Well I know I've been neglecting this blog too long and I can't avoid it anymore. I'm not sure exactly how many people read whatever I write here but for those who do i assume you've been wondering where the hell I've been all this time. As you may know in June I had the lumbar area of my spine operated on. Both my doctor and I don't know exactly how I exploded the L5 S1 disc in my back but I sure as shit did. I have not experienced pain such as that in my entire life and I'm glad I got the procedure done. The first week was exceptionally painful but I was afforded wonderful drugs to mitigate the pain from the operation. My doctor did a wonderful job with the incision, making sure my tramp-stamp tattoo was lined back up properly before stitching me back together. The site needed only minimal care although it was gross as time went by and it started to weep and such. I hate to gross you all out but I can only be honest here. So anyone who needs to have back surgery I say it's not so bad and it feels wonderful to be able to walk without debilitating pain. Just be sure to check out your doctor's background before submitting to anything. I was nervous to have someone manipulating my spinal column and you should be too!
So I've been home all this time recovering and basically doing nothing. At first I wasn't allowed to do anything and appreciated using "doctor's orders" to get out of almost everything. Last year it was "I have cancer..." to avoid doing anything I didn't want to. But that's starting to lose it's effectiveness. I don't think it should considering I have a chronic form of cancer and it's quite complicated and if anything goes wrong I die. I think that's a pretty good reason to ask for a little coddling but most people are starting to see it as an excuse rather than a reason. So I'll use "doctor's orders" until I'm told otherwise. After that I'll just have to think of something else to weasel my way out of taking out the trash or driving or anything else I'm not interested in doing anymore. For those of you returning and keeping track of the developments on this site you'll notice I've added a few new tabs. One thing I've been occupying myself with is video and computer games. I was snooping around the Sims 3 forums and I found a legacy challenge post and assumed it was recent until I actually looked and saw it's like 3 years old. But anyway the concept sounded interesting and I started my own legacy story that you can find under its own tab. I haven't updated THAT either because my copy of Dragon Age 2 came in the mail and the story behind that game has me so engrossed that I've set all else aside until I finish it. I'm also working with the Sims 3 Create-a-World tool and my town is coming along slowly. But again, blame Dragon Age 2 for taking up my time from working on it.
You shall also notice that I've started digitizing my poetry and lyrics. They reside under the Work and Media tab. If you are in a band or know someone in a band or other music related field please note my lyrics are available. Don't be shy and e-mail me if you're interested in setting any of my work to music. Or if you need lyrics written up for music you're working on I'm open for collaboration as well. We can make hit music together and make a majillion bucks and retire early as the royalty checks roll in weekly.
Otherwise I've been keeping busy reconnecting with friends, hanging out, and being generally busy doing fun things. I have a feeling that full-time work will be starting again in the next few weeks so I'm trying to get in all the hanging out I can before summer is over and the eastern seaboard of the U.S. goes into hibernation. However, I'll probably be more apt to work on this website here after coming home from working a shift; I'll already be in work mode and seeing as I work in the evening and i don't really sleep anymore anyway this will keep me occupied and hopefully start making money too! Anyway, I'm off to watch Aqua Teen Something Whatever. Thank god for Adult Swim; otherwise this insomniac would be bored! Oh and be sure to check me out on Twitter and follow me. A link button to make the whole process easier should be somewhere on the top of this page. That's it for tonight. Over and out!
