2012 Begins

Well, 2011 is over, and even with it's very rough start, it turned out to be a pretty good year. Live Limelight was launched and is growing and doing well. I became an uncle to the sweetest little girl! My photography improved greatly. I have grown my social circles and improved current relationships. Not to mention I have continued my path of constantly learning.

Overall, I am pleased with my success on my 2011 list. Not everything got done, but that just leaves room for improvement this year. ;)

Here is my 2012 list of goals:

1. Continue weight gain. Add another 10 lbs to total 110 lbs.

2. Have at least 4 over night trips outside of Charlotte

3. Get stephencoombsstudios.com launched

4. Continue 'out of hospital' streak

5. Grow LiveLimelight.com - get ads sold, double viewers, create and maintain G+ page

6. Improve daily exercise routine

7. Restart and keep up with illdieanotherday.blogspot.com (purchase domain for it?)

8. Increase use of Google+

9. Prepare and print at least 1 coffee table photo book

10. Plan, and follow through on at least non-music photo shoot

11. Do a 365 instagram project with new iPhone.

12. Create a WordPress theme

Signing off for now, I will be back more regularly.

Here's to a very happy and fantastic 2012 for everyone!

Health Status: After 2 1/2 weeks of excitement I'm having a very rough breathing start to today.

Photo Friday

It's Friday! Normally this would be a great thing, with me heading out to take in some live music and do my photo thing. That is not the case this week.

The headache continues. Another day of dark, quiet, and meds. On top of it all today, I an completely drained. So, that made for a day of sleep.

I'm disappointed in myself for not getting out or making a Live Limelight event happen this week. (But hey, there is still this weekend. I'm not going to push it, not for my health's sake. )

My sister did send me a couple recent pics of my niece today! Wow, she's cute and getting big. Soon I'll be going over there with camera and lights to do some family portraits with them. That should be a great time.

Well, considering it is photo Friday, here is a recent photo I've taken of my niece.






Anyways, early night and (hopefully) a great headache-free day tomorrow.

Healthwise: Blah. Headache and drained all day. Good side, breathing is good and my feet, even tho they are swollen, they are not as swollen as the last few days.

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.
