I got back into the good ol’ U. S. of A. yesterday evening after spending a nice chunk of the week in Shanghai, China. It’s my second trip to China and first time Shanghai, a city which a friend of mine described as “China’s Paris”. Now, while I didn’t get to see anything in the [...]

I’ve never seen the movie “Network“, but I’ve seen the pivotal scene from the film more than a few times and I was drawn to finding it today on YouTube. If you’ve never seen it, here it is: But what was it that brought me to this? This is seemingly the 3rd post that jumps [...]
Golf is a delightful game. Sure, it’s completely maddening and harder than almost any other sport I can think of, but when approach with a good attitude, it is treeeemendous. And yes, that’s how I am spelling that word right now. You want to spell it differently? Start your own snappy blog but on this [...]
It’s probably not surprising that I enjoy a very well-done inspiration speech. Certain people who truly have the gift - whether by virtue of being blessed by the gods of Olympus from birth or through, careful, meticulous practice over time – really capture my attention. The ability to move inspire people to do more and be [...]
Many Steps Back
Apr 1
It’s a pretty common refrain to speak of taking a step back to make two steps forward. It’s not a bad thought – every now and again we probably need to take stock, reset where we are on something in our lives and then let that step back lead to even better progress than when we started. [...]

Fired up a video yesterday when a flash of inspiration struck… plus I was in a shirt and tie and felt I owed it to y’all to not look like an utter slob in every single piece of media that ends up on this blog (such as this fine sample here). You’re welcome, friends. Also, [...]

I just don’t have any time to… Eat better/cook at home Read more Go to the gym Go church/pray/meditate/think Spend more time with my family/friends/alpaca herd Finish that [...]
If you were to research the heaviest deadlift ever performed in a powerlifting competition, you would come across a lift of 1,015 lbs by Benedikt Magnusson from Iceland on April 2, 2011. In fact, our good friends at YouTube even have a video of the momentous occasion by this mountain of a man: Sweet. Mother. [...]
In The Grind
Jan 5
I’ve known a few different people in my life who have been stuck in health situations you wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Situations that would make even the most stouthearted people you’ve known droop their heads in despair. There is nothing pretty, glamorous or glitzy to be found for someone pushing through those kinds of life [...]
Competition with Balance
Dec 4
I am, by nature, a somewhat competitive person. I don’t care too much for losing (few do), but I find that where I care more is about the showing up and actually competing. If I go out and give my best or if my team goes out and leaves it all out on the field, [...]
