Need Your Help

by on 27. Dec, 2009 in The 21 Convention

The 21 Convention 2010 (USA and Euro events) speaking lineup has been released.

However, I’m sort of stumped on who to invite for “nutrition” at the US event in Orlando. Ideally I want Kurt Harris there from PaleoNu. However, I spoke with him via e-mail and (at the moment) it seems unlikely that he will be there.

My next choice is Mark Sisson, author of The Primal Blueprint. I believe he would give a great speech, but it would be more educational than controversial.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but I want The 21 Convention to create waves in the field of nutrition, not just educate. I think in doing so, more people will be drawn to the online videos, and more people (that are looking for quality information), will find it.

So, any suggestions? There are a lot of choices obviously, but I’d like to hear from you guys before I make a call on this one.

Another thing I’m open to suggestions on are European speakers for exercise/nutrition (or…

“Leave me alone, allow me to mess up and learn on my own”

I apologize for the lack of focus on new content for The Dream Lounge lately (I have stayed up to speed on comments however). Things have gotten especially hectic over the past few weeks with the addition of organizing an annual camping trip my former best friend Curtis and I started in 2007, on top of my regular “duties” of directing two conventions, producing a documentary, school, and so forth.

Please don’t shed tears for me, but do have patience! I am all about quality, and will sacrifice none on this blog for the sake of getting a post out about an idea/subject that is of great importance to me.

So it’s known, there are two subjects that I am determined to get my ideas out on (coherently). What I Eat and Why, and for lack of a better term “politics”, although that does a poor job of communicating my thoughts on where my generation is heading without serious intervention (“awakening”). As nerdy as…

Facebook Fun

This is the re-posting of a recent discussion on my facebook, I thought it would prove interesting.

In response to my post about pre, during, and post workout nutrition, a close friend wrote

just to give a counterpoint

consider why men go to the gym today. Most go to increase muscle size/health/sexual attractiveness. IMO they are not concerned with doing it the “most” healthy way, but rather gaining results in the quickest and most efficient way.

My response:

“Health” and increased muscle mass are always intertwined. Thinking you can only have one and not the other is erroneous at it’s core. The same goes for best results and best use of time – best results require very little time.

I understand that with your beliefs, this is not the healthiest way about it. but you cannot deny that working out the way most people do is still better then sitting on the couch and eating potato chips. therefore, effectively, they are living a healthier lifestyle.

My response:

Yes I can, watch me =)

“Exercise” (random physical activity) the way most…
