Some years ago: there was a time where I was nothing. I was barely a blip of existence on the radar. My best friend took a chance, and invested in me by getting me some dj equipment. The day I got it, he played this song for me, and he told me that we will bump it the day Ive made it and I bring him with me. Although, I may not have made it huge, or anything like that: I have definitely made it. Ive lived my dreams. Last weekend, there was a party known as jtb xi where many of us gathered to camp out, share stories, and have a good time. I was bestowed the honor of sharing the decks for my final dj set with a legend. None other than The Doctor. Over the years as a dj, I went from a complete zero, to what many have referred to me as an absolute hero, a legend in my own right. Ive been blessed with so many opportunities. To have so many fellow musician type and support driven friends across the globe. I could tag a good friend from somewhere in damn near any continent, and several in every state in the USA. I cant even express just what I feel when I think back on all of the gigs Ive had. Ive had such an interesting run. I have my best friend to thank for pushing me to get out and stop being a bedroom dj. His belief in me drove me to achieve all that I have. This song Im sharing, is a very deep one. On the way home from jtb at a closed off gas station I pulled off into and he followed me in. We caught up after getting out of the 8 mile trail. As we were about to leave, he tricked me into putting my top down on my car. As I was doing that, he blasted this song out of his car. For the first time in a very long time, I actually smiled, and shed some tears. My drive home was one of reflection, and all in all I am very satisfied. Cruising through the mountains with the top down under the stars. I dont know how to describe it. I was at a loss for words. Guys, I urge you to reach out for your dreams. I beg you all to take the steps for your goals. There will be so many people to put you down along the way, but damnit fight for your dreams and push yourself to the next level and god damnit dont give up! Youll never know what youre missing out on! I have lived my dreams, and let me tell you all, every bad day, every moment of torment, every sleepless night, blood sweat and tears is worth it! Growing up I was the one who always got picked on. I was the one who was always put down, and pushed around. I always wished to just be accepted. To date, Ive had enemies from those days approach me and tell me they wish they could be me! To wish they could have what I have! The second you give up on what you strive for, is the second you give up on yourself! Im not saying its going to be easy. Im not saying youre going to be a superstar overnight. Im not saying youre going to make insane money. There have been times where I wanted to give up. But I pushed through. I challenge any of you to fail at your dreams. You wont fail if you keep pushing yourself. But dont forget your family, and friends to help you along the way. Because in the end, together you too, can make it. Its been a pleasure guys and gals. Much love.
