what's a hedge fund?

well i just interviewed for one today. they're mysterious aren't they?...1 billion dollar funds. 200 million kept by the fund. 50m or so in performance fees payed out to the employees; but it's not about the money for me. i just want to learn. you do what you love, and if you do it well, money will come. i'm sure of that. that's just how things work. you do well and you're compensated for it. people want to hire the best, that is, unless you're a DJ in LA. even if you fking suck you'll be brought on.

thank you @shitdj for giving me a heads up on where not to go on certain nights. it really is annoying to hear bad music played poorly. it sucks that good djs don't spin locally anymore since they're all traveling. these fucking amateurs are something else, and i call it like i see it. but my opinion is my opinion and it's not more valuable than anyone else's. However, I always feel i can objectively state whether or not someone and his/her skills blow cock, both literally and figuratively.

am i a dj? no. would i ever dj? no, because i fucking suck and would never provide such a disservice to the los angeles community.

please, don't practice, just stop.
