Dowg Strikes Back! - Ruste Dowg - 03-03-2010
Well it's been a long time since i've visited one of my old daily haunts, some of you maybe suprised to see me back after some of the rumours i heard going around! So for the record lets put a few things straight...No.1 I was never arrested and put behind bars by new line or time warner bros!No.2 I never left the fright stuff teamNo.3 Ken Tarallo didn't have me killed for leaving the fright stuff team lol!No.4 At no point in the last year did i lose my life in an accident that involved drink drugs or a boating accident (sorry jeff <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> )No.5 I didn't have anything to do with Michael Jackson's deathNo.6 I sure as hell didn't win the lottery!No.7 At no point was i kidnapped by former fright stuff artists and held for ransom that my now ex-wife refused to pay and was left tied to a chair in the desert!No.8 I did not release a book that became a world wide best seller, well not yet anyway!No.9 I did not get asked to manage the England football team.No.10 I have not murdered anybody or been arrested for murder.No.11 I was not 'on tour' with Tiger Woods.No.12 I have not become a 'recluse'Well i hope that clears a few things up!Truth be told i have had one hell of a year and i'm not one to 'air' my personal life around on forums but there are a few of you out there that know bits and bobs of what happened that if i give you all the big picture then we all know the truth.This time last year i ended my 11 year marriage for personal reasons, leaving my kids was the hardest thing i have ever done but as the separation was amicable i still saw the kids almost everyday, that was until i fell by the way side a little and was admitted/comitted to hospital for sometime, once rested and assessed and re-assessed i was back out on the mend but had no home no money etc. Moved into a small self contained space and started to get my life back on track, had a few set backs along the way, messed around by a few people that owed me money and messed around by a few women (yes that's right clowny, at last a few girls got their own back for all the messing around i did in the past lol!) had a death in the family that hit me hard too but managed to keep my head together this time and pull myself out.Life is looking much better now, i have my own car (those of my friends on face book will know how much i love that thing!) which has been a project to get running but great fun and in 5 years time will be classed as a classic over here <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />I have been in a relationship now since october with the most beautiful intelligent woman i have ever met and i count myself lucky every morning i wake up and look at her (yes clowny i really did just say that!) She's 25 i'm 35 and that's why they call me the Dowg lol!We're moving in to a place of our own real soon, fingers crossed with a new workshop!As for the hockey masks for the time being i am painting again but with no workshop of my own right now i am reduced to just painting, customers can by cut and drilled blanks from ken along with straps and hardware and get them sent to me for painting.I've missed all you guys, even the ones i have had fights and arguments with in the past! There were times in the last year i wanted to speak to you all at some point weither it was to vent or laugh or get mad at lol! but with no home and no internet connection i was stuck out in the woods!My connection is limited at the moment until i get a place sorted, we're staying with parents for now until we get all the deposit saved etc but soon as that's done i'll be back around daily <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" />Good to be back guys, hope you all hadn't forgotten about me <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" />

Dowg Strikes Back! - Ruste Dowg - 03-03-2010
lol! Thanks guys! No number 5 certainly had nothing to do with me!Although i can't deny that there was a drunken falling off a boat that did involve a near drowing incident and two broken ribs <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":whistling:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"whistling.gif\" />

Its just good to have you back Darren, you have been missed mate. I knew you had problems in your personal life, and I am so glad things are working out for you now! I have been , and still am in the same situation with the kids, and it is hard, but it sure does get easier mate, as long as you still see them on a regular basis! Keep in touch my friend. We must get together for a beer soon, its been too long! I THINK I SPEAK FOR US ALL, WHEN I SAY....... WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
