		<description>Sorry about that...I can't paste html into a comment so you'll just have to live with having to go through three steps just to get  a button because someone doesn't know that smart quotes and html aren't friends.</description>

		<description>um...no why don't you guys eliminate the need to do an extra step by putting in regular quotes instead of smart quotes!

That's an idea isn't it.  If anyone wants to just copy and paste.  Use this:

		<title>Comment on The Michael Brandon Meth-od by Makana</title>

		<description>I am trying to keep a low profile but many will know who I am by my experience that I post here.  I have been studying abroad and continuing on with my life after porn...  I did three scenes with Michael Brandon in 2002.
I also worked as a photographer on Monster Bang I.   I further worked as press and a photographer for numerous events he hosted.  

We became friends when I met him, through Mickey Skee, at a fund raiser for PROJECT AIDS TIJUANA.  We were friends and like brothers for many years from that June of 2000 date...

Brandon was a pilar of strength for me!  He was the big brother I never had and he was willing to go out on a limb for my health and well-being.  On August 3rd 2002 which was his 3rd birthday in sobriety at the time, I had the honor to interview him for Gay News Netherlands.  As a fellow porn star he really opened up to me.  Brandon and I had previously been at both the Grabbys and the GAYvN awards where Brandon was declared "performer of the year at both!"  Brandon let me ride with him in his limo to these events and I felt so much love for him!

In the Gay News Netherlands Interview, I asked him what it was like to go from the streets and prison to "Man of the year..."  He broke down and tears streamed down his face and he said, "Pretty fucken awesome"  I remember how spiritual he was!  I also remember coaching him when everyone but the two of us got out of the Limo at the Chicago Grabbys,.  Brandon was suddenly nervous! He was afraid of rejection or just not winning all the things he was nominated for!  I took him by the hand and told him that he had nothing to fear because he had already overcome so much in is life.   HE WON SO MANY AWARDS THAT NIGHT!  

Brandon always loved me no matter if I was sober or not.  In september of that year I had some distressing news and drank heavily...  I also did a lot of meth.  I called Brandon for help and he prayed with me from NYC to Los Angeles.  Another MAJOR pornstar who was clean at the time (and since relapsed) drove me to Tarzana treatment center.   Brandon came back to California and agreed to be my sponsor.  He taught me about spirituality and about being clean, worthy and beautiful!  He planted seeds in me to stay clean and sober and god-willing I shall celebrate 6 years on 12 December 2008!!!!!!

I got a job in NYC and when Brandon was visiting there, he would go out of his way to come and see me and he was sooooooooooo  proud that I stayed clean.  Brandon influenced me to go back to school and seek a Ph.D. which I am working on.... 

I have suspected from the summer of 2005 when I bumped into him at a Huntington Beach pool party that he was using and we grew apart.

I could not help him....

Sadly, I lost touch with this sweet angel.

Today, it came to my attention that Michael had relapsed and I spent the entire day and evening crying for my sweet brother...

Michael, if you can communicate with me I wish to help you!  In any case, I shall pray for you like you did for me!

Thanks for your love!</description>

		<description>Stand up for your rights and fight for your right to be free in America. Martin Luther King had to fight for the rights of all black people in America and now there is a black president. Fight like MLK did and one day there will be a gay president.</description>

		<description>There were a number of propositions voted on across the country during the Nov. 4 election alongside the presidential ballot. Two California propositions are creating controversy. People are who not Californians certainly know about Proposition 8, whether they are gay or not. But most non-Californians do not know that while Californians voted against gay marriage (Proposition 8), at the same time they voted to extend rights to chickens, pregnant pigs and beef raised for veal by a landslide vote 2 -to-1 .Oh yes, it's true. That's a "NO" for human beings and a "YES" for farm animals. Many gays voted for the animal rights issue, so it's a sad irony. It's similar to the story of a woman jogging in southern California who was killed by a mountain lion a few years ago. Remember? Well, the fund setup for the slain cougar's orphaned pups received more donations than the fund for the woman's orphaned children. A good article on the controversial propositions is on Ethic Soup blog at:

		<description>Eleven Reasons to Support Gay Marriage
  1. It's good for the environment! It would end Global Warming!     Lesbian women are 10 times more prone to wear biodegradable clothing.     Gay Men have smaller dogs that emit less Gas.        2. Reduced Population Growth. Gay couples can't produce    children no matter how hard they try!  3. Another new magazine would be created:" Vogue- Gay Wedding"  4. Hollywood does it, why shouldn't we?  5. This is the forerunner to the First Gay President  6. It would create New and Interesting Sex Education classes    for Middle School students.  7.By Allowing gay marriage, Heterosexuals would become the   Minority voice within the gay community and could now force   their way into Leadership Positions via Affirmative Action and   Quotas. Job Creation for "Old White Men".  8. Finally a Reason to MANDATE the use of Subaru Wagons    on all public access roads and freeways! The Rainbow would    once again belong to Everyone!  9. Ends Discrimination against Men in Thongs in public places. 10. Opens the door to the bring back the MULLET! 11. Madonna would have to find something else to sing about! * New Right of Passage groups for youths like "Queer Scouts" Brought to you by Wardbu and Sal; professional Agitators and Frictionalists."we'll sell anyone out, even ourselves"C 2008  "looking for love in all the THONG places""being Gay doesn't make me THONG" would a Gay  actress be a "Thesbian"?</description>
