Hi, it’s me again, about the AIDS Walk again. Yeah, I know, it gets old, me always asking for money. But this is money to help people, right now. AIDS Walk Austin benefits organizations that have foodbanks & are giving out food right now, that are helping people keep their housing, that help people get to their gazillion medical appointments. Donating to this cause today will help someone tomorrow. If you want to help & don’t want to hear the music, here’s my AIDS Walk Austin page.  

I fell in love with this song last year, dunno why it in particular. But I like it, it is happy & as they say, you can dance to it.

I looked up the lyrics, to see if I can use them for inspiration, and I think maybe I can.

“Called Out In The Dark”

It’s like we just can’t help ourselves

‘Cause we don’t know how to back down

We were called out to the streets

We were called in to the towns

And how the heavens, they opened up

Like arms of dazzling gold

With our rain washed histories

Well they do not need to be told

Show me now, show me the arms aloft

Every eye trained on a different star

This magic

This drunken semaphore

And I

We are listening

And we’re not blind

This is your life

This is your time

We are listening

And we’re not blind

This is your life

This is your time

I was called out in the dark

By a choir of beautiful cheats

And as the kids took back the parks

You and I were left with the streets

Show me now, show me the arms aloft

Every eye trained on a different star

This magic

This drunken semaphore

And I

We are listening

And we’re not blind

This is your life

This is your time

This is your life, this is your time — to do something positive, to help people out. Even if you can’t donate at <my AIDS Walk Austin page, help someone today, do something nice for someone. That whole pay it forward thing, it actually works. And dance. Dancing is always good.

and here’s the video I made with the help of the AIDS Services of Austin people – tells why I walk (spoiler — because it helps people):

So this diary is awfully short on original content from me. But that’s my only message – please help AIDS Walk Austin, be nice to people & dance.
