Well theres a version of this thread in Do For Love, but meh to just talking but soppy (or sloppy hehehe) stuff.

So how was 2006 for you? What happened in your life? Good year or bad year?

For me, business wise it was good, clubs, tours, etc etc. We toured Phrase (AU), Savage (NZ), Ying Yang Twins and DMX, had great fun performing and stacking paper.

I guess what made that possible, and the biggest news of 2006, was that Bleezy moved back here and brought Prophit with him, so the fam was back together and we really started using our connections and got on the music hustle.

Soppy and sloppy stuff wise, broke up with girlfriend in Jan and met a great new girl a couple months ago, things are going good and I am happy.

StreetHop wise, meh, Ive really ignored the site sorry guys. Hopefully I have time to step the game up in 2007.

Health wise Ive been good, smoking too much but cant quit, TRYING, havent been too sick this year, although had lung problems mid year.

All in all 2006 was really a great year, 2007 will be even better, have more tours lined up, moving to the Gold Coast (Australia's Miami) with the crew and my girl, got a couple new club deals lined up. Things are good but very challenging but what the hell, bring it on!
 
Sorry buddy but Queensland doesn't want ya living here mate. Ha. I'm sure you'll enjoy living up here though.

2006 was one of the worser years, I decided early this year to cut the grass and see just how many snakes their were. Heaps, I cut ties with a few people I've known for along time.

I also ran into alot of situations. Personal problems, demons and for awhile there things got really hard. A few things ran through my mind which I never thought would've.

Love wise, nothing. My decision. It wasn't that I stopped embracing the chance and warmth of love but because for the most of the year I think it was best I didn't get too close to anyone.

Work was work, need a change. I got a massive pay-rise, unexpectedly. But before I could even smile I knew that money wouldn't really help my cause nor bring happiness. I didn't embrace it, still don't. Which is actually a good thing, I don't seem to be wasting any of it.

Music wise, I don't take things as serious as say Ruk so things never really pop off like that. I did alot of writing, alot of learning. I spent days in studios with some of the local artists who's mic skills are borderline scary. Just how talented they are and even scarier how much faith they have in me. More then myself. Ha.

Overall a bad year, 2 family members are in very bad shape health wise. I dunno, I've always had alot of love in my heart but it was hard maintaining that considering all the hate and darkness Ive had to overcome this year. But I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Plus I don't get upset over spilled milk, I swallow it all in. Close my eyes. Continue on my way in this sphere of chaos we call life.

2007 will be tremendous for me, I'll do everything in my powers to make sure of that. That's my promise, if it be my only one.

peace.
 
I haven't played basketball is 4 months cus of a slowly slowly healing broken hand, I'm goin crazy. But this year has been real good.
 
it was pretty cool. more school than i ever expected. started to forget what sleep was like. met a lot of cool and interesting people from all over the world and with good musical talents. finally got to put some enigneering skills to work in a real studio this past month. so it ended on a good note. im about to graduate with my first degree then start deciding where to go after that. i would still like to work on another degree but if i can find a nice studio that will give me a chance i'll probably go for it.
 
2006 sucked the balls i didnt have but opened my personality up to new depths i didnt know were there, i learned a lot about me even less about people and more about my enemies...

i decided not to have any expectations about others because im either pleasantly shocked or more often than not disappointed so ima work for what i want but thats about it...

so for 2007 im open to wtv life throws my way
 
Tough question. I've gotten into a habit of seeing life in school time. A year starts for me every September and ends every June, lol. But, I'll try to reflect on some things.

From January to June this year, most of the time was spent with my high school friends, kicking it, and doing the nuts and bolts of transitioning from high school to college. I was in a short relationship with a girl I did not like at all, it was foolish of me and I came off as a very boring boyfriend probably, which is not who I think I am at all. Overall, it was a period of waking up every day and looking forward instead of waking up every day thinking "How can I better my life today and not look to the summer?"

In Mid-June, I embarked on a 3 month long trip to Bosnia and visited Serbia, Croatia, and Montenegro. The trip was extremely fun and enriching. After that, I've began to value family much more and I'm trying to keep in contact a lot more. It's hard though, I'm on one end, they're on another end of the planet. Two different worlds. Plus, I realized that I'm too used to this kind of life here than there and that has affected me already but will have huge effects on my future.

