And if they do, they aren´t the ones doing any effort to get through the DJ. If you still feel that way, I can advice you to take at least a sabbatical year in my country, Uruguay.

No one is normal. even unknown people who don't give a crap about your label or your music are crazy. the girl you are looking for will be crazy too. maybe not for Deadmau5, but for something else. Also, you gotta realize that humans run on the intricate system of Give and Take. some for money, for fame and others for love. you just gotta find someone who is looking to trade love for protection (sorry i need time to explain this more clearly I'm only 18 and talking off the experience of a broken engagement and lack of fidelity)<br /> <br />The only thing that matters is if you are willing to protect her, and love her no matter how crazy or childish she is. and if she turns to you and tells you Joel, even if you lost your label, your money and you're fame, i would still love you, then golly you found a winner (or you gotta wake up cause you're dreaming).<br /><br />sorry if this sounds like i know you in a personal level, which i don't, but i had to give you a face in order to give you advice.

I'm normal as in not psycho...I gotta tell you.. I'm normal as in not psychotic, and I'm sure you are not too fucked up to have a meaningful relationship.. Don't look for one though, because you can't find it that way.. I think you have to stumble across it. Actually.. you'll likely try to parkour over it, and catch your toe, and fall three floors landing directly on your face in a big, steaming hot pile of Love. Lol.. <br />I'd tell you I'd date you, because normally I find lanky, nerd-smart guys who love great music to be really hot.. but I'm in love with a guy. <br />Actually I have YOU to thank for my stumble into love-poo, Joel. You see this guy and I met because of the show you played at the House of Blues in Dallas, November of '09. That was the first time I had ever heard of Deadmau5 (I didn't know how to pronounce it until a week before the show). I had made a post on your facebook about how I was excited about the show, he saw my picture and thought I was wicked cute and decided to message me, saying if I wanted to meet up with him he'd message me his number. I got his number, but I almost didn't get into the show, I was so stressed about buying tickets from a scalper outside for $70 instead of $20, and once I got in I had the best time of my life... I completely forgot to text the poor guy. After that we were FB friends for a while.. but the more we got to know each other the more we cared for each other. Over this summer I fell hard for him and he came to visit me (I live 5 hours away)for a week. That was the best week either of us have had this whole year. <br />Long story short...er.... (My stories are never short.. Sorry ._.) Thanks Joel ^_^<br />You make amazing, unique music, and if it wasn't for that I would have never met this amazing guy I care so much for. <br />I really hope you don't break your toe when you fall. Lol.. but then again, it'd be a cool story to tell later on. <br />Oh, PS.. Said Amazing guy and I want you to come back to Texas so we can finally go see you together. <br />-Catherine A.HennaFlowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570607762182335616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-50188614693522818552010-11-14T21:22:13.100-08:002010-11-14T21:22:13.100-08:00Wow, for once a post that doesn't bring out a ...Wow, for once a post that doesn't bring out a bunch of idiots simply going, "We love you!" There's actually a lot of good insight and advice on this one.<br /><br />I wish I could offer advice that hasn't already been given, but apparently it's all been said. Or has it? Lol...I don't even know if you read these comments (I might get bored of them after a while) so really what's the point?<br /><br />But aside from the famoushness aspect of your plight, I can understand. As an electronic musician and total computer geek myself, I've always been attracted to guys that also dabbled in music and computer stuffs. For me, it was safe and at least I knew I had somebody I could chat with about gear and synths and plugins and coding and design and all that fun stuff. But those chats only got so far, and after I've learned all I can from them I ended up moving on. Plus, there was always a little itty bit of jealousy on each others' part if one of us made a track that the other one thought was pretty damn good. Or else we'd influence each other in not the best of ways. Or...well it just always got fucked.<br /><br />So I used to try and find people that WEREN'T into all that stuff...and ou know what? It's fucking hard to find somebody that doesn't really share your interests and knows nothing of your passion that you can hold a decent or meaningful conversation with. I'd tell people I made music. "Oh, what kind of music?" "Electronic music." "So, like...techno?" "No, more like trancey, vocal stuff...it's hard to describe," and watch their eyes kinda glaze over at the mention of 'trance'. Or it went the opposite: "Oh, that's so cool! You should give me some of your music sometime." Yeah, I'll get right on that.<br /><br />So then I just quit trying altogether. I'd been single for 2 years after my last stint with a IT guy/programmer/producer/dj that obviously didn't work, and apparently knows you from the old IRC days :\. I still like to talk to my exes about all that fun stuff and I used to hope that someday I would find somebody that makes me happy and lets me be me. I am sort of seeing someone right now that is so completely opposite of me that it's been nothing short of fun and interesting.<br /><br />The only other thing that kinda sucks is that after reading your blog and following you on FB, I would so totally love to hang with you for a couple days and just talk about making music and maybe play with all those fun toys you like to show off and maybe play with Meowingtons just a bit...but unfortunately I guess I'm looked at as yet another groupie-girl who just wants something from you. That's what sucks.<br /><br />Oh well. Back to my music now. :)Evey Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736147255496802329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-30019569878090566862010-11-01T19:59:19.914-07:002010-11-01T19:59:19.914-07:00just gonna be honest i decided to give up on the w...just gonna be honest i decided to give up on the whole relationship bullshit because i realized that being nice gets me NO WHERE ! nice people seem to finish LAST in the race of life... so as long as i can lay my head down on the pillow at night and know i did good for the day and made someone else happy even if i couldn't exactly fulfill all of my own hearts desires for the day well then at least i made someone else smile... and thats gotta be enough... <br />seems being forward and being what guys deem "aggressive" is not a good thing... <br />well fuck it then, i am done. <br />I am not in the mood for games, i am not in the mood to sit here and try to analyze every god forsaken thing a guy does or says, and i am not trying to figure his shit out by thinking like a guy, yes i do have two older brothers... but you know what you either like me or you dont... do not waste my fucking time with your dishonesty game playing bullshit! <br />and like iam sure many people above me commented, when its right its right, and when shes right you will know... <br />every pot has a lid... and in some weird way i feel like something out there is protecting me from the bullshit because G-d only knows that the type of person i am i give my all and everything to someone and always seem to come up the sucker in the end... so its just not the right time... <br />maybe its the same for you... <br />keep ya head up, backbone out, shit will come together eventually, all in due time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786805837566086417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-49493740933474989302010-10-23T01:49:55.657-07:002010-10-23T01:49:55.657-07:00Sorry, I was reading the comments and stumbled upo...Sorry, I was reading the comments and stumbled upond this statement..

