Personal Narrative: Being A DJ

Superior Essays
Turning around and focusing on the crowd, I slipped on my headphones again, and blocked out every single thought that tried to worm its way in my head. I practically lost myself as I really did give these ponies a time of their life: I cranked up the volume and bass, though not to distorted levels, and improvised a sick remix to go with the track that was playing; and it worked out to say the least. There wasn’t any thought of her at all, only doing what I do best: Being a DJ.

Rocking the it all to smithereens, I gave one final, slow beat when the song ended, and, during it, dimmed the spotlights to make it completely dark, only to dim them back up again. That’s when everypony clapped and cheered, even whistling at me for the grand performance. I stood up on

How’ve you been?”

“Doing just fine. What’s it to you?”

Swirly got up off the ground and flew to me. When she landed, she said, “Look, I know you hate me, and I totally get that, I do, it’s just—”

“Can you blame me? You ended what we had, Swirly. We were together for almost six bucking years, and you were willing to throw that out the window? And for what? Some lame excuse that would be best for me to chase my dreams lone?” My chest panted heavily, and my teeth were scrunched up, even grinding themselves.

“You were going to be some distance away. Can you blame me if I didn’t want to go on with us?”

“It’s not about how far away you are from the pony you love, it’s about how close you are to the pony you love.”

“I didn’t know it would be like that,” Swirly said, her voice soft, and putting a hoof on me, only to have it shoved off. “I said I was sorry.”

“Yeah, well ‘sorry’ ain’t gonna cut it.”

“Are you so different? You walked out on me, and I haven’t seen you since then. If anything, you should blame yourself.”

I slammed a hoof against the stage. “You know, you better watch out, because you’re starting to sound real smart.” My tone was furious, and anger flooded my entire

    He was filled up with emotions, kind of hiding his face from me, but I caught sight of a tear rolling down his face, and he quickly wiped it away. "Let's get going, it's getting late." He said and I fallowed behind until we found a road and that road lead us to what appeared to be a set of cabins. The sun was about to set, and I was exhausted, I couldn't take it anymore. "…

    It gets stupidly hot in Danielsville, Louisiana, especially around summer. This would be fine I guess if we had something to do, to keep our mind off of the heat but there isn’t anything to do. Danielsville, Louisiana has three churches (Pentecostal), twice as many bars, one high school and no books stores or libraries. This means you’re either too drunk to read, or too Christian to read anything good. Big enough to have a mayor’s house, but not big enough to be on any map of any kind, it’s the kind of town where everyone knows your name and basically everything about you.…

    “You do realize I’m dropping you off, once I’m out of this damn cave?” I state, still not wanting him to accompany me to Scelestus City.

    My response to this selection is that Hornak made right decision, even though it took her long time to realize, but it would be hard for me If I were to change my career. It would be hard for me because I know I spent a lot time to study and it costs me a lot too. But I personally believe that we all need money, but I would also want to pick the major that I would enjoy in and which would make me proud. For instance, I like to help others…

    Ever since Salvatore's Bar & Grill opened its doors, Stefan Salvatore always felt that he was more serious about the business than his partner and older brother Damon. Not to say that Damon did not work, because he did, but most of the time he was trying to also have a good time. Almost daily Damon was giving out shots on the house and joining in with the crowd while Stefan could be found in the office most of the time. It probably didn't help that Damon's girlfriend (who also worked there) was Stefan's ex-girlfriend. Sure, time had passed and Stefan felt like for the most part he had moved on, but he often felt awkward to be around them unless he had to.…

    Louis was almost too fixated to notice that Harry had sat down on his mattress opposite Louis. The green eyed lad just sat there for a moment, every now and again his mouth opening, then shutting again as if trying to spit out the words which were obviously on the tip of his tongue. “Do you want to talk about what happened? I’ve heard that talking through things makes it better, we could try that?”…

    Making It to the Big Time I am Vincent Crabtree. When I was a freshman in High School, I participated in an activity called “Winter Percussion”. It was much like marching band, but it took place during the winter and spring season, and it featured a smaller ensemble composed mostly of percussive instruments. Throughout the season, we had practice almost nightly, working to put together a show that would be performed in competition with other drumlines.…

    A major life lesson that I have learned is how to be careful of the things I say. I am sure that in one way or another, many people have heard a story about watching their words. For me, this was expressed through a dollar bill. When I was in fifth grade, our class had a counselor from a nearby middle school come over and share a few words with us. I will confess, at the time I wore the brand of a “gifted child” and as such, I was almost always bored in the classroom.…

    Over the course of this past summer I have had the opportunity to attend numerous live shows ranging from the traditional deep southern sounds of bluegrass, to the stylistic hard and raw sounds of rock and roll. Standing apart from all the rest, a new up and coming Indie Pop band, put on quite literally the greatest show I’ve ever seen. At that concert I experienced a feeling of true exhilaration. Nothing else can come close to the feeling right before they took stage, when the lights cut out, leaving everyone in absolute darkness and all you could hear was the manic roar of the awaiting crowd. The energetic opening acts; Cruisr and Joywave, both arising American Indie rock bands, certainly did their job of warming up the crowd for the main…

    A deep long sigh escaped my lip as I walked into the tunnel, which led to the player’s changing rooms. My eyes watched the spectators gather for what would surely be one of the greatest rugby matches in history. Each of their faces were filled with anticipation and eager for the match to begin but also many had sorrow in their eyes. The match would be one of the saddest matches too as people gathered to remember the coach that had supported so many players throughout their careers, Scott Evans. I placed my hands in my pockets pulling the presentation jacket over my body tightly.…
