My name is Charles Jesus, but in reality its Carlos Jesus. Carlos translates to Charles when its of English descent and the Jesus pronunciation in spanish (hay-zeus) is changed to Jee-zuz. So thats the explanation of my nickname haha.
Anyways, I'm a 17 year old, NYC high school student. I've been in love with the entire EDM genre of music ever since I was a wee kid. At the age of 14 I developed a heavy interest in becoming a DJ when I grow up. DJs who play at underground events, maybe someday making it big. I was hoping to be a hybrid of that, and maybe a producer DJ. But not like Deadmau5 or someone who - you know - heavily produces music. Just someone who could mix two songs and add their own twist to it, you know?
I believe I suffer from moderate Social Anxiety Disorder. I don't know if I actually do, or if I'm just shy, but I DO possess some confidence and charm. Its just that as the day/night goes on and I smoke blunt/joint after blunt/joint, I tend to start thinking alot in my head which in turn makes me quiet. However, I can be quite witty before hand.
I attended my first rave last St. Patricks Day and I must say that it was as if someone was entering heaven for the first time. (No I'm not Christian, no pun intended. I'm agnostic.) I was simply mesmerized by the lights and the vibes, and there was a bouncy house inside the warehouse and I somehow managed to get in with my friends ID, keep in mind this friend of mine is blue-eyed and looks nothing like me. I was nervous I'll admit, but once I got in the anticipation was overwhelming.
After attending a second rave on my birthday I decided that I was going to become part of the rave scene, for a hefty amount of time. I wanted to learn all about the culture, wanted to meet all the DJs I could and possibly become a pupil to learn. And most of all, I wanted to use the rave scene as a field to get rid of my SAD.
But here is why I've decided to join Bluelight. The main reason I decided to join this place is to get meet fellow ravers, and most of all, to have the right guidance to becoming a bad-ass raver. I'll be honest with you guys. All three raves I've gone to (which were all underground), I did not socialize with someone outside of my social circle. I kept it to the friends I went there with, and people who I happened to know that were coincidentally there (this happened to me twice, its crazy, the people you least expect end up being at raves.)
This isn't what I want. I want to be able to be the guy who dances and grabs peoples attention. The guy who leaves the venue with 5+ new people having been met. The guy who isn't so socially shy at a RAVE, which is simply ironic. The environment where I should be most open is the environment where my anxiety still plagues me.
And so, fellow Bluelight members, I end my wall of text by saying, its nice to meet you all. I would love it if someone could take me under their wing and teach me all about the lifestyle.
P.S.: I come from a very poor family so, I don't rave as often as I'd like to simply because of the fact that I can't afford to use 60 bucks every weekend at a rave. So yeah, I wouldn't mind getting help in terms of how to keep the income coming TO GO to a rave in the first place.

you sound like you have some years of fun ahead of you. I'm 22 now but when I was 17 was when I really started to get out into the world. I didn't quite attend a rave like they are bringing back now days but it was a classic techno club and I had awesome nights there. You are going to fit in so well here since you seem to have no problem getting your point across through text.
