Confessions of a former dj groupie
So I must confess
Yes
I was a dj groupie
Perhaps even a wannabe
You see
For the dj groupie is of a different quality
They don't bomb dressing rooms drunk
They hit up spots & look fly & get crunk'd
They're the females constantly lookin at the dj booth
Dancin, romancin w/ the music
Rockin, poplockin w/ the beat
Are constantly wonderin, "Is he lookin at me?"
Or is he just lookin at the crowded sea
of people bobbin to the beat
Yes these are the thought of a dj groupie
& then that damn moment comes
When his set is done
& he grabs his drink
& he does this shuffle, this slink
& somehow ends up dancin next to you
Then dancin with you
Then choppin some game like,
"Girl you always look fly, why don't YOU ever call ME?"
Excuse me?
CALL YOU?
Perhaps its bc I got the number for the hotline of your weekly spot and NOT YOU.
Oh PLEASE...
I must confess
I did fantasize a perfect life
As a dj...wife? [well not really, but it rhymed, a gf IF anything]
Lookin all important
Gettin in to all the spots
And if the bouncer questioned my presence
I could rightly use the phrase,
"Excuse me, I'm w/ the DJ"
And he'd check that guest list
No I wouldn't get pissed
Bc hey...I'm w/ the DJ
Yes this, this is a dj groupie fantasy
But as the break beats fill the night air
& the alcohol blends w/ my system
I begin to forget all that
& just dance...
& then
then the sets done
It's last call
& its time to find a bite to eat
Bc its 2am & all that dancin has made me a bit famished, a bit hungry
So I walk out the door w/ my friends and/ or
Hand in hand w/ my man
The dj is still packing up his vinyl, & his 1s and 2s
As I sit in a vinyl diner booth & await my late night food
Yes this, this is the life of a dj groupie.
And you might find a friend of your dj on friendster
Or read game on your instant message box on AIM & ponder,
"Am I insane?"
Is there an actual possibility of living a dj groupie fantasy
But wait, back to life, back to reality
Bc I do not want to live that life constantly
Its called my break from everyday normality
My dj groupie life is nothing but a break from my daily routine
I say these things & don't mean to be mean
But a dj partner in crime just doesn't suite me
Unless your game does not consist of bragging about your dj friends & turntable abilities
Then perhaps there could be a coupling possiblity
But for now I'll stick to my wits about it
& leave the dj's to the realm of night life, good music & hot steppin
Yes this is my former dj groupie life lesson.
much love to all the djs that read this....but i think j9ers can feel me on this.
peace out y'alls.
ikalat muna "pass it around"
so it seemed to have started out like any other api conference i've ever been too, but it drastically turned into something quite different. sure my meals consisted of bar food and drinks and the occasionally chicago deep dish pizza and my la ass had to get used to this thing called "walking around." i met many people who changed me and made me smile, laugh, and cry. and yes through friendster there is that connection. i can't sum up my entire weekend in chicago but i'll do what i do best and make a list!
-first plane rides outta lax
-hostels with leftist socialist convention mom and daughter and other euros
-noticing that there are lots of black folk
-cute babies all over [babies being real babies not boys]
-cute boys too!
-annoying hostel elevators
-group scavenger hunts in albany park
-lil vietnamese market and buying yan yan, white rabbit, and shrimp chips
-learning that oprah changed the shape of lychee cups by callin it killer candy bc stupid non asian folk were chokin on them! damn you oprah for changing my favorite lychee candy into a fruit cup that needs a spoon!
-the L train, noticin the one they used for lance bass' movie on the line
-de paul university, vittum theater, hot house
-mad west coast ppls
-the la boys lookin all thug life and gangster
-thinking i should buy something from blacklava but talking with the la ppls and saying "i know i wanna buy something but we see him all the time"
-smoking a lot
-rolling my ankle [i was wondering if that would happen. damn you weak ankles from playing high school ball!!]
-my stylish lookin "brace" that was really some scarves tied around my ankle for support
-those really really cool green and black dunks that geo was wearing that were actually someone elses
-buckingham fountain-its the fountain at the beginning of married with children
-listening to a classical orchestra and opera singers to sound check in grant park.
-art institute of chicago - FREE MUSEUM TUESDAYS in chicago....that's sooooo dope
-lots of universities in the area
-a really really nice 7/11
-ping pong tourney in the hostel
-the texas ppls always in the kitchen late at night
-checking friendster on a lecture hall computer, projecting it on a screen for everyone to see, and for everyone to start jonesin for friendster right at that moment
-add me as your friendster ok?! i'll write you a testimonial!
-finally meeting dandiggity!
-last 2tongues show....damn i'll be listening to that cd at home for a while
-realizing its ok to cry when a piece touches you
-releasing anger, fear, and pain
-the cipher outside the 2tongues show and how johneric just flipped it and got the whole crowd into it
-corosh incident - white people in the midwest suckass, "asianville" comment. instead of beating that dudes head into the ground, the summit ppls talked it over with him and dropped some knowledge.
-bar louie - food, drinks, loud singing, hanging out with family, and the chicago pd booting us out...
-walking in downtown chicago at night....realizing you can't do that back home
-being homesick with the la ppls
-richard's twin!!! robert karimi is your twin richie! i'll show you pictures
-dancin in the street
-yawp kids are dope. lyle my summit partner!
-dope ass spoken word that caused me to laugh with joy and cry with pain
-ikalat muna pass it around
-we are a family
-we are my people
-humid heat and sweat
-o'hare airport and realizing thats where the filipinos are at
-creating my own version of rollingstone
-the plane ride back and my headache :(
-yonk! snagged me a blanket
-the sad business man in front of us trying to make conversation with the girl next to him.
-prime time shuttle back to irvine
-up to who knows talking about the past week
-back to life back to reality
i think that with every situation a person shall change. however small or drastically. some facet of their life will be affected. this summit changed my perspective on the api community. there is such thing as yellow power. brown is beautiful. yellow is beautiful. my people are these people. the things we all went through are experiences that we've shared that we'll keep forever and eber.
if friends are like a busride and they constantly get on and off. in the past couple of days nearly a hundred people got on the bus and nearly a hundred people got off. but the duration of the ride isn't what matters, the fact that they were there for the ride does.
peace...
love....
and
SOUL!!!!!
don cornelius woulda been proud hahaha
