I was attacked by a dog today, I described the events in an email so I copied it in below. Nothing to do with this blog but I didn't want it to become a blog of apologies for not updating. Sometimes nice to put clips of you life about the web...
...Oh Yeah!! This was crazy - on the walk there I took a short cut through the woods and as I wondered along seemingly no-one was about for miles; then a dog that even when stood on all fours is above my waist came running at me from around the corner and as it was about to jump up on me, I instinctively blocked and step to the side knocking it to the floor in which it slid on its belly along the gravel path - it was a total reflex from when I used to do Tae Kwon Do. First I was: just 'Woah, wtf' - then the owner came running up and leashed it up and I was thinking to myself, that was a nice move - Jackie Chan himself would of been proud of it (I'd like to think). I am not a fan of dogs, never have been because they seem stupid and a attention seeking and I've seen a lot of owners who are the same (not to say all are). Incidents like that just strengthen my bad opinion. But I was really loving block that I did - text book move...

what i did over my summer vacation
aug 5 2009
hey all,
hope you are doing well.
so i'm about a week and a half out of surgery now and rapidly recovering from it. i haven't taken any of the pain meds, which supposedly speeds along the healing process, or should i say, taking them slows it down. anyway, i spent 1 night at the hospital after the surgery. the hospital was too crazy to get any rest so i headed home to relax, have home cooked food and hang out with the family.
i'm pretty well detoxed from the anesthesia that they pumped me up with to keep me under for all that time. that took several days to get out of my system. my neck and jaw are still pretty stiff from the surgery, but it gets better everyday. had the stitches out this past monday... so things are moving along.
but no sooner am i on the mend from this first torture than are they lining up the next one. the next line of treatment will be radiation. that involves blasting you with some kind of beam for a few minutes a day, 5 days a week, for about 7 weeks. that will start in a few weeks...
saw the jay-z cover of no sleep, and the coldplay one of fight for your right from APW on youtube. good shit. and i heard karen o wore a "get well MCA" armband, and that q-tip gave a shout out too..... very kind of them.
just wanted to thank them and everyone else who sent positive thoughts my way. i do think that all of the well wishes have contributed to the fact that my treatment and recovery are going well.
much love back at all of you!
