Monday

Monday is here. Start of another week. And what a weekend it was. As you may or may have not read before, last night I went to a show in LA. The headliner was Skrillex with support from Nadastrom, Dada Life, and Benga. Now, I've been to many shows in my lifetime. And I have even seen Skrillex twice before already. But last night was on a different level. The amount of energy, the amount of good vibes is unexplainable.
We arrived around 7pm and had a little pre game going on in the parking lot until a cop passed by and took that as a sign to walk in. When we arrived to the line to get in, it was pretty long. The faces of confusement of other people who were in the Nokia plaza was beautiful! They kept asking to themselves, and eventually people in line, "Why are you guys all in line? What's this for?" When people would answer, of course it didn't help them out at all since they had no idea who this Skrillex person or band or w.e was going through their mind was. It was quite beautiful seeing all those people in line. And even though I wasn't with it, many people were making the most out of waiting in that long line by high fiving everyone and making lots of noise. Since the beginning it was already starting to look like a good crowd. I was quite excited even thought I could swear my bladder was about to erupt! We finally got in, after about twenty security checks, they were serious about it. I ran up to the bathroom and felt so much better. I got to see about 10 min of Dada Life's set, as always amazing! The rest of the group, being tied up at a security checkpoint, joined us. Benga was up next. All the bass he drops is amazing! And he was dropping songs from everyone! Really good set! It was my first time seeing him so it was great! Halfway through his set, we decided to go to the beer garden and get some drinks. This is always one of the most neglected parts of the festivals when it comes to planning. There were no lines, just a clump of people trying to get to the front. Fortunately, there were no problems, while I was there. We got our drinks and Benga finished his set right after. It was barely 9.30 so we thought we had a good amount of time left. Then I saw Skrillex jump on stage and eveyrone was screaming. Two guys got on the turntables but then left and Skrillex was on. He was going on at 9.30! None of us expected but we ran out the beer garden and into the crowd. His set was magical! The revolving stage was so good, since everyone got a chance to see him very close without having to fight other people to get to the front. I had always wondered why this set up wasn't put into use, since u have a whole 360 degrees of people. This makes the DJ seem even bigger since everyone is surrounding him. He dropped a lot f music from different ep's. It was so great singing along with everyone there. A special little guest appearance by Sirah during Kyoto was a really sick touch added to the magic already being dropped by him. Truly amazing. I do not understand why so many people hate, talk shit, and call Skrillex names. He is truly amazing at what he does. He has such a great stage presence, constantly talking to the crowd and hyping them up.
It seems that what some people are saying is correct. Dj's /producers are the new rock stars. EDM is taking over everything right now, and even if some promoters and club owners may not like it, they sure do love the money that it generates and like everyone, want a piece of the action. It's great to see many new people into it, as long as they do not take it into a bad or negative direction. Today, the beyond wonderland tickets went on sale. And the site that was selling them is a legit, ticketing service with a good amount of years on it. They are use to having many people on their site but obviously this has been a different experience because the site crashed! All the tickets of the first batch have been gone. Keep in mind no line up has been announced yet. Crazy I know!
I'm excited for what the future has to offer. Better and bigger shows, new concepts and ideas, more money invested, it will be beautiful! I hope I can make my jump into the scene very soon. All the love and energy at live events is my ultimate high. Nothing in the world matters during those few hours. I'm excited for the huge event that I'm going to attend. As well as the events I shall be working. I hope one day we can all attend an event together. And share the love. Share the good energy. Share all the good vibes. Share the amazing music. Have a great start of your week. Peace and One Love.

Music Fridays

Forever alone...

That expression is definitely not true. No one is alone, and even less true is that second part. We all have family, friends, maybe a bf/gf for a time. We may feel like we alone, but remember, we are not. I know I feel like that at times, but I remember how my family is there, and my friends as well. I may not have a significant other right now, but I did and I was not alone then. I am happy with where I am in life right now, and I can't wait for the good part to begin. I do not wish to have a gf, but it is nice to have someone to always talk to and have a nice meaningful conversation with them. But I know for a fact, right now I should not get with anyone, for the simple fact that I do not feel ready. Not emotionally, but financially, as well as having time for them. I am happy exploring the world by myself as of now. And even though I may feel alone at times, especially late at night when I am the only one awake, I know that when the sun comes up, all my people will be there for me. Just remember, you are NOT alone. There will always be someone there. Relax, have patience, and enjoy the ride. Have a great night and start of the weekend. Peace and One Love.

Trust me when I say...

..Patience is a very very important thing to have. Good things will come to those who wait.
...I have come to realize that everything that I have done, happened for a reason and helped me to become who I am now. So no, I do not regret anything.
...One day, everything will be different, whether you like it or not, so make it into something positive so you do like it.
... You do not need a ton of friends. You do not need to be in a relationship. So if either one is being a negative influence on your life, let it go. Something better will come.
...Don't worry about what people say, you will NOT be able to control what everyone thinks. So why not be happy? They going to talk anyway.
..There will always be people who will NEVER be happy with what you do. To those people, a big FUCK YOU and do whatever you want. Don't let them phase you.
...Everything will be ok in the end. If it is not ok, it is not the end.

