<!--<p>I experienced an invigorating and wonderful semester as&nbsp;Visiting  Lecturer at <a href="http://www.humboldt.edu/">Humboldt State University</a> this Fall.&nbsp;Grading the Finals provided evidence that teaching does in fact  change lives, perspectives, and is the fuel for the kind  of&nbsp;optimism&nbsp;and&nbsp;change our nation needs in anticipation of a  Barack Obama presidency (Yes We Did!). I will continue as a Visiting Lecturer  at HSU in the Spring, though in more creative fashion, teaching &quot;Hip Hop  and The Black Experience&quot; over the course of&nbsp;3 weekend seminars.  Check my calendar for updates. Be sure to peep&nbsp;the special <a href="http://blog.reddirt.biz/?p=218">World AIDS day blog</a> I wrote as  tribute to Sylvester. Also, on <a href="http://www.reddirt.biz/thefrontporch.htm">December 5, The Front Porch</a> celebrated 4 years in a World AIDS Day tribute featuring Marvin K. White, J.B.  Rap, and MC Mid*One, among others.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.reddirt.biz/?p=222">Returning to Houston</a> has been  bittersweet. The return, to love,&nbsp;was without the very impetus for  coming.&nbsp;Things happen for a reason.&nbsp;I'm all the more resolved that  Houston is a part of the grand plan-- and look forward to uncovering the  beautiful alignment of people and opportunities that make the volition of my  he-art, make sense (and cents).&nbsp;&nbsp;2009 is bound to be an inspiring  year-- full of all the promise I imagined when I relocated to Houston in June  2008: A&nbsp;promising faculty position at the institution of one of my mentors  (the late <a href="http://www.ericrofes.com/">Eric Rofes</a>), an album on the  verge of changing the Hip Hop game, and other consulting and educational  prospects reaffirm that nothing is lost in loving.&nbsp;I encourage&nbsp;you to  follow your heart...as surely as you work to protect it.</p>
<p>Take note of my first ever <a href="http://blog.reddirt.biz/?p=219">magazine Cover</a> with <a href="http://www.hivplusmag.com/">HIV plus magazine</a> (Jan/Feb 2009), a great <a href="http://www.queermusicheritage.com/spot1.html">radio interview</a> with  J.D Doyle (Queer Music Heritage) and Jimmy Carper (Afterhours) at Houston's  KPFT, as well as nice write-ups in the new <a href="http://www.swervmag.com/">SWERV  magazine</a> about Red Dirt Publishing and an Advance Review of the forthcoming  &quot;In Security: The Golden Error&quot;.&nbsp;It is being <em>rumored</em> that a special release party will happen in Washington, DC during  Inauguration/MLK Weekend, so stay tuned for details. Yes, my plans are to be  there...</p>-->
<!--<p>As the Fall Semester and my position as Visiting Lecturer at Humboldt State University comes to a close, there is much to cover. <a href="http://www.times-standard.com/ci_10915668?IADID=Search-www.times-standard.com-www.times-standard.com">The Hard Gay Tour </a>with Last Offence and Deadlee turned out to be a great experience.&nbsp; Doing a tour with rappers with burgeoning careers of their own was exciting. I'll be blogging about the experience momentarily at my <a href="http://www.outhiphop.com/theoutroots/">Out Hip Hop blog</a>. Beyond the hard work of touring on a budget, it was just great to experience California with two other gay brothas celebrating the election of Barack Obama while upset about the injustice and fearmongering of Proposition 8. I blogged about the complicated reactions to the passing of <a href="http://blog.reddirt.biz/?p=203">Prop H8 at my blog</a>.</p>

<p>Bringing the <a href="http://blog.reddirt.biz/wp-content/houstonnovflyer.jpg">Front Porch to my home city, Houston, TX</a> on November 1st, proved to be a successful endeavor.&nbsp; With features The Qure (Houston), Caretta Bell (Houston), and Cornelius "Life" Jones, Jr. (New York), I am certain that we'll be bringing the event back to Houston. The show was electric and exciting. I'll be bringing the <a href="http://www.reddirt.biz/thefrontporch.htm">Front Porch back to HSU just after World AIDS Day (Dec 5</a>), when I'll be joined by poet Marvin K. White MC Mid*One, and J.B. R.A.P among others.</p>

<p>The Campus Dialogue on Race course called "Black Male(d): Deconstructing Black American Male Experience through the poetry of Langston Hughes and TuPac Shakur" produced some incredible discussions. And last but certainly not least, my forthcoming&nbsp;album&nbsp;"In Security: The Golden Error" approaches completion for release in January 2009 (cover design by <a href="http://www.michael-christopher.com/about.html">Michael Christopher</a> on homepage). Check out a few of new songs at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/timmwest">myspace</a>.</p>-->
<!--<p>My blog "<a href="http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2008/08/29/hi-family-introducing-my-partner/" target="_blank">Hi Family: Introducing my partner</a>"&nbsp;continues to generate&nbsp;provocative buzz. I also launched my exclusive blog for OUTHIPHOP.com called <a href="http://www.outhiphop.com/theoutroots/" target="_blank">The OUTRoots</a> an attempt to offer critical, historical and politicized context to the whole gay rap movement.&nbsp;I fell in love with TX in my short time there before taking the Fall Semester job at Humboldt; and while I won't be in&nbsp;Houston until their Front Porch Launch, Nov 1 (and just before the election), I'm excited about getting to Dallas in early October:&nbsp;The Front Porch and <a href="http://www.fireandink.com/" target="_blank">Fire and Ink</a> Literary Panel at <a href="http://www.dallassouthernpride.com/" target="_blank">Dallas Southern Pride</a> (10/3-4).&nbsp; Related is my feature in E. Patrick Johnson's Oral History "<a href="http://uncpress.unc.edu/browse/book_detail?title_id=1403#reviews" target="_blank">Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South</a>".&nbsp; Good stuff.</p>-->
<!-- <p>My first weeks of teaching at <a href="http://www.humboldt.edu/" target="_blank">Humboldt State University</a> have been quite invigorating.&nbsp; I have started teaching my "Hip Hop Nation: Who is Really Real?" course to more than 60 students. I am also teaching a course for Campus Dialogue on Race called "Black Male(d): Deconstructing Black American Male Experience through the poetry of Langston Hughes and TuPac Shakur".&nbsp; This Fall&nbsp;will also launch "The 3: The Hard Gay Tour" with Last Offence and Deadlee, Nov 6 (Humboldt State University) Nov 7 (Oakland), Nov 8 (San Diego) and Nov 9 (Los Angeles).&nbsp;My forthcoming&nbsp;album&nbsp;<em>In Security: The Golden Error</em> will be ready for release in January 2009. Ya'll ain't even ready! (smile)</p>-->
