What I have been up to lately

I have been away awhile, keeping myself busy. About 8 months ago, I got into CrossFit and have been enjoying every workout since. I log my workouts onto gymga.com, so I will not clutter up my blog with all that, but I will share some of the photos.

 These are my battle wounds from the jump rope, need to work more on double unders.

 Last set of 5-5-5-5-5 reps at 275#.

 After completing the Warrior Dash in MO. The most fun I have had during a race.

 Rowing during a Team WOD at CrossFit Manhattan.

What Does Memorial Day Mean To You?

This is another article I wrote for our FRG Newsletter. Still filled with a little bit of sarcasm, but more meaningful than the last one I submitted. I hope to actually see this one published in the Newsletter. Just follow the link above for the full article.

The Top 10 Reasons Men Should NOT Have Sex

The Top 10 Reasons Men Should NOT Have Sex

I decided to make a top ten list on the reasons men should not have sex. You can find plenty of articles that give you reasons to have sex, but not many telling you to not have sex. This is a funny paper and I think anyone who reads it will laugh at least once. Below are reasons nine and ten. To read the rest you will have to follow the link above (plus there is a picture of Lindsay Lohan).

# 10: It is immoral

Sex for any other reason than to procreate is improper and a crime against nature. Humans are the only mammals that have sex for pleasure. Animals only have sex to procreate. Sex is the consequence of lust, and lust is a sin the Devil created to bring us pain and suffering. You lust after a woman, have sex with her, and then die becoming Satan's sex slave in Hell, where he will have sex with you, like a rabbit hung like an elephant, for all eternity. It does not matter if your faith believes this way or not, it is the truth.

#9: It is Addictive

Sex is highly addictive, and extremely dangerous. Addictions are not fun, they make you do crazy things that you would not do under normal circumstances. When you become addicted to sex, you will do anything to get it. You even will rob and steal to get money to pay for sex. When stealing no longer works, you will resort to rape and rape is a serious crime. You will be thrown into prison, where you will be raped every day, for at least the next 10 years of your life, as you serve your minimum sentence. (In prison, they do not use lubrication and you will likely have multiple partners.)

My article that was too informative to make it into our Unit's FRG Newsletter, so I have put it on here and included the back stories for the article. I hope you enjoy the read.

Eat Healthier Without Dieting

The link above will take you to my article on Healthmad.com. It is about the NuVal nutritional system. This system is still in the process of being implemented in grocery stores. However, once this system takes full effect, nutritious eating will never have been easier. If you like the article and want to get your grocery store to start using this system, visit the NuVal website (link available in the article) to get the information on how to get your grocery store involved.
