Ho Ho Ho

Another holiday passed and it was a success. I really enjoyed time with the family and friends. We ended up getting pretty crazy a few nights but still made it home safely. I did experience two of the worst hangovers I’ve ever had though. I don’t think I am supposed to be drinking alcohol; my body hates it.

 

I am putting up some of the pictures from our holiday tomorrow so check the pics section soon. I thought of my mom often as I do every Christmas. I tried to picture what she may have been doing or if she was watching us as we ate brunch and opened presents at my grandma’s house. I sure hope she was.

 

I miss Angie tremendously. She has been with her family in Texas for her niece’s first Christmas. I go pick them up tomorrow night. We agreed not to spend any more holidays apart as it was really lonely without her. We are really excited about New Year’s coming up. Then we go to the Keys in just a few weeks. We really do live an exciting life.

Post-Party Wrap Up

Wow, the party was a success.

My step mother did a great job putting together everything and those that brought food did not disappoint. In all, the party was exactly what they had hoped it could be. As usual I drank too much and was sick the next day. As usual Angie looked smoking hot and made me look good. As usual we were extremely obnoxious but loved every second of it.

For those that would like to see the pictures, visit
My Website and click on "Family Pictures". The first album will be "Holiday Party 05" and the full spread is in there.

Look at my date; how did I ever get so fortunate?

Hump Day

So it's another Wednesday and I'm getting attacked by Z's. I hate when you
really want to sleep but can't. It's a cruel joke that God is playing on
me and I'm farting in my chair on purpose to combat him.

I had a really nice lunch with my boss today. We discussed my future and
career options, etc. It was a very productive talk and I am rejuvenated
about my position here and what kinds of options I have within the next 6
months.

I am missing Angie a lot as she's been in Jacksonville for the past few
days. She comes back tomorrow thankfully and we have an exciting weekend
planned.

It's hard to believe that christmas is so close. I love the holidays.

Getting Closer

One thing that sucks about working is that you never really get the build
up of the holidays like you did when you were in school and you actually
had time off. You could sit around and see the christmas movies and hang
out at the mall with your friends. You actually got to kind of ramp up
with the rest of society.

Being that most jobs are so monotonous, I almost feel like christmas is
just going to pop up out of nowhere. Thankfully I do have 5 days off right
then.

This weekend we are going to our family's first ever cocktail party. It
should be a lot of fun and I'll post some pictures of the event. I'm
really looking forward to a long, relaxing weekend. Next week will be very
short but sad as Angie leaves for Texas to be with her family for the
holiday. We have agreed that next year we won't make the mistake of doing
our own thing. We have a great new years planned though so that should
make up for some of the downtime around christmas.

I'm still battling the 'get in shape' mentality. I have promised Angie and
myself that I'm putting the effort forth this time and I'm not going to
rush it. It's a total life change for me as I'm used to eating whatever I
want and still being in shape. Amazing how quickly that can change when
you get a desk job.

Holiday Season

I must say that 2005 has actually gone extremely fast. I can’t believe that I am going Christmas shopping next week. The weather in Orlando is very nice lately. With the exception of a few grey days, we have not had our A/C on in almost 3 weeks. We also haven’t had the heat on either. It’s one of my favorite times of the year right now. Everyone seems to be a little happier in anticipation of seeing family and old friends. Most of my friends and family get just as excited about giving gifts as they do receiving them because they are good people.

 

Angie and I may be postponing the hunt for a new home until March or April due to our landlord making us a good offer to stay until they can sell the house. Work is going pretty good; I just got a new laptop and am really enjoying it. Orbital Grooves continue to grow and we have some great ideas for 2006. I hope for us to grow in the areas of podcasting and exclusive sets by some bigger names.

 

All in all this should be a very exciting holiday season. We have tons of activities planned including a new year’s party here in Orlando at Epcot. It’s really rewarding to have so many things to look forward to. It makes sitting here at work worth the long hours.

6 Years Ago

It was roughly an hour ago six years ago that I received a phone call that changed my life. It was my father, who was very shaken and upset. He informed me that my mother had passed away calmly in her sleep. I needed to go home at once and be with my family as well and sign the cremation papers as I was the next of kin.

 

After over half a decade of her being gone, my life has tremendously changed. I have been engaged and then not, I have played professional baseball, I have graduated from college, and I have moved almost a half a dozen times. As much as my life is now different, I still think of her daily. I wish she could have been physically here to enjoy the things that I have achieved.

