these diets are too extreme… they are unhealthy and unnatural… you deny your body a ton of necessary nutrients…

it seems less like of a cleanse and more like a money-making strategy motivated by fear… telling people they need to get rid of all the toxins in their bodies by depriving it of important nutrients is weird… that sounds unhealthy, if anything… telling people that they are cleansing their internal organs is plain wrong…

you can never fully cleanse your body, yo! you consume toxins in more ways than just the food you eat… these cleansing companies fail to mention that when you inhale some “fresh air”, a ton of toxins are put into your system… unless you breathe through a filter, you’ll never be cleansed…

don’t get tricked into a cleansing diet… instead, eat right… that’ll help your body just fine… we live in a polluted place… escaping the pollution takes more extreme measures than consuming raw veggies and lemon water…

save yourself the money and suffering… we all end up in the same place anyway… enjoy everyday…

peace and noLove…

i understand that animals need to be killed in order to eat the meat they provide… i believe and know there are humane ways to go about this… the problem is that humanity is ignored in these factory farms… these factory farms not only raise the animals they are killing, but they give them life… there is nothing natural about these operations… we are powerful and smart creatures… we have shown that we can dominate the planet (and slowly destroy it)… can we not find a way to radically change the way we distribute food in the US? not many other countries operate in this fashion…

we need to continue to make people (and especially our youth) aware of the way food makes it into our bellies… it is not as simple as it seems… in the food industry, knowledge is power… with the interrogation of High Fructose Corn Syrup, there have been radical changes to this part of the industry… “throwback” real sugar soda, real ketchup, and packaging notices have all come about… people do have a bit of power in what they eat… the business men that run the food industry (not farmers) need to make their cash, so if we change how and what we eat so they will change too… they love money…

i posted a video below that affected me… it really makes you think twice about what you eat, buy, and support… i found myself at the grocery store the other day not knowing what to do… feeling a bit sick to my stomach… then realizing that everything that would be “ok” to get is mega pricey… we have to demand a change in this industry…

food is not a business… food is a way to perpetuate life… shame on the people who exploit it.

peace and noLove…

i have a lot of support and people to lean on which is gonna help me get through this tough time… but you can’t only rely on support… that is why it is called “support”… you gotta be self-motivated… you gotta find something and someway to fight through tough times…

noLove keeps me inspired… it motivates me to keep going whenever i wanna give up… i would never give up on skateboarding, so i use this same theory for other facets of life… do it for noLove…

the reality we live in can bring you down… your support group has to keep you afloat… your passion needs to keep you inspired… and you need to do it for noLove…

chin up and heart beating… things are good…

peace and noLove…

i have always respected the skateboard… it’s a treacherous invention… you lose your focus or stop thinking while you are on one for a split second, you will find yourself in pain on the ground…

my recent experience with this lesson was skating drunk at the end of the day… the rain started falling after a street filled saturday… we found shelter and a spot in a parking lot… we were just messing around grinding painted curbs… i was getting psyched on the session… i lost my composure and hit a crack… not knowing my board was no longer under my feet, i continued pushing… i quickly found myself flying through the air and sliding on the ground… my thigh and elbow were instantly destroyed…

it has been two weeks since the mega push bail… i am nowhere near healed up but i can skate…

i cannot help but reflect on this bail… pushing? you can get this hurt by pushing? we were skating some big spots that day with way more injury-potential… but pushing drunk takes me out… go figure… right?

never take your health for granted… always respect the skateboard…

peace and noLove…
