Best of luck mate whatever you get up2. Often if you take a break from something you love then it just shows yourself that you really do love it (you dont know what you've got till its gone!)

Comet will be missed on the site, he has helped the site more than anyone else ever has, above and beyond the call of duty, his efforts have helped put hardcore on the map and shaped the minds of countless people.... Comet your truly a friend and I personally will never forget what you have done for me and the site. I salute you.

Comet, I can see your reasoning and think you are right to do what you feel is right. All the best

If you liked this post why not get up and do a dance in honour of it.

I never said I was stopping.. I just said I'm taking a break.

The main reason I feel this way is because I want it to be fun. Not a job. And by working at hhc.com, it's a job to me and it changes from something fun to something I have to do. I don't want to HAVE to mix. I want to mix on my own time. I don't want to HAVE to produce. I want to produce when I feel right.

I'm not going away. I'm just toning down and trying to get back into the music as I was before. I want to do things on my own time. Bookings are awesome. Something to look forward to. But when there is something I am required to do every week involving it, it isn't fun.

Damn it, Alex, look at what you're saying!
Everyone is REQUIRED to do something to get anywhere in life! I canNOT believe you are saying this! This past whenever you've been a total whiny 6-year-old! It's like you never grew up!

Alex, damn it, if hardcore really is a job, then it might as well be job you ENJOY. You get to wake up whenever the hell you want to, you get to eat for as long as you want, you can work as much or as little as possible. Being self-employed is the greatest, least stressful job you can get.

You'll take bookings but you won't work? That's pathetic! It's like working when you're TOLD to work, like someone has to tell you to get up and do something. What are you going to do instead of hardcore? Hang out? I can understand that... but geez, Alex. If mixing is your ONLY hobby... what the hell are you going to do until you come back?

If this is your way of saying "I won't mix for a long time," then so be it! But please, you work one hour a WEEK. I work 30 hours a week and I can't even drive yet!!

Please, Shaun and I need to have a confrence with you via Skype. This is getting out of hand and ridiculous. Maybe Silver should join too. He is, after all, your boss.

I still love you, but Lord in Heaven help you! I've prayed and prayed, and I doubt that THIS is God's will.

Love, Rita

Before I get yelled at...

I know that post seemed brutal, but there's a lot that's been going on backstage.

Some people will accept my decision and wish me farewell. I thank those who feel that way. Others will hate it and want to change it. But the fact is, nothing will change my decision. My decision is my decision for a reason. And nothing will change it.

Good for you, stand up for what you believe in and don't let others change your mind.
