Hot or Not, Parting Thought
Ad ogni pazzo piace il suon del suo sonaglio. Every fool likes the sound of their folly. 'Tis hard to believe some people here have full-time jobs and families. American productivity at work. Am I hot? Yes, and you are not. And I would not want you naked before me, but... I would marry you for a small fortune, which I…

Autumn Food for Thought
A crisp wind is afoot at twilight; it is harvest time. My dinners are comprised of gourds, beef, wild game; sometimes a tort for dessert with apples and cognac. The days grow shorter, and I have taken to long walks in the hills for reflection on Ovid's masterwork, Metamorphoses. So many lovers in that book. Me, my heart is…

On Taking Offense
"I ate all da' foodz bc yolo." Such phrasal grotesquery. I speak of no one in particular; my concern is with the general debasement of language. It is a mystery why educated people write in such fashion. Surely these phrases are overused, and a cliche cannot be a good means of conveying personality--unless, of course, a…

The Canned Beans Industry Is a Fraud
So my can of black beans always says "Serving Size: Half Cup" and claims it has 3.5 servings in the can. I'm lucky if I get a cup of beans out of that. They must be counting the water. Beware of bean fraud, friends.

On Ethics: A Song of Finks and Ice
I remember often running afoul of frivolous rules in Catholic high school, such as dress code, but the Gestapo approach of the administration tended to reinforce bonds of friendship and classmates leaned on each other. To that end, I've been thinking of ethics, friendship and political organization in social networks.…

Thoughts on Bikram Yoga
--Excellent for flexibility and curing muscle aches; for me, it felt better than a massage or other kinds of yoga in this regard. A two-year-old calf injury feels like new. -- Minimal strength benefits. --I'm on the fence on the cardio aspects. I didn't wear my HRM. I guess at some points like my heart rate went high, but…

Low arches--any one else have this problem?
Anyone out there with low arches? Was wearing a new set of court shoes that are really supportive--good arch support, very stable--but my hamstrings started killing me after, which they never have done even after a 6-mile run or hike in my old running shoes, which were a little less supportive (but not flat). I'm thinking…

Going on a Cleanse to Release Toxins
Gonna bite the bullet on this one. For the next few weeks, I'll be drinking juice, green veggies, two kinds of grapefruit, kiwis, beans, and watermelon chips and that's about it. My hope is that my skin will clear and I'll find a new, detoxified me in time for my favorite event of the year, Beer and Bratwurst Fest 2013.…
