“Happy New Years!!” we all screamed as the clock struck midnight on New Years Eve. It was 2012 and we all had to celebrate.

The other day I witnessed a miracle. I watched the documentary Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days. I saw six with people with diabetes completely cure themselves of their disease.

This is my second attempt at trying to pump out 100 push-ups in one sitting. I tried a several months ago and realized that I was going about it all wrong. I was trying to max out every single day for a month. This month I’ll be trying a new approach. I got a chance [...]
If you ever had the privilege of living on a Navy ship, then you’ll understand the joys of trying to dry your towel in a berthing. The space is basically dark 24 hours a day with little ventilation and no sunlight. This creates less than ideal conditions for drying towels. After a while, your towel [...]
We all have our guilty pleasures. Some people are really into buying CD’s. Others are avid movie collectors. I love to read and I love books. Recently, I’ve really been into downloading e-books on my iPod Kindle app. It’s amazing. You can find something you’re interested in reading, buy it and within minutes it’s on [...]
