I am alive!
I had an endoscopic L4/L5 decompression surgery on 11/1 and it has done the trick! The nagging pain that had grown increasingly worse in my left leg is completely gone. And all through an incision only a half an inch long. Quite amazing really. This was my first trip to the hospital (except when I had my tonsils out when I was...

Two months of pain with little improvement has me looking for more drastic measures. I'm scheduled for surgery on 11/1/11. Sounds like the first day of the rest of my life. Let's hope so.
Wish me luck!
Wish me luck!

I sorta miss them too. 
They've gone on holiday.
Good luck with the surgery! Goodness. I hope it all goes smoothly.

Damn. I have been in so much pain the last week! Bulging discs in my back compressing the sciatic nerve. Wowzy!!! Never experienced pain like that before and for days on end?!?! It is really a transcendent experience. Wish I could say it is over. I can still feel that bugger in my left leg though. Went to the emergency room this morning after I...

Back pain is horrible. I have a scoliosis since I was 12. Sometimes, but rarely, I feel that uncomfortable, annoying pain in my left leg too. Although it isn't too strong, it's strong enough to make me upset.
Hope you feel better soon!

I'm officiating a wedding!!
My best friend and his fiance asked me to officiate their wedding. I think they asked me mainly because they've seen me perform in plays and do spoken word and poetry slam but also because we lived together for several years and they consider me family. They are both non-traditional people so I knew a priest or minister was not in...

Frustrated!
Just finished producing a record and can not get the mastering right. I have advised the band to pay to have a specialist do it but they don't want to pay. This is my 15th record!! I know what I'm talking about. That is why you brought me in to begin with.
Met a woman who keeps astounding me. I'm older than most of...

Had a great time in Portland (again!). That town has an amazing energy. Unfortunately I can barely breathe now. Smoking is so good and so bad. Time to take a break from that filth. Booked my trip to NY at the end of September though. Somehow, I think my lungs (and liver) will take a beating again.
Better busy than bored I always say. July has been a busy month for me.

Listening to Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown. Wow!! I really like it. I had read so many reviews that said it was crap I was reluctant to buy it. I don't know why I put so much stock in other people's opinions, especially when I know that my tastes run contrary to most. I guess I am just a social creature. That is...

Cheers for the recommendations! I'll put it on the 'to see' list. 
Haha nice song. Go freaky people!

After the bare requisites to living and reproducing, man wants most to leave some record of himself, a proof, perhaps, that he really existed. He leaves his proof on wood, on stone or on the lives of other people. This deep desire exists in everyone, from the boy who writes dirty words in a...

I'm off to the physio so hopefully it will be helpful. I've been watching my posture and sitting angles too! So much to consider, but well worth the long-term benefits I think.
Thank you for dropping by.

She drove it like she stole it,
She stole it fast and with a multitude of casualties.
She said "I shipped it out from Boulder. Packed in coffee grounds and wrapped around in dryer sheets"
We spent a few months just wandering the Sonoma
High as hell and shivering and smashed
We were trying for a vision quest, we opened up three buttons, and all...
