Busy bee

My friend and I have been working on a website for a local marina. He pretty much did all of it, haha. He was bored, he just graduated college, and had time on his hands so he started throwing features in for the hell of it. I learned some Cake (PHP Framework) so that was good.

Aside from that, I dislocated my shoulder again on Sunday during my uncle's Memorial Day barbecue. I was playing football with my little cousin. I threw the ball, he came at me and I went to bring him down. That's about all I remember before I hit the floor. He says he stiff-armed me and hit my arm. All I know is my arms were out, I felt an impact, and heard a crunch.

As odd as this may sound, it's not so bad. It hurts like a bitch when it's out but when you either have drugs or it's back in, it's pretty much over and you move on with your life. The only difference is you've experienced something very few people have. You're one experience richer. Sure, it's not exactly a pleasant experience but it's still different.

I've also been working on my personal website, which is long overdue. The code was easy, the content has been the hardest part so far. It's always been hard for me to say anything about myself or my work because I don't like to toot my own horn, I usually let my code do the talking. I'll be putting it up in the next few days.

A quick shout out to Mirrorboy for being far stronger than me even though he's only 17. He could teach us all a thing or two.

Lefty for a while

I came up to my friend's lake house for the weekend. It's always fun. We went shooting yesterday and then went out on the jet skis. We set off some fireworks to top off the night.

Lo and behold, we're playing with poppers and my friend and I begin to roughhouse. I went full sprint at him to pop some poppers on his back. When I slapped his back full force, he stopped. I'm traveling forward, as is my arm but now he's stationary. I felt it drop as soon as I hit. When I tried to lift it past my elbow, I couldn't. It, then started to hurt like hell. Everybody stood around as I dropped slowly to the floor clutching my shoulder. It was time to go to the hospital.

The ride there hurt here and there but was bearable. The more time passed, the more any position hurt to hold my arm in. We waited about an hour and a half to two hours. At this point my arm was in excrutiating pain. I got an x-ray done and then they gave me a shot, a conscious sedative. The doctor then came in and popped my shoulder back into place. It hurt a lot but only for a second. The pain was over. They immobilized my arm with a thing that resembles a sling. We got back home at 4am or so. I woke up just now and my right hand is swollen, maybe my whole arm.

All-in all it was an interesting weekend. Oh, and my friend's sister is jerking off her boyfriend in the bed across the room. Fun
