Hi djttoolers - from the REAL BentoSan

[BentoSan]

I'm missing out on why you left. What happened ? This whole comeback thing got me curious

A few reasons:

1) My computer was quite literally falling apart - bits were coming off and the thing was cronicly overheating despite my best attempts at fixing it.

2) DJTT turned into a grind when i was no longer able to create the art i wanted to - definitely burnt out there big time.

3) The GFC totally skrewed up my line of work - I've had to change industries (from new housing to virtually recession proof insurance work).

4) All of the above left me in a pretty bad mental state that was really no fun at all.

5) There was no way i would ever be able to afford a house going the way i was going - personally i see getting myself into a house of my own being one of the most important things i need to achieve to set myself up properly financially.

6) I moved a fair number of times in a short period - intact i still have 1 last move to make when i get a house of my own.

All thats been taken care of though pretty much -

Working in a different in industry that pays well and is very stable.

Got a deposit for a mortgage together (just waiting for the housing market here to finish crashing so i can swoop in on the bottom of the market).

Got a new reliable computer rig to create my art with.

Mentally I am in a much better state now my life has returned to something resembling normality.

Even got myself a nice GF I'm very happy with along the way - so things are looking up a lot more

Anyways.... both the mac and the mackies arrived today !! super stoked, now i just need to make room to setup some of my rig in this pissy little room i am in (ill never be able to fit everything in here) and get coding.

Looking forward to demonstrating some epic new ideas with you all !

Wait till i move out and create a proper studio room its going to be effin epic packed >=) going all out with soundproofing and some major acoustic treatment. It will all home grown DIY work however i have a thing about doing pretty much anything i lay my hands on to a very high quality finish. I actually do drywalling as the main part of my job now so i definitely have the skills to pull it off.

Ill definitely considering blogging the experience when i do get to that stage.

Yeah, when all craziness drops here, I plan to be DIY-ing my attic studio as well.
(Moved 2 times this year and became a dad again in October, so yeah, been a crazy year for me as well. )
