Another weekend out on the boat…at least this weekend it wasnt’ out on the boat on Sunday. Those weekends make for some pretty long Mondays.

Friday night was Imagine Dragons concert at the Suncoast Ampitheater which was an amazing show. Saturday day out on the boat with Brant and crew. Saturday night was dinner with Bridget’s mom in Boca. Sunday was a morning Jeep ride to Delray with Bishop and Bridget and Sunday afternoon was sipping Dark and Stormy’s on the couch watching it rain and waiting for Game of Thrones to come on TV at 9.

Overall, not a bad weekend at all.

So I decided to go to the doctor’s office yesterday and get an x-ray just to see what’s going on with my wrist and the screw that was put in over 10 years ago.

Turns out it’s still broken and the little screw is the only thing holding it together. Great. It looks like I’ll have to schedule another surgery to redo the screw, new bone graft and a “bone stimulator?”. This should be interesting.

I think I’ll wait till November right before Thanksgiving to get it done so I’ll just take November, December and January off to recoup. Those months seem to be pretty lazy anyway and since I’ll have to have a cast on for a month and lay low for an additional 2-3 months (at least on the working out and crossfit thing) it’ll probably work out.

It all started with some pain a few weeks ago, right around the same time I started back to crossfit, when it really started hurting. It really just feels like I stubbed my wrist, not like it’s broken. I guess it’s been like that for a long time. It just simply didn’t heal properly the first time.

At least this time around the doctor seems optimistic that I’ll get back full mobility which is something I currently don’t have. Only time will tell.

I’ll just hit crossfit and get my ass in shape before then so I won’t feel so bad about taking time off.

I finally got a chance to head up to Jupiter and visit my buddy Dan and hit the beach and catch a few waves.

The surf wasn’t that great but I did catch a few and it felt really good to get back in the water. It was the first real surf trip in the old Jeep. Worked out great!

So good to see Dan and his family again.

Well, I’m back in CrossFit for at least a month. It’s been a tough couple weeks so far so this should be fun though at the moment my wrist is killing me from last nights WOD.

Tonight’s doesn’t seem to be too bad but I’m in anyway. I want to have visible abs once again like last time I was into crossfit. I felt like I was beginning to get a little pudgy after the holidays and a couple months off earlier this year.

I know, I know it’s been forever since I updated the site. Honestly I’ve had better things to do like take care of my puppy, hunt down a 1981 Jeep CJ7, get it delivered, fix it and get it (and me) on the road once again. That and Facebook has pretty much taken care of keeping my friend and family up to date as to the world of Damien Komala.

Those close to me know last year was pretty much a shit year for me so I do apologize for lack of posts. Here, enjoy a picture of my new toy!

Finally a fairly relaxing weekend hanging out with my pups. I had both puppies this weekend and we spent most of it watching football and The Walking Dead. I got out my big camera one afternoon and just started snapping away.

Perks of the weeekend: Notre Dame won in triple overtime, Ohio State killed Illinois and I got to spend a few hours at the pool to get some color back (was feeling a little pale lately). So overall not a bad weekend.

I’ll upload all of the puppy photos on Facebook over lunch today or something.

So as some of you know, on Friday the 21st of September I started a new job just down the street and things have been super busy lately.

So far the job’s going great, still adjusting to the work schedule though. Definitely not used to working till 6pm but it’s nothing I haven’t done before. Lot’s of work to do and little time. The new company is just two and a half blocks down the street so the commute is about the same as when I was working at THAT Agency downtown (above Leila’s).

The main drawback right now is time with my little Bishop and Winston during the day (and the time to take an after lunch nap with them on the couch).

I’m going to try and get back into the morning blog post a few times a week as time progresses since I’m pretty much on in the morning before I head to the office anyway.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to the folks up in Seattle at Sesame Communications for a great few years of working at home. They definitely saved my ass over the past few years in this job market.

Last Tuesday I overdid CrossFit and seriously hurt my back. Wow, did I. When I woke the following morning I could barely walk it hurt so bad. So I hobbled six blocks to my doctor’s office and made my appointment. That was a hell walk if ever there was one.

Turns out I just had a severe lower back muscle spasm which usually happens when a previous injury just over reacts so my entire lower back wasn’t moving and was completely locked up. My posture was close to someone with severe scoliosis, slightly cocked to one side and not upright at all.

So they prescribed Skelaxin (muscle relaxer) and Indomethacin (anti-inflamitory) for the pain. Needless to say I had to take that Wednesday off of work. I couldn’t focus on anything and was falling asleep at my desk because of the drowsiness.

Today is probably the first day where my back is finally feeling better. Only one side of my back (previously injured a few months ago) still hurts a bit so I’m still taking it pretty easy. Now it’s time to get some work done. At least I’m not in severe pain anymore so Keep Calm and Chive On!

Finally a tropical storm is on the way and according to the Palm Beach Surf Report we should have some decent surf at the end of the week lasting until Tuesday next week. Surf should be maxing out at around 13 ft and the period between swells is looking good to so hopefully, fingers crossed, we get some surf this weekend. I’ll be keeping an eye on this one for sure over the next week or so. Maybe I can even talk my buddy Dan to come down and surf and better yet, maybe get Ramil to come up from Boca to enjoy in the swell.

So get those boards ready boys and girls, we should at least have something rideable very soon!