Dubstp Thursdays!

I am very quite aware that Skrillex will not be at Coachella this year, but I am going to see him on Sunday!!!!!!!!! And as you can tell I am quite excited! I know it is going to be a great time! I really need to get a camera or an iPhone to take great pics of the events. Soon I hope =] have a great day! Enjoy.

Mind

One of the most important things, in my opinion, is knowing how to control your own mind. Yes we are the one's who choose what we are going to think, but can we really calm our thoughts at will? I know it is extremely difficult for me, and I blame my insomnia for that. But slowly, I am learning how to control it through a bit of meditation and yoga. I really enjoy these two practices and have gotten better at it. I love being able to disconnect from the entire world, and focusing on what is right in front of me. While building strenght and burning some calories as well. I believe that everyone should give it a try, see if you enjoy it. I know I was always curious about it but not until recently, I actually did it. I know a lot of people "do" yoga, but I don't believe they really connect themselves with it like it is intented to. I want to one day, spend a couple of months in China, and study these arts. Mediation and yoga, with true masters of them. I truly believe it is a very positive practice. Look up some videos on YouTube. There are plenty, and just practice. No one judges how "good" you are or are not. The important thing is that you feel good about yourself. Have a great week. Namaste. Peace and One Love.

Music Fridays!

Friday! for some strange reason, I feel like the weekend comes faster and faster. Which means the weeks go by really fast, as well as the months! which is bad but I guess I got to do something to take advantage of it. I am excited for this year, and although some people that I really wanted to go to the festivals with me aren't, but I hope they can attend the next one. It's Friday!!! wooooo! just another day to me haha. I hope you have a great one, as always remain safe, be careful. Most importantly, do not drive under the influence please. Call for a cab, a friend, or just wait it out. We don't need anymore people losing their lives. Oh and another thing, please spread the Love around. Say hi to a stranger and see how that feels after. You never know, you might have just brightened up some one's day =]
Take care, be safe, Peace and One Love

Music. took a while.

I truly apologize for being late. But I want to do something a little different for the music days. As you may know, or not, I am going to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. So I will try to put new music from the artists and bands that will be there. But not only artists that I already know, but random artists that I might not know as much but I will give a listen to as well. I am excited for this. This week has been great and it will only get better, everyone have a great start of your weekend. Peace and One Love

True Love.

First off, I just want to thank God and the universe for blessing me with two great, hard working parents. I can not even begin to explain how lucky I am to have the parents that I do. They show an unconditional love towards me and my brother that compares to no other. We were never rich or anything close to it, but I never had to starve because of no food. And somehow, we always got what we wanted for Christmas and birthdays. I can not begin to express how happy I am that I met this two great individuals and got to spend my life with them. No matter what, I plan to keep them in my life always, no matter the career, the city, or the life I have later on in life. I want to make money, not for my own personal luxuries, but to provide for them many things that I know they wished they had. As well as get them to stop working because I know they have worked for so many years and never complaining about it, all to bring food to the table as well as a roof. I admire and respect the people that grew up with one or none of their parents. I am sure it made you a stronger individual, and are doing great. I admire your courage and admit that I don't know if I would have been able to do that. I also have so much admiration, for the people who have lost a parent(s). I honestly do not know what I would do if that was to happen to me. The feeling of emptiness and nothing in the world can fill the void, its just indescribable. I had a horrible dream. It was a normal day, nothing too exciting. But I "remembered" that one of my parents had passed. It was such a horrible feeling but something told me that it was going to be ok. And to not be sad because they were in a better place now. But for some strange feeling, I knew something was not right, that it couldn't have been like that. And that it was a dream. I'm usually good at picking up that it is a dream and not real life, but this dream was extremely difficult for me to detect that, and I actually woke up crying. Horrible feeling but I was glad to be fully awake and decided to text my parent and tell them good morning as well as and I love you. I admit that I could be more loving towards them I plan on showing it more. I really just wish the best for them, and I know one day I will be able to get them whatever their heart desires. As well as my brother and close family and friends. Every person that I have met has had an impact, even if it is a small one, and has shaped me into what I am today. Hopefully everyone had a great weekend, and have a great week as well. Remember, we do not know when people are going to go, and when they do, we never get a chance to talk to them again. Less fighting and more loving. Everyone be safe. Peace and One Love.

Those nights.

it is hard to remain focus and motivated even through the hard times. But I put all my faith that everything will be okay at the end. I know things will only get better. And I will focus on having fun right this second, as well as take every opportunity that can benefit me in the future. It is hard as well to stick to a plan when there is a good reason to go a different way. But that way hasn't worked so far, so I want to prove to myself that I can stick to this, and not have to worry about one more thing. Because something like that, shouldn't be a burden or distraction but support and happiness. So for now we stay focused, and will accomplish this goal alone but with the company of great people who will always be there.