I would honestly just wanna chill maybe grab a bite to eat... and yeah... It really doesn't matter to me that you are famous. Like I really enjoy your music and would wanna have the chance to hangout with you even if you were the most hated electronic music producer. <br />I don't know every single one of your songs. My favourite songs of yours would be Ghosts n stuff and Moar Ghosts n stuff. I honestly don't think I am a poser for my favourite song being pretty much your most popular song because I really truly enjoy it the most out of all your songs. If we ever do meet, don't be surprised that I fangirl over you but don't be surprised if I don't either. I will forever love your music and I hope you find some really chill not being your friend for stupid not actually just wanting to be your friend reasons soon. <3<br />I saw you at global (OH EM GEE) But I missed you at the fillmore (had a ticket but no ride DX) and I didn't know about Beta.

I wish the entertainment industry was rooted better for hearts and minds alike. Now its just become a massive industry of followers and politics, oh yeah and they forgot to tell you once you hit the masses the devil would make sure you lost yourself in the process.

I have to agree with you that everyone wants something, although I must elaborate that many of the unhappiness in the world comes from wanting things that are unattainable, or undesirable, or that we simply do not need. The trick to happiness is to want as little as possible, in my opinion.<br /><br />That said, if you really want to meet someone, try dating people who have never heard of deadmau5. That way the person who you go out with can get to know Thomas Zimmerman, the man who is more then the music he creates, even if that music takes up a big part of his life.<br /><br />Well that is if your looking for someone. Not sure what your looking for, but those are my thoughts. Take em or leave em, or ignore this comment entirely.

I've convinced two of my friends who seemed to be dating only douche bags to do this and they are both happily married now! NOT that you want to be married right now but ok check it out: E-harmony!! Its freekin brilliant if you think about it. First of all they have you fill out a million questions in a million different ways in order to get your real character and they match you with people you are compatible with! So really when you date someone it takes a good year before you know the real them unfortunately and this way you bypass all that B.S. AND how convenient and perfect for you because you have the time to get to know someone cuz its all online AND they will never know who you are until you trust you have a good thing. CHA-CHING!!

