So part of the fun of DJing is the comments and conversations I hear. Yes, even over the din of the club I can hear what people are talking about, that is if they are within earshot of me. While most of it is just random chatter, some of it is amusing and some of it is hilarious. So here's my ode to the funny, amusing, crazy s#!+ people say when they think you can't hear or aren't listening to them.
What the hell was she thinking? [When she put that outfit on I'm assuming]
When he gone play my song? [Umm, I would if I knew what your song was?]
Girl we can't leave yet, I got to go back in there and get my hair. [OK this was by far my favorite of the weekend. My question is where the hell did she leave her hair and why the hell was her hair off her head?]
She smells like coffee and sour cream and onion potato chips. [All I could do was laugh.]
Can you play (song name that I'd never heard of)... He has some sexy eyes... (As she and her friend are walking away.) [BTW, Thanks]
I hear you DJ... [While I know what he meant, I’m thinking I know you hear me I'm playing the damn music.]
When you gone play some Gucci Mane? What do you want to hear? (Song)... I already played it. You gone play it again? Umm... Nope. His a$$ can play that song again for me.[As she's walking away.] *Note most DJ's are only gonna play a song once a night so if you miss it sorry. And I have entire post I'm going to write about this, but I'll save my commentary till then, just look for it.
He's kinda sexy. (As she and her friend are walking by.)
Where the F*#% did all these people come from? [Thinking to myself, ummm it's a party. But as I look around and survey the room it was a lot of bodies in there.]
No his stupid a$$ didn't... [As a guy tried to dance his way up behind her as she and her friends were dancing in a group.]
You gone play Robin Thicke "Sex Therapy"? Yeah I got you. Ok good. I'm bout to get this sexy MF... [Now I was assuming and HOPING she was talking about someone on the dance floor. Cause to quote my sister Shaun, "I felt some kind of way about this one."]
So while we(most of us that is) enjoyed a day off in observation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday I got to thinking of how many people have actually heard the entire "I Have A Dream" speech? We've all heard the last quarter or eighth of the speech... you know the part that goes: "...This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania..."
So just in case you've never heard or read the entire text of Dr. King's "I have a Dream" speech here it is for your listening enjoyment. Of course I've added some accompaniments (music) to it. Not because I felt it needed it but frankly to keep your attention.
Just in case you are in a vacuum or didn't happen to catch all the FB status updates or Tweets about it. Here's my man General Larry Platt on American Idol last night. Everytime I think about this I laugh in part because it's funny and in part because it's true. I'm with him, pull your damn pants up. Anyways here's the video....
So as I'm driving home(to B'ham) today it never fails that some idiot does something to piss me off on my drive. And it always seems to happen when I'm coming up on Alex City. (Wonder Why?) Anyways, as I'm coming across the bridge and up the hill pass the Tallapoosa River some idiot waits till I get about 30 yards from him and he decides that he wants to cross 280. WTH? The kicker is that he wasn't trying to doingdo it quickly. heHe strolled his ass out there like he was taking a Sunday afternoon walk. Despite me riding my horn and visibly showing my displeasure with is decision to try cross then. To make matters worst worse, the wonderful drivingdriver speeding up on the side of me, doing 'bout 85 or so, swerveswerved to avoid the idiot who was crossing 280 and damn near took me out. Glad he was riding his horn as well otherwise I wouldn't have been alerted to swerve to the right to avoid being hit.
Now other than that the drive home was rather pleasant. Well except for the idiot (with a Tallapoosa County tag - 62) that stopped at the freakin green light at the bottom of the hill(mountain) right before you get to Greystone. Again, WTH? At least by that time I was laughing at something on Foxxhole. (Jamie Foxx's channel on Sirius)
Now the drive back to Auburn was rather uneventful, except the cop headed west right outside of Chelsea flashing his lights(and making me curse) in an effort to get me and the car next to me to slow down. (We were only doing 65, which is what the speed limit was about 100 yards up the road). Besides that it was nice and peaceful. My deer sighting count got up to seven, with numbers five and six being a little too close to the side of the road for me. All I know is that if I were a hunter I'd camp out between Dadeville and Auburn, because that's where I saw five of the seven deer.
NOTE: Since I obviously didn't proof my post early I've went back and made correction on the page. So the words that are crossed out are wrong and the italics are the corrections. I guess I do have more than two people reading my blog.
Ok so I can't take credit for this one... I saw it on another blog (where were you when is the name of it) and just had to share it. It's a freestyle 'battle' (I used than one loosely) between Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC and Special K. Not sure what show it's from but it's Classic... BTW if you have no idea who these people are you're not a true fan of hip hop.
