Slowly going the way of the Buffalo...

I remember hearing that title of one of MxPx's albums. I used to listen to that album alot. Good times.
I am SLOWLY starting to feel better. It has been a day by day thing. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much here because a few weeks back I had a brief trend of a good 3-4 days. After that I went back downhill. I'm praying this time its for good. I have lost a few pounds, but no where near what my target weight is. I hope to combat this with more exercise and a better diet. I was *cough cough* FORCED to cheat last week when I went overtown for school. I know its much easier eating out of your own fridge where you can choose to eat better. On the mainland it seems like I only have the option of the choice of a number 1 or 5. UGH. Anyways.

I read some awesome news of new music in the works for TOOL. I'm stoked. They are hands-down the best band I have ever seen live. Maynard really knows how to own the crowd.

Until next time.

illness amongst us...

So it seems like the past month has been that of a very, very hard one. I have still been dealing with my dizzy issues. Next doc appointment is next Friday. I hope this one has some promise, but I will try and not get my hopes up too much. I have alot of my previous 5 doctor bills coming in left and right while none of them have been able to correctly diagnose just what the hell is actually going on with my body. UGH. Frustrating.
But just as I start playing my small invisible violin, I see just how little my petty problems are. My father has a bad back infection from a previous surgery he had. He had to be admitted into the hospital and underwent another surgery to remove all the previous infected hardware. During his stay he also found out that he had pneumonia. Wonderful. The back surgery is done and he is scheduled to come home today. I know he is happy to be home with his dog. I owe a big thanks to my friend of many years- Mr. Curlee. I cant thank him enough for taking the time out of his day to drive my mom around. That's the other issue- my poor mother is still trying to recover her sight in her left eye from a surgery she had over a month ago. She is not able to drive, and really depends on my family to get her around. Speaking of getting around- my brothers transmission in his car seems to be failing. Wow- when it rains, it pours- right???
Today I am @ work, with my cohort Justin. We are going to be putting in a power-pack into our biggest engine. I need the overtime, and I know that he does now as well... He's gonna be a dad! Haha, I am very much stoked for both him and his better half. Cheers!
Anyways, onward with this day...
