Gingrich Gets Fairy Dusted

So, you have a disagreement with Newt Gingrich, so you decide to sprinkle him with glitter? Why? First, Gingrich is a nobody. Sure he’s got name recognition and people ask him for his opinions, but he wields no power. He may have just thrown his hat into the run for president, but he’s got so [...]

Gay? There’s an app for that.

Apple under fire for ‘gay conversion’ app – Telegraph Can some explain to me why there would be a problem with this? If you’re gay but would rather be straight, wouldn’t you be glad there’s help out there? It’s not like these people who think they can rehab a man’s wrists are cruising gay clubs [...]

A Rose by Any Other Name is Still a Kick to the Face

On Saturday night, UFC Midleweight champ Anderson Silva delivered a front kick to the face of Vitor Belfort that led to unconsciousness. Shortly there after, it was disclosed that none other than action star and 7th degree Aikido black belt Steven Seagal was working on that kick with the champ. Very odd. In an interview, [...]

Is This Really That Mysterious?

I stumbled upon one of those stupid sites that basically just lists stuff. A list of lists where lists are temptingly clickable. Usually they’re disappointing. Those 10 amazing photos are really two pretty good ones and eight mediocre photoshops. This one caught my eye: 10 More Unsolved Mysteries of the World The whole article is a [...]

Donut Roll

As the Krispy Kreme Challenge nears, I can’t help but think if there’s other great ways to combine donuts and physical challenges. Immediately, my mind went to Jiu-Jitsu. I call what I am about to lay out: The Donut Roll. The Donut Roll is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Donut eating submission challenge. Rules: Each round is 5 [...]

I’m Not a Runner

Over the holidays, I stupidly signed up for the Krispy Kreme Challenge. Just so we’re on the same page, this Challenge consists of a 2 mile run, the consuming of a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, followed by a run back to the start. STUPID! My wife got into this kick about doing strange races and [...]

Ice Bath: Restart

I had to restart the ice bath (or very cold bath) experiment. I was unable to get sufficiently cold enough water last week, so rather than continue doing luke warm baths, I decided to go ahead and start over. So far, I do notice on the nights I take the frigid dip, I sleep very [...]

1st Day of the “Ice” Bath Experiment.

I recently purchased and read The 4 Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4 Hour Workweek which I also enjoyed. I figured I’d give this a shot because it had huge promises with little effort. Pack on 30+ pounds of muscle in a month with only 4 hours of total work out time? [...]

NYR: More Writing Clarified

My wife informed me that my last post was either whiney or unfinished. After fighting the urge to smash her computer, I realized she MAY have been right. I was trying to be brief and concise, but clearly I failed. What I was trying to say is that I feel as though I should be [...]

NYR: More Writing

Sure, here, but also at Cringe Humor. The guys at Cringe Humor have been more than great to me. I’ve been booked on their shows. They’ve introduced me to some cool people. Perhaps more importantly, they’ve given me a space on their site to write, and while I may contribute, I don’t feel like I’m [...]
