The truth. The truth is at the age of 30 and under we ain't who we've become. Until the age of 30 We own the world and we are party fuc'in animals. Nothing is serious, hardly anything is real unless we say it is.
Word today, word prior to 1990. Word in the 80's, 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's 30's, and 20's. Mmm don't think they had fun before that. Think they were focused on food or something.
It changed a bit in the 60's. We found DRUGS!!!!! Such a cool step up from Alcohol, snuff and stuff.
There was no Hep C. Not a soul knew prior to 1989 that the disease even existed. After that no one talked about it SO it continued...NO ONE knew NOT to share a needle, a cocaine straw. NO ONE knew to sanitize dialysis equipment or Tat needles. The medical industry did not yet invent disposable syringes. And the blood supply was not safe until 1992.
Time goes by we are no longer 20 something. We grow up. We have families, good, solid jobs. Some of us are leaders in church or community or government. It doesn't matter who we are other than youth is a fantastic memory.
5, 10, 15, 20 years have gone by. Something happened all these years ago that not one soul knew existed. Hep C. When no one knew the disease could be got, Hep C was being spread.
So now they say 80% of victims of Hep C got it from Drug use. BUT that is not what people hear. People hear 80% of victims of Hep C are drug users. Did you just see the difference? If you didn't you must go back to the beginning and re read this entire story 'cause you are part of a worldwide problem blocking forward progress. Hep C Victims are silent because you don't get that last sentence.

"It once was asked of Martin Luther King
How the progress of rights could be so long coming.
His answer was not the evil of some
But the silence of good people
Although we may never arrive in the garden
The sin is not in failure,
But never starting
My silent friend..."
Movies
I am promoting a new service that transfers Super 16, Ultra 16, 16mm, Super 8 and 8mm film to HD ready digital. I do this because I know and trust the owners of the company and because my influence assures that charities will benefit immediately from their success.

Television
Television Commercials Produced
Forward Fast to the LAST 30 seconds to view these commercials. I did not ask our video editor to give us a DVD copy without the bars and codes that are there for the television station to cue up on. Virtually all of the work was done for us at no cost so to ask for anything else and this tiny edit and dub was not a request I wanted to make.
FYI these commercials were run time specific to awareness events held. They were aired in the Dallas area to a viewing audience of well over 1 million people.
CHECK THIS ORGANIZATION OUT! BAND OR CHARITY THEY EXIST TO HELP BOTH - "ARTISTS 4 CHARITY"
Books
Heroes
Victims of Hep C, their family and friends that shout out STOP THE SILENCE.
People that responsibly educate as well as call awareness to this silent killer.
A true pandemic, Hepatitis C has no place for silent heroes.

25 years ago Hep C got a name. 25 years later Hep C is still left unnamed by most of One in every Fifty people in the US that has it. 200 million victims live worldwide. Most are silent because they feel they must be. Public reaction is cruel because of their ignorance of the disease. ‘Cause for most people...it ain’t what you think it is. You don't have to have the disease to be affected by it.
Have you noticed your health insurance rates lately? Hep C is the number one cause of Liver Transplants in the US. Do you know what a liver transplant costs? The average is $250,000 (usd). That is only the beginning, anti-rejection drugs must be taken for the remainder of the victim's entire life ($4,000 to 10,000 / year). If a victim does opt for the 50% chance of successful treatment the cost is about $50,000 dollars a year. Sh.t, don't kid yourself that you are not affected. It ain't no joke and it ain't going away.There are OVER 5 million victims in the US alone. 200 million worldwide. According to every responsible reporting source, the number of victims has only just begun to surface.
DON'T BE FOOLED about the drug abuse you hear is the main reason for Hep C. There is so much you are not hearing.

I was going to ask you if you had any brochures or know where I can get some. I want to put some on my desk at work because it's a high traffic area and their are a lot of nosy people who come by.
I don't need you to judge Me, I only need you to understand… A little bit about hepatitis, And my footprints in the sand…. A road which has taught me to soul search, Something I had never knew… A road which has brought me sadness, But has also has brought me to you! So I am here to teach you, a little bit about me, To share with you my battle… About my lonely disease! I am sick of all the judgment and whispers behind my back , And I hate to say this but I will.. "It is education that most lack!" I am no different than you are, Yes, we both bleed Red! It's just that my blood is infected, Yes, "INFECTED" is what I said!!!! You can hug me and you can kiss me, And you can touch me to! Please don't isolate me, this only makes me blue. Meeshell
