Itching to DJ

What are you doing here?...  People ask me that all of the time in Peru...more than in Mexico City actually.  And I just want to say "i'm just eating, drinking juice, hanging out with the girl I'm in love with...just to put it simply "i'm chilin'".  But I don't say that because I'm not sure what it means to be 'out' here and my other answers either just arouse more questions that I don't care to answer.  Or people give me that look like "who the hell is she?".

Instead, I usually say that I'm here to practice my Spanish (true but not the whole truth and nothing but the truth..so help me...) but at the same time, why should I give a damn whether or not my answer sounds practical or privileged or justifiable. I'm here for so many reasons and sometimes I add on  reasons and other days I unload a few because they just don't apply anymore.

So today's reason that I am here is that I am going to make a mixtape with my amigo who also lives in Jesus Maria.

Part of traveling includes a musical journey and often times that musical journey happens on the modes of transportation that take you to point A to point B.  And this mixtape, hopefully will be an exploration of that...idea in progress....through our constant mode of transporte here, the combi.
