First I just want to thank God for what he is doing in my life and our business. Now I know to some they won't care but I have to give credit where it belongs.

Here is the reason I'm exited. Lord willing we are about to book our second corporate event. An awards slash Christmas party. The reason for my joy is that as many of you know I work for a very big corp in California. It is divided into 3 different parts. I work for one of those parts

I will be DJing the event for one of the other parts of the company. The same which I did there picnic a few months ago. I'am humbled and honored. I do believe they like the fact they have a DJ they feel they can trust with there events that works with in the mother company.

From what I understand they like this to be a classy event which should be cool I do mostly wedding so I understand the idea of having and event classy yet fun. I feel if I do a good job for them they will continue to use us as there corporate DJ. They have many retirement parties. Employees in the area for this part of the company are about 700 from what the picnic showed.

Again I'm humbled and thankful to see what God is doing in my life and our business. I know to many this will mean less than nothing. But to some and myself it is my life. Being an extremly imperfect man Its always great to know he still loves me. :sqbiggrin:
 
Good to hear. I'm exited to.. I mean excited for you the wife and your DJ company. Good comes to those that deserve and by all means you deserve it. I hope I can be as lucky with my DJ business also. Thanks for sharing.
 
nextgen1 : When the heart opens up to listen to the calling, the messages (which were always there in the first place) get louder, clearer, and more exciting.

Sounds as though you have the best Mentor dialed in. All the best, and peace.
 
Boy I could get burned here for what I am thinking! LOL

The "G" man aside, it sounds like to me that you have been doing a great job and that clients see that and they want you to be apart of their event. It's all you ba-bay!!!

We are ALL imperfect and that is what makes us strive to do better. To reconize our imperfections and try to fix them, is what makes us grow.

You can also imbrace them. When you do that, imperfections turn into quirkieness, and I, personally, am VERY quirky!!!!! :)

And whatever higher being, power, joy, spirit, or plant that you believe in, it will always love you for you are who you are, and as long as you stay true to yourself, it's all good.
 
I totally agree Chuck.

What God, or whatever you choose to call he/she/it did, was give us a place and a time, and a few simple rules to play by.

How we utilize it, is left to us, IMHO.

If we spend too much time thanking HSI, we also spend too much time blaming HSI.

Look in the mirror, and you will find who to thank, and who to blame...

BTW, Good going NextGen -- keep 'em rockin' :)

Thanks Chuck I understand what you are saying. But I know for me. I see the things that in life that have made me what I'am. And always and I mean always God was there in my life. From the attempted suicide of my youth to all my serious drug abuses when I was young. Through out my divorce and all my children's run ins with drugs and crime. God was there each and and every time.

He has been with me when I started my DJ service having never done and event with anyone other than listening to you true professionals. Before each event we pray and ask God to bless it and he helps me have confidence that he will be with me. You see I do understand kinda what King David in the bible (absoulutely no comparison here) saw.

To the outside world they saw a fierce warrior king and kingdom. To David he saw a man in need of God who just trusted him when he said go and God will do the rest. He saw that god was there with him even though others saw simply David at his best.

I must admit I'm a driven person but also I must admit I'am what I'am because of him.:sqbiggrin:
 
Do you think there might be some "Fine California Wine" .......flowing at this party...???

Dave you are absolutely right to be thankful.....I remember something my mom always emphasized to me and that was........"He helps those who help themselves"........and you know who "HE" is..........

Congrats and you have earned it.....

...and don't get so big that you miss Vegas next year.......OK !!!

LOL to funny Gray I'm quite sure there will be a ton of Fine California Wine flowing at this party. If wine is your thing that I'm sure this party would be your ultimate dream come true. And I'm actually not sure the Vegas is in our plans next year. Maybe we need a super duper effort by all of our friends here to call my wife and insist that Dave has to come out and play.
 
People I need your attention.........We have a crisis brewing.......

Do I have your attn....Thank You

We have a member and fellow "ODJT'er" needing some help...For those of us who went last year to "Mobilebeat '07... "What would this trip this year be ....without Dave on the "KJ" Mic"??

