“Hello darkness my old friend/I’ve come to speak to you again” – Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Dude I can feel my zest for life slipping away slowly and surely. I know my time around is limited. I know that I have made a difference in at least one person’s life, what have you done? Are you still the same dull, stupid and ignorant person you were 1, 2,3,4,5 years ago? If you have made a change, was it a positive or negative one? I know all the changes I brought are positive, and the ones that have memories of me are fond ones. Can you say the same about you? I know that somewhere there is/was at least one person that has or still is looking up to me because I have done something that that he/she can recognize with, have you?
Take time and think, then welcome a rude awakening...

Random Post of Anger
I guess frustration is getting the better of me. Well i am not even granted the chance of being alone some pompous idiot should always try and take me to the point of no return. At times i wonder what i am capable of seeing that silent rage is of more danger than any other out there. I don’t really wanna hurt anybody, fighting not in me. But i can damn well make you look like you were in an accident. You talk like you always been up there and all that, yet you have the same small town mentality like those before you, those with, and most likely those after you.
(I cant even remember this one, guess i was angry about something.)

23 June 2010: Better Conversation
Don’t you have anything better to talk about? All of you are the same, the conversation stays the same. Sometimes following the crowd makes you part of the idiotic-ness that is the crowd.
Individualism is slowly dying and the ones we laugh and point fingers at are the ones that are keeping it alive for the next to come.

What's Behind The Name
As everybody knows or can see, the name of my blog is biological misfit and many are wondering what’s up with the name.
When I created my blog, I was in a bad space and wasn’t really feeling human. I felt like a misfit, like I don’t belong, so that where the misfit part comes in.
Ever wondered if you adapted? Or if those are your biological parents? I wasn’t, I’m just trying to show you where it comes from. As I said before I was in a bad space, bad state of mind, like everything was just bad. Knowing I’m my parents biological son, they couldn’t get the “adoptive parents blame”.
So one day it all just came together and that’s now the name come along. Nothing special really

I Hate The Answer: “Just Asking”
I find it really irritating when I get asked a question and when I want to know why I’m being asked this; I get the response “just asking”. Nobody ask a question for no reason. If I ask you what you had for supper, I probably want to compare your supper to mine, and if mine was better, you will hear about it.
Nobody’s life is that boring that you asks a question for the “just asking” reason. Another thing that I’ve noticed is whenever one gets the “just asking” answer, it’s a question that you would normally not be asked.
You know what; all these “just’” responses are a load of bullshit. “Just wondering”, “just asking”, “some just” and we can go on and on.
This was just me having to say something about something

My Biggest Fear
Many times I sit with my over-active imagination (not literally) and wonder what my biggest fear is. It’s not my own death, sometimes I look forward to it. Do not ask why. I don’t really fear any type of insect or something, maybe in the heat of the moment it will make me cringe but it’s not something major.
Tonight (while cleaning my mind/escaping from reality) I could actually categorise my fears. Kind of weird! The death of some immediate family member (sibling or parents) is on the list, not right o top though, close to the top ja. Then comes the close friends and so-called “adopted family” you know, the guy you know so long you’re practically brothers, ja that’s the one I’m talking about.
But at the start of this year, I made a decision. It took me 21 years to make it though. I will start looking out for myself first, selfish don’t you think? If you do, that’s your problem. Most of my time is always spent doing something for somebody, even if there is no benefit in me doing it. Modern day Ghandi ne? Anyway it has been this way most of what I can remember. I’d do something because someone wanted me to do it and in some magical way I’ll end up enjoying it.
But back to what I fear most… personally I feel that I’m living for other people or that somebody excluding myself is running/controlling my life. This now brings me to my biggest fear…
My biggest fear is that; when my life finally becomes mine, will I really know what to do with it, or even know, ill just fuck it up.
My advice: make sure that everything that is supposed to be yours, is yours. If not, make it yours.

Clearing The Mind/ Escaping From Reality
This just hit me; I’m sitting (literally) and wondering how other people clear their minds, you know that quick escape from reality we all need every now and then. Getting away from reality is vital for a persons’ mental well-being. Just remember to go to back to reality; you don’t want to end up in a loony bin or something.
So how do you clear you mind/escape from reality? I know many people I know many people cook just to take a breather from life and remember that there is actually something (whatever “something is) out there. Other people go to gym, or yoga; apparently it’s rather therapeutic, I would think that it is. There are so many other options out there like jogging, playing sport, scrap booking and the list goes on. Not to sound cheesy but options are endless.
The beauty of clearing the mind/escaping from reality is that you get that very rare chance to focus on one thing! There’s nothing in the back of your mind that’s constantly reminding you of stuff that you still have to do. I guess it gives you the chance to be you.
I know nobody is asking or wondering but my way of clearing my mind/escaping from reality is sitting on the toilet. (Somebody probably thinking “euww gross”) Let me explain. I won’t even be taking a dump/crap/shit/kak/number 2 or whatever you call it these days. I’ll just go and sit on the toilet and escape, let the world pass me by a bit, drive in life’s slow lane because that is a very rare time that nobody wants/needs anything from a person. (Just don’t hog the toilet, its irritating)
Remember that clearing the mind is vital because like anything else it can get clogged up.
So clear/escape! Do whatever you need to do! As long as for that 1min, 1hour or whatever, you are doing you.

