well the capt has been found. i am doing alright. sorry i have not been on here for a very long time. i am currently staying at my sisters house and watching my niece. she is about to turn 18 in 2 weeks. so she don't need much watching. lol. her friends on the other hand....lol....

my counts as of late. well here they are on july 2 i gave blood, i think or that was the last time on the counts i saw. my tcells are 201, 1 above being AIDS classified. whoopy... my viral load is only at 5435. something like that. i have been off meds since last october, so i think that is a very good thing to have. i was kinda glad to see those numbers. i saw them while at my counselor appt. i also gave my counselor her walking papers. i told her that i can now see life with out her... and i am doing alright. if we are ever doing alright in this life.


i have been selling my ass off. this past week i sold this big ol commercial jobs. it was sweet. big pay day next week....i should get the girl...lol.

no one in my life at this point. i am going to the keys next month for a 4 day weekend. with the same group from new orleans. maybe not the same people, just the same ASO... i am also in the beginning stages of getting a chapter of that group established here in Tampa bay area. we are possitiveconnections.org Tampa bay area. we have social every month that includes doing a social in one of the 7 counties in this area.


well football is about to start. and that always bring this area to it's feet. and the cards are playing down here this september. they play USF on the 24th. yippeee. can not wait to be in that crowd with all RED on...lol. hopefully all predictions will come true for the cards in both football and basketball this year. it is an exciting time to be a cardinal fan. i am sure i would stay drunk most of the year, were i in town. makes missing lousyville that much better.

also bad time to be in the nasa business. as you mite be ab le to tell that i am a big space fan, from the name. i am sadden that the shuttle era is at en end. i was there in the beginning. remember that the launches were as exciting as the apollo launches. but it is, i feel, well past the time that we should have another plan. we need to continue to put man in space. and we will. i hope.. .... i would love to be launched into space. but my stomach would not handle it.

well i have yak enough for now. i hope to be on here again this week. i see the real doctor on tuesday and will have a better handle on what is happening to me. i mite or mite not begin meds again. stay tuned. much love and peace to all. rev. vern.

hello 1 ho. call me if you read this...i still love you and miss you...another heartbreak in lousyville...p/l

well it has been way too long since i have been on here. here is an update from the road. i just got back this past wednesday night from louisville. i took my niece there for her graduating high school. she graduated a year early due to her smartness. we had a good time. it is always good to be in louisville. did not get to see several people. there is just not enough time. i might be going back next month. who knows. i got all my shit out of storage and i continue to go through the huge pile of memories. i might have to put some in storage down here after all. i was trying to avoid doing that down here at least. life is not too bad. i had my moments and still do going through the pics mostly. i got all my big framed art on the wall. was not sure i had the room for it. but it worked out.


as for my health, well i am still not taking any meds. my doc took blood last month and i see her on 25th of this month. they did a genotype test on my virus and it turns out that my virus is still sensitve to all the meds on the market. my doc was a little shocked at this, since i have been doing what i have been since last october.

i feel fine and will have to change my ways soon when i start the meds. i am sure i will begin them again this month.

then i have a friend from POZ moving to gainesville next week. i might go up there for a night or so. i have never been to gainesville. it is the home of the gators, for those who did not know. also the cards play south florida down here this fall. like in 2 months or so. i can not wait for that. i see big dave again next thursday. i will enjoy that, of course.

well peace and love to all. rev. vernon.