I love that there are other real people reading and commenting too, and I've actually been really impressed with how 'decent' everyone's been with their replies. It's nice to see others out there (like me) who respect you for what you do, who you are, and who try to empathize as much as possible to what you must be going through.. <br /><br />I was looking through your pictures on facebook the other night, and thinking, wow.. all these people are just excited to have their picture taken with you, not having any idea (or even caring) what kind of mood you're in, how you're feeling, if you need a hug, if you're lonely (or not.. hell, I don't know.. but I'd get tired of the randomness and bullshit after awhile) and you probably are just hoping for someone real to come along, where you don't have to be all :D and *peace signs* and *posing for pics, yay!* for a million diff strangers. <br /><br />I hope you're okay. Take care of yourself and enjoy your life right now. Very few get to experience what you're doing, and it seems like youre making the best out of it. You're posting real shit, real stories. You are yourself, and the rest of us out here who follow you and admire you and love your music LOVE seeing that you're just like us with your 1337 speak, ginger talk and tl;dr references. :) Hopefully someday you can find someone worth your time, and energy.

Anyway keep the faith yo I am!kazmerazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079295353171676129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-43717752354039583752010-09-23T16:08:47.753-07:002010-09-23T16:08:47.753-07:00Everyone wants something...so what it is you want ...Everyone wants something...so what it is you want most?<br /><br />I ' say when you've get this figured out, then things will be smooth...or not! Fuck this. If there's a solution to the "problem", then there's no need to worry about it. And if there's not, worrying won't get it to you.<br /><br />As for meating "normal" people. Seriously? I have seen you onstage (loved the little <3 shaped hands, from the HUGE ears head, behind the ENROMOUS LED cube btw) but if I was to see you on the street, I would have no idea who you are...maybe your die-hard fans do, but most don't.<br />Now, if you only meet people from the same "circuit" , who want to suck up your blood, it's only because you want it in a way! It's all about priorities isn't it? <br />When you meet genuine people, don't you feel the difference?<br />There is always gonna be sucker for fame/money/power etc...nothing will change that. Only thing you can change is you and your attitude towards them. RAISE YOUR WEAPON! <br /><br />I find myself beeing ridiculous commenting on your personal life as if I didn't have enough in hands with my own but what the heck...I am also a sucker for love.<br /><br />Here's to everyone finding their significant other, cause we all know how fucking hard that is!emanomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00906471129864994318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-45348264262189363902010-09-23T14:17:09.045-07:002010-09-23T14:17:09.045-07:00If you are busy with your career 99% of your time ...If you are busy with your career 99% of your time then doesn't your relationship problem begin with that? To a normal woman, have you thought, what have you got to offer, if you are 99% of the time unavailable? So do you see how your lifestyle doesn't easily invite normal people in your life, people who want normal things... The only woman who can put up with your absences would be one who is very busy herself, and quite self-sacrificing, because she will have to drop everything at a moment's notice for the few hours you happen to be free... But then wouldn't you be using her? And what about a normal woman who is genuinely in love with you? Normal women are everywhere but can you imagine the pressure on that poor creature, being suspected of wanting things from you, of using you, etc. The only way she can prove that she doesn't want anything from you, but love, is to be richer and more successful than you. <br /><br />Which is the other option if normal is out of question. There are lots of rich and successful women out there and I guess the only way for you to be 100% sure that she doesn't want anything from you is to get involved with a lady on your level of success. Otherwise you'll always have that sneaking question in your head: what does she want from me, given that you seem to enjoy entertaining yourself with negative thoughts about people. But then you will think of something else negative to suspect her of. Because you dont seem to like yourself and to believe in yourself that you are a handsome man and that a woman might indeed be in love with you with no gains in her mind.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732378713577818254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-2372905196668145222010-09-23T11:28:45.901-07:002010-09-23T11:28:45.901-07:00I wonder if there's a game theory i.e. stag-ha...I wonder if there's a game theory i.e. stag-hare hunt, that applies to this... like, at a concert/set there are X members of the opposite sex then a certain number find the performer attractive but there's also a number of them which are groupies, but you could more accurately call them really big fans, the question is, why are most of them getting through to the performer? In a simple reward system the groupie's reward is huge, she gets to meet the performer and make herself heard to someone previously unreachable due to popularity constraints, the reward for the normal girl is fairly small, gets to meet performer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694612234936021544noreply@blogger.com