"Jon" .....speak up, "Carolyn", speak up "Chuck"... (put down the Mai Tai).....this man needs a phone campaign to his lovely wife (did I say lovely, Oh Yes!!!), encouraging her that She needs to attend the convention in Las Vegas next year.

Jon/Carolyn/Chuck....what would the Karaoke Night at The "Blue's Place".... be without Dave :drunken_smilie:

Group....here me now.. including...(Jon/Carolyn/Dave)....have tried to get me to attend this year, and actually convince me to make a "fool" of myself by "singing", and the one who could help me get their (making a fool of myself) has ...... :nah:"Home Problems"............People we need your help...

And "Dave" ......we need your ..."Telly" number......

This is an offical "ODJT" Emergency situation:sqeek:......."member going down"........
 
Dave, if it's any help...

Ol' Wolfie was married once. I got over it but that's a story for another time. ;)

The ticket here is teamwork. You love your missus, right? Well, show her. Any time you want to do something for yourself (like buy business equipment ~ GAS ~ or attend an industry tradeshow), do something for her.

The tradeshows are part of the business. A necessary evil as it were. If the missus cannot accompany you, do something for her in return. What would she like?

Give it some thought. What would pleasantly surprise your missus... something that's just for her? Bet there's a nice restaurant somewhere close that she'd love to visit and enjoy a romantic dinner by candlelight.

Perhaps she'd like a new HD radio. Or it could be as simple as cleaning out the utility room like you've been talking about doing for the last ten years, lol.

It's all about teamwork. :)
 
Dave .......what Wolfie says is true, I have been married some 42 years....and even though "music" is not her game She (My Wife) is supportive of me and what I'm doing as a DJ.

You met Nancy last year in Vegas, but this year She wants to stay home, it really wasn't much fun for her, because we enjoy doing things together...... and this does not do it for her.

So I always find something special to do for her when situations like this occur, to show my appreciation for her understanding, that this is something I really enjoy doing.
 
Dude, give credit where it's due. You are the one responsible for your success.
Hell, if you are going to throw away credit for what you've done, I'll take some.
Your success is because you developed a skill. You worked hard. You excelled at your craft. You did this. No one else. Take a bow my man!
 
Well the Mobilebeat '08 attendee's are dropping like flies.......... first Carolyn now Dave.....who's next??:dontknow:
 
Daves,
Wife just needs convincing. Gee Jim what was that you just mentioned about positive?

I just succumbed to the "Dark Side" for a split second in my time of weekness..........I'm OK now.............. that was close....thanks JT...

Were back on line people..... we need to work on Dave's wife....Any Idea's??
 
Not to sure Jon even though I would like to go my vacation at my work place is kinda strange I get 5 weeks now (been there longer than 20 years) But now both of my sons live in Ohio I will be taking a week in January and another later on that year for me and my wife to go see them and my grand daughters and daughter in laws. I have divided my vacation up this year so that I can take some fridays off. Our work has been working many weekends and and even though I'am top seniority in my dept. We have many forced weekends.

If I want to make sure That I have saturdays off for my weddings I have to take the friday off before hand to make sure I have it. It's really a big pain in the butt . I love to come and see you guys and learn even more. But my options are limited. One of my sons I have not seen in almost 2 year. This is not going to happen again. My work also allows me to sell back up to 2 weeks a year to the company. So for the last 2 years I have sold back 2 weeks each year.

This money from that was used to further our DJ business. This year that time will be reserved till farther in the year. I have made deals with my wife to pay off all our equipment this year even our Bose system. I will do what ever it takes to do this. Like I said I'm quite driven and dedicated. She has been a great help and a wonderful and trusting wife. I wish only to repay her belief in me and my words by doing as I have said I will do. Now in 2009 this will be a different story. :sqbiggrin:

Now if you want Jon I can record my white bread version of Celebration and DJ Gray can pull a brittany and get up and lip sinc it and shake his booty )
