Music Makes the World Go Round
I've been listening to a lot of really, REALLY old trance anthems lately because it makes me nostalgic for the days when I was just a baby party kid. lol. I seriously love these oldies but goodies.

Oh man, the show last night was fucking amazing!!! Holy shit, I do have to say that when I saw Sphongle/Hullcinogine in Chicago and at Midwest Freakfest, it DID NOT sound like that. The progressive set Sphongle spun was amazing but I've been all about progressive for the past couple of months and I'm finding myself spending less and less time in the psytrance rooms and more and more time in the progressive rooms. Now if only I could find some good dubstep in Tokyo...my ears have been itching to hear a good, UK DJ spin dubstep.

I'm also happy because I spent all night and all day today with my man. He makes me feel so incredible. His energy is just contagious. Conor even commented on how Masa's vibes just rub off on everyone around him. He's really an amazing person. The more I talk to him and hear about the things he's done in his life and the places he's been it just astounds me. I'm so, so, so in love with him. There were a few times when I was close to telling him when we were in those moments but they were the kind of moments that silence says so much more than words could ever say. Whenever I ask myself if he loves me out of paranoia, I realize that's all it is, paranoia. We love each other or we wouldn't have those amazing moments together. I just feel so happy to have met a man who fits me so well. We have some problems with the language barrier but the fact we get past that makes our relationship even more meaningful.

He's excited because he the info for the eclipse party on Eastern Island just came out and he's making plans to go. I really want to go but it's so expensive. It's $2000 round trip and the party deposit is $500! It's going to be a fucking amazing party though, I'm sure of that. It's the only time in our lives when we can seen a solar eclipse on Eastern Island so that means this party is going to be stellar. I'm seriously thinking about going to this because of how rare of an occasion and I've ALWAYS wanted to visit Easter Island!
I'll have to scrounge up the money to go to Easter Island but even if Masa and I do break up before the party I'd still fucking go to that party by myself because it would be an amazing experience. And if we're still together, well, that would be another amazing experience within itself.
I was going to go to the eclipse party near Okinawa this year but I couldn't get the time off work. I'm still REALLY PISSED about that. I'm toying with the idea of going for a day...like flying out of Tokyo right after work on Saturday, staying Sunday and flying back on Monday. The party is 9 days and I'll miss the actual eclipse but I just want to see it, even if it is for a day. Masa says that eclipse parties are the best parties and he's old skool so I believe him.


Damn, this music really is my life. I'm happy I have a man in my life who's life is also this music. It's more than music, it's a lifestyle. I've been trying to think of ways to make a career out of doing this and I think I'm going to contact some of my professors and ask them how I can publish some academic research on it because I know first hand what's going on in a lot of different scenes and I'll write about it unlike a lot of people who won't. I'm also going to contact the fashion lady again and ask her if there's a rave fashion nitch in the academic world. I got the idea because I saw some white girl who was NOT DRESSED AT ALL like she belonged at the party snapping tons of pictures of Sphongle during his set. She seemed like she was there to scope it out rather than be part of it and it looked like she probably isn't in the scene because she didn't blend in at all. If someone is poking around from the outside and they were sent to cover the event, an insider like me could get A LOT more information and photographs that tell what's actually going on. I read an article about some guy who went to a hipster party who's not a hipster (Jake recommended it) and he ended up looking like idiot because he knows nothing about the hipster scene (not that I blame him for not knowing anything. That scene is regurgitated, consumer consumed garbage. And their music SUCKS). I just need to use the fact that I AM a party princess to make a career out of it.

I'll talk more about the show later. I started rambling and I like what I wrote so I'm not going to delete it.

All I needed was some good music and some good loving to put me back in a good mood.

It's all good :)

I don't stay any where long enough to get established. I was becoming well known in Chicago because I was a regular fire spinner so I always got to work parties and that was fun. It sucks that I can't work parties here because of the politics (like my hair, skin and eye color). It's really taken a lot of fun out of fire spinning. I haven't touched my shit in weeks.

I sort of want to be a spy. Pop in, get some pictures, enjoy the party and then do a write up and report back to someone about what's happen and get my check for doing what I do best. If only I was THAT COOL.

Yay Dubstep! I actually went out to the only Dubstep monthly here in Houston last night, and it was actually pretty fucking awesome, but crowded and the crowed was not like Austin (there were a lot of fratty/bro type guys there), and they could have upped the mids a bit more (seemed a bit like the bass was blotting out everything else). Brit has never even heard Dubstep before, and she loved it. Too bad we came with her stupid emo hipster friends, so we didn't stay as long, and got their late anyways. I want to check out the Austin night, which is called Mad Classy. I also found out there's an awesome DNB night too.

I need to find a good dubstep night around here. There were a lot of good dubstep acts in Chicago so there's GOTTA be some good stuff happening in Tokyo!

You bet your ass I'm going. I'm totally going to save for it. I need to get the website link from Masa so if something stupid happens I'll have the information and I won't have to depend on him.

Ok, this is THE THIRD time I've tired to type this. My computer likes to move back or forward a page randomly so I switched to notepad so I could get this through to you.
So Masa knows his shit when it comes to parties because he's fucking old skool. He's a self proclaimed "eclipse chaser" and he's been going to eclipse parties all over the world for the past 7 years. He knows what he's talking about so I trust any information that comes from him.
I really want to go to the Easter Island party and I'm looking for a 2nd job so I can afford to go. And YOU'RE coming with me. So start saving now because I think the tickets are really limited and you can't buy them at the door. It'll be an incredible adventure!

I've just been keeping with the usual's of life at the current time. My weeks usually consist of going to U.C for my Philo. degree, working, and teaching my weapons classes. So I've been pretty chill for the most part. Too bad your not back in Cincy for Bassfest going on this weekend :p http://www.bassfest2009.com/
