I am everyman.

2010-08-22T21:29:00.000-07:00

I dont want to be anyone but who I am.

Who am I?

I am a manifestation of everyman I've ever come in contact with. I am the good of every man that has ever shared a conversation with me. I am the man everyone has always told me to be.
I am a man of my word.
I am loyal.
I am intelligent.
I am artistic.
I am beneficial.
I am considerate.

I am the good of everyman I've ever come in contact with. And I despise all of those men. I despise the model, I despise the contradiction. I despise the expectation and I despise the competition. I am who you are, everyman. And I hate you.

I never wanted to be everyman, but I am, and I am not you.

Jealousy and envy.

You despise me.

Even though I am enough of you, I am not you.

I dont want to be you, because I am everyman.

And everyman is who you are not.

The Karate Kid (2010)

2010-06-23T10:49:00.000-07:00

So something else I will be doing for myself is reviewing movies. I am extremely passionate about cinema and for some reason I have lacked to include reviews in this blog. I will dedicate reviews of all sorts to this blog. I figure movies are exceptionally interesting so I will include them.

The first movie I would like to review is the Karate Kid staring Jayden Smith, Jackie Chan, and Taraji P. Henson.

Now, for starters, I was a huge fan of the 1984 film with Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita (RIP). They filmed a portion of that movie at a "Golf Land" that my grandparents use to take me to all the time. The storyline of a New Jersey kid that moves out to California and gets his ass kicked daily by a blonde surfing Kung Fu teenager had alot of potential in 84'. Alot more things were believable 25 years ago I guess, including a Gardner that lives in the valley and has a vintage car collection (right..). But there are some excitement in the film like the last scene of the Kung Fu tournament. Not to mention one of the best movie theme songs ever "Your The Best Around".

Now the 2010 "Revision", as I like to call them. filled in a lot of the gaps that the 84' movie didn't. In no way did it follow the original storyline which I thought was amazing. With all these remakes of 80's movies following alittle to close to the original movies just makes it a waste of money and time. If we want to see the original, we'll watch it, not some new movie with CGI enhancement just to fuck it up( IE. Nightmare on Elm St... yea, im talking to you).

Dre(Smith) moves to Beijing due to his mother relocation of work and is thrown into Chinese culture shock. Along the way he makes friends with another American kid and is introduced to a Chinese girl that is a over achieving, violin prodigy..(like thats not stereotypical). Dre creates an enemy on the basketball court that also has a crush on the same girl. For Dre's luck, this kid is a super star Kung Fu fighter that belongs the most respected dojo in Beijing. After endless times of getting his ass kicked, Dre enlists the help of maintenance man Mr. Hung (Chan) to teach him Kung Fu.The rest of the course of the movie is Hung teaching Dre the importance of Kung Fu and how to defeat his new enemy at the ending Kung Fu Tournament.

For me the movie was much more believable than the original. Though the original had its perks, so many of it was out line even for the time(1984). The 2010 film was based in a grimmy Beijing and Mr. Hung didnt have a fully restored 1955 Chevy pick up like Mr. Miyagi, he had a hole in the wall house with a beat up Toyota in his living room. Why you ask? CAUSE HE'S A FUCKING MAINTENANCE MAN. You can't afford much on a janitors budget. Maybe the setting being in China created a better atmosphere for the movie, but overall it was enjoyable and I will watch again many times.

Note:
Film is called "The Karate Kid".. Karate being from Japan, not China.

Roc Raida

2009-09-19T15:33:00.000-07:00

Today another inspiration of my turntablism days has passed away. When I first started DJing and particularly scratching everyone was pushing me to do body tricks into my routines. Really, I thought they were pointless and were all for show. I got the "Scratch" DVD by Doug E. Pray a few years back and they had a feature with the X-Ecutioners. I remember seeing Roc Raida in a small clip of the DMC he won. He was flying back in fourth, spinning around and moving records with his chin. It was insane. It was a level of turntablism that I never imagined. I had a new found respect for Roc and he's style. I always had mad respect for him. Rest In Peace Anthony Williams, AKA Roc Raida.

