On the Way to Seattle

I am writing the message offline, while on the airplane to Seattle, WA.

I haven’t updated in a while with anything of substance, and have some time now. As most of you know, I was in a pretty bad car accident back in April, and have been in not the best condition since then. I Had x-rays taken last week, and they noticed that I did have problems. My discs are compressed in my neck and in my lower back (L4). Also the back spams have straightened out the natural curve in my spine.

Thursday I had my MRI done, and the results were sent to my doctor who will review them and let me know if I also have herniated discs.

There also have been some amazing concerts. Last Friday was First Friday and I took a whole slew of pictures, some blurry, but some actually pretty good. The Monday after was another pretty good show, I took some pictures, but they were actually most bad just because of the lighting was too low for me to capture what I wanted and I really dislike using a flash. I will be uploading those sometime soon I think, along with the pictures from Thursday. I am going to start uploading all of the photos I take to azeventlist because I created a script to actually make all of the galleries look the same, and I am going to start linking it to the show. I also planned a little farther for azeventlist. I am going to have it when you click on the event you will go to another page that has message board type of thing, but only one thread in, so more like a shoutbox. I am going to also have the galleries for that event show up along with who is going to the event (I might hold off on facebook integration, at least for the time being). I am going to create a user registration though so credit can be given to who uploads what picture, and the username for the shoutbox styled forum. I am going to clean this site as uncluttered as humanly possible, which should be easy because I am building this all from scratch.

I am listening to Defiance, Ohio and just really wish I could get my hands on more of their stuff. I only have the album A Great Depression. I really want to see them again, and actually not because of the girl that plays the violin. They are going to be playing in Florida for the fest, which is really tempting to go to, but I don’t know if I will have the funds for that.

So much has been going on, mostly good I think. All in all I am happy with Phoenix/Tempe I just miss the people that have left to Chicago, Michigan, and Oregon. Yes I know Chicago is not a state. In October I will see the person that left to Michigan, in November the person from Oregon, and in December the people in Chicago. People keep leaving, and I wonder if it is something all of us will do eventually. I know I would love to live in Minnesota as soon as possible, but I would miss everyone too much. Anyhow, I am going to put my laptop away and snack on a mounds bar while listening to Defiance, Ohio.

I really will update this more and more, and upload pictures to the azeventlist more and more. I just need a faster host for a lot of this, so I might switch over the hosting for mattindustries over to godaddy as well. Right now azeventlist is up there, minus a couple features that I need to find workarounds for (I think it has something to do with the way it handles returns.
