One of my goals for 2015 was that I was going to fully abstain from drinking alcohol.  After a month of doing this, I’d like to report on the surprising results. Process For the first couple times going out, I’d go to bars and feel a little strange.  I felt as though I should buy […]

Last week I talked about the first tier of the Striving for Freedom health insurance policy.  Today I’d like to expand on that a bit and talk about the second tier:  your diet.  In order to not confuse anyone, this diet is a life long commitment to health.  This isn’t some bullshit that you do […]

I remember when I first started contemplating lifting weights, it was when I was in 5th grade and just started playing football.  It was obvious to me that I was much smaller than everyone else, so I thought I should get bigger to get better.  I can remember using my brother’s dumbbells in his room […]

As I stated in last week’s health article, I recently got into juicing pretty hardcore since Christmas. This was pretty much all due to the advice of a gentleman named Mike Cernovich.  Mike writes about a myriad of topics on his blogs and is an expert in juicing.  I respect what Mike has to say, […]

In my life I have travelled into some deep rabbit holes onto the internet looking up crazy stuff. I remember growing up before the internet, and I was around 14 when high speed internet started to take off. It wasn’t until a couple years later that I realized I can literally look up anything I […]

Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. -Mark Twain Stop arguing with people I have always found myself getting into arguments with people about stupid stuff.  I would sit there arguing points on a topic and find myself getting angrier and angrier with someone who just “doesn’t get […]

When I started to lift weights back in high school, the stereo in the corner of the weight room was always on.  I didn’t know what it was like to lift without music.  It wasn’t until much later when I went to my local gym that I learned what it was to lift in silence. […]
