According to the AP in my local paper, The AIDS virus has been circulating among people for about 100 years, decades longer than scientists had thought, a new study suggests.
I dislike the word "suggests" in news articles I believe to be allegedly factual. Whatever.
The article goes on to state; Genetic analysis pushes the estimated origin of HIV back to between 1884 and 1908. Previously, scientists had estimated the origin at around 1930. AIDS wasn't formally recognised until 1981.
That is the year I first remember hearing about it. That's also the year I (Yikes!) graduated high school!
Sadly, several years ago, I lost a very close friend, Marcello, to the HIV virus. It's funny and not in a HA-HA way, because I NEVER thought I'd directly know anyone who would contract or succumb to AIDS. I learned from my ignorance. I miss him. He was a GREAT guy.

WAIT FOR IT.......................
I named this blog after a book of poems and/or short stories I had hoped to one day write. Who knows if and when that may happen. I hope it does. In the meantime, I have this blog.
I had some difficulty choosing titles. The others that appealed to me were; "The Insomniacs Lament" and "Defying Gravity". I also briefly considered naming it "The Bitch Blog" as I was recently reminded that I tend to complain. Hey, where else better to do that then a blog for crap sakes!
blog discription:
Brain activity that occasionally flows through my body, into my arms, and down into my hands. These instruments of doom (slowly) type words that hopefully may, or may not, touch your heart, or at least make you think without causing a headache.
If in fact that does not occur, please forward all calls and complaints to management, who rarely answers the phone, and most likely doesn't care.
Thank you for your perceived understanding.
Finally, all words, thoughts, and deeds are protected/copyrighted somewhere in Washington D.C. If you abuse said rights, I'll most likely sue your ass if I'm able to locate it. I may possibly leave the rest of your body alone....................or will I?
P.S.- Said creative writer removes himself from all responsibilty for each and every spelling and grammatical error found within the blog you'll probably never read. Again, thank you for your hopeful understanding.

About Me
- C. Louis Wolfe
- I'm a SWM, rapidly approaching middle age, also known as "manopause". Born to parents I never knew. I've recently become aware that I am one of six twins, scattered throughout the world. I'm damn good looking for my age, and live like a king! Destined to die alone, unless I'm able to finally find a woman unstable enough to deal with my stuff. Including some issues, back issues, and a somewhat lightweight carry on, that now costs $15.00 if you want to check it!

Marcello. Nice name. Probably a nice person. I didn't know that scientists thought AIDS first started in the 1930's. Interesting.
Responding to a different post, I actually don't watch Ghost Hunters. I used to watch Paranormal State, but it was getting no where. I'll have to start watching now since you mentioned it!
Paranormal State is LAAAME! No offense, but I could care less about a bunch of college kids that take themselves much too seriously!
Personally I think GH's is more entertaining. I've actually met the guys a couple 'O times. They're pretty cool. I've tried a few times to get on the show because I myself am funny & would make the show MORE entertaining! Perhaps one day. I have however had MUCH more than my alloted 15 mins. of fame. I'm such a needy attention whore!
