Folks, I'm an idiot. I have suffered a traumatic head injury (when I was 16), and I am still recovering.

Fellow idiot and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sufferer here.

If and when you ever want to talk about it, I'm here.
 
Johnny,

You know the difference between you and the "perfect" people out there? The perfect people have no idea what real joy feels like because they have never experienced real pain. The perfect people do not know what it feels like to truly love because they have no idea what it feels like to hate yourself. They have no appreciation for peace of mind, because they have never experienced a mind full of chaos.

No doubt you go through some tough times being who you are, but count your lucky stars that you are blessed with the ability to actually feel things instead of going through the motions like a robot.

Your need for humiliation comes from your frustration with feeling different, and feeling like you don't fit in with the "normal" people. But there are plenty of us out here who won't judge you, and think you are more perfect and more normal than the perfectly normal people could ever dream of being.

Hang in there buddy. And whatever you do, don't take life advice from Steve Miller, or I guarantee you'll end up naked in a Mexican jail somewhere with a weird tattoo and a half bottle of some really strange tasting whiskey in your hand. :sqcool:
 
In Remission for 27 Years

Johnny:

Believe me, I understand the suicide thing. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that could not be removed via surgery. My options were radiation, chemo, prayer, or suicide. Against all advice I opted for prayer.

I went back for x-rays on my birthday and low and behold the tumor was significantly reduced in size. Three months later it was even smaller and eventually was gone.
 
Johnny: Keep the faith!

I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and at this time they are classifying it as benign. What will the future will bring? I don't know. I'm just taking one day at a time.

It's too bad that so many miles separate us. I would really like to meet you someday.

Because I am a frequent user, and you should see the scars on my buttocks from her whip!

No we shouldnt :sqembarrassed:

Johnny it took me years to learn that **** happens and you got to get past it. Its all little more than learning experiences

Im going to PM you my phone numbers if you ever want someone to listen or someone to listen to (im known to babble) call me
 
Van's are easily replaced.

Johnny's aren't.
Jay is correct. Keep your head high and keep on going. Besides you spin vinyl what could be better? ;)
 
Johnny, hang in there. You've been a good friend to me for over a year now on DJ forums, and even though we've never met, I consider you a good friend.
We all make mistakes, its what makes us human. We learn from them and grow, thats just what we do. If you didn`t feel this way, you wouldn't be human.
Just look at this post so far and see the impact YOU have made on all of us.
Life isn't easy, but we move forward together. There isn't a day that goes by that I don`t have some depressed moments and think about the tough things in my life.
I recently learned my father has cancer. It started out as prostate cancer, but the doctors have found that is has spread to his chest and shoulders. It is very hard for me and my family. Its hard to see your father suffer.
But I have to be strong, for my family and especially him.
I'm the oldest.
Johnny, you should be around friends & family, not alone, especially since you are feeling this way. You don`t have to talk to them about it if you are not ready, but don`t be alone.
You can contact me if you ever need to talk buddy!
 
Johnny,

Buy Caps vinyl collection. That will keep you so busy for a few years, you'll forget the accident :sqbiggrin:

I will second the beer motion by EK though. I've found, when I was down, if I got drunk, I got downer. Then I upchucked, and slept it off.

The next day though, I felt so sick, I didn't have the time or energy to worry about myself...

Steve's method sounds cool as well, although I would have no first hand knowledge of Mexican jails and such ;)
 
johnny, you da man! don't forget it for a second. I really enjoy everything you put into your business, not to mention your funny posts here at odjt
Life with Steve Miller? I mean c'mon! Chuck the DJ ain't gonna cut it by himself around here.

Damnit, I'll wear the chicken suit commando style, then send it back to Jfactor if that'll make you happy!

And yes, I know what you mean when you say all you want us to do is "know" that something is going on.

My crappy attempts at humor just now isn't as important as the fact you opened up. You don't want help, you just want us to "know."

You've learned that much over the years; a true mark of wisdom my man....

My bit of wisdom:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the DJ gear I cannot change.
The courage to change the gear I can,
and the wisdom not to tell my wife!

That's what keeps me goin' man.....

We all love you man. You are irresistable and intriguing.
 
And you know this because...



Johnny, I know alittle about this too. I've been through it. The accident gave you another glimpse of your mortality, and you got reflective, and brought back a lot of negative stuff, which you wanted out there. Excellent. Now go back and reflect on the great stuff you were talking about in the first post. I'm betting the good stuff comes out way ahead, and even on a bad day evens out.

Just an observation- not trying to help or nuthin'.......
 
Now go back and reflect on the great stuff you were talking about in the first post.

You know, I'm thinking that I was being too "smart" and too "proud". It is not my role to preach to anybody, and that is what I did.

OK, so I paid a price and now I know how much people care and I don't need to impress anybody--unless I have an insightful answer to a posed question.

Nothing more...nothing less.

I'm moving on.

I'm going to WALK to my hairdresser right now, to get a hair cut and drop off some more of my PROMO packs.

Thanks.

AND, just for the RECORD, my mortality is not what has ever concerned me; rather, it's my idiotness--believe it or not, I gots tonnes of that, and THAT is what I am always trying to put behind me...but it always comes back, STRONGER than ever before.

:)
 
Vinyl I have one more thing to say (I think)

I know you are feeling better by now, but of course I can see there might be a few issues still lingering......but.............

I look forward to your posts! So keep them coming!

I do prefer your funny posts though..... :sqwink: !!!!!!!!!!!!


Thats one of the reason I stay on here!

Thanks,
Adam

ps....I know you have several people you can talk to, if needed, and I will also extend a hand! Even if you dont need it right now!

We are all 100% behind ya, so get better bud!
 
There's something about the feeling of a new haircut that really does make you feel better isn't there? :rofl:

No. But it looks nice.

I got some records, though! That makes me feel OK!
