sinker 0 #1 November 8, 2005 So I land tonight in an eastern town, it's late, after 11 pm... at the rental car counter is a giant... the first bona fide, in person case of acromegaly I've ever seen. The man is just enormous. Almost of Andre the Giant proportions. Deep, nasally voice, monstrous hands, large head, Marty Feldman eyes. very tall, can't stand straight up in the rental car booth. Right out of a strange HBO mini-series. We share the same first name. He seems nice enough, but he avoids eye contact with me. I try to engage him in conversation, asking him for directions to my hotel, what's the weather supposed to be like, but to no avail. He was too shy, or maybe just weary of curiosity seekers or maybe even something else. I began to wonder, what must life be like for this man? Ill fitting clothes, awkward stares, avoiding glances, knowledge that his life will likely not be a long one, given the health problems that come with the disease of acromegaly. On the ride to the hotel, I found myself hoping that this man knew that his worth and dignity came from who he was as a person, not a freakish man summed up by the symptoms of his disease. And I found myself hoping that more people in the world, including myself, could move past the superficial tendency to judge people based solely on their appearance or first impression. Good night. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #18 November 8, 2005 Thoughtful Post! It brings to mind a guy I worked with some years ago on the west coast, he too shared your name, and had the same physical appearance you described here. Mike worked in the parts cleaning area, by himself, of an aerospace company. Many large jet engine and rocket parts moved through his area daily and no one could keep up with Mike when he was 'on a roll'. He could lift with one hand parts most others needed a crane to move! He had that same look in his eyes as the man you met tonight, and spoke with an almost child like innocence that made many believe him to be intellectually slow...he was not. My 'work' was just my job...I was a supervisor, but didn't get into the politics or clicks or general bullshit that often goes with working many hours in the same place with the same people doing the same thing day after day. I had an outlet at Lake Elsinore that was my true focus, so I went about my daily duties with machine like efficiency. I treated everyone the same...team members trying to get parts out the door on time. Mike and I got along GREAT! I would stop by at the start of the shift, drop off a 6 pack of Coke for him since he didn't like to go to the lunch room....give him a priority list and pretty much leave him alone...he liked it that way, and told me so. "I'm not stupid, I don't need to be watched like a child" he told me once, "You do it right" Outside of work... one weekend night, I was at a 'Hot' club downtown San Diego with the girl who is now my wife...fancy place....tie on me, black dress on her...walking to the bar for another drink, who should I run into but Mike! He was drinking a pitcher of beer like it was a mug, I bought him a refill and invited him to join us at our table... I have to admit he blew me away with the range of topics we discussed and the intellectual views he had. There was one uncomfortable moment when I said something about not knowing he came 'here'. "You mean to a place where the beautiful people go?" he asked. I paused for a moment, Mike looked me in the eyes and said something I'll never forget. "I see the the world the same way you do, the world just doesn't see ME the same way it sees YOU!" "Nothing I can do about it and really...It's not MY problem...." he said. He went on about how he'd decided a long time ago that in order to enjoy HIS life, he wouldn't let the looks he gets and the whispers bother him. Mike has a lot to deal with in life, more than most of us could even fathom. Thankfully for him and me, his spirit is every bit as big as the rest of him! That night Mike & I went from being co-workers to being friends... It was MY honor. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
