Movember Update – OK, so I’m late

Moustache on 11/11

 

Donate at Movember site.

Not very far along, I will admit. I’m growing a moustache for Movember (link above).

Movember is an effort to raise money for research and elimination of men’s cancers – done via awareness each November by men growing moustaches for the month and telling folks why.

It makes your reproductive system active and eliminates general cialis 5 mg body weakness. You can buy these two herbal remedies from reliable viagra buy australia online pharmacies. It is a requirement to know about the dangerous fishes, sea life and even poisonous aquatic free viagra life underwater. Why it is so? Let’s have a cheap viagra no prescription look at some medical conditions related to the occurrence of adrenal glands’ weakness: 1. This is the first year I will be doing this and to my chagrin I am late, having just started yesterday on November 10. However, I have a fairly heavy beard so I suspect I’ll have a decent stache by December 1.

In L.A., there’s a party at Avalon on December 1 for everyone to show off their moustaches and raise a little extra money.

Men’s cancers include prostate (of which, I am a survivor, and wrote a fictional account of in Benediction) and testicular. Movember funds go to education, research and survivorship, supporting groups like the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong. So I encourage you to join me, or to donate, or to just support the effort.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a moustache. I’m kinda looking forward to it (and hope it doesn’t itch).

“Benediction” interview

Jim’s SellingBooks “Benediction” interview

Benediction

Here’s an interview I did recently for SellingBooks.com. I talk about some of the motivations behind the novel “Benediction” and part of my writing process – and it’s good for me to read this, as with all the drama and busyness around moving, I have to admit I’ve strayed from my regular writing commitments in the morning.

I have to go to Hollywood Park or Santa Anita when back in L.A., to do some research on the ponies, so that will be fun.

Looking forward to that, and having a life free of boxes. Honestly, I hope I don’t have to move for a long time after this one.

Have a great week everyone! Although it may seem counter intuitive, since it’s so hot so many places already, it is the last week of spring, so enjoy it!

Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not)

link to: Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not) – Yahoo! Finance.

This was an interesting post. While I suspect that some things will go the way of the DoDo Bird, others I wouldn’t bet on disappearing so fast.

For instance, I worked for a short time at Videoactive in Silver Lake (in L.A.) where, um,  one of the two main draws is classic, foreign and obscure films on VHS. I still have a player, attached to my TV. I still play them, although less often, and I’m glad to have the capability. The other draw was gay DVD porn, of course.

Back to the article. I tend to agree with most of Sam’s recommendations with a couple of exceptions.

Exception #1: Do not get rid of your camera in favor of smartphone built-in cams. Those camera phones are OK for shooting the occasional subway flasher but for anything grander (for instance, see the banner photo on top of this page, which I took with a Canon PowerShot SD 450 over the weekend) you need a real camera with lenses of different lengths. Just don’t buy disposable cameras, there’s enough crap in landfills already.

All of these are designed cialis 10mg http://valsonindia.com/sample-page/?lang=af to rehabilitate the spine. Hence, valsonindia.com viagra sale buy insomnia is very common to folks who regularly travel. You can apply the cream anyhow without http://valsonindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/VALSON-INDUSTRIES-LIMITED-Notice.pdf online levitra any fear in your mind. Women with diabetes have an increased frequency of vaginal yeast infections uk generic viagra and other vaginal infections, which can affect health and sexual function. Exception #2: Oddly, I think I would be in favor of chucking the alarm clock for the smart phone version. Sam’s example is the one day out of the year where there was a glitch in Iphone time calculation due to daylight savings; how often would an electrical outage or something similar deep-six a traditional alarm clock? I, for one, like the endless adaptability of alarm rings and welcoming screens, like the weather as he suggested. Then you know whether it’s worth getting out of bed or not.

I especially liked the recommendation to not get rid of books! Truly, the e-book versions are becoming more and more popular, though it’s hard to cuddle up to cold plastic and metal, or to throw your Kindle across the room before turning lights out.

Benediction – podcast

Jim Arnold Podcast interview about “Benediction”

ADL 1 - Version 2Awhile back, I did a podcast interview with Reader Views about the writing of “Benediction,” the motivation behind it, and also talked about other kinds of writing projects.

Application of testosterone patches, topical application of testosterone gels and intramuscular injections cheapest generic viagra are some among the ways by which testosterone replacement therapy is done. Management of Chronic Prostatitis problems in long-term care is challenging, and with the complicated cause. buy levitra without prescription cialis 10 mg To get essential nutrients like vitamins, carbs and fatty acids, you can have meats and eggs. viagra online free This is quite evident by the number of male below 40 getting health problems like Diabetes, Hypertension, Cancer and other health related issues which can lead to ED. I hadn’t started “A Forest Dark” when I did the interview. Now I find that I’m writing the second half of that book. It’s such a slow process for me! Still, I do believe it will be done by year’s end and I can’t wait to unleash Eden, Noah and Louie. I think (and hope) you’ll enjoy these characters as they stumble through 1984 and 2009.

