When anyone has a predisposition to any illness, biochemical or otherwise, prevention is always better than cure. For example, wise people with a genetic predisposition to heart disease take preventative measures in their life, exercising regularly and avoiding certain foods. The same concept, although often neglected, can be applied by [...]

Is Rock Dead? When I think back to bands I would love to see live or eras I’d like to go back to experience the music, the last ten years never enters my mind. In fact, when I think of the state of Rock music today, It seems like some post-apocalyptic world with only a few remaining survivors from times gone by. The last remaining icons [...]

Why are my friends so depressed? Why am I so depressed? Why the fuck is everyone so sad? It seems everywhere I turn these days I encounter another tortured soul.

The fact that we are all dying is something us in the west refuse to address. We pretend it’s not there, distracting ourselves with superfluous things and hoping it will go away.

Aside from lifting, reading, eating and talking, listening to music is one of my greatest passions in life. I see it as a very personal and private passion that I share (usually) with only my subconscious and conscious mind – and a few likeminded friends.

The question ”why?” lies at the core of modern mans evolution. It lies in the minds of all children as they come to realise more about the mysterious world in which they find themselves. It lies at the front of the minds of all the greatest thinkers and scientists of our time. Humans are the only species on this blue planet, [...]

As I mentioned before there are some quotes that stick with you in life. I guess the depth and breadth in which a quote can be understood really depends on the capabilities of the individual perceiving it, too. Last post I mentioned the importance of persistence and grit – consistently pushing forward to chip away at bad habits and [...]
