There's the Indiana Jones 'challanges' he had to face to obtain the Holy Grail and save his Dad (Sean connery) at the end of the movie...Then there's the challanges Richie had to face to obtain our Holy Grail (Jenya). This is his own description of his ordeal.

Wow, where to begin . .
2013 started off as the toughest year of my life.
I had 3 brain surgeries, almost died twice, got infected from meningitis, had a heart attack, went into a coma for 40 days, spent 4 1/2 months in a hospital, had to learn to walk and talk again and had 100,000k worth of equipment stolen from me. But I survived. I made it. I'm still here and still rolling stronger and harder than ever.
I built a new studio, launched a record label, trademarked a brand, mixed 16 songs on Monsta Squad and just scheduled filming for the 1st of 7 videos on Sunday. I secured partners, got the funding and met the woman of my dreams.
I don't think I could feel any more grateful sitting here at a cabin in Big Bear with the woman I love being able to write about it.
Don't wake me, I wanna see how this dream ends.
Blessings to everyone that wouldn't give up on me, even when I had doubts.
Have a kick ass New Year's.
Goodbye 2013 . .
Damn, what an experience. At 40 days in a coma, he's lucky to have come out without disability.
I wish him well in his new life with Jenya.
Amen D.J. Amazing intestinal fortitude and will to live and succeed in life. Says a lot about him. Also, about Jenya. How many great looking women like Jenya would start a relationship with a guy who's had so much sadness in such a short time? Most of them would leave so fast they'd leave skid marks. Maybe these two are destined to be together. Like you, I wish them both much happiness together.