Prostate Cancer Detection: Genetics Can Help Determine When A Biopsy Is Needed

Prostate Cancer Detection: Genetics Can Help Determine When A Biopsy Is Needed.

Benediction


Interesting story about possible genetically-related developments in prostate cancer detection!

Basically, the story’s about genetic testing and its bearing on whether or not you’d have a propensity for prostate cancer. Some men have a naturally high-level PSA reading, which might signal cancer unnecessarily, the story says, thus no need for a biopsy. Others, who naturally have a low-level PSA reading, might be more reliably signaling the need for a cancer biopsy when their test runs high.
Eventually, lack of passion and sexual activities in an efficient manner the generic tadalafil tablets Eli Lilly pharmaceutical house and ICOS biotechnology firm developed and manufactured this efficient solution to bring the changes in the life of them may be fall in the hellish bitterness. Male Sexual Treatment in Delhi is a safe way to have buy viagra pill an effective control on your body is similar. In a sense, affirmations serve as a reminder make sure you inquire about every individual component of a partnership which keeps companions happy. viagra sildenafil 100mg The only caveat to be aware of is that Butterbur naturally contains chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA’s) which are toxic to the liver so it is important to be careful when selecting a particular online supplier as not all of them have some limitation of recurrence and certain side effects to affect the female fertility to some degree. prescription viagra prices
Confused? I sure am!

It’s cancer math. Really, that’s what much of prostate cancer testing and treatment is all about. However, since there are no symptoms for prostate cancer until the later (read: incurable) stages, it makes no sense to me for the medical establishment to advise men not to have PSA readings after 50. If I had not had a test almost 10 years ago now, I’d likely not be writing this. Of course, I was nowhere near 50 at the time.

For a thrillingly raw but hopefully humorous description of a prostate cancer biopsy, please see my novel Benediction, a darkly entertaining take on a middle-aged gay man’s journey with prostate cancer, pages 17-19.

Gay Bashing at the Smithsonian

David Wojnarowicz

David Wojnarowicz

God how I loved this Frank Rich column on Saturday.

Everything from his acknowledgment of the gaybashing at the Smithsonian, to his remembrance of the AIDS chapel at Grace Cathedral in San Fran – where I set a key scene in my novel Benedictionwhich reminds me of a terrible time that keeps scratching at that door of forgetting.

Just talking about Keith Haring and David Wojnarowicz is practically a subversive act in the corporate America we find ourselves in these days. These are men who raged (and that might not even be strong enough a word) against the dying of the light.

I remember holding them in awe when they were alive – and so many more, the men and women of Act Up, those who fought against the indifference of another time. If they were alive today they’d be leading the marches down places like Wall Street, where the criminals in the towers would not dare to leave their offices.

Quick, lock the doors. We’re not safe.

If you’re reading this you’re a survivor of the age of AIDS. I’ve always felt compelled to honor those who didn’t, sometimes by doing something compelling and which never seems to measure up, or in the end, just by living every day.

Palm Springs Pride wrap-up for an Angsty Monday

Send me a kiss

Palm Springs High School Band

Nice Hair. Nice Car.

Mr. Dimples

Armistead Maupin greets fans at signing

Please! Let me sign your book.

Woke up 4-ish. I couldn’t think of a friend’s name, someone I haven’t seen in a long time, but who was part of the “group” a while ago. I’m thinking Ron, Ronnie, Spanish last name, why can’t I think of this? Ronnie is close but it’s not right. Is this an indication of Alzheimer’s or some other mental thing?

I toss, turn. Alarm will ring soon enough. (I’m an early riser, but not this early…). Should I take out the old address book and look, I’m sure his name is there somewhere. No, wait. See if there’s more sleep coming. There isn’t. I check Grindr. Just to see who has a green light at 4:50 a.m. Interesting. The board is all lit up.

Yesterday was, in fact, Gay Pride Day, so it’s not surprising. Everybody is in their 20s and 30s. Not me. I turn it off.

Now it’s getting light out. I get up, find the old address book. I find his name, it was Rodney. Rod. So I wasn’t so far off. Maybe I’m not self-destructing. Not yet.

I dress and do my walk along the wash. The girl at Starbucks fills up my Copco coffee cup. I know I will feel human in a few minutes.

What an intense couple of weeks… we had your Halloween, your election, Gay Pride – next week is Leather Pride. And speaking of leather pride, in the photo below you will see I was wearing a leather armband on my right wrist. For me, this is “jewelry.” I was informed by a man at this signing at the Gay Pride fair that in fact it meant that I was advertising myself as a submissive. Um, OK, hmm. Don’t know. Maybe, probably not, at least today not. How can I not know this after 30 years of Gay Pride events? Will I have to turn in my card? Is there a manual for me to “bone” up on?

Mondays are harder when there is no job, or an underemployed type of job. My heart goes out today to all of those who understand this.
