Just interested...I work a bit at a supermarket (lame job haha)..but it's enough to support myself, but am a firm believer that beyond having enough money to get by, work is not worth the effort, and extra money will not bring me more happiness.

So what do you do?
. . . jobs? studying? drugs? charity work? jail time?

I started a new job last Tuesday. Was unemployed for some months before then. Those months consisted of petty hustling, smokin herb, popping rolls, drinkin, and a short coke experience. Now i don't any of that shit. Just trying to get my life back together. Done the jail time thing, drugs, gangbangin, blah blah blah. Now I just chill and screw around with the couple pieces of gear I have. Oh, and nerd out on a few forums.

Work. Boring. Enough about that.

Family Life. Very rewarding (my daughter, who is two, loves to be in the studio already

) My missus also likes to bang deh fat beats, so that's good too.

Camping/Fishing. How good is it to set up on a river, throw in a line, take OFF the watch, and reeeeelaaaaax!?!

Raving. Yes, still. Obviously not in the oldschool thursday-sunday, 24 hour party people manner! But we still try to make it to earthcore or kryal or rainbow serpent at least a coupla times a year. Don't go to rave clubs anymore though - house clubs are better for old farts :lol:

Reading. Love a good book. Reading "The Secret River" by Kate Grenville at the mo' - true story about a convict in 1807 setting up on the Hawksbury River and having a big run-in with the locals (aboriginals). Quite an eye-opener. And our prime minister reckons we've got nothing to say sorry for...

That's me in a nutshell. Oh I'm a bit of a forum addict too :wink:

.

PS - I worked in supermarkets for nearly 15 years myself; nothing to be ashamed of, even though they do treat their employees as paid slaves.

I go digging a lot (just found the original shaft LP (1990) yesterday).
I smoke weed, I skate, I draw and stuff like that, I get bored pretty fast.

I actually like my job

I work for an non profit outreach and we do a 4 elements hip hop event every week. Only problem is, I have to raise my own support (paycheck) which is really awkward so I dont make much just yet...lol so in the meantime I deliver chinese food about 10 hours a week. When im not working and not doing music...the other like 5% of my week involves going out to dope local venues every now and again, reading, sleeping and playing outdoor lasertag
