Not so black and gay: December 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. It is very important to be aware of what types of people are in your life. It’s you. I mean if I’m surrounded by drug addicts, alcoholics, queens, thieves and lairs, means I’m guilty by association. I changed. They didn’t. We don’t see each other anymore. What I found interesting were the types of people I started to attract in AA. They were on some bullshit themselves. I mean, they weren’t drinking or anything, but they weren’t good people. Am I a good person? I wouldn̵...

Not so black and gay: April 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Change isn’t easy. I figured I make up my own guide to success and follow it. I didn’t want to hear or read about those who already made and living in their big mansions or whatever. I was still in the struggle. I didn’t want to become a better person, I just wanted to not have to live from check to check. I suddenly had an American dream. Why do we change? Sunday, April 20, 2008. My two cents on blogging. Can you really know a person from their blog? I am not my blog. My b...

Not so black and gay: February 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 08, 2008. If you got your health…. Old folks growing up would always say, if you got your health, you got everything. I never really understood what that meant because I was always a healthy child. I just thought life was a big playground as if the sun shines everyday. It’s hard because living a good life isn’t so easy. I mean I watch Oprah and I read a lot of self-help books, but I still feel trapped by my job, my past, my own issues and addictions. So for those of you who are well, bre...

Not so black and gay: June 2009
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. One day at a time. I am beginning to understand the meaning. At first, I was such a bastard. I couldn’t see beyond Friday night. At first I felt it was not a sufficient or substantial argument. I had to question the motive. But you can’t change what you do not acknowledge. I cannot correct that will not be corrected. Will it come back? Will this be a good day? Will it be a time when I don’t think about this? As the adult says to the child, will this be the end of my life?

Not so black and gay: May 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2008. This past weekend was black gay pride and I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Who cares.” I really wasn’t in the mood to mingle this year. I wasn’t promoting a book. I didn’t want to see old faces that probably tell me I gained weight or I’ve gotten older. The entire thing actually felt depressing to me. I wanted to stay as far away as possible. I need to start learning to look at my life different. Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Monday, May 19, 2008. The liquor store finally opened. I fe...

Not so black and gay: September 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. The worse I did, i did to myself: A year later in recovery. I thought I wanted to die. I didn’t die. I got sober and it wasn’t the end of the world. I started consistently taking my meds, and I didn’t lose myself. I thought being on antipsychotics and antidepressants would make me a zombie. I thought it would take away my creativity and edge. It didn’t. I didn’t think I could turn it around. I got an apartment. I got a job. I grew up. I’d just miss it or want it more. And t...

Not so black and gay: August 2008
http://alifenotsoblackandgay.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. I wonder how I would act. I got so damn nervous. I defiantly didn’t feel sexy. I wasn’t for sure if I was even horny. I wanted sex so I could stop saying I was celibate. He got to the door. He wasn’t bad looking. I decided I wasn’t taking off my tank top cuz I didn’t feel like showing my Krespy Kreme stomach. Mama, wherever you at, it's been 25 years. I know, you know. I'm still standing here. I'm getting better. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. John Edwards, you are the father! I thi...
