apodyopsis's bootcamp journal

[Wacky-1]

Apod..dude, this is some inspirational stuff!
And you got Walden's stamp of approval. Need I say more? Honestly, I wanna go at the bootcamp, but I've got some pressing matters to attend to. Your story has been entertaining to say the least. Keep it up man! You'll be a DJ in no time!

good job

Keep it up. You're well on your way.

great stuff!

This is great stuff and im just happy for you. The first post of this thread where you talk about coming close to death and that making you want to become a dj really hit home. I think ill die first or the apocalypse will hit before I get the courage to do the dj bootcamp

great thread!

went out with jenna yesterday, had a blast like usual. towards the end of the night we were hungry n happened to be by the mall, so somehow i thought eating expensive mall food was a good idea. im pretty broke right now, but luckily she paid before i knew what was going on. and since we were at the mall, i dragged her on one of those DDR things. no, im not good at it, and neither was she, but it was fun to drag her on the stage. we were both clueless and awkward, n quickly ran outta the arcade when we were done. she asked to go on this date last week, so it was nice to actually get a call from the female for once.

i really slacked on the hi, stranger convo thing today, and didnt even make an attempt to talk to any HB's. i was tired from last night since i got home really late, and thus was not in the mood to be outgoing.

on a lighter note, i finally got a new car. i missed having a cd-player, not to mention all the other crap u get with a new car. its so much easier to feel confident now that im not driving a car from the 80's, but im glad ive been going out with the old car. i had a lot of good practice when nice wheels were out of the picture, cause that meant my game had to be better. now, with some skills and a nice ride, that should help things along a little. plus, like i said, im always in a better mood when i drive. the next time i have a day off and just need a break ill go exploring. i think at the end of the BC im suppose to go to another town and mack my @ss off, or maybe some1 suggested it, like Walden, but either way i like that idea. ill pick a road, see where it takes me and if i dont end up in cuba itl give me a good chance to practice.

i got this cute white chicks # tuesday, i jsut couldnt resist. again, playing tennis in tight white pants, and a black thong. i swear, they do this on purpose. be it bending over, or leaning foward giving u full view down their shirt, whats a single guy to do? NOT # close? i think not... nice bodies were meant to be played with


and thx to every1 who takes the time to read and reply. i hope i can get a few poeple to start their own BC's or at least take a step towards djism. it doesnt take much to get started on the BC, all you do is say hi and make eye contact. if any1 is having trouble starting, PM me with any questions or fears you have. i promise, it might look like a huge thing to do, but you take it step by step.

brick wall!!!

*sigh* so ya, this last week ive made negative progress. ive passed up so many opportunities, i havent been as outgoing as i have been, and overall just got into my comfort zone. its so easy to get caught up in everday life, and djing isnt 100% natural for me yet, otherwise i wouldnt have trouble like this. its like i have to be in that dj mode, and i have to make a conscious effort when i have the time. well, that is NOT the right attitude, so that has to be fixed. ive jenna and a small handful of other girls become a comfort zone, i havent been getting any new numbers because i was busy, and i fell into the "trap of tomorrow" and have just been saying ill do it later... well, there might not be a tomorrow, or even a tonight. id love to turn this into a huge rant about me getting lazy and everything, but i just wanna point it out in my bc. i vowed never to whine or complain again, and im gunna stick with it.

this week my goal is to get a few more numbers, continue going out on dates, but the most important thing, is to just be more natural with the whole process. i wish i had more to write about, but nothing is really related to the BC so ill save it. hopefully ill have more to write about in a couple days...

been a while... UPDATE

alright, its been a while since my last post. basically what ive been up to lately is just continuing to sociable and flirt/use kino whenever possible. im about halfway in between having to tell myself to do these things and it being natural. half the time im great, i dont have to think it just happens, other days i have to make an effort. still trying to improve there, and ive been trying to keep up my appearance and body language, even on crappy days. first impressions are, first impressions. what if a semi-perfect girl (as of right now i dont believe in the perfect woman), or "the One' the "fish" whatever u wanna call it walks by, theres her first impression of you. now, one thing ive been struggling with is setting aside time for DJ'ing. thats whats made some things difficult, but its also made the bootcamp possible so its a step that has to be made.

so ya, ive been focusing on that on top of everything else. when im up late and i look like a lazy bum with my head on the table in class, thats not quite the impression i wanna make, but once in a while i couldnt care less. its just im letting htat become a habit, so enough is enough. got a date set up for this weekend, and ive been going out with Jenna a little more. Now, I think im going to call week 8 to an end, I just need to practice on establishing more rapport, kino and everything, so this will be an ongoing thing for me. Im going to be a little experimental this weekend, since its our first outing together. Im going to up the kino a good couple notches (assuming she reacts well, getting claw marks on my face is not on my to-do list) and just up the sexual whatever on the date. Need to practice on how to effectively speed up the process, so ill post on how that goes.

