The Northern 📍

  New Slaves.      How is it that we, a society of so-called intelligent beings, cannot see through the veil? How is it that we are constantly being hood-winked, by those who rule above us? And how is it, that we, the most advanced civilization ever recorded to date, cannot figure out that we are enslaved?      What bothers me the most is not that some cannot figure it out. In fact, most people probably are completely unaware of it. They simply run around, with no thoughts inside their heads, picturing butterflies and rainbows all around them. They are completely lost and delusional, living in a fantasy world. Which would pretty much explain the current state of things, and the trend that which we are headed towards. The insane belief that life is amazing and things are fantastic, while the rest of the world begins to crash and burn. Absolutely brainwashed, sucked into their black screens, starring at mind-numbing videos and content to make them forget...

  Leap Day, Leap Year.      Yesterday, I lost power at my place. A storm rolled through the neighbourhood and knocked us off the power grid for most of the day.      I’ve experienced not having power before, and honestly it’s never really bothered me too much. However, losing power in the dead of winter, when it’s freezing cold outside- sucked. I was unable to perform any of my regular tasks, missing my workouts. No access to heat, water or internet made things challenging to say the least. Regardless, life waits for nobody. I had to find a way forward.      What transpired yesterday can be called an unexpected day off. A day, where I took time to truly sit back and reflect on it all.

I can’t even tell you how long it’s been.        O...

     Another Day, Another Dollar.      Another Week, Another Buck. We made it thru another 7 days of torture, to finally see the sun rise again. What a journey it’s been, let me tell you.      By now, the pattern seems to suggest that Sunday’s are for reflection. Taking time out of your day, to look back on the week that was. To analyze all that you’ve done, and to understand what else there is to do. To celebrate, to ponder, and to plan. The reality is, we’re all in this together- and the journey ain’t over just yet. The marathon continues- so you better have your shoes tied up tight.      Most of the week seems to fly by, when you look at it in the rearview mirror. I suppose that is the gift of hindsight, 20/20 vision. The reality is, when you’re stuck within it- things can be a never-ending battle. At least, that is how it feels most of the time. All the workouts, the cardio, the dieting, the chipping and grinding away at do...
