Shades of gray.
A friend wrote me an email tonight, raising some thoughtful and valid questions about the ethics of what I’m doing.

My current theory on dieting and weight loss.

Fuck 2008.
I’m glad to see the last of this year. It has not been awesome for me, mostly. Hopefully 2009 will be better — for me, and you, and everybody. (If your year was awesome, well — 2009 will be awesomer.)
I’m really sad today, but I’m hopeful that I can be a better human and a [...]
