow is straight. Parties, weddings, family gatherings, or whatever, holla. One more thing, DJ E.Jay will not be present anymore. Let it be known that DJ Effexx aka Special Effexx aka SFX will be in the building. I'm serious with this. My goal and some investment will go into DJing. With God's help, let's hope I make it come through.

One day I'll be carrying crates of these
