It's not work if you have fun doing it

Imagine for the rest of your life your stuck in a dead end job, in a cubical, and having orders barked at you everyday. I don't see many people staying happy at their job very long, unless they like to be bossed around and be away from human interaction. My advice to someone who wants to get out and have fun with their short and meaningful lives, is stop working. The best thing in the world is to get paid for doing something you love and is skilled at. It's never really considered work when it's your passion and you are excited to go into the field and start making money. The essay by Thandie Newton made me realize, when you are in that moment, when you are your true self is when you are enlightened. Happy with yourself and breathing in your essence, because during thoese moments you lose yourself.


OTAY RANCH PROM 2010
When I'm djing at a gig, I feel like I'm in a different world. I break out of my usual shy and miserable self and into a whole new confident and energetic guy. I use the crowd as an energy booster and feed off them as i rock the turntables. The feeling of having the power and persuasion to make people dance and let them forget about their problems at work or at home for four hours is gratifying and a big confidence level riser. I never feel like im working when im djing, and i think i can say i've never worked a day in my life.

Music of my life

DJing at the Brewhouse at Eastlake
First of all my name is Ariz, pronounced "Aries" like the sign, but i'm not one. Sorry. So that should answer a lot of peoples questions and jokes. Im 23 turning 24 in February. I am currently a student at SWC and also employed at BIG 5 CORP, but that's only my part-time job. My full-time job or more like current career is DJing. Started right after high school and never slowed down, to me it's kinda like a hobby you get paid for. So i never feel like it's work when i am djing. Music and the power to make people feel good and get up and move drives me and it has become my passion. I have found my essence, my calling in life. My other loves are cooking and eating food, and music and dance. Something you might find strange about me is that i'm a very shy guy, but i think my constant new years resolutions of overcoming that shyness is finally paying off. I find conversations that are intellectual stimulating, either you can teach me something or if i can teach you something, it gets me excited. Being a humanitarian sometimes effects me in my personal goals, because i put my family and friends first, before me. It doesn't help that i was raised in a filipino home, where family is the most important thing. All in all I'm still growing and I'm not done yet, there is still many things i want to see and accomplish in my lifetime and hopefully leave a legacy for the younger generation to look back into.
