We often get caught up in the negative parts of modern culture, but forget about the ppl who truly inspire us to appreciate the lifestyle that we take 4 granted. This is an Inspirational Series By Carles.
Meme hijack via whpths
I feel like a take a lot of shit for granted. Sparks, PBR, partying, listening 2 music, free mp3s from music blogs, Am Appy fitting me nicely, chillin on the internet for 70% of the week and a lot of other perks that I think are a ‘God given right.’ However, I recently saw a DJ bro who was spinning, despite not having any arms. His name is apparently Pascal Kleiman. He seems like a chill bro who just wants to spin some bangers/house, smoke cigs to look kewl while DJing, twist some knobs, filter some sounds, mix some levels, reach into his record bag, and just be a pretty bad ass bro in general. While he can’t do all of the things that fully-abled DJs can do, he has what it takes to bring the joy of love, music, and dance 2 people all around the world (kinda like a krappy MP3 blogger whose blog has a shittie layout and bad writing).
I think a lot of times we don’t view ‘being an authentic alt with a self-aware perspective’ as a gift, but I wish yall would realize that it is. We are fortunate to have our health, and our ‘abilitie 2 partie.’
Glad we’re finally out of the inauthentic ‘masked DJ’ gimmick phase. Sort of wonder if he spins bloghouse, or just guido Euro Techno house core.
(he seems like a chill bro)
This is the beginning of a new scene. Let’s start being positive and more appreciative of ‘the scene’ and let’s me more supportive of one another. Going to go hang up some D.I.Y. doodled fliers for an underground show this weekend.
WHAT R U THANKFUL 4?
WHAT DO U TAKE 4 GRANTED?

@woah, When your drunk you can ignore the random parts of your body creaking at odd times due to age/lack of exercise/poor nutrition….you can always take care of your health next year.

Impressive, but not much as a deaf DJ (fictional DJ Frankie Wilde via the film “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”).

i think im becoming to mainstreem just because i try not to be. kinda wish it wasnt so hard to be different. having no limbs is almost an advantage to being alt considering its not normal. if this guy didnt have arms he definatly wouldnt be as rad or succesful.

Hi Carles, I think it’s very rude for you to bring this DJ into spotlight, since your readers are expectedly making comments about how not having arms is being alt. While Mr. Kleiman is inspirational, there are so many things that he couldn’t do. It’s very shameful for you to pick on the handicapped people… I don’t like this new “let’s-be-positive” meme you’re trying to start, seems like it’s sarcastic and has some hidden agenda to push down disadvantaged people.

@Authentic, I agree. Usually, I play into this website because it’s funny as hell. This is just lame, because I see the sarcastic undertones–when this guy is legitimately inspiring. I have never once complained about something on here; but today I am.
You know though, all of the complaints will just be made fun of tomorrow–or a few blogs later. So, I don’t even know why I am saying anything now.

@chorles, smoking has gone totally mainstream.

This bro is definitely not as mnstrm as the bro from Deaf Leppard although that bro from the 80s is both deaf and ‘limbless’ making for a much more ‘relevant’ musician. probly not as ‘relevant’ though tbh
