how many of you have thought about hanging it up???

im in the middle of one of those moods right now...

moved to s. florida months ago and just feel like it isnt going to happen here. was rocking it regularly in pa. and now it just seems like a waste of time and money.

such a shame. music IS my greatest passion. but its soooooo freekin discouraging right now.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

it usually happens to me to during that time of the day.
I think of letting go everyday.
somehow I just cant...
and quit?you will feal like a quiter.
you will feel like you just wasted so much money effort and time.

I was djing profecionaly in my country witout ever being a bedroom dj.
Imagine been given a everyday job to dj at in front of 30-200 people and not knowing any
of the basics. luckilly a dj friend helped me out and trust me once you are out there you get your skills up .there is no room for error. you turn blue in the idea of the slitest hick-up.
Ever since my parents split up and I moved to the states I have djed in my bedroom only
and my skills got better but it just feels so fucking pointless when there is no feedback.
whats the point? there is nobody there nobody will ever know ,you dont even know if that track will work or not . you just feel all lonelly and miserable even if you get shivers out of the shit you are pulling off.
I dont have pipe dreams of becoming a bigstar dj
ALL I WANT IS A GIG.
I m thinking of getting into the mobile thing ... by the way. Shit , at least I will have fun with other people
even if I cant really play prog/ tech house/ minimal techno.

If what you miss the most is interaction with other people, maybe you could try hosting your own parties and events?