Jordan line has been pumping out kicks left and right like octo mom giving birth. New word has surfaced that Carmelo Anthony's 6th shoe from the Jordan Line with be released sometime during the 09-10 NBA season. Personally, these are a disappointment to what other shoes JL is putting out like the Fusions and all the Count Down packs. Signature lines out side of Jordan's himself have been a bust. Keep and eye out for newly added Dwayne Wade's signature shoe to drop on the Jordan brand as well.

Michael Jackson's death was unexpected and devastating for me. I wanted to post a tribute or some sort of montage that was a reflection on what he meant to my life as a whole, and i may still get around to it.

To watch towers be built and stand tall and strong.
To watch them crumble to the ground and be wrong.
To watch people's hearts open up and guide you in.
To watch people misguide you with sin.
To watch love grow and create hope.

To watch you die in side and choke.

To watch everything you ever dreamed of taken from you.

To watch everything be untrue.

To watch your self on the ground helpless and defenseless.

To watch your self become an utter mess.

To watch your self stand back up and start from the beginning.

To watch your self find hope again and restore meaning.

To watch your self

Stand back up.

Stand back up.

It's almost been a month without any post.

2009-03-16T04:40:00.000-07:00

Im a blogger poser.

But, for good reason. I've been extremely, extremely busy with school work and though I would love to write frequently on my blog with all interesting post, It's just impossible at this point in my life. I can't dedicate my life to blogging, there is much more out there for me. And that is in no way a shot to any of the bloggers that read mine, its just reality.

But in related news,
i'm dating a very beautiful girl named Analise Sasha Kalpakoff. Did I have to list her whole name? Yes. Why? Because she means that much to me.

Did i have to post a picture? probably not, but again she means that much to me.

Lately i've had to put Dj'ing aside because of school, but i've picked up the guitar again and have been play quite frequently. I really need to get sleep as well, as you can see im posting this roughly around 5 in the morning. I have a seriously problem. But sooner than later i will be posting music, clothing, funny video (also of me my friends), and hopefully just good vibes.
Wish me luck on my school work. Great things are coming up, spring break being one of them.

Behringer BCR2000

Behringer BCR2000

My BCR2000

All you audio fags can talk as much shit on Behringer as much as you want, the BCR2000 is a Class A MIDI control and I'll rock it till i find something else worth buying.
There are so many controllers out there, and for the price that they go for none of them are worth it.
The BCR2000 is about 140.00USD NEW... And its full rotary, that comes with presets and is fully combatable with Ableton(my primary production/dj software), Reason, and Cubase(New industry standard)

Many will say as well.. if its good enough for Bangalter and Guy-Manuel then its good enough for them.

And i know it may seem like im always jocking daft punk and bangalter, but to tell you the truth.. it really is just a good control for the money.. if i had the money and the APC40 was available i would get it. But this will do for now.
I plan on posting video soon of me using the BCR2000 and Ableton together to make a set. Stay tuned.

Cut Copy - Far Away ( Hercules & Love Affair Remix)

Ok, I LOVE Cut Copy, and I LOVE this song far away, and usually i'm pretty sketchy on remixes when i love the original so much. But I have to say this is a total exception.

I just got back from the kick off for the 2009 Guitar Center Dj Competition, Held in beautiful Covina, California. I feel like I should post something "scratch" related, and i want to but i can't find to many clips of "Battle Sounds" the documentary by John Carluccio. I want this movie SO bad.. but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I own "Scratch" the Doug Pray film, and "Hang the Dj" but no Battle Sounds. I found some pretty decent clips that might do the film justice so ill post those up tomorrow. CHEERS!

