Sweet Serendipity

It's so weird lately! It seems like everything I talk about with people comes through in one way or the other... Good or bad.

For an example of the bad... Some of my German-school classmates & I talked about tickets on the U-Bahn & danged if I didn't get one the very next day! I was running late to look at an apartment & didn't even think of getting a ticket to ride.

In SF the first ticket is $117... or was when I got one. The 3rd one gets up to oh-my-unf*ing-believeable expensive... You definitely don't want to jack with that dog. Well. The bright side is it's only 40 euros in Berlin. No matter how man times. Unless you let 3 go unpaid. Could be sooo much worse. Also, the ticket-writing guys were really nice to me about my ticket. Especially considering I was not carrying proper ID.

Well. This AM I was looking at the weekend & thinking I would go see this one DJ who used to live in SF who I booked before. He's got skills. But. I was feeling shy about going there. I don't know why.

Then. l was starving after class & went to this place a friend recommended. I looked up & saw a smile & a laugh. That guy I was going to go see on Sunday was right there. I swear I thought of him a bunch today & there he was!

I just had the best time talking to him & a mutual lovely friend. I'm reminded of what it means to be an American... an American living in Berlin. It's weird how seeing someone from SF who has been through a lot of what I have been through meant to me.

The universe is screaming at me loud & clear... Get out there! I'm really looking forward to seeing my old friends again this weekend and the next.

I truly feel blessed.

Back In School

I am back in school. German school. It's pretty intense. 3 hours per day 5 days/week plus 90 minutes of homework every day. I am really enjoying it though. My professor has mad scientist hair (think Albert Einstein). He's completely fluent in smart ass in both German & English. When he told us it was time for a break I was blown away. I will say that I am definitely tired at the end of class every day. The brain workout is something.

Somehow, being in German school is really good for my music production & music production helps me with my German school. Don't ask me how!

In  > 4 months I can have my B1 which means I can work anywhere in the world that requires German fluency.

Yes I am. I am going to be successful at languages, music production, & DJing all at the same time. Don't ask me how I am going to pull this off. I know I am going to be seriously tired but it's the good tired. I am very very determined though.

For six years all I have wanted was to live in Berlin & be fluent in German. For 11 years I've wanted to make fabulous music.

Now is my chance & I want to make the most of it. I am living my dream :-)

new DJ Set: In - 23 April 2015

I can't believe I haven't posted this yet. Doh! My music is evolving towards a new direction. I hope you like it as much as I do :-) Berlin is definitely making me very happy
