I hate everything!


You know what? FUCK EVERYTHING! Life's just so fucking complicated and frustrating that it's just so fucking tedious just to wake up each day and to stand tall to "deal with it". FUCKING EVERYTHING. FUCK FUCK FUCK! I'm on the verge of a nuclear fallout. That I can tell. How? When? Why? Soon enough. Finger's on the detonation button. This is a personal rant and it's not meant or targetted at anyone or anything. None of anyone's fucking business. No one cares. Don't need anyone's fucking compassion or understanding either. So there. Have a nice rosy life! FUCK EVERY-FUCKING-THING!

ARRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Updates

As usual, not much of a Sunday left after waking up from a comatose. Like seriously... what the fuck? Is this called quality of life? I'm getting quite edgy and more impatient with each passing week. I only pretend I'm ok, but I'm not. Really. It's a matter of time before I drop the masquerade. Anyway... I woke up with this tune running around my head. Damn, they don't write songs like that anymore. Classic 70s adult-contemporary rock (porn music) at it's best! In today's standard, it's sorrow bar music... hahahahaha! Ooopps!

I've been having great fun the past few months exploring and dabbling into the often misunderstood House genre. This was pretty fun to do, nonetheless. It'll be appearing in the next upcoming Lush 99.5FM House Party Mix in August but for those that have an open-preference for music, here's a preview.

Barsounds @ eM By The River with Lunus

As mentioned in the previous post... DJ Lunus will be dishing out his repetoire of bar sounds every Saturday at our bar. He'll be joined by saxophonist Marc Anthony (not in relation with J'Lo). Both of them played for the first time together yesterday... and I certainly look forward to many more weekends to come! For those who have yet been initialized in the growing bar culture and sounds, stop acting like you know and...

Sedated Saturday!

Someone should make a ruling that people with no sense of rhythm should steer clear of the dancefloor. No offence but it's hard not to cry out in laughing fit when you have two people with two left feet each; trying to keep up with the tempo of the music and with their bodies in spasms. Secondly, what's the point being of coming to a club and then asking if the music can be turned down because you can't hear your friends chatting? Some people are just so hilariously contridicting without them actually knowing how fucking stupid they sound! No offence but yah, but no, but yah, but no... WTF?

As for the night, as expected. Nothing much to talk about besides the free public comedians. Nice weather. Probably spend the entire Sunday sleeping... as fucking usual. Getting damn sick of routines. Need a good proper gig to get back that drive and inspiration. Whatfuckever!

Welcome onboard, one of my long-time mates Lunus, who played at several Progressions a while back. He will be fronting the decks at eM By The River every Saturday from 10pm with his selection of Bar Sounds together with saxophonist Marc Anthony. Another beer, guys? On Fridays, we have DJ Robbie pairing up with Cuban musicians Enrique (synths) and Lorraine (flute). It's all good thus far. Musically engaging, personally for me, that is.



And to answer the question that was raised during a brief discussion over beer... "Why Norah Jones don't know why she didn't come and she feels as empty as a drum?"

Coz either she's too loose or whoever she's with has a small pecker. Hahaha! I know, lame. It's Sunday and I'm fucking tired. So sue me!

As for the question that was put to me a few days ago. Do I have a studio? What the fuck for? Make music? Been there, done it. I rather make "whoopee".

Super mega-yawnage!

It's Saturday and that can only mean one thing...

... same old routine again, week after week!
It's getting so tedious that's no longer even funny.
Superly pretentious and goddamn farking boring!
No bloody inspiration at all to even DJ properly.
Welcome to the lost world!

HU-FUCKING-RAY!
*bored like phuck!*

He came and he conquered... proper!


Thank you John (of Fox Knox Five) for a brilliant night! One of the best nights we've had! Brilliant mash-ups... super funked-up. Bob Marley's "Could This Be Loved"... OMFG! Totally tripped out! Cheers for the really refreshing stuff! Seeya soon, dude...

Going nowhere?


I'm sure many relate to this one. Frustrating isn't it. Then again, that's how life is sometimes. It's made up of either chances or choices. I could bitch on but it's Friday... I'll save it for another day. Morever, I'm not really in any mood for anything. Soundtrack of my life for today? That would be Linkin Park's "Numb". Or should it be just... plain DULL?

Bored Phucked!


Self-explanatory as above. Posting this out of being bored-out-of-my-skull and the lack of everything else decent. My battery cells ran flat eons ago. No inspiration. Lost the foresight. Very lethagic. Not in a fantastically-good mood either. Just being diplomatic. One of those goddamn days again, I guess. What to do? Life. It always gets to you every now and then. Maybe I need a better reason to wake up each day? Just maybe. Or maybe something else? Personally, I don't know... can't wait for the day / week / month to end. Can't wait till my next little secret getaway.

Idiot Incorported

I was so inspired today to pick up the marker pen and doodle again. Based on a real-life encounter. Don't be too paranoid... just taking a dig at life and not at anyone in particular.

Damn ugly drawing, isn't it? How I won in those art competitions when I was a kid is really beyond me. Maybe the other kids drew far uglier then I did. Maybe my dad bribed the judges.



And this is going out also to the fucking stadium and whoever's the DJ before each S-League soccer match. Buy some new CDs! It's always the same old crap... Bon Jovi's pussy-rock anthem "It's My Life", Shakira or some fucking monolingual reggaeton.

