It was raining. I was late, of course, totally read the paper wrong.. class started at 10 not 11. Everything was pointing towards, you will have a fuct day.
I arrive at Rehab around 10:32, pretty fucking late, but luckily I wasn't the latest one. Hapa and this other chick was waiting on 2 other people.
My instructor is the DJ HAPA. He's probably one of the coolest mother fuckers I've ever met in my life. He is so chill, down to earth, has crazy skills, basically just oozes siiiiickness.
He kicked off the day talking about himself and then asking us what our DJ names are cause thats what we're going to go by for now on. I'm still working on what it should be. He said DJ name is your alter ego, I already have so many I just don't know which direction I want to go with. I want to combine them all, but I need to figure out a name that sums it all up. Suggestions are welcome.
We basically learned the history of DJing. I'll probably drop some knowledge on you in daily conversation sometime. We learned basic music theory, like beats, bars, phrases. I guess DJing is like playing a percussion instrument. Then, we concluded the day with learning basic scratching skills.
Around 1:30ish, Hapa was like I'm hungry and since the class only consisted of 4 people he decided to take us to lunch. I thought that was pretty cool, cause we were able to talk to him and ask him a bunch of questions. He told us stories about his DJing around the world to when he would DJ his parties when he was at UCLA.
Overall, pretty fuckin amazing day. Earlier in the day he asked us all what our "day" jobs were, I told him I was a graphic designer. When I was leaving, he asked me what kind of stuff I designed and he asked me what my style was. I said I would bring my book in, too bad I'm still working on it. But how fresh would tht be, if I got design something for him to wear.. It inspired me to work on my side project kpeace:the purpose a little more.
on a side note: what does it mean when your stomach feels like it's on fire? like burning because your stomach acids is floating outside of your stomach? haha
