I know a Murderer. A few actually and will write about that in a few days. But did you know that when we speak a certain way, we are in a sense, murdering other people?
Fancy James is My Name… to some
In 2007, I weighed 270 pounds. At 6’1′, that was not good weight. It was natural to be that large being I spent the majority of my time with young adults eating their food without their metabolism. It was the nature of the work, I guess. Without getting into the weeds of my point, when…

Poop is Organic
Just because something is organic doesn’t make it worthy to eat. Poop is organic. When Robyn and I were in our twenties, we felt like organic things were not just healthy, we also felt they were essential to life. We were lied to and so were you. It happens often but we don’t realize it….