........

let me begin by saying, that I am holding back so much from screaming and jumping of joy. Remaining composed right now is very difficult because of the excitement flowing through my body. I have so many things I want to say as well, but I have to organize it all so that I don't jump from thing to thing and back to same thing. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I AM SO EXCITED!!!! In case you don't know already, the Coachella Line up has been announced! AND IT IS AMAZING! So I do not want to just write every single artist that is here so I will post up the poster on here so you can see for your self. But I really loved the line-up. Let's just say that I have seen alot of artists during my few years of attending concerts, raves, festivals, and working at them as well. So it is kind of hard to go somewhere, and not have already seen the artists at least once. Not that I would mind, but this year, the promoters have gotten many of the artists that I have not seen yet, to play at this year's festival! It is great for me, although I am already hearing bad talk about from some people, I can careless. I go to hear people I like, and I intend to do just that. I know that sometime during the festival, I will walk around alone, so if you are there and see me, say hi :) Part of the reason that I loved it so much last year, was because we camped there. Now at first, it did not sound like a good time to me. It is so hot, and there is no actual flushing toilets, and you shower in trailers. But the portables were cleaned every few hours, and not once did I walk in and it was dirty or even smelled bad. The showers had very long lines, but if you wait a bit, they die down or if u go during the time the festival is going on, they are completely empty. You meet so many people and make friends with all your neighbors. People throw parties and have huge sports games as well. It is amazing because everyone is there to celebrate in unison the creation of love and music. One of a kind experience. Thousands of people, all free and spiritually together, no one can ever take that away from you. Everyone just lets loose, and you worry about only having fun. That weekend, you forget about the outside world, and let your cares go away. If you never experienced anything like that, you really should think about doing it sometime. In my opinion, it is well worth the $300 ticket you pay. It may seem a little steep but it is 3 days, and so many artists. You may not know any of the artists during a time of the day, but that is the best part of the festival. Discovering new music. Because remember, if they are at Coachella, obviously they have to be good. Tickets will probably sell out fast, so get yours as soon as possible to avoid having to pay twice or even three times as much. I can not explain the amazing feeling I have right now. It is sort of like a natural high, and I love it. And once again, it is for the love of Music< 3  Have a great week, and hope to see you there in April. Peace and One Love.

p.s. tickets on sale 10am pst

Faith

remember, when you take a little leap of faith for yourself to live your dreams & speak from your truth & really go after what is is that you really want, who it is that you really are, the Universe will take a huge leap of faith for you. Go ahead and venture as yourself. Miracles will occur. Believe in yourself, do it now, and make yourself proud.

Music Fridays!

Holy fucking shit, it is already the first Friday of the year! Let's make this a great one just like every other day. Today has been a great day, Yoga, cleaning, soccer. It's only going to get better! I want to wish everyone a great day, and safe night. As always, know your surroundings and get home safe. Left you some afrojack because it's that type of day. Take care. Peace and One Love.

& its all for the love of music

Every year, there are a lot of music festivals around my area. They range from rap, to rock, to electronic, to even country music. Having the job that I have, I have been able to go to these festivals. Although, sometimes I do not have a desired post, but I am still able to converse with the attendees and share a little bit of the excitement for live music. Last year was a big year for me in the Live music festivals area. I attended my first Coachella, and have been hooked for life. I was not able to attend EDC but got to make it out to Audiotistic. The year has barely started but I have in my possession (not literally because they still need to be mailed out) two tickets to great event. The first is the Skrillex show in LA. I am beyond stoked to see him a third time and witness his amazing power and love to share his music skills with us. I am also going with about the only person who is always down to go to these type of things and it's always a great time with him. The second ticket I bought, which just went on sale at noon today, is my EDC ticket!!! I'm not going to lie, I am a little scared since I put it on my credit card but everything has been working out so far and the concert season is going to start soon so I should have extra money. I am beyond stoked for this huge electronic festival. The company that I work for always does this festival, and I could have gone, worked, and been there, but there is always a risk that I would be stuck on a bad post and not enjoy the festival. I am happy, and there shall be no regrets. In about two to three weeks, Coachella tickets go on sale and you know I am getting one of those as well! Music is life in my mind. I know I will probably get told a lot by people that it was a dumb mistake, that I should not spend my money on these things, but money comes and goes. If i wouldn't have spent it on this, I would have spent it on something else. This experience, the memories I will have from them, no one can ever replace, or take them from me. I don't care what people say or think, When I am there, I know for a fact I will not be regretting this decision. Hearing all the love music, seeing all the love we all have and sharing it, well, that is just indescribable. I believe, unless you have gone and experienced one yourself, you can not really judge or say anything about them. Even some co workers who I hear talking shit on the festival goers, think they know because we "see it all", but they don't know shit. It is a different view when you are on the other side of the barricade. No worries in the world, nothing but love. The only people that can tell me it's not worth it, is the one who go to them as much as I do. I am not saying I am going to do this for the rest of my life, and spend all my money on them. I plan on playing a different role later in the future, and that is continue my love for it, and share with the world by being part of the people who make them happen. But till then, we are here now and that is where I have chosen to be. We only live once, and we are only this age once as well. Fuck it, let people talk and think whatever they want. It doesn't affect my decision. I have done it, and they haven't. I will be there and they will not. I will be happy, and well, I can't say if they will or won't be. That is up to the decisions they make. Have a great day. Peace and One Love.
