My Two-Cents: Too Many Wedding DJs
People used to be hunters and gatherers. Now they are wedding DJs. Where did we go wrong?
The Hunter-Gatherer-to-Wedding DJ Pipeline is probably a long one. In between we had farmers, soldiers, Luddites, and eventually accountants. But somewhere in the sauce, we got lost, and now we have an overpopulation of overzealous wedding DJs. What does this mean?
For one, it means that we don’t need any more wedding DJs. The field is already saturated. Check out a new hobby. That is that. Furthermore, there is still a large magnitude of the current wedding DJ field to speak for; when did they span and why? How did we go from a human race built on hunters and gathers to moonlighting disk jockeys? I think this is one of life's many great mysteries. Much like who built the pyramids. (My money is on aliens.) And where is Cleopatra's tomb? Along with the debate of nature vs. nurture. And the many great philosophical questions – What is happiness? What is the purpose of life? Yada Yada Yada. The answer to the wedding DJ dilemma is much the same as the previous questions – we have no clue. We are left at large with the question of how people went from hunters and gathers to wedding DJs. We’re pretty sure they are the same species, Homosapiens alike. But the pipeline from one to another is far too complex to try to decipher. Only one thing can be said true from this mystery – nothing is out of reach. I bet if you told the early Homospaiens and Neanderthals that one day they would be spending their Saturday nights mic’d up, iPod in hand bumping ABBA remixes, they would have laughed in your face. But now, you laugh in their face at the thought of gathering berries for dinner. Silly, silly gathers. And you foolish hunters — go back to trying to spear that Saber-tooth tiger. The only thing you should know is that nothing is out of bounds! Maybe someday, the children will gawk at the ancient “wedding DJ” in light of what is at that present time. The only thing to take from the grandiose amount of time I spent devoted to thinking about the Hunter-Gatherer-DJ dilemma is that yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery! And today is a gift (Quote Elenor Roosevelt, who I'm guessing had no idea about the Wedding DJ epidemic that would soon strike our country in the next century.) No one knows what the future holds, not even Eleanor, so I guess just live in the moment. (And become a Disk Jockey if you so please, I suppose.)
