a life of crime

May 2, 2007

Shoplifting. It’s not the worst crime in the world, but as a lifestyle choice, it sucks ass pretty hard. Here, in his own words, is what the life of a professional shoplifter looks like. I am not your typical shoplifter. I look respectable. I dress cleanly and smartly, wear glasses and am in my early 40s. […]

exercise vs diet: the mindset

April 30, 2007

8

If you scan the magazine racks these days, you’ll see the word DIET a lot more than you’ll see the word EXERCISE, and that’s not because we’re consonant-rationing. Our society is currently in a diet restriction mentality, rather than a physical challenge mentality, something a number of sociologists have tied to cultures experiencing simultaneous affluence and insecurity.

I’m not sure if this means anything, or if it does, what it does. But it sure is cool. Behold Le Grand Content, a video comment on the pathetic reduction of human thought to bullet points that will fit in Powerpoint. Is this what we’ve become? Or is this, in fact, everything? :: :: :: :: […]

worrying 101

April 25, 2007

Here’s a nifty suggestion I stole from Self magazine, November 2004. Worriers spend a great deal of time worrying throughout the day, often re-worrying the same worry they’ve already worried earlier. This is inevitable, but exhausting and unproductive as well as rather dull. Suzanne C. Segerstrom PhD of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, suggests that every […]

affirmations for health

April 24, 2007

2

Let’s be honest: affirmations are foofy, West Coast mantras that make people nervous. But they just might work. Give them a go and see if they work for you, foofy or not. After all, your bathroom mirror won’t tell on you. Recite the affirmation that you prefer to yourself in the mirror each morning, before you’ve […]