When school started in September, I realized that my high school was pathetic. However, I was still ready to do well and I had confidence in myself. I finished the quarter with a 3.6 overall GPA which is solid for my first ever college quarter. It's an A-, I believe. I've learned a lot and gained new aspirations towards what I want to do in life. Also, I've learned to be myself a lot more and not what other people want me to be. I know it sounds cliche and it's easily said, but it's not easy to do. I've realized I don't really like crazy, party girls. They annoy me and are too flat and bore me. I realized that I don't like one night stands and random hook ups and that I'm longing for a relationship.

Overall, I've grown in many ways and my future looks fairly good on paper. As for my happiness, I'm in a hot pursuit of it, low on gas with the engine about to overheat.

Also, I'm waiting for the time to come when I can tell myself that money doesn't matter to me and that I can embark on a career or a way of life that will enrich me and bring me happiness without the thought of "But, I'm not making any money and everybody I know is" running through my head. I don't like money really, and I wish more people around me didn't either so I don't feel socially pressured to go and make lots of money.
 
Hmm, well I had a full-on first 6 months working and studying 7 days a week which was too much for me - I got burnt out.

Then I went overseas for 6 months - worked in a pub in England and a hotel in Scotland, then went on a tour of Europe. Had a great time except for getting really sick in England but that had a positive as it instigated the move to Scotland which must have been fate or destiny or something because I met some of the most incredible people there who have changed my life and my whole perspective.

Love - I broke up with my bf in January and then my love life was non-existant for a long time. Then I met a guy in Scotland and we're still together.

Healthwise I am fine now, slightly heavier from my travels though which is my main concern right now, lol! No-one else can tell but I can and I hate it.

Streethop-wise, I was here a bit too much in the beginning of the year but then disappeared and now I'm back in Australia so I hope to be here sometimes but not ALL the time like before!

Being away has made me appreciate my home, my family and this awesome fucking country, lol. So all the experiences this year, good and bad, will hopefully make me and all the years to come better!
 
Well it's been another great year for me.

Spent the year all over the country. First I was in Maryland for a bit. Then I went down to New Orleans for two months which was amazing. From there I went back up north to Connecticut and finally back down south where I spent a few more months in Mississippi along the coast and back in New Orleans. During that time there were plenty of hard work, parties, bars, mardi gras, girls, great friends and great times and way too many adventures to tell of or explain. But the year wasn't all fun times, my grandmother passed away a few weeks ago which was really hard on me. But the year is not over yet. I will be spending Christmas here with my family and then on the 28th I'm moving to Austin, TX and will have my birthday and new years to celebrate there.
 
This year was okay... still finishing my classes up at a community college (VCC), got a decent job working at this telemarketing company, met some cool people along the way...things are just fine...i hope for better things in 2007....
 
Soppy and sloppy stuff wise, broke up with girlfriend in Jan and met a great new girl a couple months ago, things are going good and I am happy.

lol


anyway, 06 was a normal year. nothing much really. just a year where i started establishing myself.
 
Well this year was the best new for me that i have had for the past few years.

Work wise - ok still at the same place a few bad days, but hey don't we all.

Soppy stuff, I met Dave in January we have been seeing each other for over 10 months now and things are going really well. It is safe to say that i am the happiest i have ever been and i'm feeling good. I won't go on about it!

On the bad side, i have failed to pass my driving test a few times this year (the last time today!) so go into the new year still being unable to drive - which sucks.

I had a couple of health problems this year - one of which stopped me from putting weight on, but since i had my op i am ok, and i have gained 8lbs so it's all good. The second problem, won't go into details -ladies problems and we will leave it at that.

So yeah i look forward to spending christmas and new year with my boyf :)
 
iiii gues its been alright still with the g/f thats 1.5 yrs now, seemed to have done nothing but eat sleep and work tho :/ things to look forward to next year? new car i reckon, pay rise hopefully, finish nvq's. see'in the lads
 
2006 was probably the craziest year of my life so far for so many reasons, I think I changed a lot, grew up a lot, I feel so much more of a man than I did a year ago, It was a good year overall, money wise, love wise, pretty much everything...bring on 07
