Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day 2009 will memorialize the beginning of the end of my first bout with "pouchitis". I have had diarrhea since April 28th, today is May 25th. You're thinking "but Tim, you always have diarrhea, you don't have a colon!" To which I respond, "I know, this is extra special diarrhea, accompanied by severe cramping, you wouldn't understand."
I am so snobby about my diarrhea, and I don't even care. A total diarrhea elitist.

Well, it's been a diarheaific month, but all good things come to an end. The antibiotics I was prescribed last thursday started working sometime this morning and I managed to have a lame, non-diarrhea-y bowel movement. Diarrhea is a nasty word.
-This is where all the magic happens-

Why Blog?

The better question is, why not blog?

1. Blogging is for girls
2. You have to think of stuff to say
3. I don't have kids (yet) to post things about
4. I am somewhat busy

However, I have been trying to force myself to start writing in my journal again, and I can't seem to do it. I have a very poor memory so I think there will be some benefit to myself to document some things in my life. Right this second, I can't say for sure that I will even tell anyone about this blog, I probably will. But I am not so comfortable that I think I really want to accept that right now. Enough, let the bloggin' begin.
