And you'll stay with me forever. No tears...No sad goodbyes...
Now is a good time to update as any...
When it rains it pours--isn't that the expression? Well it's true, and it's been monsooning around my little corner of the world lately...
Club One is temporarily closed. It's such a long and involved story, but lawyers are working it all out, and there should be hope on the horizon. Keep praying for me...
I hit a pothole this past weekend which was the size of a small continent and it dented my rim on my car.
So this story goes like this:
NJ Turnpike Toll: $1.70
Hitting a huge pothole: Free
Getting a new rim for the car: $500-$600
Not having that money: Priceless
Who knows what will happen now....Grrrrr....
And then the thing that crushed me the most. As of two days ago, someone who I care very deeply for told me that he is HIV+. Now, yes, I realize that these days with all the umpteen medications they have that people are living longer and they don't go through what they used to. Fine. But that doesn't make it any easier.
Now I don't wish it on anyone, but why him? Sometimes I just feel like crying and other times I just wanna punch something... It's so frustrating...
This makes him the second person I know with it. Now I know I'm getting older... Problems are so on a different scale then a few years ago.
The thing that makes it sadder is that I've seen someone die of AIDS before. It is by far and above, one of the scariest things to ever see up close and personal. It's an image that will be forever in my mind and it's that image that keeps my "chastity belt" on for the most part. Of course, we all slip up from time to time, but this now changes everything. The idea of having to go through this once let alone twice in my lifetime is not appealing to me...
And to that man, my 'Bittersweet White Light'--you know who you are--I care about you so much and I will always be there for you... That goes without saying. Whenever you need me, you know where to find me...I'm not that far away..."And I'm almost here and I'm almost touching you..."
Till Then,
John