 

My personal beliefs are that she is still around in some form. Who knows, whether or not that is just for my own comfort. She loved nature and the outdoors too much not to stay around somewhere that she loved being. I see my sister turning into her with every year. She even looks a lot like my mom did at her age. For that I am actually thankful, because at times it is hard to remember my mom’s face. They say this is common with death by someone close to you.

 

I’m extremely happy though for the life that she did leave. She had a lot of fun and actually went out exactly where she said that she wanted to be. If only all of us could be so lucky. Wherever she is and whatever she is doing, I am sure that she is making people laugh and bringing joy to their lives.

 

Make sure you tell your parents how much you love and appreciate them as much as possible. You truly never know when you will talk to them for the last time.

Time Off

I love having time off from work. Last night was a pretty long night and it is so great knowing that I don’t have to go back to work until a week from tomorrow. Thanksgiving is coming up soon and I’m really excited about it. It will be great to have almost a dozen people at my house all celebrating life and each other.

 

It’s a rainy day in Orlando and I have some errands to run. I’m also going to finish a new track that I was playing around with. I love music

Home Again

After over 3,500 miles and 13 days, Angie and I are finally home from our
road trip. In all we covered ground in Florida, Georgia, South/North
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, and Tennessee.

We picked the perfect time of year to go into the Appalachian Mountains.
The leaves were absolutely at their peak and it was one of the most
beautiful trips to Western North Carolina that I've ever experienced. I
got the chance to meet most of her family and they are all awesome people.
We took over 500 pictures that I'm in the process of uploading now. Please
check the pictures section under "trips" for those pics.

The weather could not have been more cooperative. We had little to no
rain, and highs in the 50s and 60s with lows in the upper 30s and 40s. It
was perfect. I really needed a break and can't describe in words how
peaceful and powerful it is to be around nature.

Being back at work sucks but I am happy because I only have 4 days this
week and then I'm off for another 10. I took the whole week of
Thanksgiving off and my family is coming to Orlando. Angie's parents are
coming down from Jacksonville so it will be a nice sized dinner. I'm
really excited about having some more time off.

We are still busy as ever with things coming up. We're also looking into
options for New Years. Always on the go...

Ready to Ride

The day has come for our vacation. We leave around 5 pm today and I
couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to smell the fresh air of the
mountains and feel the cool, dense fog of the smokeys on my face.

There is something very powerful about road trips and traveling for me.
Angie and I have been talking about this trip for a long time and it is
finally coming to life today. We'll be stopping at her parent's house in
Jacksonville for the night and then heading out tomorrow around 7 am.

We are going to drive over 2000 miles in 13 days. We are timing it perfect
as well, hitting the carolinas right during peak season. We'll have
hundreds of new pictures on the site when we get back.

Newboze

I’m a newbie at this office. Today is my first day and after some issues with security I made it in. I now work on the East Side of Orlando and so far so good. Our crushed ice machine made it over so life could be worse. It will be tough for Angie come and see me at lunch because there are no visitors allowed on the campus. I definitely will miss being in a public building for that purpose alone.

 

It is only two days until our vacation. I am more excited than an Amish man on his wedding night. We’ll be in the mountains and in the farmlands. It should be one of the most exciting trips I have ever taken. I promise to put tons of pics on my site, which by the way is http://www.djlucas.us (shameless plug)

Movin

Today is my last day in this office. We have been relocated to another company owned building on the east side of town. It should be a much nicer facility to work in. I’m excited about something new and will also look to move closer to work when my lease runs up in February.

 

I’ve learned a lot in this building about many aspects of corporate life. It’s weird to me how fast you can get comfortable with something, only to have things change almost immediately. I think in many ways that is one thing that I really enjoy about life; the changes.

Cool

The first major temperature change of the year hit us yesterday morning. All I can say is “Welcome!”

 

I have always enjoyed the first brisk air of the year and the invigorating feeling that it brings. There is something really magical about the fall. The only thing I wish is that we had more sunlight. It is now getting dark around 7:30 pm here. We leave in exactly a week for our vacation. It is really hard for me to describe here how excited I am. We are going to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. I know that the Camry will treat us wonderfully and I’m excited to see what kind of gas mileage it gets with the air off in the cool northern air we’ll be in.

 

I’m just about finished packing my work stuff up. Tomorrow is my last day in this office. It’s been an amazing learning experience thusfar and I’m sure I’ll learn even more when we move to the campus on the other side of town. It is really weird not having Bob around. I like working by myself a lot but it’s amazing how you get used to another person being around and then all of the sudden they are gone.

