#PrimalChat
Last night some of the people I follow on Twitter had a “chat” of sorts on the primal lifestyle. A few questions were posed and much fun was had. One of the questions was “how you got primal?” Amidst the chaos and bound by the 140 character limit I opted out of answering. Here goes.
I have never been a gym person or one who exercised and I always ate what I wanted. I...

#VFF My Piggies Miss You
I scored a pair of KSO Five Fingers Saturday. I pretty much wore them the rest of the weekend. Monday rolls around and I have to go “normal” with the footwear and let me say it feels as if I have concrete shoes and I am drowning. I want my #VFF, my feet need to go commando.
Many posts on the web tell tales of public outcry and ridicule and curiosity. I experienced none of these. If I...

Fasting
Some of the Primal Blueprint suggests fasting every so often. I decide to try to work one in a week. Grok may have had more. Yes you feel empty and getting around food really activates, pardon the pun, primal response. Mouth watering, nostril flaring, and generally a higher sense of awareness. Nothing close to like xray vision but I swear I thought I could smell what others had eaten earlier. The...

1: “You may be right, but here’s how I see it…”
2: “Tell me what’s working and what’s not working.”
3: “What do you think we should be doing differently?”
4: “Give it to me straight; no BS.”
5: “Please don’t tell me what __ thinks; I’d like to know what you think.”
6: “What does your gut tell you?”
7: “How can I help you?”
8: “That may be true, but look at it this way… ”
9: “Don’t worry;...

Good advice and I’m glad I’m not the only one fed up with FB.

FML. Not only do I get charged with developing a security matrix (which interests deeply as it serves my paranoia) for our department I have the pleasure of doing it with the biggest bunch of buck passers I have seen in my life. Their default response to damn near any thing that involves thinking outside their fucking desk is “That’s not in my job description.” This is the same...

Little Boost
Since I converted myself to a primal lifestyle some of my co-workers have questions and some are curious and some want to try it. To get moving you have to shed the baggage of the word diet. It is so loaded with so much mainstream garbage it can be tough to get past it. It can be hard to understand that there isn’t a plan to buy or books to memorize. It can’t be that simple, can it? It...

Really? It matters that much?
A friend of mine was getting beat up for choosing an Android phone over the iPhone. Seriously? Five minutes with each shows that they are very much equal regarding capabilities. It really sucks we can’t think for ourselves anymore. We can’t have an opinion outside the norm anymore. It feels like those body snatcher movies where once the (i)Pod people see you have a Zune they all...

Five Finger
I’m not a shoe person but I like a good pair of kicks. Lately as my strength returns and the days get longer and I get further down the primal way of living. I keep coming across these.
I frakking want a pair. Seriously on nearly all my off days I’m shoeless anyways. Flip flops maybe unless we go somewhere requiring shoes.
I remember as a child getting out for the Summer break and...

To Mass Effect 2 or not? My 360 sounds like a jet when it’s on. This alone has kept me on the PS3.

iDon'tCare
My take on the iPad, late it may be but anyways. It appears to me that Apple is weening us up instead of out. In a few short years they will invent the laptop or desktop and smoke and mirror that shit to everyone. They’ve done an outstanding job putting an i in front every peripheral out there and selling a ton but yet the big ticket (Macbooks etc) item lacks market share. I appreciate...

I’ve been following this since November. Initially to lose a few pounds. It has become so much more. The education I’ve gotten on industrialized foods is a real perspective changer.

2010. Go.
2010 is a very interesting year. It will be the first year in my turn on this rock that I have set goals and documented the starting points for these goals. Very Doogie Howser.
