Future Posting

So, I believe I’m going to try something new with my next round of posting. I’ve got a list of 100 blog concepts I pull from. Many of them are health related, talking about diets, or exercise plans or orthorexia. Others are more specific or quirky, a cowboy blog, a robot science fiction blog, a blog with haikus or lymricks, even a blog with fake resumes. There are several blogs which are just rants, opened ended forums for me to say whatever comes to mind, though each one usually has a particular style (angsty teen, ditsy house wife, william s. burroughs). Finally some of my blogs are short stories, and I just continue the story where I left off each week.

Well, I’ve decided to take a break from that (search people, aha!). For the next round I’ve decided to write a whole book. I realize I’ve probably logged close to a thousand pages blogging, maybe even more. It’s all basically nonsense (though some very well written nonsense), and its read by less than a handful of people. Probably less than 100 people have visited all my blogs total, though I did get a few comments on my “awful moral lessons” blog. So, I’m going to start a novel with my next round. I’m thinking of making it an epistillary novel, but it might just be a simple children’s book.

Ideally I’d like to link from one post to the next, so someone could theoretically follow all the posts in order to read the story, but that’s a bit ambitious. Here the template though.

This is part of the (FILL IN THE BLANK) saga. To begin the saga, start here(hyperlinked). The saga continues here(hyperlinked).

The only tricky thing is, it’s the same sentence spread throughout all my blog posts which might be a little risky for the whole google thing, but what the hey, it may be worth it.

Primal Nutrition for Less

I’ve been taking up an interest in this new primal blueprint lifestyle I’ve been hearing so much about. It is based off the primal nutrition method of using man’s genetic blueprint as a guide to health, diet, and exercise choices.  Some of the guidelines for primal nutrition are simple, like eating meats and vegetables in plentiful amounts (fuck you, vegetarians!). Other principles are a little more involving, like the idea of walking bare foot, and utilizing a 0 carb diet. 0 carbs is hard for a man who includes Starbucks among his social necessities.

Anyway, there’s not too much research out there about this primal lifestyle, but I feel opportunistic. I tried the southbeach diet, I tried the muscle-man workout routine, now I’m ready to try something that just might be a little more natural.

I should also mention that the primal blueprint stresses the benefits of vitamins as integral to a part of healthy living. Getting good supplementation is key, and regulating a micronutrient balance is essential to fulfilling a primal lifestyle. I’ve been trying different vitamin supplements recently, looking for one that is ideal for me. I’ll update this blog as I research further and discover the true path of the primal man.

Cheerio.
