Originally posted by Clovis Actually I do not have a sick job right now, I'm only 23. In a few years I hope to be doing mostly that minus the bad music and exorbitant salary. So yes, I wouldn't take the job. I'm surprised that it is so difficult to understand that some people might not want to ever be anything like Tiesto. The idea itself to me of saying "would you be this person?" doesn't make sense to me in the first place. Like, would I be Bill Gates because he's rich? Yeah sure. I'd like to be rich. I'd like to be paid as well as Tiesto sure. But the hypothetical is sort of a pointless question. I am me. I am not going to be those people, so what is the point in even asking, or getting upset because you don't like my answer?

Uh, nobody's getting upset here except maybe you. I made an extremely general statement: "Pretty much everyone here wishes they could be a successful pro DJ," which shouldn't have caused ANY real discussion. Still, you tried to argue with it for a couple of posts only to eventually pretend to disagree with me (even though you obviously don't) while simultaneously falling back to the tried and true cop out line: "oh well the question is dumb anyway."

I have to say this was quite fun.

no one is being owned here

there is a distinct difference between the two statements:

Pretty much everyone here wishes they could be a successful pro DJ

Pretty much everyone here wishes they could be tiesto

one does not need to sacrifice his own identity to become the first, while he must in order to become the second. there are people out there believe it or not who value their own self, potential and free will more than the guarantee of having the end product of success and recognition delivered to them under some predetermined conditions. life to them is not a having and getting, but a being and becoming.

would i trade my life for tiesto's? no. i would rather be my own nobody and haven being given that choice to determine my own fate than be defined by someone else's path for the sake of comfort and vanity. only they who can't contextualize what it is to be alive would choose to "be tiesto"

Well said, except that nobody ever said the second statement. My first post was just saying the first one, but by using tiesto as the example of a "successful pro dj" it immediately got the hate-train rolling.

As far as the "trading lives" argument goes, I'm pretty sure everyone agrees with that. I wouldn't trade my fundamental state of being with anyone else for anything. But would I trade jobs? Sure. I'd still be me, just doing cooler shit every day.

Yes thats right people, Tiesto is *NOT*God and needs to poop and pee like the rest of us!!!
