Many of you have asked me what The Dangerous Lee Experiment is about and as soon as the official promo film and logos are complete I will debut my experiment to the world.

Essentially The Dangerous Lee Experiment came to life as I realized that even with a day job, I am living at the poverty level. Because of this, I have decided to leave the work force as an employee. It’s time to take the Dangerous Lee brand to the next level and that requires me to step out on faith. I’d rather be poor and working for a better life for myself and my daughter by fulfilling my dreams rather than punching someones clock.

I am a writer. I am an artist. I need to create as a free spirit. I weighed the pros and cons of leaving behind a steady pay check with becoming a “starving artist” and the pros outweigh the cons. I also know that I won’t be “starving” for long. Besides, I have always taken risks in life. I moved to New York City with less than $100 to work in the music industry many years ago and that taught me to never be afraid to believe in myself.

I’ve been unhappy and unsatisfied with my life for a very long time and after much reflection, in this horrible economy, I am happy to be working on The Dangerous Lee Experiment. I can’t wait to share it with you!

Having said all that, I will continue to work with Wellness AIDS Services on a contractual basis in the areas of HIV testing and counseling, National HIV Testing Day events, and The Red Masquerade Ball.

Highlights of the Week:

1/3/12 – Breakfast at Bob Evans with my mom after being up all night long. I tried the Pot Roast Hash and it was delicious, just not enough pot roast! My mom, like many of you are very concerned with my well-being in regards to my decision to leave behind a job to work for myself. After explaining to her what The Dangerous Lee Experiment is all about and all the work that I am doing she has calmed down.

I also took two garbage bags filled with clothes, shoes, and toys to Goodwill and I also threw in a copy of my book, Keep Your Panties Up and Your Skirt Down.

1/4/12 – Slept most of the day because I was up all night (again) then in the evening I went to the library, dropped off a copy of my book for an upcoming podcast interview with the Creative Alliance of Flint, stopped by my moms house for a visit and to help her clean, and reluctantly had McDonald’s for dinner. I was up all night reading My Friend Michael by Frank Cascio feeling lethargic, but unable to sleep. I loved reading that Michael Jackson has smoked weed and got his freak on from time to time. Good book! I don’t know what my problem is in regards to losing sleep. I think my adrenaline levels are very elevated. My memory is suffering terribly from the lack of sleep and I am crabby, so I need to get my sleep schedule back on track

1/5/12 – Didn’t do much today outside of the home. I slept all day (of course) but I don’t feel well rested at all. I love sleep, so something has gotta give in the area of getting Zzzzz’s.

1/6/12 – My daughter got sick again so she stayed home from school and I got some rest. It was a slow motion day.
