Well this was going to be a whimsical post. Full of crap about my new Operating System and cheating on the diet this weekend. Sometimes things change...
I was chatting with my friend Mikie from LA. He used to live in Fort Collins, moved back home to Omaha, then got a dream job for an A-list rock band in LA. While he was back in Omaha he reconnected with his soulmate, Jamie; everything was going so wonderfully with them. As I said I was chatting with him, like we usually do late at night, and he didn't seem his normal chipper self...
Well then he dropped the bomb...Jamie is poz! :( Ok, so we start discussing this, then there is the next bomb...how they found out. Jamie was having "knock you on your ass" headaches, so they went to the Doc and of course they run tons of tests. So the HIV was just a "nice" surprise. Turns out he also has a brain tumor!! Ok, this kid is like 22 fucking years old!! I feel so terrible for them. I'm not one to say stuff like "how can god do stuff like this?" But sometimes it just fits. I know everything is supposed to happen for a reason...but DAMN!!
So yeah, this really was something that puts the little things into perspective.

That really sucks about your friend. If they need to talk to someone about it, let me know. I can help out however I can since I have been with a few who were poz, and had a lover die from it too. Now go back to cheating on that diet bud. ;)
