What have I been doing lately?

Well firstly, the last two years for me have been pretty shitty. Health problems got me really down. I had pains around my lower ribs. After a scan of this area, they found a lump on my kidney “argh crap” shit load of tests later, the doctors where not very helpful; the lump was most likely completely harmless and it was just a coincidence that it was found because of these unrelated pains I was getting. So I asked my doctor (ex-doctor :-/ sheesh) for a referral to a muscle/physio specialist as that is what the pain felt like; sore muscles close to the surface around my lower ribs and stomach.

I went to the specialist and she discovered it was deferred pain coming from my back! yay. i know what it is now! it was such a relief. So she gave me exercises and the pain has pretty much gone. Actually, I get pain in my back a bit now but its not as annoying. I just have to keep up the exercises and SIT UP STRAIGHT!

The problem was most likely caused by my long hours at my computers. Worse still, I used to have my tiBook and PC next to one and other and I would twist my torso to use one or the other. Hint: DON’T DO THIS! It’s quite bad for you :P

Anyway. that’s over (kinda) and I am feeling better. Now I really have to start making money, my girlfriend has been looking after me too long. We both want to travel, both more around Australia and over seas.

I just put an ad in the local news paper for internet and computer tuition and I am ramping up to sell justmake here. Things should be good.

I have been much more productive. Relying on email, not chat and IMs, I have been putting much more time into making music, music related stuff and my website; this blog being only part of that. I am doing a remix for sinebag which I am way behind schedule with. I am stuck. I have 2 mins 30 second of it done and don’t know where to go next :(

I think I have been trying to get a certain sound i hear in other music and its frustrating me. I need to just be my self and experiment more. I also need some kinda portable audio recording device so i can make my own samples and recordings of sounds

That’s enough for this post. If you got this far, you are probably my Mum :) (Hi mum!)
