The21Convention.com/Attend

 
This is an unofficial attendance trailer I made in about an hour. Amazing what you can do with basic video editing. I plan on doing something like this, but much more advanced in the future, with the main video editor and production manager, and with the full database of convention footage (which is now in excess of 4,000 gigabytes).

By the way, the British pound is worth $1.60 right now, putting a 2011 London ticket at about 281 GBP, after the “vday” discount.

I Haven’t …

… eaten any significant amount of grain or beans since October 2008. I don’t think I’ve had a single slice of bread since then. I do have plenty of coffee and chocolate though, both of which I think are fantastic in taste and for health, despite being beans.

… shampooed my hair in about a year. I rinse it with hot and then cold water when I shower of course, but never use shampoo or conditioner. I’ll use a tiny bit of body wash if my hair was dirty for some reason, or if I went swimming and it had salt/chlorine soaked into it.

Note: every single time I’ve gotten a hair cut, the stylist has commented on how nice my hair is. With the exception of my hair cut in Sweden. The lady was in a bad mood.

… seen a dentist in many years. Probably three, maybe four. I consistently get comments on how white my teeth are.

… eaten much but fat, mostly saturated, for the past 18 months. People that haven’t seen me…

Rape

As far back as I can remember, I have been at war with the world.

I didn’t always think of it in those terms of course, but never the less — even as far back as four years old – I have vivid memories of standing up to the many, to the bigger, the stronger, the older, the “wiser” — to any individual or group of individuals I believed were acting in the wrong.

The qualities of those who were in the wrong, by my standards — and the quantity of such individuals — was not even a distant thought to me at such times.

All that mattered was my inflexible demand for what was right in those particular situations.

As I age, I feel the need to expand my focus. Those of you who have followed The Dream Lounge and The 21 Convention from their infancy, can attest to this ever broadening expansion of interests.

And now I think I know why. To win my war with the world, by necessity, I have…

2 Spots Left for Next Round of Dream Vitality

Click the image to view full res.

I’m not a salesman, so interpret this as an announcement — not a sales pitch, which I am not capable of.

Dream Vitality is a 12 week coaching program I started back in August. Essentially, over the course of 12 weeks, you and I work to overhaul your exercise, dietary, and other health habits.

You have 12 weeks to pick my brain — mostly via e-mail, and a bit of phone as well.

I have 12 weeks to cram your head with knowledge that’s taken me over 2 years to find, interpret, and understand.

During this time I create a custom workout routine for you — based on available equipment and any specific needs — and provide private demonstration videos when applicable.

I also critique up to 6 video workouts of yours.

Minus videos of you chowing down, the same applies for a nutrition plan. (You’re welcome to send me videos of you eating, but I will not be…

Anthony Robbins

This is a message I received the other day. I think the message as a whole will reverberate what a lot of you are already thinking in your own terms, or have already considered almost verbatim.

Hey Anthony… how’s it going man? I just wanted to let you know I respect the heck out of what you are doing. It’s so needed in this day and age, it’s not even funny. I’m not a fan of all this pickup/seduction community stuff because I know the basis of it is not the solidarity of true, raw masculinity. The 21 Convention with leaders in different areas of life like Doug McGuff, Bill DeSimone, etc. to round it out is visionary thinking from yourself.

I believe nothing would be greater than getting Tony Robbins to speak at your event. I’m sure you have atleast heard of him, he’s powerful, natural, full of integrity and deeply understands polarities in relationships and their roles in life. He came from a destitute background but with being such a force of nature, he’s accomplished so damn much. His programs…

Thoughts on My Grandmother’s Death



My maternal grandmother died at 91 years of age last night. While this is considered a “long” life by conventional standards, I believe she could have lived well over 100 years.

This is aside the point though, because her physiological headroom, as men like Arthur De Vany and Doug McGuff MD discuss from time to time, slowly and agonizingly declined over the last third of her life.

This is not the way humans beings are meant to live. Nor are we meant to die a slow, painful death, with a slowly decomposing quality of life.

Our quality of life should be ever rising, or at the very least (and end), a flat line, that suddenly drops off due to physical injury of some kind.

This was not the case for my grandmother who died barely conscious, with multiple organs failing, a great deal of pain, and more cancer than most would think possible in one person – not to mention diabetes, muscular atrophy, and obesity.

With that said,…

College Bubble Set to Burst in 2011

The following is an excerpt from Inflation.US. See my previous posts on college here and here.

FYI, so far as I am aware, it is nearly impossible to default on student loan debt in our United States — nearly — which is something not often spoken about, but of course, in the tiny fine print.

I’ll be posting my thoughts on that soon enough as well as other thoughts on the collapsing global economy.

The National Inflation Association believes that the United States has a college education bubble that is set to burst beginning in mid-2011. This bursting bubble will have effects that are even more far-reaching than the bursting of the Real Estate bubble in 2006. College education could possibly be the largest scam in U.S. history.

NIA’s advice to the youth of America today is to think for yourselves. Don’t get suckered into overpaying for a college degree that is worthless because everyone else has one. College is only worth attending if you plan on actually learning something there….

Leg Press vs Squat: The Spine Explored

 
I used to squat. Not anymore.

Check out my interview with Bill here and the follow up on Conditioning Research.

There is also a very old interview with Bill from none other than Doug McGuff MD here.
