I haven't updated in sooooo long...
....because I was sick for the past two weeks with bronchitis. Didn't really have any news to report, so I took a break from blogging.
But I'm back, and here's a topic.....
So not even five minutes ago, I'm on a message board for fraternity and sorority members, which I do from time to time, and there is a thread about "famous" members. Actually, the topic was about whether Spike Lee is an Alpha or not (he's not). Then it went off on a tangent of other famous Alphas.
So this religious-type posted this:
I disagree with this famous alpha but at least he is Honest: http://rashid.oldgoldsoul.com/diary/
And his honesty is why men and women of God need to pray for our brothers and sisters now more than ever. Cover us in your Blood Jesus Christ that death may PASSOVER in Jesus name
First of all...... WHOA, I'M FAMOUS?????? That's news to me!
Secondly.....thanks for the free publicity!
Third.... yes, pray for me. I need prayer for my health, my success as a novelist, for safety when I fly to Atlanta on Friday.... but don't pray for me because you think I'm going to hell or because you feel bad for me because I'm gay AND PROUD.
Finally...... there is a sect of the anti-Greek religious people that have some sort of obsession with me and my work to "destroy all prejudices." I was on a anti-Greek yahoo group (snooping, lol), and right there listed on the site was a link to my yahoo group for LGBT fraternity and sorority members and aspirants.
WTF???? Why are they so worried about what we do? We're not gay because we're Greek..... it's a coincidence. And we've decided to support one another on our journeys.
I swear.....
But anyway, that was a happy thing..... I don't mind people with differing opinions viewing my site. But it's my site....I don't come here to debate. Just to state my truth and leave it there.

i've stopped wondering why folks are considering with other people's business. guess that is just the nature of the world. sometimes things like this can be hurtful and i just want to acknowledge you and let you know that you are appreciated by people like me who view you as an inspiration. good luck at the awards and i'll pray for your safety.
