It's where I write stuff
I am admittedly not a fan of what is commonly called a deload from resistance training. I think the concept came from sport specific training whereby one reduces the fatigue that comes along with building increased fitness to allow that fitness to then be displayed. I don't doubt it has its place in preparing for …
I try to avoid watching Trump speak because it's painfully, embarrassingly awful. The nonsense he spews, the way he rambles and avoids actually saying anything, his seeming inability to put even one complete sentence together, and of course the steady stream of lies. But I do enjoy watching the late night guys' monologues on YouTube, …
Race is a human construct. At the genetic level, there's no such thing. We are human beings, homo sapiens, despite different skin tones, hair types, eye shape, height and all the other variations our species enjoys. Men and women can procreate and create fertile offspring no matter our place of birth, and anyone with a few …
Although I haven't written about it in a while, I remain focused, preoccupied and probably obsessed with my weight training. Obsession has a bad reputation, but I think this is a pretty healthy one. Obviously there are physical benefits to regular exercise, but more importantly for me, there are emotional and mental benefits. The training …
The gun culture in the United States is one thing, and there's lot of room for debate about its place in the modern world, but the hate culture is another story for which there is no debate. Our current political atmosphere is so toxic that all the pent up hatred toward specific groups of people …
Since my last entry in which I bemoaned the Metropolitans ugly trend of losing games in which they led, the unthinkable has occurred: they're winning. A lot. It seems almost as if the post-All Star Break second half of the season is a completely new season. The less famous NY MLB club, at one point …
I'm still watching, but it's been brutally painful. You'd think after last year's 10-41 streak that nothing the Mets could do this year would be as hurtful. But losing 7 games in a row when you had the lead late in the game is a bitch. I've got the Sunday night game on right now, …
Ah summer. That wonderful time of year when temperatures reach broiling by 10:00 AM. When you sweat in your freshly ironed shirt by the time you reach your car, and then can't breathe when you get in it. If that's not wonderful enough, the mosquitoes are out in force to make your skin feel like …
I am one of those Americans who has not read the Mueller Report. I am instead, one of those Americans who has watched extensive coverage by legal minds who have read the report; those minds including former prosecutors, former FBI leaders, former CIA leaders, and countless career journalists who cover American politics. I felt like …
Donald Trump, the conman, tax cheat, grifter, racist, Nazi-sympathizing, misogynistic, admitted sexual predator who currently serves as President of the United States, thanks to an antiquated vote parsing system called the Electoral College, is up for reelection in 2020, but he's never really stopped campaigning. He has continued his rallies around the country where he …
