Everyone starts out with shortcomings. No one is born with talent. Learning something you want to do is easier than ever with YouTube and the internet.

Think positive, take what you want.

Love yourself, The world’s a hard, strange place. Keep your chin up. Don’t hate yourself for what you were born into.

When I was in my early 20s, I read this poem And it stuck with me .

Desiderata - Words for Life Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Same here, I have an overactive thyroid gland slash grave disease. Have your thyroid tested?

Awesome, I don’t feel like a weirdo. Not that I cared. But I’ll wake up at 3 a.m. and eat peanut butter, Drizzled with honey.

Brothers from another mother… I fight ads daily … Been pretty lucky I stay away from TV. They keep trying, really all it’s done lately is forced me to go foss for most of my apps.

Pioneer ddj400

Where do I start first off it comes with record box, for better effects or features you have to buy a subscription . The knobs come off in your hand and are made out of plastic crossfader sucks made out of plastic buttons stick, pads stick. It’s just horrible

Years ago I owned a pioneer dgm 1000 the thing was built like a tank and held its value well. I sold it for something else about 3 years 4 years later and got the same price I paid for it…

I expected the pioneer 400 to at least be manufactured somewhat sturdy, and not feel like a Fisher Price toy…

Ended up finding a numark ns7Ii for a decent price.

Made out of metal, more buttons than you can shake a stick at very high quality. It’s almost 10 years old and nothing’s wrong with it…

The cheap pioneer mixerswill be E-Waste within a few years

I found a paper weight at Goodwill about 2 years ago, and haven’t seen one ad, and I have an email address for it that I can mail any file format. I have not had any issues… maybe because I was a late adopter?

I’m a huge book reader, and I love it,

While watching how much better AI has gotten at analyzing video, I got super creeped out, about surveillance used incorrectly.
