Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Nerdy White Boy

I guess I’ve always had nerdish interests. One of my favorite law school classes was corporate tax law. As a practicing lawyer, I became fascinated with the minutiae and regulatory maze of banking and environmental law. And this geeky pattern has followed me intoThe Hotel Melanoma, where I find myself getting paler by the day and reading articles on melanoma treatment research that I understand at the level of someone who found high school chemistry to be magic. One of my favorite facebook pages nowadays is that of the MD Anderson Cancer Center’s melanoma clinic. What’s next, a personal subscription to the Journal Of The American Society of Clinical Oncology?

As I continue to proscrastinate on completing my tasks in preparing for an oncoming spring blizzard, I’ll leave you with the Hotel Melanoma rendition of Foreigner’s “Dirty White Boy”…

Hey baby if you're peelin’ brown
I know what's good for U sunrays

Are you worried what your friends see?
Will it ruin your reputation foll’win’ me?

'Cause I'm a nerdy white boy
Yeah a nerdy white boy
A nerdy white boy

Don't like those “Big Black” scars
Don't fry like Hollywood movie star

You want me to be true to U
You don't give a damn what fries do to you

I'm just a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy

Well I'm a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, yeah, nerdy white boy
A nerdy white boy

I've been in Hotel since I don't know when
I'm in Hotel now and I know somehow I'll find trouble again

I'm a loner but I'm never alone
Every night I get one step closer to the danger zone

'Cause I'm a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, yeah, nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, I'm a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy

C'mon, c'mon boy
Nerdy white boy, white boy
Nerdy white boy, I'm a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy

Hey I'm a nerdy white boy
Nerdy white boy, yeah, I'm a nerdy white boy
(Nerdy white boy) boy, nerdy white boy, yeah
