Comments from the heart.......

[Bling]

I know most of you were expecting yet another review and pics of insert dj and venue here.... but not this time....

Its not easy for a lot of people to be as open as I am especially on a public messageboard. Call it what you will, I consider you all more than my friends but my family as well. Expressing myself to you guys in this manner therefore comes across as natural and honest as I can possibly be.


First of all, it was great to see everyone come out to Nocturnal for Wink. Yes i was hungover from a nite of partying the nite before but i also was mentally and physically burnt out.

The past few weeks, especially this one,has been a difficult one to say the least. Uusally, enjoying myself on the weekends with everyone that I have come to love has been my escape from reality.

My reviewing in a way is an escape as well. I love to write plain and simple. I dont do it for the comps or the drink tickets I do it because I love writing.

I never used to listen to music of any kind when I was in high school or college. I studied . I studied my ass off to get to Law School and make myself and family proud, hung out with friends, went to movies..more laid back activities...

Though my attempt at law was a worthwhile effort, leaving Law school (the hardest decision I have ever made in my life), lead me to enter the work force and the club scene.

Its been 4 yrs now and I guess the old adage is true: "the more things change the more they stay the same."

All around me things change yet my situation remains pretty much stable... so to speak

I love writing for CJ and will continue to do so. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that people as far away as Peru reads my reviews (in this case Shawn Rudnick's fiancee)

But I am literally physically and mentally worn out.

My dad told me once.... " - Dont let the Parade march on by....."


I feel like in a way I am watching others live their lives and in a way.. I am vicariously living through them. It doesnt make much sense but sometimes it feels that way.

What will someone ever say of "bling" the "club legend"(as some of you jokingly refer to me as) .. how will my review go?

I have tried to live my life the best way I possibly could. Always shown respect towards others, always tried to avoid confrontations. always tried to put on as genuine a smile as I can.

I guess i can use the now cliched quote by Shawn Michaels (wwe wrestler). "i feel like ive lost my smile...... "


not too sound too melodramatic I should probably just end this here

I really just wanted to say. Thank you all tonite for asking me how I was, and seeing how I was feeling all nite. It shows me that I do have friends. And I appreciate that with all my heart.

I bet your all like. oh lord bling goes through one of these episodes at least 2-3 times a year. write this in a blog yada yada. Only doing it here because everyone I know will read this as opposed to blogs. (which I seldom read myself)

Whether its being burned out (physically, mentally) lonely. whatever. we all go through its called LIFE.. its how we deal with these situations that define us.

Nevertheless, its good to know that especially a few of you on this board I can call very close friends.


anyways, thanks for all the yrs of great memories! and all the good times ahead.

Daniel,

I met you through these boards and came to realize that you do what you do for the love of music and because you love to write...please do not let anyone on these boards make you feel any way other than what you should feel.

With all of the critics ready to critisize you...I have NEVER seen anyone take five minutes to do what you do.

Remember...'if there were no bad times...how would you know when the good arrive?

keep your chin up...

Bruce. (I never post my name)
