It's where I write stuff
It is incredibly liberating to pull up the stats for the blog and see that zero visitors have come by. It's the equivalent of living alone, coming out of the shower and making coffee or having a snack, completely naked without a care in the world.
Every once in a while, I'll get this sensation that is calming and reassuring. I notice that my thoughts are clear, perfectly aligned with the universe and everything makes sense. I mean it doesn't, the universe is chaos, but the chaos seems perfectly reasonable. In these moments I wish I could express the sensation to …
I have this record that seems so out of place with my typical musical fare. It's by Los Lonely Boys and I don't recall how I came to own it. I forget I have it because my musical listening time these days has shrunk to my workouts. Even when I drive I typically drive in …
After committing to go for maximum beard growth, I've taken it upon myself to seek aid from science where my genetics fall short. I have grown out a beard once before, although my inexperience and lack of patience showed as I trimmed and shaped incessantly and thus came up with less than what I might …
Eddie is a good dog. He's sweet and easy going, albeit occasionally belligerent. But even when he's less than cooperative, he isn't nasty about it. He really just wants to hang out and snooze, get some snacks and occasionally go outside and smell stuff. He's a pretty good roommate.
As a much younger man, admiring the muscular physiques of the pharmacologically enhanced men on the covers of FLEX and Muscle & Fitness, I embarked upon a "mass gain" phase. I ate a lot of food, lifted a lot of weights, and grew like the proverbial weed. The growth was fat of course, but I …
I'm not a big fan of goals or plans because they have a great track record of failure. Not just mine, but everyone's. Planning and goal setting is a uniquely human obsession as none of our animal brethren bother with it. I do enjoy organizing my time though, so very short term plans that don't …
I'm on Day Three of my new diet strategy which features a significant amount of carbohydrates. I've been touting the benefits of low carb dieting for years now, so before anyone calls me out on it, I'll state it plainly. I still believe low carb dieting is healthier and makes it easier to get and …
Today begins my new circadian oriented feeding schedule. I rose at 6:00 AM and went for my morning stroll with my roommate Eddie V. Beagle Dog. Upon returning, I was about to feed him and myself, but since it was still not quite light out, I checked for official sunrise. Since I'm all about precision …
I've just completed the HBO miniseries on our second President and found it deeply moving. It was brilliant on every count. The cast was superb, with performances so authentic the show never felt like a recreation of history, but as history itself. I've grown ever so tired of American politics and more often than not …
