As a former candy feind I get serious cravings for sweets every so often, and I mean serious cravings. When I stopped eating refined sugars and cut almost all grains out of my diet, most of these cravings went away. Every so often, though, apples and bananas can’t kill the sugar monster welling inside [...]
Simple consciousness allows us to be strangers at best. Jaded and hindered by language, we observe behavior filtered through personality, temperament, mood, situation, and time. Every tilt of the head, blink of the eye, flutter of the heartbeat serves some purpose. Each individual’s existence is unique, and the reality connecting us all is the substance [...]
Have you ever considered, that maybe humanity knew all along? Maybe our understanding of God is just humanity’s way of dealing with His mystery? That God is not the person we have traditionally understood Him to be? That we try to place God into a box He cannot fit?
Look around you. Intelligent design is [...]
Hey there strangers. So I’ve found that I’m not too much the blogger type…not because I’m bad at actually writing blogs, per se, but more because I have trouble finally releasing whatever it is that I’ve written for the day. If only you could see the tens of posts I have waiting in my [...]
Since Cricket has a lot up in the big box already, I decided to start introducing my style with a note about Chaa. Like I’ve said in the past, I’m a concept artist, making the intangible tangible. What I’ve done here is essentially sublimated pieces of myself into a character of sorts, which I [...]
Pin ItForgive my “just-woke-up” hairstyle and web-cam-chic photo. I was too excited about the mail to take a shower before writing this post. If you belong to an industry that makes a big stink about networking and “building street cred in the biz”, you might have experienced the same excitement that I feel right now. With [...]
I’ve made many a stupid decision in life, but nothing that hasn’t taught me something about myself. For this reason, I consider myself someone who embraces regret. As you may know, I consider awareness and introspection as qualities necessary for self-improvement, and regret plays into these two quite nicely.
According to Merriam-Webster, regret in [...]
Pin ItHappy New Year! I feel like 2011 lasted forever, but we’re finally off to a year full of new opportunities. You don’t have to worry about me sharing New Years Resolutions or crying over the passing of 2011. I’d rather give you a sneak peak of coming attractions! I have a number of ideas [...]
After completing Bodyrock.tv’s Burpee Fusion workout with a personal best of 19:01.7 on Wednesday, making up a beastly 12 minute routine using pull-up-knee-raises yesterday, and completing a 25 minute Crossfit circuit this morning + four miles walking (two with twenty pounds of groceries), I thought I might write a post on the [...]
Pin ItBefore you tackle any decision or lifestyle-change, you should take a moment to stop and consider your motivations. I made the mistake of stepping into the foggy, rumor-filled world of weight loss and body transformation completely unguided and with unhealthy motives. In an effort to help you guys sort those out, I spent [...]
Pin ItPreviews of coming attractions…
For those of you who are just arriving, welcome! Forgive my dust and wood shavings, but the site is currently under construction. What I'd eventually like to have here is a place to express myself that will also serve as a resource for anyone looking for a healthier, more enjoyable lifestyle without all of the invasive dieting and exercise. Click on over to the About Me page to learn a bit more about how far I've come and where I plan on coming. ;) I look forward to seeing you around!
