Good Eatin’

Off

Visited the gym for the first time in a couple of weeks (I took some time off on account of my laziness). I was able to go 30 min. straight on the elliptical at a constant pace of 20 kcal/min. whatever that means. Strangely enough, I’ve lost a lot of weight since I got back from San Francisco. About 15 pounds. Weird, no? Well, not very weird at all. I’ve also been cutting crap out of my diet since I saw how they eat in SF. “They,” meaning my brother and his fiancee. While not strict vegetarians anymore, they eat mostly salad, tea, and diet ginger ale. Apparently it’s also a big thing to eat avocados in SF these days.
My brother’s not a very meaty guy, it’s true. And his fiancee recently went on a serious diet in an attempt (successful) to lose weight. So, of course, my brother has to eat what she eats, and he’s lost almost as much weight as she. I mean, I’m not a carnivore, and even I think he needs a little meat in him.
So I’ve taken a lesson from all the beautiful people in ‘merica-land. I’ve been avoiding fried food, eating more salad, and bringing lunch to work instead of going out to eat. This has the unusual side effect of me having more money. Pretty neat deal overall.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
