DJ AM

In the last few months many people have been discussing the death of DJ A.M. If you have heard a mix he made or watched a video that he is in then you truly know how talented he really was. I didn't know DJ A.M.. I never met him, but I am truly grateful for a message he has been able to send beyond music. I am so glad that MTV decided to air the series, "Gone Too Far". My family has definitely had its battles with alcohol and drug addiction. My own relationship with my father has been greatly affected by these diseases. On one of the episodes, AM says, "Sobriety is for those who want it, not necessarily for those who need it." Many of the people need it, do not want it. I myself have struggled with my own bad habits in regards to what I eat and drink, and need to change my ways to be a healthier and better person. Many people have judged DJ AM since his death. Remember the person, a human life, and their entire body of work. He says in the opening of the show that he is doing the show for one reason, and that is to help others get sober. You will be missed, RIP DJ AM.

Sunday Fundays

Hey all. Just wanted to say what's up and try to get used to making a habit about posting pretty regularly here at BlogSpot.

Wanted to put a few thank yous out there for some Sundays that have been a lot of fun. First off, a shout out to DJ Zimmie and DJ Nugget (aka tinyGIANT) for all of their help, and inviting me to guest DJ at S Bar. Those guys are the resident DJs at S Bar, and they do this every Sunday. I have been in S Bar a ton, but never had the chance to play there. Zimmie did the first and last hours, and I had the two in the middle. I had a lot of fun, played a little bit of everything, and was amazed how quick the night went. For those who don't know about S Bar, make sure you get familiar. They got a whole other side of the building that will be opening soon for the weekends, and have Djs Wednesday through Sunday. Check them out, 1703 East Carson in the South Side.

Secondly, a thank you shout out to the SLS crew from High School, especially Mike Hungerman for hosting the fourth annual Pig Roast. I had a blast catching up with everyone, and playing some of my favorite music...OLD SCHOOL!!! When I got to the house, I almost couldn't believe how perfect it is for the party. The yard was huge, the house is awesome, and I even had my own DJ booth. Good people, good food, good music, and good times. Thanks for thinking of me for the gig, and I can't wait until next year.

Keep in touch everyone. Hit me up...Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.
