Was just looking at my site to see if it was even still here! lol My hosting service has changed ownership (again!), and I haven't even checked out their site yet, to see if there have been any major changes. Fortunately, my site is still up...<br /> <br /> Not really much for new news. I don't recall mentioning about going to see Dream Theater, back in March. My tickets were rad! Front row seats, stage right! I was just a little off center from Petrucci the entire time! It was an awesome show, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy it...<br /> <br /> I had met my nephew there, and we hadn't seen each other in years! He gets so excited to see me, and he gave me this bear hug, not realizing how bad my back was. It wasn't his fault, whatsoever. I'm a hugger as well! He's just a big boy, and doesn't know his strength! Plus, we used to wrestle like crazy kids when he was a teen, and I was much younger and healthier! lol Anyway, his squeezing realigned my spine (literally!), and I was in literal agony the entire night. The metal chairs didn't help, and they would have caused me much pain without being injured!<br /> <br /> Ya gotsta love the kid, though! He turned out to be such a good father, hard worker, smart, and just a good person all around!<br /> <br /> I had purchased the VIP upgrade for the show, which I had hoped would give me access to the meet and greet. Unfortunately, the platinum package, that included the M&G, was sold out. I tried to sneak in anyway! I brought my new Ibanez Prestige 7-String for them to sing! Got to the door, and was turned away! BAH!!! A lot of old fuckers like me in line, though, and a dude I had been talking to in line told me he would take it in for me and have it signed! I was a bit leery, however. The guitar cost $3,500.00!!! I didn't want to just hand it to a stranger, ffs! But, my trust issues (meaning I trust far too much) kicked in and I handed it over to him. Terribly nice dude! He gave me his phone number, and said he would keep me posted on when they're coming out. Long story long, he got my guitar signed by the band!!! (I'll attempt to add the picture below...I need to add a pic upload feature!)<br /> <br /> <center><em> <img src="uploads/thumbs/IbeyPrestige-sm.jpg" height="400" width="211" border="0"><br /> View: <a href="uploads/IbeyPrestige.jpg" target="_blank">medium</a> - <a href="uploads/IbeyPrestige.png" target="_blank">large</a> </em></center> <br /> Besides all of that, I have really gotten into my Geology roots and prospecting! My father was a Geologist, which pretty much made me a Geologist! He had me collecting rocks since I was 5, and I never stopped! So, I started making it official, and taking a college Geology 101 course! I live in an old mining town that was established in the 1870's, and there are gold and silver mines everywhere around me! Literally hundreds in a 20 mile radius! My neighbor works in the mines to this day, and he's into it as well! We started heading up to the old gold mines nearby, and it has been a blast! Even with the roads being shit and knocking us around so much that I'm wrecked by the time we arrive...lol Still, it's a lot of fun, and it gets me outdoors! Someplace I need to be a LOT more!<br /> <br /> That's it for now! Just wanted to make an appearance for those who actually read these things (both of you! haha).<br /> <br /> Until next time...

Doing some site maintenance as I was having some issues with the script.<br /><br />For some reason, session values weren't being passed between pages like they're supposed to. I went over, and over the script, trying to find out what the hell could be happening, but I wasn't able to find a thing!<br /><br />So, I contacted my hosting service to see if they had changed my version of PHP. They hadn't.<br /> <br />I started searching the forums to see if there was some sort of new issue with the version of PHP I use. Didn't find any...I did find about 8 different ways to start the sessions though! Tried them all and nothing worked.<br /><br />I was about ready to give up on it, when all of the sudden, it began to work! And I have no clue what dafug happened! The only thing I can come closet guessing, is that the tech I spoke with, at my hosting service, sent the issue up to the higher level techs, or he left the right notes (for a change), and the higher techs read them and fixed it.<br /><br />Whatever. It works now! ;)<br /><br /> Other than that, no real updates from the last one. My doc is putting me on a med that should help me to lose weight!!! It's a med that reduces the amount of glucose intake and production; meant for people with pre-diabetes and/or diabetes. Last time we did a blood test, I was pre-diabetic. So, this should be a good thing!<br /><br />I have been trying to get back on testosterone treatment, so that I have enough energy to get off of my zero-energy, lazy, good for nothing ass! But some of my levels are too high, and I would basically be committing suicide. I am already at a very high risk of having a heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, or aneurysm. My extremely low T-levels are the only thing keeping me alive! Not that I care either way, but that's a story for another place and time.<br /><br />I'm going to see <a href="https://dreamtheater.net" target="_blank">Dream Theater</a> on Thursday!!! Yay fucking ME!!! I bought two tickets, and have been having a hell of a time finding someone to go with me! I refuse to take anyone who doesn't know who DT is, and who doesn't love the band! I really don't have friends these days, since I don't ever leave my home, so the picking have been slim! BUT! I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but my Nephew has been trying to get me to spend time with him for YEARS! And he knows DT! My damn nephew had BETTER know who DT is!! So, I'm taking him with me, and it should be a blast and a half!! I can't wait!!! I'll definitely share the experience on here after the show!!!<br /><br />That's about it for today...this month. Check back this coming Friday and read about the show! I might even post some killer vid of Petrooch, since my seats are front row and directly in front of where he stands!!!!! It's gonna be awesome!!!
