Happy Birthday Stuface !!!…….

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Ahhhhh, another year older eh ! Yep, Stuface has managed to put another 12 months on his clock.

I won’t bother saying “I hope you have a nice day” as I know he is far too busy doing things arty to even notice the day going on, and yes I realise this is the same photo from last year, but I’ll get some new pics on Saturday and replace them then.

Stuface, Happy Birthday Dude !! :oD

stu's birthday (repeat !)

Clint Died, Bye Bye Sunshine…….

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

A friend of mine died at the weekend :o(

I will never get to talk with him again.

His name was Clint Walters and he was only 31. He was something of a legend for me as he dedicated his life to helping raise awareness of the HIV virus for young people, having been diagnosed himself at the age of just 17 and finding very few resources for helping people of that age.

The first time I met him I knew who he was from my own volunteer work with GMFA, I had seen Clint on some adverts and posters. But nothing could have prepared me for the real thing. This guy was *SO* upbeat and optimistic, all the time. He was sunshine personified, that’s the only way I can describe him.

I made it a point when ever I saw him after that to always project the same optimisim and cheerfulness, even when I didn’t feel much like it, if he could smile all the time then so would I.

He was completely selfless and battled for a long time to get funding for a clinic and support centre in London. I remember conversation with him about it, he still did not let it get him down, he just smiled and said he would find a way to make it happen.

He passed away on Sunday 4th April from a heart attack. I hope he is still smiling where he is now.

Clint you will be missed by many :o(

Addendum:

The Independant has an article here regarding Clint’s passing
