We got word this morning that our—and I do mean “our—dj controller is on its way from Florida. It should be here Thursday by the end of the day. It got me so excited, I literally couldn’t work this morning. I had to listen to a bunch of music to prepare.
I’ve been out of the dance music scene for almost a decade. Like, OUT of it. I sold my CDJs, professional CD players, and my turntables when we moved into our apartment here. I needed the money, but I’d also decided that I was going to give up trying to be a professional DJ. It wasn’t my future.
And that was correct. It isn’t my future, at least not in any way that I can see right now…but I do still love music. Obviously. And I loved being able to lose myself in it whenever I wanted. I still can, obviously, with playlists and such, but DJing is an entirely different experience. I’m in control, in the flow, and when two tracks blend perfectly together, they become something entirely new, something I created that hasn’t existed before.
It’s. Fucking. Magic.
And I miss it. So…when a pang of guilt inevitably came this morning as I was “wasting” time building a new library of music to try out on this new gadget…I realized that my excitement quite simple couldn’t be contained, and it was futile to try. In fact, it was pointless. There wasn’t a pressing deadline this morning I had to hit. I could make up any lost ground in the afternoon, and I did.
That was nice. It was a wonderful morning. And I still can’t wait for that fucking controller to come. I hope it works.
Liz has the Switch in bed right now and she’s talking to her sister on the phone while she visits her island in Animal Crossing. What an amazing game. They’re able to interact and visit each other over the internet. Play together. It’s almost like being together in person. Pretty dope.
We watched Age of Ultron today and that movie is less magical. A misstep in the MCU, for sure. There aren’t a ton of them, remarkably, but this was one. I wondered if maybe it would hold up slightly better since the first time I watched it, but it didn’t. It was worse, I think. Blech.
Today was a good day. Now, time to sleep and make tomorrow a great day. I’m casting with the Josh 🙂