 

I’m going outside right now to enjoy this beautiful weather.

Wilma

I am typing this as Hurricane Wilma slams into the Southern part of Florida. We have set a record this year as we have used all of the names in the hurricane alphabet and had to resort to the Greek alphabet. It has been a truly amazing year. I am looking out my window at this moment over the lake in my backyard that has whitecaps on it. Florida has seen 5 land falling hurricanes this year. None of them as bad as Katrina who hit the Gulf Coast, but still they have been significantly costly.

 

Weather is really awesome.

One Phone Call

It is amazing how much your life can change with just one phone call.
Nothing has happened to me directly, but all around me there are major
things happening to my friends and family. It is almost surreal how much
drama can be created from just the ring of one phone.

It reminds me of the fact that we can only enjoy the time we have on this
planet, as many events around us are un-controllable and cannot be altered
by us in any way. Life is ever evolving and the best thing I feel we can
do is just to enjoy each moment and try to be as happy as possible.

We occupy too short of an existence to let pity stuff get in our way. The
real goal of each of us should be to better oursevles. To find a nitch and
harness that nitch into something great. To add joy and value to
everything you do. I know I'm sounding like some renaissance poet right
now but there is way too much sadness and negativity in our world. We've
been groomed not to look for the positive.

Live each day not as if it were your last, but if it were your best is a
quote I just made up that makes a lot of sense right now.

Dehydrated

After a long time of not getting hungover, it happened again. I have now abolished the phrase "I found the drink that doesn't get me hungover" because this weekend I ran into the wall again.

Actually it was a great weekend though. I got to visit with my family, went to a Casino and won some money, and went out twice. I definitely showcased myself as the normal obnoxious, loud, antagonistic person that I can be when a certain degree of whiskey is flowing through me. I still managed to come out of it alive with no arrests or stolen property so at least that's good.

I have a short week at work and then we are going to Penscola and Daytona Beach this weekend. It's going to be a lot of fun, but a lot of driving as well. I love going out of town though. Pretty soon we'll be leaving for our vacation and I'll be as excited as a small child on christmas eve.

Tober Yober

October is already here. I think 2005 has gone faster than a lot of the years that I can remember. That is probably most likely because all the change I have experienced. Things are going pretty good. I’m struggling with the weight thing but still driving towards my goal. I am going to start the conversion of the vinyl to digital within the next few weeks although it is going to take a long time for sure.

 

In less than a month we will be on vacation and it cannot come soon enough. I am so looking forward to the cool crisp air of the mountains, the breeze cutting through the leaves, and the sound of rushing water through the valleys. It will be great to see my family in Ohio as well. I haven’t seen them for 2 years and it will be a time of laughter and sarcasm for all to enjoy.

Horror

My first time to Halloween Horror Nights will be tonight. I know nothing about the place and am very excited. It’s damn expensive though! I better get 50 dollars worth of fear from these greedy geeks in costume. Work is pretty chill today after some hectic ones. I really enjoy my iPod and listen to it for at least 4 hours everyday here in the office. We are scheduled to move locations in less than a month and I’ll have my own office. I’m very excited about that.

 

This weekend Angie has friends coming in that we are entertaining. That usually means more of me having too much to drink and being the one man show. At least the pictures always turn out good.

Yo

What a weekend! Angie and I pulled almost a 24 hour stint as we broadcasted 6 hours of music over OGR from club Fuel. It was an awesome night and we had a lot of fun. Pictures are up on my site for any of you interested.

 

So what’s new? Lots of stuff going on right now actually. I have weekend plans for the next 5 weekends in a row, culminating with a vacation back to one of my favorites places ever: The mountains of western North Carolina. I am so excited about my vacation that it makes my days seem slower. We also have a free pass to go back to Sea World anytime we want through the rest of this year.

 

During the month of November I think I’m only at work for about 1.5 weeks total. I cannot wait as it has been a long time since I had a break from here. Things are going good though, as I am learning more and making some more progress in reforming some of the existing data structures. I have some challenging things ahead of me and it will require a lot of very intense learning which is something I welcome. Knowledge has always been one of my favorite things.

 

I purchased a new toy for the studio. You can see pictures of it on my website. I have developed a long term plan for djing that hopefully I will start on soon. I cannot wait!

The Plan

After purchasing a new CD Deck and realizing how much I love to stay current with music, and that most of the music I really enjoy may never get pressed to vinyl, I came up with the following plan/goal for myself:

 

-        Starting within the next week, I am going to begin the process of moving the records that I want onto my hard drive. I have plenty of room there for them, and they would be ripped into a smooth, cd sounding mp3 file. This process will take a long time because I have 600 records and about 450 of them I would want to rip.