Resurrection

ahhh, the good old days of my dj bootcamp... i dont believe i ever finished this. wish i stuck with it, i still havent developed my skills as far as i would have liked. a little info on what happened when i dropped out, got sucked into a relationship, which is what i thought i wanted, but i felt like i was just trying to replace something i once had. went with the flow for a few months, but felt an emptyness inside and decided it woudl be best to end things. focused on school and self-improvement up until now, only gone on a few dates here and there, but things have definetley died down. i made the mistake of expecting a relationship to complete my life, make me happy. im not looking for a relationship right now, im just looking for some harmless fun, im still young and i have a lot to do and learn.

so here i am once again, finishing what i started. the car accident that opened my eyes to my life happened almost a year ago, i was actually thinking about it and remembered my old bootcamp. i wasnt sure if i wanted to post here again, but its something i need to do. im continuing where i left off, hopefully whoever bothers to read this will get something out of it, i know Walden and a few other people really helped me. looking back, im a completely different person now then i was when i first came here, so hopefully ill stick with it this time.

im going to compress weeks 1-3 into 1 week, then start week 4 which is pretty much where i stopped. i refuse to revert back to the afc i once was... and i dont need another car accident to tell me that

went out with this half filipino half black girl, she was pretty hot, got the best of both worlds. overall it was an average date, wasnt that much chemistry, sometimes i have to pick their brains to get a good convo started, others it just flows naturally. guess it has to do with their either IL or just how talkative they are. grabbed some dinner then went clubbing, and at least she could dance, she knew how to grind that @ss (which reminds me, i need to learn how to dance better). had a chance to dance with another 8.5 but as i got up i spun around and made my friend dance with her instead. he got stood up, some lame excuse like "oh, i have to go camping today, sorry" like an hour before, so i wanted him to have some fun, gotta look out for the bros once in a while. he was gunna stay at home but i called him n said he should join us. for the most part he just moped around but after i got him off his butt he had a good time. dropped date off at around 2, shes living off campus with her mom and she kept calling every 30 min so had to obey. overall it was okay, i might call her again if i dont have anyone else to play with.

gotta do some more closes this week, ill finish week 4 then start getting more numbers. got a few convos this weekend and i should be able to get 10 by thurs, and ill close whenever i can.

Were you getting consistent ***** in your last relationship?

And don't be so hard on yourself man. You've taken the extra leap that many guys never do. I see your posts and I go wow he has definitely grown some balls. Good luck for the future.

week 4 update

Caldus - not really, most girls ive dated, at least the first couple months we couldnt keep hands off each other, but with my last one she was either always busy or really uptight about sexual things. that right there kinda killed the fun and chemistry for me, so ya. and thx for the good luck, ill try my best to make the most of my short life.

alright, knocked out 2 convos today, but i let the cold i have knock my confidence down so i didnt close either time. played some tennis with one of the girls from the varisty team, she wore tight white shorts with a black thong (girls do this a lot, at least from what ive seen). shes one of my friends ex's, so i dunno if i wanna pursue or not, but we're "hanging out" next week so ill decide what im gunna do about that later. my stupid moral code will probably kick in, my close friends are like bros to me so thats probably off territory.

Hey what's happened to this thread?

I remember reading it a few days ago and reminding myself to look out for it basically cos i feel i'm in a very similar situation myself: that of having got a good way through the bootcamp but then letting it drop far too much and not maintaining the skills and confidence i'd built up.

I've been seeing this girl casually for a few weeks, which has made me fall into my comfort zone too much, plus I've only just finished some important exams, meaning i've been studying pretty much all day every day for at least the last month. Now i'm done though, I may start tomorrow doing your idea - compressing the 1st 3 weeks into 1, reckon that'd definately get me back in the field.

How's this bootcamp being going anyway?
