The Super Update Post

Ah, so I've forgotten to post in the past couple of weeks. Forgive me Nancy, Jen and other daily blog readers. So it's been an eventful past couple of weeks- where to start? Well first off Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, with good weather for the first time since 2002. I did my usual stint at the Copacabana for "Freestyle Fever 2005" and the turnout was amazing. The crowd was the most receptive, energetic crowd I've ever played for, freestyle or otherwise. Jay, George and I then headed over to Avalon where we met up with some of our other friends and hung out there for a couple of hours. It was a rare occurance- me being stone cold sober while my friends were totally trashed. Whatever- fun times. It was a great weekend and I'm definately pumped for the summer. We've had some good times the past couple of weeks- ironically all taking place on Staten Island. Jarrod and Jessica's engagement party, and the subsequent afterhours at the Black Dog was an awesome time, as was our night out at Vision Lounge in Huguenot (last visited as the Doo Wop Shoppe in the early 90's) for Chris Beck's birthday- where I proceeded to drop countless sums of money on Quick Draw. This weekend we're going down to Asbury to party at Paradise club and the following weekend we're going to AC for Jen's 24th B-day. Too bad I'm broke this month, so I sort of have to show some restraint with spending.

What else, what else...Oh so James, my trainer, got fired and has been replaced by this guy Mikey who I don't particularly love like I love James. James is my boy. But today I found out he might be coming back- which if he does I'm going to be happy as hell- considering I'm only paying 2G's for another 50 sessions and I'd like to get the most out of it. Speaking of 19th Street Gym, I DJ'ed there last Friday. Fun times. It's good practice I guess. I really have to stop relying on that 14 minute Johnny Vicious remix of "It's Not Right But It's Okay" though. Must break that habit! On the note of DJ'ing, Hosh and I had lunch on Saturday and he formally agreed he would be my manager, whatever that means. I'll believe it when he starts getting me booked. What else did my super-boss Hosh do...oh yeah...I'm probably getting a raise within the next month or so. Yay. 40G's here I come (fingers crossed).

I had dinner with Frank Manzo last week. So happy to be able to talk to someone about dance music who just understands everything. My boy Drew G got a spot opening up at Roxy, so I'll have to go hear him- he's another one who "gets it". DJ Superstardom is something that envelops my thoughts most of the day. But that's a whole post within itself.

I am very proud of Jay- for quitting smoking. It's been two weeks and he's only smoked a little bit when he's out and drunk, which is actually okay in my book. As long as he sticks to it, he'll be fine. I'm really hoping he gets through this, as I'm sort of viewing this little experiment in willpower and responsibility and considering it on a larger scale. After all, it's an incredible feeling knowing that someone you love was strong enough to beat an addiction like smoking a pack a day. So with that said, I just hope he's able to beat this. Maybe even get his ass in the gym or something. I worry about him lol.

Things at home are eh. Some stuff went down Monday morning, but I really don't have the energy to go into it, but I really do think I need to start seeing a therapist. Sometimes I just get really down about the state of affairs in my house, and I think its time that I start working myself out- mentally.

Ok this post was long and rambling- but what can I say- alot goes on and I like to document it all!
