ozone333's blog: "Owen.. the man behind the music.."

well.. Lately I have been very busy. My finances are suffering so I have been trying to book extra gigs to fill in the broke spots... lol Earlier today I booked a gig from a friend of mine to do some of my trade stuff at a persons home for a few hours... this gig will help me get back on track with some bills that need to be paid. Earlier this week I got another class to teach.. this one is called "Structured Cabling" and happens on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 1pm at the AT&T facility in North Hollywood... I am already teaching a "Basic Electricity / Digital Electronics" class at the AT&T facility in Pasadena on Saturdays... :) Busy busy busy... seems like when it rains it pours... lol Thank god I have friends that hook me up with extra money gigs to help out... :)

I'm known as ozone333 by my fans and Owen by my friends... and I have a lot of friends! :) Basically, I spun vinyl in the Boston club scene for many years in the 80's.. as a DJ. In 1989 I moved to California for a fresh start.. I planned on continuing to spin music, but found myself participating in a twelve step program within one month of my arrival on February 14th 1989... For the next 4 years I was the DJ for most of the huge San Fernando Valley sober events... not exactly my plan... but at least I was still getting paid and having fun.. lol Somewhere along the way... I began programming electronic dance music in my home studio... I released a bunch of albums on MP3.com but basically I wasn't really being noticed as an artist by the RIGHT people... In 2005 after creating a myspace account from a suggestion by one of my friends... I was discovered by a music supervisor of MTV.. My music was placed into "The Real World", "Road Rules", "Extreme Challenge", "Inferno II", and "The Gauntlet" reality tv shows.. Since then.. my music has escalated with a fan base on myspace of over 7000 people... I'm still a starving artist... lol.. and I still have to work at a "REAL JOB" as my X used to call it... Presently, I teach Fiber Optics to members of the telecommunications industry and hang out a lot at home ... here on Cherry Tap! I'm hooked on BBW's especially... but I like all women... That's me.. ozone333 Check out my music at http://www.ozone333.com and buy an album at CD Baby or direct in MP3 format from ME.. :D Owen "ozone333 Electronic music" PS.. I'll celebrate 18 years of sobriety on March 10th 2007... Yeahhh!

so I'm thinking... what do I do now? I have been a "real" teacher for a college... for the last year, and now I teach fiber optics for a trade/tech school.. Should I find some more work and teach some other types of classes.. or should I sign up for school, and go to college to get my bachelors degree? My goals are to open my own school teaching various sound/video oriented classes... like studio wiring, editing, sequencing... etc and also teach some specific trades like fiber optics & structured cabling... but I'd also like to go back to DJ-ing gigs... I LOVE parties and music and females, and spinning vinyl... I'm that type of guy who wants to party and get paid for it... So far I have acomplished that pretty well... but now I'm at a crossroads again.. This is my life... lol
