Last Wednesday, as I was getting ready for work, I started having a problem breathing and started to come close to passing out. After happening the second time, I realized that this was a very serious problem. I called my mom (because you always call your mom when you’re feeling bad) and had her call 911 for me. The EMT’s came to the apartment and after checking me out, rushed me to the Emergency Room.

The verdict:
Pulmonary Embolism. Basically, I got a blood clot in my calf when I took my trip to New York last July. (A lot of sitting without the ability to move my legs.) Some of the clot broke free and travelled into my lungs. I was in the the hospital for 5 days and am on the road to recovery.

Compounding the problem is the fact that I haven’t been taking very good care of myself, especailly my diabetes. So, I am now taking insulin to care for my diabetes.

I now have a General Practitioner that I am seeing and will do what I can to improve my overall health considerably.

I am pleased to announce that Digeum Mix Session 01 Delta, mixed by Jay Def (me) is online.  This is another hour of groovy house tracks. 

I am proud of this mix because, to me, everything fits really well together. 

Listen to it or download it at digeum.org.

This is a remix of a song I wrote a couple of months ago. I wasn’t happy with the original, so I cleaned it up some and just made some changes. Oh, and this one really is pretty much House. Promise.

I’m very happy about the slap bassline I created with this one.

Well, my first mix is officially up on digeum.org. This is a project launched by Apollo and myself. The original intent was to host a podcast, but now we’re using our dj consoles and create some music mixes.

This first mix is about an hour of House.

Here are a couple of tracks that I have written over the last week. Both are kinda tech house (though some may argue that they’re trance of some sort. But I’m calling them house, dammit!)
