A Song That Makes You Want To Dance (Anything dutchhouse definitely makes me go crazy [also, this is an older song. It was re-released with Steve Aoki’s album though :P])
Bummed Vent
So I don’t want to come off as angry or anything, because it’s not my place to be angry. Although I will admit, I’m a bit upset. I was supposed to DJ for my friend’s sister’s 18th birthday, the payment for which was going to cover my trip to Vegas for EDC (I slashed my price by 50% in this case, friends and family discount. It’s a modest amount, and even on a road trip, frugality is key). And I’ve been prepping a lot in advance, cranking out a few more mash-ups and mixes to use in the set, and practicing mixing in general. Yesterday, the birthday girl told me that her uncle and aunt paid another guy to spin for the birthday. Not gonna lie, I’m pretty bummed, since I spent quite awhile prepping for it. And at the same time, I’m very worried about how I’m going to pay for EDC. I only have 4 and and a half months to come up with at least $200 to cover the travel. If it comes down to it, I’m going to have to sell my ticket, which is not a pleasant thought in the least. But hey, if I wait long enough, I can get an abhorrent amount for it on Craigslist or something.

Do you Believe in Social Classes?
Now this is a rather strange question, as it can mean more than a few things. The question could be asking if I believe in the validity of “social classes” (which I’m assuming means classes like sociology, anthropology, and the like). It can also mean if I believe in social classes, like upper, middle, and lower class (and all the in-betweens). It may refer to a belief in government, social structures and conventions in general. There’s more to list but I don’t want to answer ALL of the possibilities. Social classes such as sociology are perfectly valid ventures with important implications in our society. Upper, middle, and lower class, I’m not sure if I’d say I “believe” in them. However, it’s way better than being socialist because I want to earn my money, earn my A, and I’d like to keep my earnings as I see fit, and not have it divvied up out of my control. Now, when it comes to government, I believe that in a perfect world, it should exist to serve the people and the minute that stops being the case, it must be overthrown for a better system, simply put. Now, with social convention, I just find the entire notion of it rather fascinating. What we define as socially acceptable, is so hardwired into our DNA, by our families, friends, civilization in general, that we don’t even think about it. There are things you do, and things you don’t do, end of story. But even so, I find myself thinking of a different place, where handshakes are insults, and middle fingers are reserved for the deepest level of intimacy. My explanation may be a bit convoluted, but there you have it.

What’s your Biggest Piss Off/Pet Peeve? Why?
I’ve listed a few of my pet peeves here, here, and here. Out of those, I don’t think I can really pick one as first choice. Mainly because I’ve gotten rid of the connections with the people who are constantly exhibiting passive-aggression, or the 12-year olds who belt IDGAF every 5 minutes, or the individuals who fantasize about their haters. I guess in the one, the one thing that will always grind me up, however, is people who are blatantly inconsiderate. But that’s not really a pet peeve, so much as a general irk. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who likes people who are douchebags in that fashion.

A Song you Liked When you were Younger (A definite part of my childhood)
What do you Honestly Think About your Looks? Do they Cross your Mind Much?
Honestly, I think I’m on the high end of average. I know that I’m not unattractive, but at the same time, I’ve rarely ever felt like, insanely hot or anything of the sort. It doesn’t cross my mind much, though. I’m actually grateful I’m not one of those stereotypically gay men who fusses too damn much over their physical appearance. I can proudly say I’ve never had a facial treatment, or a mani/pedi, or had my eyebrows done, or anything like that (not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course, but that’s the unfortunate association with gay men and their hygiene). The only thing I worry about recently is my figure, and that equates more to health than anything else. It’s easy to tear yourself up over the way you look, but you have to remember that anybody who’ll toss you aside just because of them isn’t worth keeping around to begin with anyway.

What Would be the Hardest and Most Fearful Thing you Would Ever Have to Face in Your Lifetime? Why Does This Scare you so Much?
The hardest thing in my life is continuing to grow up. I’m no longer a kid, as much as I can’t seem to accept it. The more days go by, the more I long to go back, to a simple time where I didn’t have to worry about disease, money, food, projects, grades, even getting through the day. It was as simple as waking up. The final facet of growing up, at least for me, is coming up sooner than even I had thought. Last day of school is in 2 months and 8 days. Graduation, in roughly 3 months. The real world, immediately after that, and that’s what freaks me out more than anything. The fact that I feel like I’m going to be thrown into the fray almost unprepared for what’s going to happen. The fear that I’m just going to fail, which isn’t helped by my current, negative trajectory at school. The dread of all the disappointed faces, clicks of the tongue, the, “I knew it“‘s and “told you so“‘s. It’s a very overwhelming notion, which isn’t at all aided by the absolute misery I’ve been experiencing this past month. I’m running out of time, and it freaks me out. I just hope I get a handle of this soon, before it completely gets the best of me.