Nah Man
I have noticed that whenever something does not go your way, or the way you want it to go, it automatically becomes my fault, without me even being involved. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I’M NEVER GUILTY, but for fucks sake. ALL THE TIME?? Nah I won’t and will never buy it.
People can’t ask for my HONEST opinion then get offended once it’s given, that’s stupid. Oh, its gets tiring as well and then its starts to piss me off, but as the nice guy that I am, I’ll keep quiet. Then you wanna complain about me being quiet, but when you told it’s for your own good, that’s also a problem. LIFE’S TOO SHORT TOO STRUGGLE. So to the best of my ability I try not to.
If this was twitter, this would be a #subtweet

Random Thoughts
It’s October. This has been an interesting year to say the least. Events have taken place that I never knew were remotely possible for a guy like me. The people I have met, connections I have made. The personal growth that has taken place, decisions made, fuck I can go on for DAYS. The Mic Turner brand has grown tremendously. From being a small, unknown varsity act, to playing main set with some of the biggest names in the industry. Relationships have come, gone and come again. Even my following on twitter and facebook are constantly growing. Unfortunately this is life and this does not come without a price. Sacrifices have been made, some willing and others not so willing.
Everything has a purpose in the end.
Between then and now, Ima stay hustling.

The Story of Mic Turner
Damn, where do I start?
All through high school, I was always the dj at events, socials etc etc etc. This was kinda fun coz I had alotta, if not all control of what was being played. Built up a nice reputation amongst all the people at school as well. Sad part was this ended in 2007. In 2008 I went to varsity and left all this behind.
I guess it’s true what they say about passion, love and all that other shit. IT WILL COME FIND YOU.
In late 2008 I came across a facebook page that posted links to 5FMs Ultimix @ 6. I NEVER MISSED A DOWNLOAD. I didn’t care who the dj was, I downloaded that mix!!
2009 came and this is when I slowly but surely got back into the game. Listening to music and saying what I would have done to the track if I was to one day use it in a mix. Late 2009 I started playing around again. This was all thanx to the motivation of some friends (who I never see anymore). I started putting together my own mixes, as crappy as they were mine. I was going somewhere and making progress. This is when I met one of my best friends. I guess he saw the talent, passion or whatever it’s called nowadays and had me playing every day. We even had mini battles as practice sessions. The year came to a close and I took a little break.
2010. Now things became interesting. I was much better than what people expected me to be, so much so that I even started getting gigs. I hadn’t really thought of a dj name or alias BUT for some reason I wanted to be DJ Mikey or DJ The Mikey (Cheesy as shit I know). This was also the year I joined UWC Radio, the local on campus radio station and met a number of people there. One day I was just messing around with a pair of broken Gemini Turntables and one of the guys that were there at the time said: “Hey Mike, you’re a Turner. You get it?” and from that day Mic Turner was born. I just had to make the name unique, hence the ambiguity. Towards the middle of the year, I put together a relatively good mix and a friend said that he has some connections at the biggest radio station in Cape Town and he’ll put in a good work for me and submit the mix for me. Some time went by and one night I got a call from Carl Wastie, host of The Teen Show and he said that he liked the mix. From there on out, word spread about me. On the day I went to meet him at the studios, I was late and hung over but submitted another mix. It wasn’t long until he contacted me again saying that the mix is good and it will be aired. After that I was offered like a residency spot where I could play once a month on his show. I became “that Goodhope FM DJ” at parties and gigs and slowly but surely started building up a reputation for myself. The year came and gone and I was slowly getting better at what I was doing and started being noticed for that.
ALL OF THIS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENED THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF FRIENDS, FAMILY AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
Stay tuned for the story of 2011. Believe me, its interesting.

Lets Try This again...
YESES!! DAMN SHIT!!
It’s been such a long time since I updated my blog. So may changes have taken place, so much shit happened. Planned and unplanned. Yes I’m one of those people that actually plan shit okay, go be judgmental somewhere else where nobody gives a damn.
Kinda odd, dunno where to start with this updating process. Think I’ll start with uploading posts I never planned to put out, just in case somebody stumbles across them and starts being concerned about my well-being.
Funny enough, the purpose of this blog has changed, was a place for me to vent and all that other bullshit, now it’s just a place to air thoughts (they say talk I don’t enough.
To first time readers, understand, this will be somewhat of a journey (maybe even a rough one, to the sensitive ones) but enjoy. If you don’t, well that’s your problem
