On a serious note - I have been battling a disc problem for quite some time myself due to years of headbanging and dragging my gear in and out of vans and clubs. I got in a motorcycle wreck and that pretty much ruined what was left of my lower back. I'm sure you've tried all sorts of medical advice, but one thing that has helped me immensely is getting ESI's (epidural steroid injections). If you have a good pain management doctor that you trust, he/she can use xray to get right to the spots where the disc is pushing on the nerves and make a precise injection. Hope that helps.

I'm in a pretty terrible mood right now, but I have a feeling that saying what I'm about to will make me feel a bit better.
I don't really have any problems to bitch about at this point, but I have had my share, especially of the medical kind. There were many times I was scared that I would never again have the chance to live a normal life, or even be alive at all, even though everyone told me that would never happen. I still thought about it and it wrecked me completely, made me apathetic, I lost hope. Troubling times indeed, I didn't care if I lived or died.
I've had my share of other problems in the past, and lonliness is definitely one of those things. I've been alone pretty much my entire life and now I'm to the point that it actually comforts me because I'm so used to it. Someday though, I'm sure that will change, and I'm just waiting for fate to takeover. Until then, I'm perfectly happy
So, basically what I'm trying to say is that no matter what, it's always darkest before dawn and no matter how bad things could ever get, they'll always get better. I'm fortunate in that I have lots of family and friends that care about me and make the tough times easier to deal with.
Life is a huge roller coaster with many ups and downs. I've learned over the years to not take the ups for granted, ride them out as long as you can and enjoy them to the max without thinking about the downs. When the downs come, just hang on tight and ride it out. It'll get better. For me, it's ALWAYS gotten better. Since I've had this attitude, the ups are greatly outnumbering the downs and I gotta say I'm feeling the best I ever have at this point in my life. Things are great (minus the occasional petty annoyances) and I'm just living it up and soaking in as much of it as I can.
So, just keep on keepin' on, and the next time you see someone you love, tell them. It really helps.

That was very sweet and inspiring. I definately commend you. There's too few people left who live with this healthy attitude toward life and all it's many high and low roads.Shpongled said:I'm in a pretty terrible mood right now, but I have a feeling that saying what I'm about to will make me feel a bit better.

There was a while there where I was pretty down. I let other people's negativity and cynicism creep too deep inside of me. It got pretty scary for a while. I was so unhappy i hated who I'd become. I have quite a few friends that I had to step away from because of it. I had to learn to be happy with myself to be strong enough to not let the negativity get to me.
It always makes me happy to come across people who still keep an optimistic attitude. You seem like a very warm and wonderful person.
I try to see the beauty in all things, in nature, in man, in everything around me. Even in sadness and pitch black there is beauty. Life is too short to not live every day to the fullest.
And it's also fun, when people are being negative to just start yelling really loud and abnoxiously "NEGATIVE NANCY, NEGATIVE NANCY". hehe it's especially effective on men. It usually either gets them to shut up or start laughing and either way you win.

i do have a job actually. i work with kids all year round. i just finished working at a day camp and during the school year im working at a hebrew school. i do give a shit about school because i want to go to college and become a producer and have my own recording studio, plus i want to have a band. i try my best to make the best out of everything i do. thats just another part of lifeMike said:

ehh when i was 14 i didnt have a job. i was lucky enough to be given a piece of shit car to go to work when i was 17 and used that money to buy a better car.
i slept through highschool, ddnt give a shit. I graduated 2nd to last in my class, but im doing really well now jobwise and everything, goes to show how worthless highschool is. All highschool was for me was a huge college scare "you need to be ready for college, college is like this, college is like that, you need to know this for college, you need to be able to do this for college, you need to keep your grades up in order to get in college (im sure this is true for most "good colleges") Let me tell you something... it was all bullshit, most colleges only care about one thing, the almighty fucking dollar. "Your grades sucked in highschool and your probably going to skip most of your classes here and smoke a ton of pot? hmmm... put your parents will be paying us right? ok good, welcome to college"

some of school i find to be bullshit. otherwise i find it very important. i find science as bullshit because there is no way in hell that a musician has relation to science. i find math important because writing music takes good math skills (notes, beats etc). language i find important because IF i get lucky with a band i could be traveling the world and it would be useful to know spanish, german or french. history is gay. it already happened so who gives a shit? maybe if it was a music history class i would like it, but it isnt.
with all do respect, mike, i dont care what you say about high school and college. thats because i dont care what anyone says about HS or college. im taking no one elses opinion because i need to create me own. once high school starts in september ill let you know how it goes.

but none of that shit really matters, plug in a guitar and its gonna work, its not like you need to fine tune the electronics in an instrument to get better sound.
