i know exactly how that goes. sonce i am in the navy i am constantly on the run. since i have started spinning i have only had maybe 2 months of solid practicing. i get back and start up again after being away for a couple of weeks and it seems like i just started. it gets horrible. i am afraid to hear what i sound like when i get back after this six month deployment. i have been away from the game for awhile, and now i have to start from scratch. i am going to have someone help me, that is how confident i am that i am going to be horrible. I have been in there and cut my teeth though. after i had a good 2 months of practicing i went to a house party and "cut my teeth" they let me spin for half an hour and it was filled with mistakes. i was pretty nervous since it was my first time spinning anywhere for anyone. some trance DJ showed up and spun for 3 or 4 hours while i got some beer in me. i came back on later that night and did just fine. no mistakes and i actually had people asking me for tapes. i didn't do anything special, just mixed cleanly. people there hadn't heard any of the records before since it was techno and i was in a house city, so i think that is why i sparked some interest.
