I got in a brawl. If you think I look bad, you should see the other guy 😮😂💪🏻 Just kidding, of course. It was actually a bad boob job that caused the bruise 🤣🤣 #skincancer #skincancerawareness #fithomo #fitnessjourney #hivpositiveliving #thrivingwithhiv #fitforlife💪 #stayphysicallyfit #fitnessafter60 #longtermsurvivor #brainsandbrawn (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmF3hvJO51B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is HIV Long Term Survivors Awareness Day. After almost 35 years, I’m happy to say I’m no longer ashamed but proud to be HIV+. I wear my status as a badge of honor. And embrace it, a reminder of how fortunate I am to have survived when so many others didn’t. #hltsad #hivpositive #apositivelife #hrc #hiv #endstigma #endaids #findacure #cureaids #gettested #longtermsurvivor #hltsad2019 #cdc #survivorsguilt #gmhc @pozmagazine #poz #lgbtq🌈 #gaypride #pride #happypridemonth @theaidsmemorial #theaidsmemorial #paris #notredame #survivor #travelingman (at Hôtel de Ville, Paris) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByWBf08hX8M/?igshid=4ze9fqlo27yz

Floating high above Cape Town. And the clouds. While hiking Table Mountain. Thanks to Johan from @hike_table_mountain for expertly guiding us up India Venster. And for shooting this pic of me soaring 😊 #capetown #highjump #travelingman #vacationmode #fitforlife #travelphotography #southafrica #travelingsouthafrica #tablemountain #hiking #rockclimbing #mountainclimbing #naturephotography #naturegram #ilovesouthafrica #capetownlife @tablemountainnationalpark (at Table Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQoqOnnp8b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jr98wpqakztq

Some pics by me of the local bird population here in Cape Town. The first shot was taken on the top of Table Mountain after hiking up India Venster yesterday. Not sure what type of bird that is. The last three are of a habeda ibis, I believe, perched outside where I’m staying near Seapoint. The penguins pics were taken last week at the Boulders Beach colony. I need some more time with these cute critters, so I’m thinking I’ll make a return visit to the colony tomorrow. #ilovepenguins #birdstagram #bouldersbeachpenguincolony #birdsofinstagram #instabirds #penguins #capetown #wildlife #wildlifephotography #southafrica #natureshots #travelgram #travelingman #travelpics #tablemountain @hike_table_mountain #naturegram (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxNpPTsHzIw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fhyt90entxe2

I’m not sure what this is, but I’m totally digging the look and the “take your damn pic and then get the fuck outta my face” attitude 😂😂😂 #wildlifephotography #wildlife #africa #southafrica #capetown #travelphotography #adventuresinafrica #naturephoto #naturephotography #travelingman #sonya7iii #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #lionsheadcapetown #birdswithattitude (at Lions Head Mountain Capetown) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxBOfADHN9-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5h622uy6jg31

Hard to believe it’s 10 years ago today that Sherman passed away. He was a stray riding the NYC subway solo when our paths crossed in 1995. In hindsight, I think our encounter that day was meant to be. Using my belt as a makeshift leash, I took him off the train and into my home. Where he resided for the next 14 years. And into my heart. Where he now lives forever. Like his Pa, Sherman was fond of big, hard wood, the longer the better 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, he was known for his obsession with fetching heavy duty tree branches. Sticks did not interest him in the least. Sherman was super smart, a bit quirky and oh so affectionate. Both Bruce and I loved him so, to such an extent that a few months after he passed away we put an obituary of sorts in the local newspaper upstate, a picture of which is included in this post 😌 Dearly missed and forever loved indeed. #remembering #dogstagram #instadogs #petstagram #inmemoryof #loveandloss #catskills #catskillmountains #dogsofinstagram #straydog (at Margaretville, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw03Ld4HTZL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16n6nexscaght

No matter how long you been swinging a bell, never hurts to every so often dial it back a bit, lower the weight and work on fine tuning your technique. Because nobody’s perfect 😊 @mikemonti_ #swingmybell #ringmybell #kettlebellworkout #kettlebellswings #kettlebell #strengthtraining #fitforlife #fitafter60 #muscledaddy #discodaddy #functionaltraining #movementculture #calisthenics #bodyweighttraining #practicemakesperfect #apositivelife #hivpositive #overcomingobstacles #perserverance (at Exceed Physical Culture) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqisSuHQqp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=29l8el9j9ic
