Lol, yup, i probably am , and im proud of the title! Too bad they dont sell anything good at that dollar store that they just built. Damn stupid entrepenuers! WE NEED A WAL-MART! NOT A DOLLAR GENERAL!

On the other side...

Anybody know where i could get the best vinyls? Theres no place within 50 miles of here that sells them. I hate this state, theirs nothing good.

PS: I need vinyls with anything by DJ Mangoo or Alice Deejay on them. Along with some Real McCoy.

Lol, yea, im TAG(Talented and Gifted). Im also gifted with computers. In 1st grade, while the teachers were teaching students to use the mouse, i was playing Sim City 2000. Im getting an F in Language Arts though, only because i dont do my homework very much. I had better go downstairs and do that before my mom gets home. Stupid parents banned me from the computer for the rest of the week, so im not even supposed to be posting right now. But who gives a shit.

I can say shit right?

I'd say just stick with it man. Granted you're a bit younger, and I don't know how much you'll be interested in a few years just because you tend to change so much. I remember even though I bought my own set of shite tables way back when my parents thought it was just a fad, but now that they've finally seen how much it means to me and just how much I like it, they're actually pretty supportive of it.

So I say buy your own tables by yourself, save up if you have to, that way they have no say over it.

Yea, thats true, and i AM going to stick to it. I mean, i asked the teacher that usually is in charge of the student council and stuff like that if there were plans to hire a DJ ever again. She said no, and asked why, and if i was planning to do it. And she even asked my price . You know, i allways thought of DJing to be a hobby in which you can just give people the music without having them to pay you for it. I dont see why people usually expect to get paid for DJing. If your doing it for just money, then you dont have what it takes to be a DJ. If you charge money to help keep some spare change in your pocket, then its completely understandable.

You need to understand something. You can love something, and have it be your profession too. You can't be a free dj, unless you have lots and lots of disposable income. You need to pay for equipment, VINYL (a constand money 'pit' )... etc..

Gifted with computers? Since computers are artificial, I don't think you can be directly gifted with computers. Its more a combination of other things. You can be gifted with art, or athletics, but computers.. no.
Being 'good' with computers takes two things :
1. Knowing where shit is (knowledge), and
2. Knowing where shit will be.. (intuition)

when i was in grade 7 i was in india, and i knew alot about computers back then. in my computer class, i used to teach my teacher how to use the computer. in other words, it was the student teaching the teacher.