Akai APC40 + Ableton Live

2009-02-04T09:15:00.000-08:00

The annual music product trade show NAMM (National Associations of Music Merchants) was held this year and oh did they come out with the big guns. One of my best friends Ryan some how, some way, sneaked in to the convention using a random Asian man's alias, or something along those lines. Music Merchants display their new products coming out for the upcoming year, this one being 2009. Since the products have not hit the shelves (so to speak) yet, it is a very exclusive convention that is invitation only. There where many interesting products that are worth blogging about (like the new Rane TTM-56S, and the Live[2] - Serato Scratch Live + Ableton software which i will be sure to blog about later, and of course, Ableton Live 8) But one in particular that caught my eye, and Ryan's at most.

The Akai APC40

Since i've started using Ableton, I've sucked huge balls. But now with a hardware MIDI controller i feel like things might get a little bit more convenient. Using a mouse to control the "knobs" on the operators and midi effects, and even the faders was really hard for me coming from a dj mixer hardware background. I've always wanted something more tangible and now i have it. The LED pads help you distinguish each clip and midi effect and the knobs help give expressions virtually to anything in Ableton. Since I've started making music as well now (arranging and composing tracks), I've always been a huge fan of Akai, and their MPC models. Taking the elements of both world is a marriage that was meant be consummated and create the APC40. Although Serato just came out with a new interface box, SSL 1.9 software and A new mixer.. i think people are going to start catching on to Ableton once they experience the flexability and production capabilities in a live setting from the software. Or, I could be wrong.

Ableton.

Refused Are Fucking Dead.

2009-02-02T12:20:00.001-08:00

Refused were an AMAZING hardcore band from Sweden that reined underground hardcore champs from 1991-1998. So many bands site Refused for being a huge influence on their sound. For me, Refused in bodied everything that was punk, and hardcore, to the point where though they were a hardcore band, they bridged the gap between hardcore and punk.. because at the time, that was punk to them. The two genres mixing together was unheard of, they where both in their own respected rights, two separate elements in rock n' roll. Like Cream and Operation IVY, Refused broke up right at there peak. Refused made a documentary entitled "Refused Are Fucking Dead", and it is by far one of the rawest most well put together doc's by any band. Here it is divided into four parts, enjoy this very much because i did.

No One Cares To Understand Who is the Meat, And Who is The Butcher.

2009-01-30T19:30:00.000-08:00

Who is the Butcher? I am the Fucking Butcher.

I can say there has been two MAIN influences in my guitar playing, there has been many guitar players who have inspired me, but only two who have had major impacts on my guitar playing and writing.

One being Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, with out listening to a Rage album and hearing A guitar player try to mimic a DJ and synth only with a guitar and amp? It was mind boggling. Tom (Morello) is the reason i picked up a guitar in the first place.

The second guitar player is Justin Beck, From Glassjaw.

I first heard "Everything you need to know about silence" early in my high school years. I heard a guitar player, who was Todd Weinstein, and something else over the guitar playing, sort of like a robot playing a guitar making it with crazy noises and sounds. And that was Justin Beck. Since i had just a great appreciation for Tom Morello's style, once i heard Justin Beck it was enough for me. Justin Beck made me want to start writing, make music, and make music that i liked. Glassjaw is a Band from Long Island, New York with a hip hop influence who started the whole "post hardcore" sound with heavy riffs, melodic singing and screaming, and ambient sounds all in one. Many bands followed after, but never like glassjaw, or even close, ever. period. I can say ever so homo-ly that glassjaw changed my life, and i hope this is a good example of why.

I know its labeled as Indie, but what are you gonna do. If anything, glassjaw doesnt have a label.

p.s. more post coming soon, lots of funny videos and some stuff from NAMM and cool new apparel that i found.

Sorry i haven't posted anything in awhile.. Ive been bombarded with school work and busy with functions and running my life upawall.

To satisfy my fascination with children falling and hurting themselves heres a video. It's probably the funniest when the woman say "ow" and he begins to cry.

Soul ll Soul - Back to Life.

2009-01-18T17:08:00.001-08:00

Geez, such a banger at it's time. A classic for a sunday, enjoy.

P.S. i know its labeled as hip hop, but i had no where else to put it.. and im tired of making new labels. deal with it.

