I walked across the stage at convocation, they withheld my degree because of library fines, they’re fucking nickel and dimeing their students & clientele. Oh well, I’ll pay it off, they’ll send me my degree. 4 fined library books * $17 each, what’s that? $68. $68 is what they’re holding out for, after I just paid them thousands in tuition, they’re fuckers. And down the line they’ll be sending me alumni magazines and asking me for money. Fuck them, I’ll remind them why I won’t be donating when the time comes, if it comes – I don’t see myself living the dream of the upper-middle class which I was sold anyway.
Tomorrow I leave for a US DJ gig in Maine. That’s it, technically speaking, I’ve achieved the dream that I was shooting for in high school; international DJ. It’s not everything I thought it was going to be. But I can’t wait to go perform anyway. I fly to Boston and then bus to Portland, the party is this Saturday, and I think there is going to be an after-party too. It’ll be great.
My professional goals now are just to keep on mixing and working in music and try to get paid. It’s so bloody hard to make a living with music. But here I am, there’s no turning back now. It’s going to happen.
Ok – well I just wanted to touch base and blog. I’ll be making a mixtape and uploading to Mixcloud tonight, check it out, google: DJ Tim Mills, you’ll find me.
After the US gig, I’m planning a wicked party for the end of the November. Hope to see you there! 🙂
