I’ve been trying to talk less about myself in the last few days since I read Jason Calacanis’ post about not blogging about yourself and what you are promoting. But, this post will be at least a little about me.
I crossed over the 220 lbs mark right before SXSW. I’ve known for a while I’ve […]

I’ve started doing Body for Life again. I just finally got to the point I couldn’t take being this fat. I’m the fattest I’ve been in my adult life, 214 lbs. I’m also very out of shape. So I started the BFL diet and exercise program.

Nightshades include tomatoes and potatoes as well as all hot peppers. Filmmaker Roberto Rodriguez has a 10 minute cooking school on the Once Upon a Time […]

If you haven’t seen it already, check out the Will It Blend website. There are a bunch of videos of a guy blending things that just shouldn’t be blended. For instance he blends a night at the movies into a smoothie. That consists of a coke, - still in the can - a DVD, and […]
