The Shortest Straw

OK... here's the news. I have a partially torn ligament and a strained thigh muscle, which has me in a world of pain the likes of which I hope you've never experienced. It's almost as bad as when I had to have my back operated on. One of the doctors stated that there may be a slight chance that the problems are related, but we'd need an MRI exam to determine that for sure. So basically I'm being told that there's a chance that I may never drum again. To the doctors I say fuck that, cuz I don't believe in it or them, but it really struck me as odd how some people close to me took it... like it was an inconvenience to them... not really concerned with what I was facing, but more to how it pertained to their little world. I was seriously stunned... but oh well, it's been that kind of week. It sucks that we cancelled the show this Friday at Skate City, but we agreed that it's a good idea for me to conserve my energy for the Random Music festival show that we're playing in Phoenix on Nov. 29. It's like 35 bands on 3 stages over 3 days... what a deal. Tony Pitt & Leena went to Disneyland for Tony's B-Day on Tuesday (so much for band solidarity, huh? lol)... the recordings should be done sometime next week... HOPEFULLY... I love the drugs that the doctors have prescribed to me. It's like being on legal heroin and I could definitely get used to this. I don't know if not being able to feel your body is a good thing though. When I wake up in the morning I'm in all kinds of pain, but once I take me meds... it's party time! I'm planning on doing a lot of stuff to the web site, since I have all this time to kill with fuck all to do. Except to play that new Zelda collection that just came out for Game Cube. It's got all the original games on one CD. That and the new Simpson's game. We're supposed to take some press pictures sometime soon... and I'm soooooo hoping to have this recording deal done by the end of the month... that would be so cool to have happen...
