Unhappy depressed

i'm so bummed.

i just lost my favorite record of all time. i had bid on it on ebay, and was fully expceting to win the auction. I knew that some little bastard would come bid in the last 10 seconds just like every auction on ebay. so i calculated the time it would be till it was over.

it ended at 4:45 on sunday.

i went to a rave this weekend, and came home and slept on sunday till 3pm. i got up and came to work to bid on the record.

to my horror, it was already OVER!

the auction was listed in EDT, instead of PST where i am, causing the auction to end a full 3 hours earlier than i had thought. and of course, 10 seconds before it was over, someone came along and outbid me by 50 friggin cents. i would have paid $100 for this record!

now, i am so depressed, and it just won't go away. i can't stop thinking about this damn record. i doubt i will ever find it again. i am considering giving up my whole obsession with trance and DJing, and just buy some mutual funds or something.

i know that no one can help me(unless you have the vinyl), but i just wanted to vent..

Just listen to some of yer fav tracks to raise your spirits.

yeah.. i just listen to the mp3 and think about how i will never be able to play it for anyone at a party, and change their lives like mine was changed..

oh well.. life drags on.

it just started hailing here.. the walk home should be nice.

Not to be a dick or anything, but you should have set your reserve at $100 if you were willing to pay that much. To ensure the winning bid.


Posted by JohnSmith on Apr-24-2002 00:05:

i thought about it. but i didn't want people to know it was that valubale. although i guess they can't see my bid.

oh well.

i just got fired from my job too, so i can't afford decks anyway.

i will be committing suicide tonite most likely.

oh wait, no, i don't have the balls.. darn.

i'm laffing at you but in a good way


Posted by JohnSmith on Apr-24-2002 00:26:

yeah fuck you too.


Posted by jeronemango on Apr-24-2002 01:04:

i might be able to get you a copy of the original+signum remix. my friend has it and he doesnt mix anymore.

gonna take a while tho as im not living in that state anymore..

i have a copy of it as well and its not one of my fav tracks so if u have something to swap for it let me know.got to be damm good tho.


Posted by tranceDJ on Apr-24-2002 01:19:

Look on the bright side...once you get decks also get a cd player and then just play a cd-r of it. I love that track too, a classic


Posted by Devbert on Apr-24-2002 01:43:

Hey Jeronemango, I'd be willing to buy it off you for a nice price or maybe a swap. Would you be willing to sell it?

bahahhahaahah.


man, that is really irrelevant shit. just be glad your head isn't caved in by a cement block or you get t-boned by a semi and go flying out your K car after smoking a pile (happened to my friend's best friend from Vancouver a few weeks ago).

ive got it on 12" , $2000


Posted by dj_cuba on Apr-24-2002 12:24:

Johnsmith, I don't think that record is particually rare, I went to a second hand record shop recently and they had both cds there. I'm not sure how rare the vinyl is but it's funny you would pay $100 for it when you can get it for 4.32 here...

Posted by JohnSmith on Apr-24-2002 13:58:

it does not say on that site what mix it is. i think it is the '99

*sigh* 27

YAY!!!

I didn't get fired!
I accidentally overwrote a company database last night. then, I got this email from my boss, and started cleaning out my desk:

This is completely unacceptable if we lose data. I know you mentioned the network problems you are having but that is no excuse for sloppiness! I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed and angry I am over this if we have indeed lost information and I am not even the one who has been entering information into here. Do you realize that Gerry and her team have been pouring through CRM standardizing all client data and that we have 3 sales people who track their every breath with this system?

i totally thought he was gonna fire me. but he didn't. i still think i deserved it.

AND i got my record. well, i think so anyway.

it's from another label, and it has, all 3 mixes of the gamemaster on it, and "under the red sea"

there was a buy it now option, so i just bought the damn thing for 25 pounds. I hope it arrives..

so.. i should be happy now..

why do i still feel sad?

OOPS, so you were the one that bid that high....

just joking, i remember seeing that one on ebay some time ago...dood keep checking back, rare vinyls/cd's pop up ALL the time, and sometimes end up being good prices cos people sometimes dont check at all for weeks

>JM<


Posted by JohnSmith on Apr-24-2002 20:08:

yah, i know.. i could have had the original one for about 16.

as it is, i was so upset i got confused on the timezone thing, that i saw the buy it now option on a different record, and just bought it.

25 pounds didn't seem like much.. but the guy is charging me 13 euros to ship it. i think he is ripping me off there.

all in all.. $84 canadian for that 1 record. oh well, it's worth it.

i probably could have bid cheaper for it, but didn't want to risk it.
