Note to Self this PRIDE 2006

Born in New York living in Michigan and later calling home Edmond, Oklahoma I was always pegged as the big fish in a little pond. (Thom Collins-search Goggle for the LOONGER version) I blasted my way out of the closest at 15, sadly and unbeknownst to me would contract the then unidentified virus we know today as HIV/AIDS. Though tested HIV positive December 15th 1985 it was confirmed my exposure to be as early as 1983. Meeting my lifetime companion David in August of 1983 we finally had enough of the country life and I asked my partner to join in helping me become STAR and move to LA. I soon realized upon my arrival it was going to be allot harder than I ever expected. Speaking as a then “big fish” back in the sticks of a small pond in Oklahoma I worried just how my “Big Fish” status was going to translate into and become the “Great White” of saltwater West Hollywood GAY LA. For starters my fish is fresh water. So much work needed to be done starting with the cutting of my long bleached blonde perm “Christopher Atkins circa Blue Lagoon” mullet off. Oh yeah I had work to do.
Looking around so many fishes so little time. Such beauty, strong bodies, and youth always fleeting trying desperately and at all costs to keep that special youthful dewy innocent glow be it by pump it, pull it, inject it, buy it, stitch it, or even fuck it keeping the young closer too rather than farther from. I always heard this myth of your life is over at 30 if you are gay and never believed it until I moved to LA in 1989. Just before my 23rd birthday come Halloween 1989 it was clear according to WeHo youth savings time I didn’t have much. Soon it would become not only a dream but a quest to see how long it would take me to reach the top of the gay-pecking, food-eating, train-spotting, dope-snorting, revenge-fucking, fake-hating, love-loosing, over-dosing, party-clubbing, circuit-traveling, ass-kissing, dick-sizing, drama-dealing, scene-stealing, fun-loving, pill-popping, drunk-guzzling, lying-cheating, work-outing, ego-breathing, bare-backing, funeral-gathering, who’s-doing, gay-bashing, credit-carding, money-spending, and finally the A-LISTing pecking-ordering of things.
Taking all of that into account I decided to resurrect an alter ego of

oh poor britney!

oh poor britney!: "ok one last thing - make sure to catch the britney spears interview on dateline with matt lauer on thursday night - poor thing is a wreck complete with tears and all! i do feel bad for her...hopefully this interview will help set the record straight although no matter what she says - she still so needs to just dump kfed...popbytes totally over & out until tomorrow...xxoo! You have babies at home. And...you have a life. And if you don't, you have to realize that we're people and that we...just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being."

Jesus May Have Not Been So Amazing After All

Jesus May Have Not Been So Amazing After All: "There's just a slight difference between walking on ice, and walking on water.

The New Testament says that Jesus walked on water, but a Florida university professor believes there could be a less miraculous explanation -- he walked on a floating piece of ice. Professor Doron Nof also theorised in the early 1990s that Moses's parting of the Red Sea had solid science behind it.

Nof, a professor of oceanography at Florida State University, said on Tuesday that his study found an unusual combination of water and atmospheric conditions in what is now northern
Israel could have led to ice formation on the Sea of Galilee.

Nof used records of the Mediterranean Sea's surface temperatures and statistical models to examine the dynamics of the Sea of Galilee, which Israelis know now as Lake Kinneret. The study found that a period of cooler temperatures in the area between 1,500 and 2,600 years ago could have included the decades in which Jesus lived.

A drop in temperature below freezing could have caused ice thick enough to support a human to form on the surface of the freshwater lake near the western shore, Nof said. It might have been nearly impossible for distant observers to see a piece of floating ice surrounded by water.

Nof said he offered his study -- published in the April edition of the Journal of Paleoli"

Friendster: Thom Collins



All I can say in my defense over the years is living with HIV and Fighting AIDS (O.I's) on a daily basis growing older with T cells few and far between is my heart was in the right place to keep all of my Internet connections starting with the infamous for it's time www.thomcollins.com and my ever popular AOL days back when it was not mainstream in 1994 as thompoz@aol.com. Strange typing that handle it has been a long time. Friends I had made through my HIV/AIDS meetings on sundays in the AOL forums back in the mid 90's. Some of them found me upon leaving the world wide web scene after taking a toll on my sanity. Soon thereafter my HIV virus I had lived with for close to 15 years from intial contact in 1983 decided it was time to "rock my world" and boy has it. Both David and I are struggling through some very difficult times along with some very memorable life lessons learned if not gone through what I did at a certain point in my disease. Have you ever felt like everyone is against you or what else can happen. Sooner or later you are on your knees to your God/Higher power begging for help for you are a broken spirit and need help back into the light. For those Contacts, Friends, and Charity work made through the years I can only be grateful and make no promises as to response. I do try and I get really angry when carpel tunnell wont allow it or feeling nauseated from the anti virals.
Anyway, we will be in touch.

YouthAIDS: AIDS Education and Prevention for Youth Around the World

YouthAIDS: AIDS Education and Prevention for Youth Around the World

Watching the Today show early this morning I was reminded of a disease I fight everyday and at the same time felt a warm fuzzy feeling upon seeing someone like Ashley Judd on the front lines fighting this cause. It reminded me of a time in my life fighting the prevention and educational side of AIDS until my own health became an issue. The 2006 statistics are staggering here they are below.

20million died from HIV aids related causes

40 million HIV positive peeps in the world

6000 15- 24 young people infected daily

Global emergency

23 million in Africa alone with India and China next. Ashley then replied how she chooses to work with a Conciseness of abundance instead of fear. Her work and more information is provided with the website I blogged above.
