I've never been good at identifying lyrics in songs, but now that I sing in public, I construct an emotional story to remember and deliver the lyrics. Now I can't help but find the emotional stories in songs, and I can't listen to I've Got To Use My Imagination by Gladys Knight & The Pips without crying like I've broken my leg. And it used to just be a fun song. http://youtu.be/33-pb1wPPgg

This game called art, what is it? Am not sure I know. It seems that realism, a style of saying nothing very well; and Modernism, a style of saying nothing very, very, badly. There must be a middle. - Jay Hall Conaway, journal entry, Arkell Museum at Canajoharie

Just got a nice message about my gastric bypass diary

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:26:35 GMT

I received an interesting e-mail from someone who read my gastric bypass surgery diary:

After twelve years I imagine you still get a ton of emails about this. I hope that they haven’t worn you out, and I’ll try and keep this short. I read the entire diary, which is quite a feat as most things I read on the internet don’t hold my interest for more than 5 minutes. Your story brought me to tears several times. Not because the content saddened me, but because it forced me to come to terms with my own weight problem. I don’t think that I could handle the strict routine that follows a GBS. I’m afraid that I would end up eating myself to death if I tried, but thanks to you, I’m changing my life today so that I don’t eat myself to death the slow way.
