I'm back.

Wow, it's been way too long since I've last updated here. An awful lot has happened since the middle of May last year until today. In a nutshell, my cousin married a wonderful woman. I hurt my side/ribs. I have seen some amazing concerts including my favorite band: Rush. I ended up in hospital and physical rehab for three months. I've recovered a lot since my coming home in March. Still getting there, and almost back to where I was last year. My sister had a baby and she bought a house. I've started a website for live local music review called Live Limelight. Oh, I am doing a lot more photography - mostly live bands in night clubs, and I'm loving it!

Healthwise: Today I'm doing ok, the heat was manageable and the air quality was not terrible. I'm trying to get proper sleep these days, it has been erratic.

It Begins...

A month into the year (2010), I find that I am looking forward to this year more than I have recent years.  Why? I'm not really sure, but let's just say it is a good feeling.


I spent a fair amount of time in January thinking about this year and what I wanted to accomplish, or achieve this year.  


Here is my 2010 Personal Goal List:

1. Gain at least 10% body weight
2. Start and maintain an exercise program
3. Start and maintain a blog
4. Get more serious about my photography
• never leave home without my camera
• post at least one (1) photo a week
• create and promote a website
• complete my 'strobist' setup
5. Learn HTML 5
6. Do at least one (1) tutorial for web development/photography a week
7. Start doing some paid freelancing
8. See live music at least once a month
9. Renew my passport
10. Go on a cruise
11. Put together a recipe book from family recipes/cook books
12. Get a MacBook Pro 13.3" nicely equipped 

Well, looking at that list I'm going to have quite the year.  All signs points to this being one of my best years.


Health-wise:  Saw my doctor today and it was a very good report, and I had gained some weight.
