backbreaker
Master Don Juan
I'm not what you woudl call a religious person but i do know my bible as I grew up in church. I believe in god, just not the one in the christian faith or any faith for that matter.
However there are stories in the bible that resonate with me to this day and I have always thought the most underrated story in the bible, and the one that really applies to DJism the most, is the story of Joseph with his coat of many colors.
For those of you not familiar with the story, Joseph was a god fearing child / kid, with some brothers that hated him because he was his father's (jacob) favorite son. So his dad gave him this sweet ass coat that had all these different colors (this is obviously the backbreaker version of the bible lol)
To make a long story as short as possible, the older brothers, all hated on him and got him sold into slavery in Egypt. Joseph never cursed god and god gave Joseph a gift, which was to interpret dreams. One day the pharoh asked Joseph to interpret a dream for him about some ****, and he got it right and Joseph got elevated eventually to basically be the guy right below the pharoah
Then like, 15 years later while he's running ****, these dudes come there to Egypt from their homeland asking for some food and **** because they don't have any and Jopeh recognized them instantly as his older brothers but they dont' know who he is. He revels his identity to them and they go get their dad and they have this reunion and he's able to save the foreign city because he is in a position of power to give out food to them
there is a girl involved that tried to screw him somewhere in the story but i can't remember what happened off the top of my head. she went all BPD on him and lied to him saying he tried to rape her and he didn't.
That story hits home to me because you know, i can relate to him. Not being in slavery, but I mean, suffering for apparently no reason. He LOvED god. He believed in god. Moreno than any of his brothers. and this is how he was repayed, sold into slavery, some of the best years of his life "wasted" in slavery. can you imagine that ****? And moreso, can you imagine that entire time, never giving up hope. Your brothers are the ones that sold you into slavery and theyare back home pimping it up, having wives, eating good, got kids and all that. here you are in a cave, taking orders.
You know the entire time, he probably cried, pleeded, begged, to GET OUT and GO HOME. I know i would. WHY am i here. WHY CAN'T I GO HOME.
It took me some years to realize that for Joseph to reach his true potential, he had to be put through hardships that others around him were not able to stand. It takes a man among men to be able to endure that and still have faith. God knew that, that's why he had to be the one to do it.
I remember when i was 19-21 years old and single. I begged, pleaded, cried, bargained, did everything i could with god at the time, to just have a social life. I had gotten to the point i was so lonely, that I was even past a girlfriend at the time, I Just wanted a life. I had none. I was lonely, I wanted to kick it like my friends. But I was starting a business. and you know what, today the best thing that ever happened to me is god not listening to a damn thing I said lol.
If I got what i wanted, i would not be where i am today. If I got what I wanted, if i got a girlfriend before my business took off, she takes up too much of my time for my business to really take off. If I start having more of a social life before my business takes off i'm not at home on Friday night working on ****, I'm at at the club drinking.
To get what I ultimately wanted, my business to succeed, there are some things that I eugenically deserved, that I had to endure without.
That's what got me over my bitterness about how i was treated when i was in my teens/ early 20's by the opposite sex. Because them not giving me attention allowed me to be able to focus on what was most important to me.
When you chase dreams, if you are ambitious at all there are always unforeseen consequences in the quest of your dreams. Sometimes, you are delayed things that you desperately WANT so that you can do what NEEDS to be done.
In due time I got everything I wanted. Plates, hot ass plates. I got the business taken off, I got the kick ass social life. And now that I had money i could REALLY kick it like i wanted to.
I don't know what i'm really trying to say i just felt it's something I had to say. Hang in there. I've been there. There are times when you feel unjustly wronged. Like everyone around you is balling and kicking it and you suck. There is a reason for that, it's up to you to take advantage of it. Im' a guy, I get it, I like women, I like women's company, but a DJ has more important things on the horizen and sometimes, women can and will get in the way of that.
