I'm Back, I'm here to Stay, Dammit!

OK! So I attempted to create a blog about 10 years ago, but never really had the time to dedicate to it. But now here I am again 10 years older & 10 years wiser. And as Yvonne DeCarlo (Lily Munster) sang in the ORIGINAL version, "I'm Still Here!" I know she sang the song in the original B-Way production but my mind is blank on the name of the show. I think it was Company? Can a theatre queen refresh my memory?

You see as of right now, I should be posting thoughts every day as I am currently unemployed. However, while I'm leisurely collecting the unemployment checks and looking for a job I can be passion it about, I am also using this blog to devote to my true loves & talents; Writing and of course shooting my mouth off.

Also I hope someone or someones will read my blog and find the inspiration and will to go on an concur life's little obstacles.

I should give you a little background on me so you know the obstacles I have endured yet managed to move on with the continuing energy and wit I known for amongst my friends & family.

I am a single HIV+ gay man who in about 6 months will be hitting my 35th birthday. Whoever is reading this remember though tell people I'm 29. Oh wait, my blog will hopefully be read by a lot of gay males and I'm already asking them to keep a secret. Because we all know the 3 fastest ways to get a secret out is, "Tel-A-Phone, Tel-A-gram or Tell-A-Queen."

But enough about age and status. Although they are minor setbacks and obstacles, I just recently had a major one.

For the past 10 years, give or take, I've been having minor seizures. Some times I would have a few in a month. in a week or even several during to course of a day. These seizures would start out with my mind wandering off and then I would begin to sweat and then the right side of my body would lose all motor control. These seizures for the most part would only last 30 seconds or so & I brushed them off as pnic attacks. However a little over a month ago, The sensations began to escalate and the last one I had was when I was driving my car causing a major accident. I blacked out and ended up in Mass. General Hospital for a week.

So now I am on seizure medication and by law my licence was revoked. However the law also states if I stay on the meds and not have a seizure in a 6 month time frame, I will automatically get my licence renewed. And so far so good the meds are working and no seizures.

So now after wasting my 20's on coasting through this thing we call life, I am now in my mid 30's and at the crossroads. It's time to step up to the plate and do what I want to do with this life I've been handed. And I chose to open my world up to whoever wants to read and learn from my experiences and thoughts. "Will this lead to helping others?" or "Will this lead to me getting a career started that involved some sort of writing?" Who the hell knows, but what it will do right now is get my thoughts out of my head and documented and allow me to move forward with my life.

So here we begin a new and hopefully lasting chapter in the Life of Kevin B.
