  • I’m going to be that guy about GMO crops. If we were modifying them to be drought resistant or need less water, I’d be all for it. Instead, what we modify them for is to be “roundup ready” meaning that glyphosate can be sprayed liberally on it without killing it making weeding the field much easier. I am not concerned about the GMO crop, but I am concerned with all my food being covered in Roundup.




  • I got really out of shape for a while after having kids. Everything was hurting and I barely had time anymore to go to the gym, so I stopped working out. Getting out of shape exacerbated the aches and pains. Eventually I saw some photos of myself on a family vacation and realized how badly I’d let myself go. I started working out again. Took baby steps at first, like walking, body weight exercises, and high rep, low weight exercises. Over time, the aches and pains went away. Got back in a routine and slowly increased my goals. Now I’m in pretty damn good shape. I only do 2 days on and 2 days off for lifting so I don’t hurt myself, and it works for me. I’ve been doing a solid routine for 2 -3 years and I’m feeling a lot better. It was so crazy to see how out of shape I’d gotten. I was an athlete in the past, so it was humbling to see myself struggling doing like 10 body weight squats. Staying in shape is definitely easier than getting back into shape. Don’t do what I did. Stay active.











  • Story time… A guy I used to work with hit me up out of the blue to ask if I could venmo him $20 and he’d venmo it right back. I, knew this proposition was suspect. I told him he could just have $20 if he needed it. I asked around, and apparently he’d been hard into drugs and asked a similar thing to a lot of other people. He asked if the company I worked for was hiring a few weeks later. “Sorry bro, hiring freeze.” (There was no hiring freeze). I also never sent him another dime.
