I'm Shawn. I was diagnosed with HIV at age 11, infected through tainted blood products which were used to treat hemophilia, the genetic bleeding disorder I was born with. When I was diagnosed with HIV, I was given less than two years to live.
I survived.
Today, I am a writer (author of My Pet Virus), speaker (with Gwenn Barringer: shawnandgwenn.com) and musician (synthetic-division.com). I'm very happy and healthy and love my iced mochas... but focus on the first paragraph...
Since March 2009, I've posted pictures for Decker's Daily, soliciting iced mocha sponsorships from kind readers of my blog. For $5, you can buy a guy with AIDS- me- an iced mocha. They fuel my blog, my art- my life!
Simply paypal $5 to shawn at mypevirus dot com, and I'll toast you personally right here on Decker's Daily!
Positively Yours,
Shawn

Late but… Spent Halloween with my spooky gals and ladybug girl!
Yesterday was a long travel day! Back home now, clicked this shot on the shuttle bus in Philly.
Monster Slipper of the Day: Tom Boddingham is the proud owner of a brand new monster’s paw-shaped bed. One problem, though: He ordered a slipper.
Boddingham says the Chinese company that manufactures the slipper missed the decimal point in his custom order: He wanted a size 14.5 left, but got a size 1,450 instead.
“It was sent directly from Hong Kong and measures 210 x 130 x 65cms – the same length as a grizzly bear or a family car,” the 27-year-old from Ilford, East London, is quoted as saying. “I reckon I must be the owner of the biggest slipper in the world.”
The company has since apologized to Boddingham, and promised to send him a replacement slipper. Asked why the request for a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL monster’s paw didn’t raise any flags, a spokesman said the employees thought it was meant as a prop for a window display.

World’s tiniest man has trouble finding slippers ?

March, 2011 - My friend Jeremi in his awesome Mad Balls shirt. When I was a kid, I loved those!

March 3, 2011 - While in Anguilla, I decided to trade in the daily iced mochas for daily Mango Colodas. You can hate.
