Thanx Hippo.... Hopefully this gives me enough trouble to be worth doing... If it were too ez I would prob lose interest really fast... But it has me very excited, all I do is think about new stuff to try..... Once I actually get a Keyboard I think the fun factor will increase.

I am gong to start looking at schools that I can handle going to, right now I have my sights set on Full Sail since it is here in Orlando.....

I still have really bad Headaches and some other symptoms, but I seem to be functioning pretty well for now.....

Retired at this age is no fun.... And because of my condition, working a reg 9-5 is out of the question.



this is why he's retired. The magic of searching :roll:

Thanx guys.... I do not think Grime meant anything neg when he asked... We talk via PM's alot. He deseres a pass......



I am not loaded. I am comfortable. I am a prime example of "You nva know what tomorrow will offer"....... No matter how young you are, please plan for your future..... I started saving at 25, but i never thought I would nee it this soon.



I was having the headaches for a few years, Docs said I was either over weight or I had Migraines... A few years go by and the pains becomes more intense and frequent... I go to a diff Doc this time (Neuro) and he finally gets scans of my head and neck..... 1 week later I get a call from the Doc, and he says I need tosee a specialist ASAP (No explanation)... I go to the specialist and am told I cannot leave the hospital, my tumor is in a location that can be fatal.... 2 days later I am having major brain and spinal surgery....... The bad thing about the situation is, that the surgery made the symptoms worse and it took 2 more years for them to figure it out (I went blind)...... I have been on pins and needles for the past 12 months hoping that my health cont to hold up. So I take it day to day.....

NO doubt fellas...... I meet people everyday who belive I am an inspiration... I don't worry about anything I do not have the power to control, and I only let family make me upset.

I take my MPC whereva I go as well if I am going to be theere for a few hours or more. I even got a power inverter for road trips so I can bang em out on the road... I originally went ot buy the 500, but SamAsh did not have the 500 and the 1K was just so pretty on the display.. .. I'll post pics of my scars in a sec if you guys wanna see... I kinda take pride in them, they remind me of how bad itt could have been.

A rar file is a compressed archive, similar to a zip file. download a copy of Winrar, which will open rar files, zip files, and other compressed file formats.

Stay strong and healthy. I see you endured alot from what you've been through.
