We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. The Jewelry Man.telling you that being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.

In "I'm gonna act like I ain't tripping of that music money after Jay pulled the rug from underneath me" news, the shoulder shake homey Damon Dash says he done with music because the money's too small.

Oh really EbenGregory.do you think he'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money?

Yes.

The Jewelry Man is informed that Dash, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records (with Jay-Z) said he is sick of the "pennies' available to him in hip-hop, and that he will now focus on fashion and other areas of entertainment instead of the musical art form.

Here's Damon Dash to EbenGregory on being sick of the pennies he gets from Hip-Hop: I couldn't buy what I wanted to buy. I'm talking cooks and drivers. I got into clothes to make money. The music business isn't so profitable, especially not hip-hop.

Here's Damon Dash to EbenGregory what he's doing now that he's not chasing pennies: Now that I've sold my stake in Roc-A-Fella and Rocawear, I'm focusing on clothing, watches and alcohol. It's all about finding ways to make money off an upscale urban product. That's what I do. Period.

Interesting.give me that last sound byte EbenGregory and make it good.

Here's Damon Dash to EbenGregory on why Hip-Hop money is not enough to keep him going: Not many people understand how important having a butler is. I need somebody to help me get everything I'm going to wear for the day all set up, know what I'm saying?

Oh The Jewelry Man knows what you're saying. You mean that if you know how rich you are, you are not rich right? And speaking of trying to understand.

Here's some rich man jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on Damon Dash talking jazz because the question on everybody's lips is "Yo, where Dame at?": Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

And speaking of being happy.let me show you how to smile again: MySpace.com/ebengregory.
