im 32.

ive been producing and playing keys for a long time, but i just got my first turntable this last christmas.

get er done, is what i says.

I'm thirty-five; I used to be "old for my age", now I'm "young for my age".

One nice thing about making music/art is that generally age has nothing to do with it. It's about the quality of what you produce (or at least it should be).

I'm ridin' the baby boomer bellcurve, born during the first Eisenhower administration. And, for all the changes I've seen in my life and my city - people are still people. And, I'm still a kid from Brooklyn.



Ok - before this starts reading like an AOL profile... And, no more self-pics.

examples/reasons?

Examples: Gang Starr.
reasons: It's like watching children learning how to walk. But these children are being paid to advocate violence, intolerance and insolence. I could go on but it's depressing.

IRTTOP: 30 is good. That means you have something to contribute other than fake tits, tight abs or your glock. Welcome

Ajbbklyn - I see you decided at a young age that your left side is your photogenic side.

LOFA - Gangstarr is a band, Guru is a rapper. I guess DJ Premier might be an older dude too. I'm sure you know that, just sayin...


"that's funny, I don't feel tardy" is my reply to the age thing, 'cause you'd have to be around 35 like me to get the reference. I feel more like a kid who's been around the block a few times.

I might add this to my signature,,,,
It describes me to a tee.

just a point of correction, maynard is in his 40s now. He was in his late 20s when tool started getting national attention

Now that I'm a dinosaur (30) too, I can say I dreaded the years 15-30. Thirty is like the new 18. It's like you're not supposed to act like a jackass anymore so you do things more purposely. While that may be a drawback, I think it's only when you let it.

I started getting into the digital end of music less than 5 years ago, though I did other variations before that. If I saw myself back then I would have had little patience for them.

So what I'm trying to say is there is always an audience. PM when you got something your proud of. I look forward to it.

uhhhh... perfect circle then i knew he was in his forties the last time i saw them... and he fuckin rocked...

Hell yeah, age matters a ton. Anybody under forty is a punk ass.

i'm 20 but feel like 40..

any idea how much i hate comments like that? A lot. Nevertheless i suppose its true for many students and so on. There is a lot of pressure on us but one thing i don't have in common with most is that i can drop the stress to around 0 by composing and working with the music

On top of that:

Every morning i wake up now i feel fresher and look better. Interesting!
How? Weight lifting, drinking a good amount of water, eating healthier, biking a moderate amount etcettera.

It fucking works!

I don't think its ever to late to start that even, so just get going and you'll quickly get more energy and be fresher. Heck i think my required amount of sleep has dropped a few hours

So just get working out. Its not a hoax heh

doesn't matter, you're still a punk ass

hell yeah!

Ah well, i'll always be around this age for the rest of my life i suppose

A part of you certainly will, better hope it's your dick.
