Netflix, holy dang, Netflix has blown my mind in that fact that it is totally throwing these crazy awesome recommendations at me. It's like Netflix and I were total roommies back in the dorms of college and even though we have grown so much since we were last really in the same room together, we totally still get each other. I love you Netflix!
ANYWAY, "the 'flix" (we're totally on the nickname basis) recommended this move called Jeffery(as did Josh at the same time!). It's this movie about this gay guy that's from Wisconsin(interesting...) who lives in New York in the early 90's when HIV and AIDS just started to become a huge fear. So the main character vows to stop having sex because it is terrifying and that is, of course, when he meets the hot love of his life that... well, has HIV. The story follows this quirky guy(named Jeffery) through this crazzzzy adventure.
But there was one thing in the movie that really really really bugged me that was said by one of the characters:
"In a few years, this whole HIV thing will be cured... gone... right?"
(Excellent transition starts here). I'm running/walking the AIDS FOUNDATION WALK/RUN this weekend here in Chicago because, well, it still hasn't been cured. And as much as I love well made movies that discuss the topic of these issues... I don't want the issue to still exist. And, of course, you can totally help.
