Today is a random show...just recovering from two weeks of major transitions in my life and according to astrology, many people have been making major transitions. I say, better to make the changes, or at least try...instead of dragging people through your misery from inner stagnation:)

I have been thinking a lot recently about how to be "present" and what that means...and more importantly why I am often not "present" enough.  I believe I have discovered part of the answer.  There are times, when it is straight up painful to be present. So as with most things in life, being present is actually about learning how to not run from pain, anger, and  frustration. It's about knowing yourself enough to know what you are worth and accepting people for where they are at.  It's about learning to love yourself so that you can love other people.  It's about not taking someones nature, personally...it's about not being a victim of the vicious cycle of blaming others around you for your own insecurities and your own issues.  It's about feeling and being with that feeling no matter how heavy or painful it is.  It's yours. Own it.

 Hope you enjoy the show!

This week has been one of those weeks where comments that were made by adults around me as a kid all of sudden made perfect sense.  The weeks in between camp and school are turbulent, exhausting and frustrating.  There is my excuse for not doing the show today (or last week). Take it or not. I only have 10 minutes to post this so I can't spend any more time making you believe me:)

So...you have two choices, click on thru and come back next week, or go listen to one of my favorite mixes from DJ Qw35t!

Greetings loyal listeners...todays show will be delayed, technical difficulties and my 4 year old is sick.  Alas, do not wail, and let your temper flare, DJ Prof will be at 11:30, on the "air". Todays Lecture will be comprised of mash ups, hip hop, dance tracks, a little bit of jazz and funk and the kitchen sink.  Make sure to pay close attention but no need to take notes...there will not be a test. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!-Dj Prof
