I'd like to think I try to help others when I can. I lend my time and my support to causes that have effected my life and the lives of my loved ones. Things like the AIDS Quilt have really affected me. It's so hard to imagine all those people dying, it's something like 31.8 million since the disease was first discovered. It's not a gay disease, it's not a poor disease, it's a killing disease that we gotta stop.
One of my favorite organizations is The Children's Place Association. It is an organization that deals with children affected/effected by terminal diseases such as AIDS/HIV and cancer. Most of the little kids I babysat were in some way dealing with the HIV virus. I babysat them while their mothers attended a support group. It was amazing and really did change me a lot. To put these little faces with this horrible disease, it just makes you think and makes you drive toward making their lives better. I donated much time to different volunteering needs of that place and will continue to do so when I move back to Chicago. It's an amazing place.
Another cause I do a lot with is the fight against cancer. The women in my family have a horrible past with breast cancer, watching my grandmother die was a horrible thing, something I refuse to watch my own mother go through. There is TONS of info over at the American Cancer Society's homepage and the National Breast Cancer Site. Any cancer is bad, it's horrible to see people suffer from it, but especially children. It's gotta be ridden. Ya see, I figure if we can create pills to help guys get hard-on's and help guys grow back their precious hair on their precious heads, then I figure we can help save women from having masectomies and all the people who die from all the horrible cancers. The pieces just don't add up.
Of course I do a bunch of gender shtuff, being the wonderful trannyboy that I am. It can be draining, but in the end, we all just want to be treated equally for who we are, what's so wrong with that?
I'm totally on the ass of dead beat, non-child support payin' dads, grrrr. I am a bit jaded when it comes to this department having the piece of work for a father that I do, but, ya helped make us, geezus. I think it sucks that after divorces women hit the poorhouse with the kids and the fathers do very well. It's not fair. And it's wrong. It is such a horrible feeling to be seen as a financial resposibility, as opposed to a child, but stand up and realize yer responsibility, and don't drag the kids into it, that's so low. Kids get fucked in divorces, there's no if's, or's or but's to that for me, but they shouldn't feel left behind in some divorcal dust cloud. Nuf said.
Sumary report: Josh has a few things that he doesn't tolerate, and that he is very passionate about. That's all there is to it. Now go check the rest of me out.
