well Serge, i guess alot

im a new father, and thats a tuff job. granted, i love it, but in all honesty i wasent ready for all this and neather was my girl. my nerves are worn thin.

ive taken on a few new projects recently, and its just been over burdening. im swamped day in day out with work, and it just piles up. the more i do the more i have to do. i get no break. if i sit here for 10 hours it just means ill be here 11 tomrrow.

im just deep in life right now, and ive just got myself tied into THE BIGGEST project of my lifetime (to be announced soon) and im all ready drowning.

i dunno Serge, i guess life is eatin me. anyways, id like to hang out here for a lil while if thats ok by you? if its not, i understand.

yeah, the stress you are under shows...
I'll quote Nitzshe, hope you find some comfort in it:
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

we ALL went thru what you are going thru now and guess what?
50 years from now people we'll be going thru the SAME thing..
it was, it is, it will be
;-)

[brand0n]

shows that bad eh?

you know Serge, with all the bullshit that you and i have been through, ive always respected you. I consider you very wise. figured im in this deep might as well spill it all

anyways, i think im just gonna get up, and walk away from this computer for a few days and see if that helps. lord knows i could use the time with my family.

[Winetalk.com]

grogan,
I deleted your post for being immature,
non-insightful and GFY like,
it doiesn't bode well with the NEW Oprano we are re-launching,
I hope you understand...
shape up or ship out

[brand0n]

grog, ive got a million worrys right now and money isnt one of them. we all know that if you apply yourself in this biz, money will come. well it came. im not broke, if that was the probs then i could just get a loan from my buddy steve from chi town.

you are a smart boy, at least you try working yourself into one, I can see that, I'mn sure you understand.

Know how that feels... Pace yourself and don't be afraid to let your customers know if things are going to be late on delivery... As long as you keep in touch with folks, most of them understand about how life can sometimes get in the way of business......

Oh I'm sure you have different thoughts on some of my posts than I do. I wouldn't have it any other way. You should see some of the brandon stalking I've put up with though, I like to kick *certain* people when they are down ya see.

[brand0n]

guys, im not wanting this at all.. this is the kinda stuff im tryin to get the fuck away from. grogan and me have a past, just like me and you do Serge, and just like all things, we moved on. Id like for that to happen with grogan to tell you the truth. hell, we are involved in alot of the same things last i heard, we might even stand to make some money together..

eather or, Serge, mind if i chill here for awhile? more so then what i normally do? give you my word i will conduct myself as a complete gentleman.

Thanks for the post. It sometimes helps to get insight to peoples lives to understand them.

Do you think a board based on Quality not Quantity can survive in todays busniess environment?

In the same things? Past together? What are you talking about?

The only past I have with you is when I make a post, your sig usually follows it.


Sorry your feeling the pressures of life, all you need to do is learn to enjoy the things that don't suck that make up for the things that do.

didnt you start your own double opt in program? i have one as well. and some killer insite on how to get around those damn filters with your confermation emails, and the ads you send afterwards. just becouse aol tells you that you are a white listed ip, dont mean that your mail is getting in. if you want to get together and share some tips (that is if you are still involed in this) im more then willing to have a pow wow.

and mike, i think that a board that has a great crowd of smart people will do better in the long run then a colaberation of idiots arguing with themselfs over who makes the most money.

I do. Hell, just look at Kirby vacuums. I have never seen an ad for them, you can only buy them from door to door people and finding one of them to come visit you is not real easy. Most of their advertising has been purely word of mouth. They have managed to sell vacuums for 90 years based on their quality.

http://www.kirby.com/

I think in the long run, quality will always outlast quantity.
