It hasn't been the best of times for me, having lost my temp job, a girlfriend of 4 years (due to long distance), and some friends being wack as hell. Not to mention the middle east threads goin' on, although they are necessary.So what made you happy/fulfilled recently?1) Played with the #1 draft pick in the Japanese Basketball Pro League and held my own in a pickup game recently.

i don't know i deserve much other than that but as extra icing on that, i got confirmation for playing hiphopkemp in prague this week. be nice to go back there
Wow, very sorry to hear that, hope she can recover soon. My problems are insignificant in comparison.
That's terrible, I hope she makes as quick a recovery as possible. And all the best to you and the kids, this kind of thing is quite difficult to go through. Make sure you have support so you can properly support your wife. My heart goes out to your wife and family.
really scary shit man, made making beats seem so unimportant all of a sudden
Wow--stay strong and try to maintain that perspective.
word. stay strong.
My mother in law was diagnosed with having cancer a few months back. I know it's rough, man, but hang in there. My thoughts are going out to you and your entire family.
As for me, well you know, my career could be worse. It could be better. I always seem to focus on the "could be better" and it makes me get real fucked up inside. Like I suffer from depression, and lately with my birthday it's been kicking my ass. Plus a good friend from long ago suddenly died recently. I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels going nowhere in life. I feel like a complete waste and an utter failure. I haven't amounted to anything. Also, I'm completely broke, and I mean paying for coffee with change broke. And guess what?!? I have no more change left! I basically feel like I'm in a deep dark hole right now.
But I have a great wife who is wonderful and gives me everything I would ever need from a companion. The majority of my family and my close friends are pretty awesome as well.
That's man and husband of character speak right there... you can't switch, but you can pass along all the support and positivity you have in you over to her to assist in a speedy recovery. Strength of two is stronger than one. I hope all goes well for you and your family.
on the bright side, I just sold a rackord for over 200 bones and SS came through on the Black Merda tip in the wants section. so there's that...
The ONLY thing that really matters in life my friend, at the end of the day we are only so much as the friends we've made and the good things we've done for others. Compassion and LOVE. Humans weren't built to be satisfied by things like careers/money/things, the sooner you let go the better. I'm sure those close to you don't think you're a failure.
The happiest times of my life have come without reason.

The past 4 months of my life have been the hardest ever and at the end of the day it's all about your family, friends and loved ones.
Oxford, MS ain't so bad.
What is REALLY good, though. The best catfish in the state is 5 miles down the road, Ole Miss women are fine as hell, drinks are cheap as dirt, and I've seen some pretty incredible live music. One night was a soul band with a full horn section doing all sorts of classics, including Isaac Hayes covers. Another was a real down home bluegrass band. There are great bookstores, Faulkner's grave, and lots of sunshine.
here's the catfish spot.
field and stream review.
This looks and sounds like heaven.
thanks man, you and yours too. seems like i know too many people affected by cancer as well. the other positive i can't fail but see in it is that it's ovarian cancer but we have 3 amazing children already - it's horrible it's happening at all but if it'd come a few years sooner we might not have had children at all
my financial situation is looking grim in light of the fact that i'm the only earner in the house and it's not easy holding down a 9-5 whilst looking after a wife undergoing chemo and 3 kids
my perspective on all that is crystal though - my glass might be a disposable plastic cup but it's half full from where i'm standing
Oh yeah? That's cool man. Good luck. You know you can always come to me for advice on what NOT to do when starting your own company
My man, I think the fact that you're staying strong and positive says a lot about you and the quality of people that your wife and children are. Keep your chin-up.
Soulstrut has got your back.
I'm really not trying to make this a argumentative thread, but posting about "great things" in this thread is really in bad taste. Maybe it's just me.
i didn't want to kill the post though - people need to post that good shit. bottom line is, i'd rather be in this position with an incredible wife and family, than not be but never having had my family at all, if you get what i mean.
I actually have WAYYYY too much experience on how NOT to run a company. I've had two companies eat it. The first went belly up because of greed, egos and the internet bust. Learned a HELL of a lot from that. Second one (mentioned above) failed for a number of reasons but funding was the main reason. I just bit off more than I could chew.
Now I'm doing it right. Saving up money. Writing up a solid business plan and giving myself a deadline to quit my job. Good times.
Word, Take it real easy. stay strong. But this thread was about "good things" and usually it takes "bad things" to make us realise they're good...(how profound!)
Me, I've been with the same girl for over 10 months now which is an incredibly long time for myself, I've set up a little office / studio to make music in here in Perth and I'm happy for the first time in a long time, All i gotta do now is sabotage it all!
F*CK CANCER!
