Destiny’s personal life takes a backseat to her career, but she’s got two best friends and a string of men to keep her satisfied. However, when she meets Taye Crawford, an independent financial advisor, at one of her own fantastic parties, Destiny finds herself moving in a direction she never anticipated.

This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become a DJ, explicates how to be highly successful as a DJ, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a DJ. While becoming a DJ may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a DJ. Much to the relief of prospective DJs, it is possible to become a DJ in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a DJ is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective DJ can follow to become a DJ is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a DJ. Disc jockey skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of March of 2022, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as DJs in the U.S. For instance, it is estimated that less than 14,800 work as DJs even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 332,000,000 people as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, less than .00445% of people in the U.S. are employed as DJs. This means that out of 22,433 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would work as a DJ as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than DJs in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more DJs, especially since they are able to render social events all the more exhilarating to attend for people who are eminently fond of music. People rely on DJs to educe a thrilling atmosphere at the venues of social events. DJs cherry-pick stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events in order to render the social events all the more exciting for people to attend who revel in listening to music. DJs are not only capable of cherry-picking stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events, but are also capable of producing their own music. When song selections are egregiously abysmal at social events, then this can render them unexciting for people to attend and can detract from their fun factor if people do not feel compelled to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is not banal, unstimulating, and insipid, but is rather exhilarating, thrilling, and stimulating. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is compelling enough so that attendees of social events feel innately inclined to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should be receptive of the ambiance of the social events that they are playing recorded music at. A DJ should expeditiously revamp his playlist selection in the event that his current playlist selection receives unfavorable reception at a social event where he is playing recorded music at. People prefer for social events to serve as a metaphorical catalyst for allowing them to bask in having fun. Freelance DJs are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. DJs can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance DJs are able to customize their own schedule and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of DJs. Some of the ample disparate types of DJs encompass “radio DJs, mobile DJs, wedding DJs, and turntablists”. The competencies can vary from DJ to DJ. It would ultimately behoove a prospective DJ to explore the various DJ career paths so that he can ascertain what specific type of DJ career is the utmost befitting DJ career for him to be pursuant of for years on end. A wedding DJ’s role at wedding events can extend far beyond the ambit of him simply playing recorded music at wedding events. The tasks of wedding DJs can, for instance, involve playing recorded music at wedding events, providing sound equipment at wedding events, providing lighting equipment at wedding events, and accommodating the music preferences of the newly married couple of a wedding event.

Book excerpt: Although the surface thread is autobiographical, "Local DJ" is much more an interwoven narrative on Rock ́n Roll culture from the late ́50 ́s through present times. Perspective is subjectively recounted by one who was both involved with and influential upon the music over an extended period. The presentation is structurally arranged as a mosaic of interrelated stories with substantial personal overview or, as more commonly referenced, "attitude." From the earliest days of Elvis through Z-Rock in the '90's, 'Local DJ" travels through time and space with instinctive grace. Sacramental with sin. A lifeweb spin. "Of all who had a major influence on me while growing up in the Midwest, none matched the audaciousness, tenacity and gonzo-like behavior of Peter Cavanaugh. He was more than just the rock 'n roll guru who gave America its first encounters with The Who, Bob Seger and all the great Detroit bands (Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, MC5, etc.) He was the one who taught me how to go up against the powers-that-be and live to tell all. Thank you, Peter Cavanaugh, for saving a generation of Flint kids from the likes of Pat Boone" ---- MICHAEL MOORE --"Bowling For Columbine"/"Fahrenheit 9/11" Please visit www.wildwednesday.com
