Yeah, I’ll Take Some Health Over Here
This past week I went somewhere I haven’t been in a while, some call it Americas favorite pastime, I call it a game of catch. My lacrosse bias is clearly not shy, but I have to admit it was pretty cool going to the Ol’ ballgame, not necessarily because of the game itself but more […]
All Aboard – Next Stop, Your Mouth
Remember sitting high, eye level with that magical spoon of mushy goodness, hearing “Chooo Chooo…Open up, Here comes the Train”.

Remember a few years back when Charlie Sheen totally went off the rocker, drinking tiger blood and self claiming that he was “winning” in all things. Who could forget right? We all watched and eventually just filed it away in the category of celebrities who went crazy. At the time, not many people would actually […]
The Art of “Switching It Up” and “Seeing Some Shit”
Nothing like sitting back between sets, a deep breath, a quick scan of the room and taking it all in. Your in the middle of it, at the watering hole with all of the other animals getting your daily fix. In your peripherals, some dude decked out in spandex is grunting each hip thruster along, […]
