it's good to find out that i am NOT a full timer...i thought i was. I guess i'm called a so-called full timer because I have other income.
I may not even be considered a real so-called full timer because i am a multi-op.
so my new official title is....semi-so-called mostly full timer.

Haven't got that market yet, but I'm working on it!
heck,
on top of hobbyist, part timer, bottom feeder, cheap skate... we should consider forming an association like the big uns out there.... to represent that sector of the market. LOL!!

Now on a more, realistic note....
A brief history of how I got to this board: I was invited to this board, as an alternative to the arrogance and the “Be-Es” that was going on at that time on another phorum.
Often times we forget that on the other side of a monitor, there are living beings with hopes, dreams and desires, fully capable of thinking and feeling, and wishing for a better world for themselves and their families. Sure everyone would like to afford the best gear, the best vehicles, and ultimately the best gigs; after all, if there is something we all have in common is the passion for the trade we very much love: Dee Jay.
Make no mistake brethren, but there will always be some one better than ourselves out there. My father, bless his soul, used to tell me: “Son, be careful out there in the world, lest one day you find another poppa” (meaning someone who would be capable of kicking my ash). By the same token there will be always some one less fortunate than ourselves also, with less talent, experience, charisma, opportunities, with less gear and who made us judges, or better yet, who appointed us to decide how to make use of their own time and resources? The big wigs? Those that -on the outside- are or believe they are untouchable, but when challenged with hardcore facts they opt to attack the person, instead of the ideas? Why? Because they lack arguments, so their defense mechanism finds no other alternative than to resort to the insults.
I have to say Tom, has presented what is to him the most valuable form of service he has to offer. And we can criticize his set of values, but at the end of the day, those will still be his values, and the way he is able to succeed in his market. Only Tom knows why that set of standards work for him, and Mr. Merry himself will never be able to touch that. Also, no one can’t take that away from him, and the fact that we may like it or agree/disagree with it, will not change the outcome of his way of doing business.
I offer a similar service and I add to my experience the fact that I am 100% Bilingual, in addition I understand a little bit of Portuguese and Italian, so I bring to that to the table, and if there are any disc jockeys in my market who can match that pound per pound, and charge less than I do, so be it. There are plenty of gigs to go around.
In addition to that, I would not say, the type of people who read, or buy from Craig list are undesirable clients. I buy from there; in fact I’ve found good deals for my friends and relatives buying vehicles that are advertised there. God forbid one of my clients from there, reads my post when I insult their intelligence or buying power.
My final thought: why do we need to denigrate others? Whether they are potential clients or fellow disc jockeys? Why do we have to go as far, as to elaborate a set up, that may include some one, life time savings or some one’s source of income? What have we have gained by doing so? Let’s be honest, and let’s be careful, lest we find our poppa out there.

My (proposed)craigslists add:
I DJ therefore I am! So everyone else BITE ME!
Since I can only afford to advertise here on craigslist & you can only afford to look for a DJ here, I will have to take cash only and preferrably denominations less than $20.00.
If you call today, I will throw in the dual-cassette package for just $5.00 more...

Mr full time, this is Mr. Partime who sometimes does the full time thing but more than often can only afford to do the two full times. Some one’s part time is another man’s full time, but only when the time is full. My time isn’t full yet, but I am hoping to fill it up by the end of the year, so the part timers out there don’t tell me I am another part time looking for full time and indeed they call me full time too. This time i just wanted to say, you're fully correct. (regards scottie...) LOL!
You're a LOSER! I throw in a dual 8-track player, so THERE!!If you call today, I will throw in the dual-cassette package for just $5.00 more...
If they throw in a couple hundred more, I'll use my Realistic system...
Why would anyone want to use an 8-Track player? I mean really, get a grip... this is going way outta line here fellows,,, what started as a spoof has now gone all the way down to talking about bringing 8 tracks and RS gear?
It doesn't matter if you are a part time, full time, hobbiest, professional or whatever, why would anyone want to have an 8-track package?
Are you all that slow as to think that is even funny? Are you so bored with trying to build your business up, that all you can think of is stupid, inane and childess posts about 8-tracks?
We have tried to come so far as a profession, educate the public, help out our fellow DJ. We even have allowed girls to become DJs. I mean really think about what you write before you show your ignorance......
I mean really, why would anyone want an 8-Track package when the epitomy of a DJ up-grade package is using a Sony Reel to Reel player, I mean really......

Yeah, but is it Discrete or SQ?
Mine has 8 separate tracks, so it's Octophonic!
Speaking of which, here's a blast from the past for ya:
