Just realised that it’s been a year I have been running this online journal. Thanks for checking back often, it means that you are interested in what’s going on in my life and I appreciate it.

In Montreal, the hot weather is here at last although this morning the sky is grey and the rain is falling like mad.

My weeks seem to get busier and busier. Had a guest stay over at my house and I have been picking his brains on music related matters. I just hope to learn from his mistakes and experiences.

My new DJ residency is going great but the smoke in clubs is seriously starting to become a major annoyance.

What a busy DJ week, I have had…

Thursday at the Buddha Bar

Friday at the Globe Restaurant

Saturday at Rialto

The last gig had aboout 600 people all going crazy to the music. At last, things ARE happening!

At least England preceeded them. A sad day today.

Just as you can be either pregnant or not (there’s no half pregnant or maybe not pregnant), the same goes with honesty. Me, you and everyone else are either honest or not honest.

That’s the bottom-line. Sad but true. Have fun trying to prove me wrong.

From now on, everyday, I will post something that I have realized in life. I am almost 25 and feel that I have been around long enough for anyone to benefit from my bottom-lines.

Here’s the first in many to come…

He who never asks never receives.

But there’s a line between nagging and making sure that your requests are heard.

I expected it. Well done for them

Ever notice how people are busier and busier everyday? And all this at the risk of putting their life, family and friends on hold. The messed up thing is that, all these elements are the most crucial to them and they think that in their busy-ness (spelling? It can’t be business!), they are working hard to free time to one day enjoy them.

I am guilty of this and so are you dear reader!

The problem is that when things are put on hold for too long, they disappear. After all, if you are on the phone and someone (especially customer service reps) put you on hold for long, what are you gonna do? Right, hang up and look elsewhere for whatever you were expecting to get from that call

The same in life… at least that’s my take

I don’t wanna wake up someday and hear the silence on the other end of the phone because everything and everyone I had put on hold hanged up on me… Imagine if God had to hang up on me, or you?

I better hang up this conversation and email people I have not spoken to in a long time. My only problem is that I lost all my adress book and I can’t get their emails unless they write to me which they are less likely to do because I have them on hold!

Twisted, huh?
