Meeting Tucker Max at an “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” Movie Screening
Surprisingly enough, I didn’t even have a chance to finish (I did start) the best selling book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell before seeing the blockbuster movie at a pre-screening in Gainsville Florida- on the eve of my 21st birthday no less.
The end result?
Had a great time, the movie kicked ass, got a bunch of free stuff, and I got to meet and personally invite Tucker Max to T21C 2010.
Experience
It was a short 2 hour drive (maybe less) to Gainsville from Orlando. I rode with my room mate and his friend Jeff. We got there a full 2…
The Ultimate Post on and Holy Trinity of: Proper Footwear (Vibram Five Fingers included)
It’s here…the post you’ve been waiting for on my funky- yet functional- “frog” shoes. Expected read time- 12 minutes.
Outer Purpose
To educate others on the best footwear available, in the world.
Deeper Purpose
I believe it to be vitally important for long and short term health (as well as athletic performance) to wear traditional shoes as infrequently as possible.
Personal Experience
For over one year, I’ve worn traditional (cast like) shoes no more than a handful of times, including…
Random Thoughts On “Being the Change I wish to See in the World”
Expected read time: 10 minutes
When I began my last Random Thoughts post, there were 2 remarks I wanted to discuss. I ended up only choosing one at the time since I did not want the post venturing into too many different areas.
The result was great- I got a lot off my chest, and nothing but excellent feedback/insight (which doesn’t inherently mean positive, but this time around it exclusively was).
Today I will discuss not only the other comment from a close friend and mentor, but break a few rules and venture into multiple topics.
In blogging theory this is not a wise idea, but then again I expected my previous post on Strength Training to generate dozens of negative comments- of which, there were virtually none. In fact that post seemed to attract a higher quality and quantity of…
The Ultimate Post on Why Strength Training is Proper Exercise & Superior in Every Way
Expected read time for most people to change their life- 13-16 minutes
Purpose
To (further) debunk widely accepted and heavily promoted misconceptions in the field of exercise in one comprehensive post- albeit in the least abrasive (knee jerk reaction producing) way possible.
And hopefully- in a nation that has fallen flat on it’s face in pure frustration and abysmal results for time invested, with no hope in sight in terms of exercise, nutrition, and disease- to provide valid insight into how our bodies work and point people in the right direction for further, practical information and application for immediate results that are often desperately needed.
Background
In no way, shape, or form am I the most qualified person to be creating such a post, but I am qualified none the less. I have experienced enough of the aforementioned topics and read enough multiple thousands of pages on (legitimate) exercise science to spot…
Random Thoughts on an Interesting Paradox: The Price of Free
1.1 million views and counting- how’s that for “social proof”?
Since wrapping up T21C 2009, I’ve spoken on and off with various friends about the event. This is natural of course- it’s a huge aspect of my life and everyone hears about it.
While everyone is supportive, there have been a few comments that have peaked my curiosity into “group thinking” and conventional (usually false, but widely accepted) wisdom.
In this post, I’m going to attempt to string my thoughts together on (one of) these remarks- hopefully into something cohesive, that I believe many will find interesting.

The one we will discuss today comes from a…
An In Depth Review of: The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson
Free 2 hour video by Primal Blueprint author Mark Sisson. Click to watch in HD.
Begin official Primal Blueprint review.
I’d like to kick start this review of The Primal Blueprint by saying that there was a feeling of relief upon completing it. The practical information and understanding Mark Sisson has compiled into this book is a true first in the field of paleo diet nutrition, and perhaps “lifestyle” as well.
As it stands, this is my number one pick for understanding proper nutrition- a spot on my roster that has previously been left empty- to my dismay
Hence if you’ve checked out the resources section lately you’ll find a handful of books, that together, painted a decent picture of my views on nutrition and exercise. Individually, they all fell short in the field of nutrition.
Even the popular Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain fell short in a few (critical) areas- namely saturated fat and…

Remembering Curtis Noll
It’s been exactly one year since Curtis Noll died, at 22 years old of a rare type of cancer.
Who was Curtis Noll?
For one, my best friend. We had our differences at times- ever since an old friend Nick Howard introduced us, and Curtis decided to spin out in his Mustang down a dirt road to see how loud I’d scream.
That was my freshmen year of high school…and it seems like yesterday.
Two, Curtis was a leader and- almost ironically, but I think many agree without question- a role model. Curtis was constantly in trouble with small things- speeding tickets in particular- girl’s boy friends, girl’s parents, girl’s friends….ha!
But in the end, he lived his life without restraint- even before he knew the end…
Happy Saturday from T21C Speakers
I have a few cool things to share today from the speakers @ The 21 Convention (2009). First up is a comical video from DJ Fuji- arguably the best 2009 speaker and former cheif instructor for Mehow inc. The video is a series of impersonations from Psych- an instructor for Pua Training.
More- and even more hilarious- footage of psych coming (and even some of me!).
…
This next one is a bit more heart felt from my good friend El Topo @ The Red Mole. No lie, this video struck a chord in me… Thank you Steve for your continued support and sticking with me (and everyone else!).
Finally, this was only supposed to be for those who attended the convention, but after watching the entire…
Live free or die.
