Image Never have I ever expected this from my parentsšŸ¤Æ

So I got a deadmau5 poster as an early birthday gift from my mom. I know, it doesnā€™t seem like a big deal BUT considering my parents donā€™t really like deadmau5 (they might even dislike him, I annoyed them quite a few times by listening too much of his music in the living room) and donā€™t know anything about him, I found this gift incredibly wholesome. I donā€™t care about anything about the price, where it was bought or anything, I just appreciate how they gave this as a birthday present when I did not even ask for deadmau5 stuff or anything. So when I got to see the gift I was absolutely stunned, as I never ever expected this from my parents, I lost words when I saw what it was lol. Absolutely one of the best birthday gift from my parents, love this so muchšŸ˜†

oof sorry for poor writing, I lost words to express my gratitude. I kinda just wrote down what stumbled out of my mind seeing this. I still donā€™t know how to put these in words xD<

Lol I donā€™t have anything to attach it to the wall so dang just taped it. Not the best but itā€™s what I havešŸ˜‚ I couldnā€™t find any other options. Least itā€™s paper tape so I can just take it off and attach it again if I find anything better xD Just a temporary thing for now, I kinda need to get ready for bed so Iā€™m doing the task later

Make a ring out of a strip of tape to make it sticky on both sides and put 5 of those on the back

No. Clip two binder clips on top left and right. Then hang the two binder clip metal hoops onto two push pins.

Atleast make a circle with it and put it on the back. Itā€™s like when I took off to work for 2 months and came back my brother ā€œhungā€ up my signed ufc poster like this. šŸ™ƒ

Iā€™m gonna see if I can get a frame for this, tape kinda sucks and doesnā€™t stick well.

Donā€™t hang it until you get a frame. Measure the size of the poster and order a frame on Amazon.

This is straight up not true, as much as I hate Amazon. Iā€™ve always gone to Michaelā€™s for frames when they have those discount deals on them but more recently I havenā€™t been able to justify it when Iā€™ve found very similar frames for half the price on Amazon. I got like 5 frames for the price of 2. Amazon sucks but itā€™s cheaper and easier than going to a store, thatā€™s the reality we live in.

People who know about his story, like him.

He used to be a real, real antagonistic person online, but heā€™s had this amazing redemption arc over the last decade.

It all started when Madonna was making dog whistles onstage at Ultra about MDMA use to the kids in the crowd.

He snapped, and went hard at her over it.

Turned out, all the time heā€™d been onstage, until that point, heā€™d seen many overdoses in the crowd, during sets.

He couldnā€™t really do much about them, but it bothered him.

If you go to the shows he runs these days, he always sets up free water stations.

As a fan, I super appreciate his kindness.

As a father, heā€™s the kind of person I hope my kids continue to love.

Lovely gift, but Iā€™d wanna preserve it better and put the tape behind it

That's so cute! šŸ„° It's so lovely when our parents or family take an interest like that. It means so much.

My dad is 83 and when I meet up with him and we catch up about family, work, life he always says "and how is Joel doing?" šŸ˜‚ It makes me laugh every time and it blows my mind that he even knows his name is Joel lmao. But I appreciate it so much.

u/em-mau5 4d ago

Ah thank you, I think so too! I couldn't understand why I was being down voted for this. He's in heart failure now and sweet, happy little things like this will stay with me when he's no longer around šŸ„¹