Muscles - Sweaty (Shazam Remix)

2009-01-16T11:49:00.000-08:00

I'm not gonna lie, the original of this song is horrible. But of course, the remix is better.. which in some cases isn't always true.

Dirty 90's Dance = Amazing-ness.

2009-01-16T11:07:00.000-08:00

These are some of my favorite 90's Hip Hop dirty dance music.. before getting "crunk" this was club music of the early 90's, perfect for a Friday. Enjoy. - t.

Macbook wheel a sham.

2009-01-15T04:31:00.000-08:00

I wanted to write about the new "Macbook Wheel" because i was completely infuriated. How could mac come out with something so ridiculous? It was not a surprise because Mr. Steve Jobs is know for something outrages like this.. And since he's about to leave Apple due to a major illness.. i could see him going out with a bang. And this would give my best friend Ryan so much more of a Edge on how much he hates Apple products.. but to MY surprise.. it was just a joke.. The Onion came out with a spoof on the product so my furry has went away, any who... here is the video of the spoof.

Air France - No Excuses.

2009-01-13T06:25:00.000-08:00

I love Air France, their still some what under ground which I love. Their No Way Down EP came out in the summer of 2008 and it's so amazing, One of the best albums of 2008. This is No Excuses off the EP.

At Dawn.

2009-01-12T23:10:00.000-08:00

I started spring semester today.. And as long as I've had a collegiate career, ive never had a class earlier than 9 am. And im far from being a morning person, in fact i love the night. My earliest class today started at 7:30am, and what makes it even more amazing is that its only offered at that time. Thank you lord for caffeine. Here's video of me sitting in my car contemplating if i should go into class.

I know its side ways, but what are you gonna do.. i don't have a video editor and photobucket wasn't having it.

If you like it then you should have put a ring on it.

2009-01-12T22:44:00.000-08:00

Ever since the spoof on SNL of Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg being Beyonce's back up dancers in her single ladies video there has been hundreds of videos of people trying to do the dance. This is hands down the funniest one, because i think this guy is extremely serious, and im not gonna lie.. its pretty amazing.

Caked Out.

2009-01-12T04:46:00.000-08:00

There is alot of small t-shirt companies that come out annually, but i think caked out stands out from alot of the others. Very similar to my boy Aaron LaCrate's clothing line Milk Crate Athletics, Funny satire of "get rich" stereotypes are put as graphics on the tee's. The t-shirts are very simple but fun enough to make a statement. The company has been around for only 3 seasons and i can see the improvements in each one. Watch out for Caked Out.

O'neal Mcknight - Champange Red Lights

2009-01-12T04:23:00.001-08:00

Pitbull - Calle Ocho.

2009-01-11T08:44:00.000-08:00

I gotta say i got a soft spot for the guy. He knows how to take an old club hit and make it fresh again. This is Nicola Fasano Feat. Pat Rich - 75 Brazil Street (original), now Calle Ocho.

Don't Let Ato Matsumoto Find Out About The Air Yezzy.

2009-01-11T06:01:00.001-08:00

Kanye Strikes again.

The first person to have a signature shoe through nike that ISN'T an athlete.

Due to come out sometime in March, theses sneakers are a huge buzz around the globe for sneaker fiends. He designed the sneaker based on his liking on the Ato Matsumoto Cow Hide Boots he found in Japan.

They look extremely similar to the Cow Hide Boot, im not to sure Ato will be happy about this. Never the less, theses sneakers will sell like hot cakes at any price. Ato Cow Hide Boots sell for around 200.00 euro, and im sure the Air Yezzy will be some where around there as well.

Guey.

Oldie But Goodie.. Can't do justice to this video.

Lemur keyboard ala Daft.

2009-01-11T01:50:00.000-08:00

Ever seen Daft's Lemur midi screens they use for their live shows? Well awhile back a buddy of mind sent me a link to some german dudes blog that made a flash interface of the lemur that you control with the keys on your keyboard. I kept it to myself cause i thought it was way to cool for the rest of the world, but i figure if your reading my blog the least i can do it share it with you, enjoy! +++Daf+9unk+++*LEMUR*<--Click Here!
Click on the screen, choose your keyboard type and REMEMBER! PUT YOUR CAP LOCKS ON!... enjoy!

