Yes, the reason why that is one it will keep my mind occupied and another thing is that it's something tanigble. Doing work on a computer feels like it's making me lazy and ruins my discipline too in other areas where I just stare at a screen all day long and even on my way to work or on the train and at home as well. It feels like it's like giving me the illusion that I am doing pseudo productive work
What's on your mind today?

In a year that's already had its share of surprises, August 1st is probably gonna be the biggest night of my life so far:
This is the mini-festival that I was pre-booked to play at over a month ago, since the club's owner (also a manager at my day job) believes in my talent that much! Some of the other DJs had to compete for a slot (see the Round 3 and 4 winner slots). I'm not playing first; the list is just alphabetized. So I need to get cracking on putting a crate for this gig together - I'm think I'm gonna go for some harder progressive house / semi-soft progressive trance.
Wish me luck!

Can't believe Mike Shinoda thinks that people don't like the new singer because she is a girl. Well, filling in for Chester is a big shoes to fill in maybe they should called themselves something else other than Linkin Park. I don't rate the new singer highly not because she is a girl I just don't think she is any good.

This may be an overgeneralization but it's something I have observed over the years and it still rings true for me when I talk to people...people who listen to trance seem to have a lot more depth and are more in touch with their emotions than those who don't...

Buying something...
More camping gear, a (higher and more offroad capable) car, another camera, another lens...
Meanwhile, I don't really go anywhere... A trip every couple of months, nothing more.
And at 30, I fear there is very little time left for me to go out and enjoy spending days deep in the mountains.
Starting to feel a bit trapped, so I live through gear at least, a promise that one day it may be used.

I don't go camping, that's the point. Used to a couple of times in the past. Usually, it's a private house/apartment somewhere in the mountains where I can hike from. Once every couple of months, for a few days. But I want to go more than that.
All through my treks in Chile, Bolivia and Peru I saw 60+ year olds hiking massive multi day trails. Even last week, an older couple, at least 55 or more, was out pacing me up a 3.5 hour incline. So much time left bud.

Ah OK. I hope to go camping in the fall. All my friends and family are bitches lol. No one wants to go real camping in tents. They wanna rent air bnb but I don't wanna do that. I'd go by myself except I've listened to way too many camping horror stories on YT lol
(even if they are fake still creepy af) but then again I love being spooked so I might just do it if I can take a gun with me just in case anyone tries that YT horror shit with me

True, and I don't deny that. But...that all depends on if you have kids (and how many), if you need to support them for 20+ years, the financial situation and so on. It's possible, but not as straightforward; that's why I want to do all those things now, unburdened.
I think a fully loaded AR-15 should be enough in case someone wants you to squeal like a piggy.Ah OK. I hope to go camping in the fall. All my friends and family are bitches lol.

For those who want to spot a dodgy link here is a website that will help you and they have a community as well. This is a benign link (as in the mp3raid website) below but Virus total was able to spot it as well but google safe browsing wasn't able to spot it. It also detect files but just be careful if it's sensitive information do not upload it without the paid subscription otherwise other users can see the file.

I can't wait for summer to be over. It's funny how when I was younger summer was my favorite season and winter was my least favorite. Now I can't wait for summer to be over and for colder weather to arrive lol. Still hate snow but whatever I'll take it over the scorching heat any day now
Hey just remember there are people out there who have to live through 40C everyday for an entire year. If you go Alice Springs it's like that and the night gets freezing cold sometimes as well.

I might get some hate for this but I actually LOVE Tiesto Kaleidoscope album. It's a fun album to listen to and there are some catchy tunes on there that are undeniably good. There, I said it. Let the hateful comments begin

I guess people adapt to their environment. IDK what happened to me, I used to LOVE summer and hot weather, now I'm like "fuck that shit" lol. I wish I could live somewhere where it's cold all year around.

We have invite Ben Lost to Shenzhen for a 3h Lost Language Set, also local supported by @Lawn Jarre.
I talked a lot with Ben yesterday, and also introduce our TF.R to him. I told him that @LostLegend and @Sunda are also in the label, who are in Lost Language. I also strongly recommended him to listen to the wonderful album by @Jetflag, hope he will like it too.
Wish that he can invite you to Lost Language to do some remix or release some originals.
