Scientific Aesthetic

I have never been much of a picky shopper when it came to shoes. When I was a child I always wanted to get the "popular" shoes but never got anything overpriced as that was just outrageous and not to be considered. In the last few years this has translated into my only buying shoes from such places as Zappos and warehouse store locations, never paying more than one hundred dollars for a pair of shoes. I certainly did not think that I would ever buy a pair of shoes based on an e-mail message from a record store.

We are known for our monkey love and for our Lucy love; but yesterday the University of Southern California Davis School of Gerontology revealed the reason we are able to outlive our ape relatives:  We have a meat-adaptive gene and they do not.

When you think of the word apprentice, what comes to mind? For me, sadly, the first thing that comes is the image of Donald Trump telling some celebrity that they are fired in an obnoxious tone.

Teenagers were sent to learn a particular trade -- they could spend a good number of years learning how to be a proper blacksmith, or a shoemaker, for example.

On November 15th, I started a new workout program called RevAbs. It's not that I was unhappy with my morning workout per se, I just wanted to invest a solid three months into a structured workout regime -- moreover, I specifically wanted to target an area of my body that I felt had been really hit hard by poor diet and lack of physical activity for the majority of the time that I lived in Seattle -- my abdominal area. What better workout program to use than something called RevAbs -- right?

We used to think breath was the sign of life -- and while that may be true in real life -- online, your life is found in your eyes. I know you have no idea what I'm talking about, so go to -- MP Change -- and look at the lifelike image.  The eyes are alive and stalking you!

If you get into music full-bore to make up for 20 years of lost time, your effort quickly begins to ascend into the monetary stratosphere as costs pile up to bowl you over in that everlasting and neverending chase for "that sound."  The latest example of my overweening ear interest is demonstrated in my new obsession with Evidence Audio amp, speaker and guitar cables.  This is my story.
