Things people with long colons don’t think twice about:
- Drinking a large Starbucks latte before boarding an airplane.
- Ordering an extra side of beans with the Mexican entree.
- Going for the grease-ball hamburger at lunch.
- Doing sit-ups, squats and lunges over and over and over.
- Cautiously eating Fiber One bars.
Things with people with semi-colons don’t think twice about:
- Passing on the “camping in the woods” trip.
- Paying extra for expensive toilet paper.
- Cursing when a guest bathroom doesn’t have spray.
- Changing a dirty diaper.
- Cautiously eating Fiber One bars.

Welcome to the latest blog about colons.
I’ve created this blog for two reasons.
1. I am a young colon cancer survivor.
Actually, I’ve had colon cancer twice. I’m 25 years old. I’ve only got about 18 inches of my colon.
They say it’s good to have a place to let off steam. So I’ve created this blog. This will be my “dumping spot” for all things colon-related. I will be as candid as possible in my stories. I hope people with normal colons will find more appreciation after chomping down that plate full of refried beans without thinking twice, and my fellow semi-colons will find comfort that they’re not alone – and even laugh with me about what we go through.
2. I love to write.
Anne Lammott says to be a good writer, write every day. So my topic of choice that affects me every day: my colon, or lack thereof. Get ready for tales of the good and the bad. Maybe living through such a dramatic life event will have some rewards in the end.
So with that, welcome to blog. Let the games begin…