"It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that swing!"

Time After Time

Mega-yawnage!


Hmmm... seems like fun.
Then again, who can blame the dog?
Different day, same sheep!



Countdown... have begun.
And please, don't be a cock...
No song request or shuffling this Friday!

Idiots rule the world, you know?

As of late, there seems to be more and more morons around with their idiotic idealogies. I mean seriously, some people really lack basic common sense. And the rest of us are suppose to humour you? Oh come on! If I don't be RUDE and tell you outright that you're a freaking retard, you'll never get it. I'm actually doing a favour, if you think about it. So you should thank me instead... idiot!

Update on a Sunday? Why not...

First of all... WHAT THE FUCK?!!

7am on a fucking Sunday, some bloody primary school conducts their Sports Days at the nearby stadium... AGAIN! You've got to be fucking kidding me! Seriously, the point being? Yeah so what if you're the fastest runner? So bloody what? Yah, GREEN HOUSE is the champion house this year. So? Not that it's ever going to amount to anything when all you fuckwads grow up. And what's the deal with using a starter gun in races anyway? Someday, due to some faulty ammunition, I hope some idiot gets his hand blown off.



Managed to finally to get sleep around noon after taking some flu tablets (runny nose and fever). Thanks a lot, you inconsiderate muthafucking civil servants! I'm so beat and on my only rest day of the week, you just had to do your fucking insignificant Sports Day... which to me is equally redundant as the yearly nothing-much-different National Day Parade and Chingay Procession.

Ended waking up in the late evening around 8pm. Again, there goes my off-day. I was supposed to attend the wedding reception of a colleague. Completely slept through the alarm clock as well as 8 missed calls. With not much time for leisure each week, it's beginning to get on my nerves. Then again, I should just shut the fuck up. Afterall, I chose this industry to be in. C'est fucking La Vie!


********************

And on the topic of bloody hell, here's one that everyone can relate to... CHEAPSKATE FREELOADING BASTARDS! Again last night, the same bunch of so called "beautiful" foreign MALE twats came and ask me if I could score them some free drinks since our ex-PR manager is no longer around. Go buy your own fucking drinks, you cheap fucks! If our local crowd on Friday can have the CLASS, DIGNITY and WILLINGNESS to chalk up liquor bottle as well as loose drink sales, why can't you so-called imported talents as well? Oh, I forgot... you're poor.

Control your fucking hormones and kindly please stop fucking, kissing, petting or blowjobbing in the toilets. Get a fucking room! Wait... I remembered... you're a cheapo.



Personally, I'm glad that the party's novelty is finally wearing thin... as I expected months ago. Anyway, I don't care much if any of "them" happen to read this. They can be offended for all I care. Not their money (as if they had any in the first place) or business is any good. By the way, I don't make the stereotype with regards to "these" people... I only state the reality. And fact of the matter is that, they'll never return the favour as a PAYING CUSTOMER or with any loyalty. Please kindly look up "cheapskate" in the dictionary for further definitions.




Scoreline for July thus far...
LOCAL 1 - FOREIGN O

********************

Moving on, a very interesting debut party this coming Friday by the groovy guys at Rightclicka. For those who like their music away from the usual tried-and-tested genres (pronounced as "john-rays") as well as as coolcats who dig funk and groovy tunes... catch the DJ set of Washingston's reknowned Fox Knox Five. This will be the first of many more to come. I'm certainly looking forward to it. Now where's my afro?

Dazed Out!



Nice one last night. On behalf of the DJs Benjamin and Fred-E, thank you to each and everyone of you for the valuable support and for cheering us on whenever a familiar tune comes on. It was also great to see to the many familiar faces that I've not seen for a goddamn long while as well as the new ones who came up to say "hi".

But what was most pleasant for me was that some punters actually identified the "newer" and less staple-sounding tunes like;

1. Jonas Steur feat. Jennifer Rene - Fall To Pieces
2. Alex Bartlett feat. Anthya - Touch The Sun
3. Organ Nielson - Beat Design

Personally, these three alongside a handful of current releases in the genre stands out amongst the basket of stale bread. Technicalities aside, we all had fun one way or the other and it felt like home once again. Till the next one in August...

p/s Fred, you killed me with the Greg Downey mix of "Heaven Scent". Spot on classic!

Burnt fingerz!


If you see me in a crumpled shirt today or any other day for that matter, please don't ask why. I hate ironing! It's so bloody frustrating and it's really a stupid task! Tried ironing a shirt today and I ended up scalding my fingers. Hold one end to iron, the other side end up being creased again. It's like a never ending task. I swear God, besides making us fart, created the chore of ironing for His own personal entertainment.

I wish I got a "maria" to do all these irritating chores for me! Hahaha!

One of those days!


I'm sure everyone gets it every now and then, when you just have that nagging feeling that your life is in an endless loop of monotony. Today is one of those bloody days. Different day, same shit. Viciously pointless to a certain extent. Then again, I shouldn't fret. I guess it happens to EVERYONE one point or the other. Not once but many times at quite regular frequencies. So what shall I do today? I know, I'll sit by the river... again! Hahaha!

And to the person that phone texted me last night, "why cannot request song?"...

Because I don't have buttons and a coin slot on my face!

Oh, and some people really need to grow the f**k up and get a freaking life!
