Google seems to think it's an okay brand. I don't know anything about them. I'm less knowledgeable about acoustics anyway. That ams granpa guitars.

A combination of midlife crisis, exhaustion and just general weariness of doing same shit for almost a decade straight at 60+ hours a week. I do a lot of management which I despise and that I'm good at, but its not my forte. Dealing with people and personalities is tiring and aggravating to me. I've always been more of the idea man, rather than day to day manager.
My entire life for the past few years more or less consisted of posting here, working, and sleeping. At this point, I pretty much hate where I am in life.
There were also additional external factors that befell the company that were outside my control. Eventually, I just threw my hands up and said I cant do this anymore because I'll die at 37 either from a stroke or from suicide. So I resigned from the company, turned it over to my partners (who will probably run it into the ground without me unless they find a very knowledgeable manager) and walked out the door.

No homo, bro, music is great for reducing stress. It's been an absolute lifesaver for me, and great for my social life to boot. I.e. I have one now, where I didn't have much of one a year or two ago.

Music isnt going to solve everything here, I need to make some significant life changes.
I'm happier in the last few weeks than I have been in years. I'm just getting up at 10 am, making breakfast, feeding my cat, shooting the shit with you tards, and then going down to the basement to build my own furniture.
I always thought that owning your business would liberate you, and in the way it has because you can do whatever you want whenever you want in theory. But in reality it way more constricting than a 9-5 job ever could be because in reality you never leave the office even if you're physically not there. A lot of people immediately trot out that work/life balance shit, but good luck with that when you have to do the jobs of 2-3 people.

I took enough money to live comfortably for a few months. I live modestly.
I dont know whats next for me. I interviewed with one non-profit here in Chicago a few times and it looks like there's a good chance I'll get the job. Otherwise, there are 100k-150k jobs around the country that I am well qualified for, but its doing same shit I've been doing for large multi-billion dollar corporations but with probably a lot less stress.
I'm 32, I got a boatload of experience, I've been an exec for large companies and an entrepreneur. Recruiters love seeing that stuff. I'm not attached to anything or to anyone, so I can pick up and move wherever work takes me. Right now, I'm just riding bicycles, talking to hoes on OkCupid, cleaning up cat puke, and puttering around in the basement. You know, man shit.

As far as hobbies go it's pretty difficult. It's a niche hobby, requires some specific tools that take effort to find, requires actual skill to produce anything useful and you need a somewhat isolated environment to do it in (As in you have to live in the country or you'll upset your neighbors). Oh and if you have soft programmer hands like me you'll only be able to do it for an hour at a time until you build up calluses.
It's one of those skills where if you enjoy hitting hot metal with a hammer it's great, if you don't it's terrible. Crafting wood furniture is probably more rewarding and enjoyable. Only thing I don't like about carpentry is staining the wood.
