What an Amazing Night!

There are some nights that you spend with friends that make you feel like everything is ok, like the cosmic tumblers has clicked into place and that the moment is just for you and your friends. Tonight was one of those nights. 

What started as wings and beer with my room mate Jacob turned into a bonfire with my other room mate Christopher and our good friend Murdoc (which isn’t his real name… at least not yet).

Jokes, talks about movies and music including really interesting tricks trombone players can do to play three notes at the same time, and some of the best hookah smoke we’ve ever shared.

I’m going to miss all this as my Portland living experience comes to a close in just a matter of days now. I’ll be visiting my sister in and family in San Antonio for my sister’s college graduation, helping her pack up and move and then I’m spending the majority of the month of may with my family. From there I’ll becoming back to Portland to start packing up, getting my life in order and moving back to my old home in the bay area.

My DJ career will have far more support there as I’ll have my own studio/office space, more DJing friends and venues I’m familiar with. It will also be easier to plan events and nights with them where we can make big things happen. Starting a promotions company with people I know and trust in the Bay Area DJ scene just seems like a smarter move. 

Truthfully I am really excited about the move, even though it means leaving a city I love and friends who I adore. But once I get things together a bit more, get some money together, I’ll be able to come and visit for holidays and the like. I’m also very excited to be living on my own again. Having room mates is nice for nights like tonight when things flow the way they should, but there are some times when things get tense, and it’s hard to walk on egg shells for that long.

After my health/cancer scare and sickness issues my doctors came to the conclusion that part of why I was so ill was the pressure of living with people. When that all comes to a close life will be much easier. 

There are other reasons I can’t wait to move. Certain relationships I want to rekindle, and friendships that I want to reinvest in fully. I miss my buddy Sean, my family and the ever lovely and amazing Grape Soda (yes that’s a person, she’s fantastic). 

Expect a lot more mixes on my DJ tumblr and more vlogs to start up again. Things should be back to normal in no time.

The Official DJ Kento Website

Having moved to PDX a few weeks ago, I am now on a rebranding mission. I am dedicated to getting my career as a DJ going as a full time job and to do that I needed to have a site where everyone could come and easily see where I am and who I am and what I’m about. To that end I’ve created DJKento.com, a site where I’ll be able to put my dates, mixes, images, tweets and so forth all together in one spot.

In fact even this blog, my Tumblr will be a portion of the site where I will be able to comment on the world of EDM and it’s culture as well as post tracks that I’m really into and more. 

I really hope that you’ll all explore what the site has to offer and be aware that it’s currently under construction and that many of the features are not yet online. The background is temporary as is the  description and more.

There’s still a lot of work that I need to pour into it and I will over the coming days. Also if you’re seeing this reblogged be sure to follow djkento.tumblr.com for more of these blogs and more info.

Big Day Ahead… early to bed… early to rise.

Tomorrow is a very big day for me. I have a very important performance to put on and it’ll be my first big return to DJing in years, probably since I moved into this house. I hope it goes well and that everyone is receptive. I’ve been practicing for pretty much 2 weeks straight. Here’s hoping! 

Dearest Followers,

If you find me boring, unfunny, or if I simply do not entertain you in the way that you would like, then please feel free to unfollow me. I don’t need you whining and bitching and complaining about how I’m not up to your standards of what a person on Tumblr should be. I’m not here for you. I’m here for me. I write because writing makes me happy. I use it as a way to promote my work on The72Pins.com and my personal life. I don’t document my dating life problems, my addiction to food, my OCD about taking my photo every day or my love of video games to entertain you. I do it for me. 

Understood? I simply do not care if I’m not what you want me to be. I’m what I want to be and that’s what matters. I suggest you do the same. Don’t post a blog for others… post it for you. If you’re not doing that, then why do it?

If You Know Me… Or Date Me…

Chances are I will write about you at some time. That’s a part of a post that I meant to talk about yesterday. I wrote about my ex and how she called me a monster for the way I acted. She also decided to attack how I call myself a child in a man’s body. What’s funny is that she had a huge fear that I would one day leave her and get back with my ex Liz, aka Poppy Kwee Kwee. I explained that there was no way in hell that would ever happen… Then in  drunken stupor Lizz decided to call me. 

What made that phone call better than anything in the world was that Lizz actually told me how in love with me she was and how I was the one she always wanted. Take in mind that this was while my at the time gf was visiting from out of town and was going to be in town for another few days. There’s more to what Lizz was going through that phone call and Lizz is now 100% clean and sober and doesn’t do these kinds of things. BUT at the time it sent me into a whirlwind of emotions.

Do I love Lizz still? Of course I do. She’s amazing. Honestly, she’s one of my all time favorite people ever. We talk every day, we have nicknames for each other, we fight and always come back to our friendship because we understand each other. She’s the best girlfriend I had over the past five years and even though our relationship was short, I adore her… but I pushed through this aggressive attack at my emotions and stayed true to my at the time girlfriend. I got off the phone with Lizz and everything was fine.

Well everything would have been fine anyway. Lizz doesn’t even remember the event as she was in a black out drunk state after an incident involving an ass hole, her emotions and alcohol. It was by no means a way to restart a relationship even if I had kicked out my at the time girlfriend right the hell out my front door. 

But that was all a tangent and wasn’t the main point of this blog. The main point of this blog is that if I know you, date you, hang out with you, talk to you, then I’ll write about you. I guess I have to say that now. Hundreds of videos blogs, hundreds of personal entries on my previous blog and facebook weren’t enough for my ex. She was surprised that I’d have written about her at all. Suddenly when I tell you my life is an open book you don’t understand that I mean it? I literally am writing down my life page by page. Now do you really want to read it?
