The Thinker Must Always Think

My father made sure I was a thinker. In my formative years, he himself was a thinker who constantly shared with my brother and me his thoughts and the thoughts of the world's greatest thinkers. All in the mind, my father would say about anything from a hunger for a chocolate candy bar to people's reaction to being tickled.

"We're conditioned as babies to react the way we react," he explained with a serious face, nonplussed by my tickle test. All in the mind. Didn't surprise me one bit that phrase ended up being a central theme of Walt Loves the Bearcat.

Maya Angelou once said on Oprah: "The thinker must always think." She's right.

I'm glad my father made sure I was a thinker. It's the second greatest gift he's ever given me.

Buddy Material

When he's everything you ever dreamed of and more.

When he makes you laugh, think and feel like no other man.

When thoughts of him set your soul on fire.

When he's smart and sexy beyond your wildest dreams.

Are you buddy material?

Living with AIDS? Try Loving with AIDS

You don't have to die of AIDS. You don't have to live in fear of AIDS. You can love someone with AIDS and not acquire the virus. You can even learn to love living with AIDS should you yourself become infected.

The fear you have over AIDS is all in your head. The universe is a wondrous and beautiful place with or without HIV. This realization is the only "cure" for AIDS. This much is true.