-        After I rip all the vinyl, I am going to sell them along with my two turntables and keep the cdjs. I am then going to purchase the Technics Digital Tables (slz-1200). The money from the sale of the vinyl and turntables will more than pay for the cost of the digital decks. Then my studio from a performing dj perspective will be complete. I will then look to seriously upgrade my keyboard and get a good drum machine.

 

I am very excited about making this happen J

Sleepless Joy

Well I haven't been sleeping good. I don't know if it is because I've been so busy or because I have so much on my mind. I have slept about 7 hours in the past two days and the loss of slumber is definitely weighing on my perception of reality and alertness.

I have worked out now for almost a week straight and I'm sore enough to know that I am basically as "out of shape" as one can legally be. It's sad because I really used to be in amazing shape. I look at pictures of myself 4 years ago and cannot believe how much different I look. However what I realize, is that during those days it was my job to be in shape. Now, with no one making me do it, it has become almost impossible.

I just keep thinking about the vacation coming up and some time off. I think that I really need to get away and enjoy some time in nature.

Chillin

What a relaxing weekend. I spent the entire weekend by myself which is something I haven’t done in a seriously long time. I actually rented movies by myself for the first time ever. I spent a lot of time in thought about my life and what I’ve done and haven’t done. I sat out on the porch and drank whiskey and smoked cigars thinking of memories and things to come.

 

Life is so short and it is such an important thing for me to feel like I’ve lived a full life. Regret and remorse are things I cannot live with. The weather was very nice this weekend. It was hot as hell during the day which is typical, but about 5 pm things cooled off and there was a great breeze. I am so looking forward to the fall season here and cooling of the temps.

 

I’ve been doing a lot of really deep thinking about where I am right now in my life. There are still several things I want to change about myself or improve upon. These are things that have bugged me for a long time and I’m just now beginning to understand some of the foundations behind them.

 

Without a doubt, the hardest thing any human will do throughout their lifetime is learn to love themselves and accept themselves. It is the quest of self that yields both the greatest heartaches and rewards. Most people choose to focus on others rather than themselves. It is always easier to shoot someone else down.

 

I’m really looking forward to our vacation in November. I haven’t had a decently long break yet this year and I sincerely need one.

Digital

I ordered a dual deck cd-j so I can continuously play new music on the show and stuff. I got tired of only having one cd deck as most of the music I am getting now is in mp3 format. I will now be able to consistently put out new music and mixes because I can go from cd to cd. I’m really excited about it.

 

In the future you will probably see me moving away from vinyl altogether. Although it is still the medium of choice for a lot of djs, the technology is now surpassing it so badly that many of the bigger artists use digital media only. It is smaller, cheaper, easier to transport, and lasts longer.

 

I have a very relaxed weekend planned. I’ve been on the go like crazy so it will be nice to catch up with some studio work and sleep. I’ll be back at it again next weekend so it will be nice to take a little break starting today.

Updates

So what’s new in my life?

 

      Went to Sea World and a Luau at the Polynesian Resort this weekend. Both were amazing and pics are up on my website. Actually I now have over 600 pictures up on my site so if you haven’t looked in a while, snap to it and get caught up. There will be new pictures added weekly and with all of the things coming up, I’ll have over a thousand in no time.

 

      Work is much busier now than it was when I first made the blog earlier this year. I am working on two or three different things at a time and I finally feel like I’ve got a steady stream of stuff going on. I am still going to try the side job doing simple PC maintenance and repair to see if I can make some extra money.

 

      I am very excited about the trips that Angie and I have planned. We are going on an 11 day road trip the first week of November and have several long weekends planned before then. I can’t wait to actually take a real vacation this year and detach from all the day to day life stuff. I also can’t wait for the weather to change.

 

That’s all from base camp.

Seppie

I don’t know what the reason is, but 2005 has been one of the fastest years I can remember. Maybe that is a sign of me getting older because I always hear those older than me say things like “Wow where did the last 5 years go” and “They just keep getting faster!”

 

I am still addicted to the hurricane footage. I can’t believe the amount of devastation and suffering that is going on in that region of the country right now. It is absolutely amazing to see the power of nature like that.

 

I miss the Mustang sometimes but not as much as I thought I would. The Camry is so much smoother and quieter. I can’t wait to have another performance car but for now I feel fortunate to have something as economic and practical as the Camry. Now that it has the 12s in it, the bass at least helps it a little.

