The last week was a snap shot of my life at it's most active- I went to Florida for a speaking engagement (my wife partner and I discuss how we keep her HIV status as negative in our relationship, if you're a newbie) and I was busy working on new music with my...

Happy Valentine’s Day
Self love. Valentine's Day shouldn't be a series of dividing lines between those who are in a relationship, or those who want to be or those who couldn't give two shits either way. Aside from floating Hallmark, Valentine's Day should be a moment to embrace self...
A Week of Being A Weakling
After posting the last blog, I soon realized that it was going to take a bit longer to get well than I originally thought. That's why I had to postpone a speaking engagement that would have had me flying across the country today... just had no energy from about the...

Video Tip of the Day: Check Your Meds
When Gwenn and I went to pick up my HIV medications, I made a video update in the car that was intended to be a joke of sorts about how long it can take to pick up meds. Then when we got home, and I made another video about what we discovered about my medication that...
