What My Meds Are Doing To Me

"Fall in Toronto"


As infrequent as my posts have been of late, I still find it hard to come up with something to write about. I have received a lot of comments about my lack of bubbliness and enthusiasm in my daily life and I suppose that is due to my meds. They do seem to keep me from getting excited about anything, including writing in these pages, which is why there have been a lack of consistant posting here lately. I don't know how to remedy this unless I quit taking my meds which in the long run could be to my detriment. I need to talk with my doctors who seem to find new pills for me to take every time I go. I have 7 I take on a daily basis right now, the combination of which my be the problem or maybe just one or two of them. All I know is that it is increasingly difficult to work up any excitement about anything, personal, political or otherwise. You guys now how wound up I can get on political stuff, but I can't even read the news with out being bored with it, much less comment on it. So I will be working with my doctors to find a more even and less boring combination of meds so that maybe I can get back to being myself and having a little enthusiasm for that which I love most, my writings here. Please bear with me while I work through this phase of my rehabilitation from my summer episode in the hospital. In the mean time cruise through the photos below for some real inspiration for you daily fantasies. Until next time as always, Enjoy!

Matthew Shepard + 400,000 Visitors

"American Eagle In Action"


Well it looks to be a great day for GLBT rights today as the Senate passed the final version of the Matthew Shepard Act on to the desk of the President for signature. Congratulations to Judy and Dennis Shepard who have worked so very tirelessly for this result for more than 10 years now. The President has vowed to sign it and the fundies are having apoplexy over it so it must be a good thing. Federal recognition and funding of hate crimes towards GLBT citizens is long overdue and this will make it possible to prosecute and maybe even prevent hate crimes in the future. Thank you to everyone who worked for this moment in history.

On a personal note, Nichevo has now had over 400,000 visitors in less than 3 years. This is humbling as I think back to the beginning and my modest hopes for this blog. To say the journey has been incredible is and understatement. Thank you all for sticking around so faithfully to see what this one guy down Texas way has to say and look at for your entertainment. With out you guys it would not be worth the effort. I would like to say thank you once again to all of you who wrote to me asking after my health during my recent absence from these pages. I am indeed physically fine and getting better mentally, adjusting my meds is in progress, so we shall see what we shall see on the other side of this latest adjustment.

For eye candy today we have more guys from my Random Gatherings off the Net. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