Storm of all Storms

While not the most powerful storm to ever hit the United States, I think Katrina will be the costliest and perhaps even the most deadly. Even the Galveston “no-named” storm and the infamous Labor Day storm do not compare to the devastation brought by this hurricane which ironically, fell on my 27^th birthday.

 

I have always been enthralled by nature but there is something about the sheer size and power of a hurricane of this size that is hypnotic to say the least. I find myself constantly watching videos and reading the accounts of what happened. The stories of heroism and sadness are both extremely abound. I cannot imagine what it would be like to see that kind of water rise in such a large area. We humans are truly no match for anything mother nature has to offer.

 

I remember in 2001 when I played baseball in Iowa--the Mississippi flooded 18 feet above normal levels. This resulted in extreme flooding of about 5 blocks of the riverfront sector. At one point, water was almost 6 feet deep. This is nothing compared to what New Orleans, Gulfport, and Biloxi are facing.

 

It couldn’t have happened in a worse spot either. Almost 30% of the people in that part of the country live in poverty and could not get out by their own means. These people literally were waiting for their deaths. What kinds of thoughts go through their minds during a situation like that? What could they be thinking as they watched the waters rise? What were their last statements? How do you say goodbye to someone in that situation?

 

There are just too many questions in a situation like this. It is almost surreal how much damage has been done, and the waters are still rising. You couldn’t wish this on anyone..

Sir Podalot

Oh man do I love this iPod. In my first two days, I’ve put 9 gigs worth of music on it. The sound is amazing, the options are endless, and I flat out love it! I should have about 15 gigs on it when it’s all said and done. That is only music too; I’ll be putting a lot of data and pictures on it.

My birthday ended up being awesome. I had a great day overall despite some temporary drama. I am excited about this weekend (going home to Fort Myers). We may be going over to Ft Lauderdale to a casino and making complete asses out of ourselves. That is the best way to live I say.

Here's the Pod in it's protective case so no one is mean to it. I am addicted to my Pod. Woot Woot!

The Big 27

Today is my 27^th birthday. I am going through a lot of emotions but the vast majority of them are good. To this point I have had an immensely fortunate life, with excellent support from both my family and friends. I have graduated from an excellent college, played professional baseball, and lived in some very different parts of our country. I have a good job and love the city I live in. My family is amazing and they have always been behind me no matter what has happened.

 

I have so many amazing people in my life. I feel very blessed to have such good friends and people that genuinely help me to be a better person. Lately things have been up and down with me selling the Mustang and Rio and me going through our tribulations. I think now that things should start to mellow out and I can focus more on being the person that I want to be.

 

My new website is awesome. I can’t wait to put an insane amount of pictures on it. I am very much looking forward to really keeping the site fresh with new music and content.

 

Slowly but surely I can put all of the elements together now: Music, Me, and Traveling. I feel very enlightened today and I’m looking forward to becoming the person I’ve always wanted to be.

Swif Me

After balking at the idea, I am now a happy swiffer owner. This story follows a similar path as the pomade story. Incidentally, thanks to Rio I have actually gone into my third can of Pomade. I foresee lots of Pomade in my future until I get to the point where I feel comfortable shaving my head again.

 

The swiffer shall be a mainstay in my house from now on. It is affordable and very easy to use. I can’t believe I was still using a regular mop. Sometimes stubbornness can lead to more effort and I am cramped for time enough as it is.

 

So onward I swiff, and clean my floors shall be.

Protesting

Can someone on this earth please tell me why in the hell every protestor looks the same? Is there a rule that says

- Each person in protest must have a long beard, be very gangly and look as if they've spent the better part of the last decade living under a bridge in georgia.

No wonder no one listens to them.

Recording of Last Week's Show

Below is a recording of my show last week on the air. Enjoy!

Hour One
Hour Two

Soup

I love soup. I think somehow there is a soup strain in my DNA that activates and release large amounts of endorphins when I eat soup. Seriously I think I’ve averaged a can of soup per day for almost 2 months now. There is no sign of this delightfulness slowing down either.

 

Things are going well. I went home for the weekend and had a nice time. I didn’t get much sleep but still it was worth the drive. This week I don’t have too much going on yet, but things always seem to come up. I found a buyer for the Mustang and I think I’m going to sell it. I don’t drive it anymore and can’t really say that I will. The Camry is too easy to drive and has been such and excellent car thus far. My goals have not changed though: I still want to get another Mustang or performance car down the road.
