Well,I don't know about you but this definitely puts me off. I just didn't realize how high the perfectionism syrup flows in my veins until recently. All I remember is that according to psychologist Tim Lahaye writeup,I am a mel-phleg.A combination of a Melancholic who have an eye for perfection and and an over calm phlegmatic.
I quite often am not perturbed by small things like using different shades of same color in knitting, a not so round chapati the shape of a trapezium etc.
However,I am obsessed with having little things in absolute order. For instance having my bed neatly made from the beddings to the cover with edges flowing right at 90 degrees. I am that articulate that anything minus that leaves me unsatisfied. This morning, I felt the same urge when I borded a public matatu(a new motivation to work towards that black Toyota Harrier). It is absolutely quiet ,the screaming silence than can only compare to that in a deserted,bushy and unkept old cemetery that serves the posterity as reminder of loyal colonial fighters. Don't get me wrong,its 5am and every body aboard is silent. Perhaps meditating or trying to catch up with sleep within the short trip to town after waking up as witches pack up there bags after an active night. I don't quite sleep at such a time and so am often in the bandwagon of meditators. With soft gospel music playing in the bus when am lucky to abord one that plays Gospel tunes,am easily lost in the world of God and me. My garden of peace
So the other day, am in a bus at that wee hour and they are playing old school gospel that are abit high tempo for an early morning. The speaker and bass is high and meditation becomes impossible with such distraction. Then something happens when the music is transitioning and the perfection in me notes an odd thing and I can't help feeling let down. I wasnt very good with virtual DJ at campus but atleast I appreciated that to mix songs,its key to try and synchronize the tempos first. That it is not a mix if you jump cut from one song to another of totally different tempo,that is a playlist!!!!.There is a reason the mixer has a fade under and fade up button for the DJ to slowly but correctly loop to the next. I was mad at the way the mix was flowing. Like seriously, who mixes *ahadi ya Bwana song and jumpcuts to a slow hymn *Bwana Mungu nashangaa kabisa*
Both songs are awesome and I enjoyed. My only concern though is how it was transitioned.If you are a DJ, I mean a practising Christian one,please just do it right.
Thank you.Am not suggesting that you have all your shoes arranged in a particular order or have your desktop with organized icon
Music is mystical and it takes us where many things can't,please do it and right and spare a sister agony at 5am!
