Today was my first run in a while after having bicycled a lot recently. During my run this afternoon I was very aware of how the bicycling has improved my running kinesthetics. In particular, it seems that bicycling up inclines is very helpful. When bicycling up a grade it causes you to exert more power…

Why is an infusion of leaves of the Camelia sinensis plant so good? I know this is a rhetorical question, but have you ever had a sip of tea – it may be tea that was brewed hours ago and was just sitting in a cup at room temperature – and it just felt like…

Divinity the reality is tied to life. Even if a being walked up in front of you and you knew it was a divinity that doesn’t mean it is still not an abstraction. Divinity the reality is in your memory, not your cognition. What you yearn for is not an abstraction, but a reality. The…

I’m just going to come out and say this: Caucasian curly hair and African hair are completely different.  Any website, forum, or product line which attempts to market to both is either incompetent or else greedy.

If I’m too embarrassed to go out and workout outdoors because I’m fat, bloated, or whatever then I’ll never go out. I’m a creature of Earth. I love my body. I cherish it, no matter what. Some days I may feel less than 100%. My body may be disrupted from stress, poor sleep, constipation, or…