2008.

2008-12-30T02:44:00.000-08:00

In Retrospect.

A year of clarity and projection.

22 was a good year, though i feel 23 as a lot more to offer as i get a little wiser and thankfully a bit more rational.
I would not have been able to be so successful this year with out the help of my family and friends, in particular my mother and sister. Their help, and my dedication to bettering my life has helped me tremendously.
Though my future seems to be some what hazy still, i found a path.
2009 will be a year of growth.
I can not wait to see what my life has to offer me.

To a new year, new beginnings and happiness.

Cheers.

This makes me happy and want to write.

If & It's

2008-05-20T22:40:00.000-07:00

Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem call if that i really like, but i also wrote a poem called it's along time ago before i even read if. so here they both are. Same format, both just as good i think. cheers.

If.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

--Rudyard Kipling

It's

Its about you not knowing how much you mean to me.
It's about you not knowing how much you cross my mind with in five minutes.
It's about you being so clueless to the fact that someone like me can care so much about you that its impossible for me to function.
It's about you telling your self that you could never love someone like me because it wouldnt work, but second guessing yourself because it would make you so happy.
It's about you finding yourself thinking about me the same way i think about you.
It's about you just letting go because this is right.
It's about you wanting to be loved.
It's about you loving me back.
It's about you looking out side the box for so much more.
It's about you talking to me late at night on the phone on the floor of your room until the sun comes up.
It's about you thinking about tomorrow, with me in it.
It's about you first telling your friends how much you love me, and them not approving.
It's about me telling my friends how much I love you, and them not approving.
It's about you and me not caring.
It's about you not knowing who i am and accepting it.
It's about not doing our make up our hair for each other because at the end of the day, we know who each other are.

It's about you.

It's about me.

This is love to me.

Christ Mas 07

2008-05-20T03:01:00.000-07:00

this is old but i like it and i didnt want to leave it on myspace.

Reports are in.. and everyones xmas sucked ass.

And mine wasn't any different...

I know some people celebrate the birth of christ on the actual day of christmas, but my family celebrates it on christmas eve.. because we're beans.

Any how.. there is a true meaning of Christmas and that true meaning is being with your whole family and giving to others to show support and love. (I.E. Charlie browns Christmas, watch it for reference). My family was quite distant and no one felt the urge to actually give anything to anyone this year, including myself. And it wasn't because i felt that no one deserved anything it was because i just didn't feel any ounce in me to go out and think of anyone. thats not completely true.. i bought somethings for some people. But i think there is a very much selfish state of mind that many people are encountering. Many people feel that they should only give what they feel is an equal amount of what is given back to them. For instance.. if you gave some one a box of chocolates for Christmas, they would give you a pair of pot holders in return when you could have easily gave them that awesome CD that they have wanted for ever. But since they gave you chocolate, they don't get shit. Thats sad to me, because that chocolate could mean 1,000 different things, or that person could just be really really cheap. But thats not the point, the point is they thought of you and gave you something when they could have gave you nothing at all. SO! why don't you return that favor and give them something that will make them extremely happy, and maybe, just maybe they will do the same for you next Christmas.

But in this time the number one thing you should always do is remind the people that truely care for you that you love them. Because in the end, fuck all the gifts you just want to see them and be with them and share Christmas stories with them. Maybe even watch Charlie Brown Christmas. I don't care if i don't get shit this year, not a damn thing. All i wanted, was my family to be together.. but Santa couldn't even bring me that. I never liked that fat pedafile anyhow. Not much as come of 2007, not a year that i will look back on and wish i could relive.. there is 6 more days left of this year and i'm not looking forward to any of it, because i feel like its ruined all ready..

Thanks for the vent.

I have a man crush on Keith Olberman.
