[Conniption]

Hmmm I have a lot of strange interests.

Besides a lot of the previously mentioned stuff my main interests are politics and social movements. I watch a lot of C-Span (Book TV). I plan on doing a political thread but I need lots and lots of time because I have a whole shitload of interesting stuff to throw out there for discussion.

I am also really into money, not in the way you would think though. I am very interested in the benefits / drawbacks of the various economic systems, things like distribution of wealth, and I am VERY interested in taxes. You know...whole societies have risen and fallen due to taxation. Hell...the entire BASIS of our Constitution was to eliminate taxation without representation. If fact I was just watching something today about the Great Compression in the 70's...crazy shit. This may seem awfully boring but if you pay attention to these things you really begin to clearly understand all of the things that go on in our society (such as modern racism - which is rampant ).

My other big interest is language, which ties VERY closely into my interest in music. I'm talking about the use of words and how they effect people. I also like seeing how language has evolved and changed such as comparing old poetry to flow structures (rapping). I also like to listen to people talk and pick out characteristics of their personality. A good example would be someone who is a very logical, cranial, type would say something like "I think we should go to the movies today." Whereas someone who is more of the instinctual type would say something like "I feel like going to the movies today." Two VERY different ways of getting the same point across.

In fact, what got me into DJ'ing in the first place was that I was studying script writing and story structure in class. Basically what I have been secretly working on for the last three or four years is to take those story structure concepts (i.e. conflict, resolution, ect) and apply them to EDM. Thats also why I like spinning Hardcore because I can find a greater contrast between happy and dark songs so it's more interesting to work with (plus I like it fast). Thats why I also proclaim that DJing is not an instrument but rather another form of writing. Its like I explained to Rogue...a record is a word, a set is a sentence.

*Quick side note* Even though I am not a math guy I am fascinated by it in that it truly is a universal language (no matter what you speak 1 is still 1 and 2 is still 2 right?) Binary language, of course, is the fruition of that.

So yea...there it is I guess. Oh yea!! Cheese and wine too.
