dattrax: Welcome Fellow House Friends! How are you? Are you working to better yourself? Are you working on your happiness?

The late and great comedian and philosopher, Patrice O\'Neal gave the best advice: "Your happiness should be your #1 priority." Once you take care of that or are in hot pursuit of that, then everyone you encounter will be blessed with your optimism, positivity, joy and ambition.

Fight the battles inside your mind daily. Win those battles and you\'ll be happy and nothing will be denied to you. Control your mind, your heart and your body and you\'ll change your life.

I\'m taking my own advice and not just spitting nonsense. Living with a vengeance. I\'m disciplining myself. Just finished a 74hrs fast. Going on a low-carb lifestyle. NOT diet, lifestyle. Going to not snack and use aggressive intermittent fasting called OMAD - One Meal A Day to work towards my goal of losing 30lbs by the end of June 2023 (We need to make goals specific, achievable and with a date). Been on a health kick since the end of Jan 2018. Going to do another 3-day fast in a few weeks. Just getting back into the swing of things.

Bought some new spring shoes, a new button-down shirt, and some other clothing items. Looking sharp when I go out. Got a fav cologne, Prada L\'Homme (original) and Intense. Been using it for the past few years. Find the things that make you feel great.

Reinventing myself for work in Digital Marketing, specifically SEO. Attending networking events and engaging in daily online interactions, new and old. Daily learning more and more through blog posts, LinkedIn posts, from good friends in my Digital Marketing Mastermind in the messaging app called, Slack, and YouTube. [Yes, I\'ve got tons of SEO & Chat GPT posts & videos marked). I"ll be up to date by the end of June].\\xa0

Thanks for listening to my fortune cookie rant. Back to the house music because this is where house music rests and thrives.


Thank you for stopping by and taking a listen. I appreciate you for that.

There aren\'t many guarantees in life, but I guarantee that you\'ll LOVE this 3.5hr journey of house music bliss. You can fight it, but that smile will creep on your face and stretch from ear to ear. You\'ll start to nod up and down to this hypnotic rhythm. You might even move and dance.

It took over a month to find the tracks in this new session!! Bought 53 new tracks from Traxsource and got a bunch of free tracks from download links from videos by this YouTube channel that I recently found, Child of House (Check them out). Lots of cool house bootlegs, especially some fantastic Sade tracks. Anything with this Goddess sounds great with a four-four beat. Probably take another month to get through this channel\'s videos.

The process is all the fun. The journey in different areas of my life creates joy. It makes the struggles less painful and the good things more wonderful.

All the best to you. Till another time.

1997 at 9am on a Sunday at Comfort Zone. I was 23yrs old and 135lbs. Had a full head of hair. LMAO!!
My friend Dennis took this pic from an actual hand-held camera and not a cell phone.

We met that year when he came in on a Sunday morning at 8am from Industry Niteclub with a dozen friends. The happiest group that I had met that weekend. I was managing at 7West Cafe finishing a shift. I had been there for four years at the time. Stayed for a decade. Lol

He asked if I could play his new cassette tape by some no-name DJ from Chicago called DJ Sneak. LMAO.

I was like, "Who TF is Sneak??!". Hilarious!
(Been loving DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter and Doc Martin ever since that year).
That INSANE house music tape was the now famous "Green Bush" mix!! Sneak\'s first tape in Toronto I believe.
*Bought my first Derrick Carter cassette tape that year, "Dialog" - one of my fav!!

Denny and I have been friends ever since then. 26yrs have gone by in a flash. Just reconnected in July of 2018.

All tracks bought from https://www.traxsource.com/ and https://www.beatport.com/ + the "Child of House" YouTube channel

This mix was created on a Native Instrument\'s "Traxtor Kontrol S4" controller MK3 version, a crappy PC laptop, and sometimes, we\'ll additionally use two Stanton 150 direct drive turntables with Traxtor\'s control vinyl records. That\'s the best for maximum fun and tactile feel and control.
