Tattoos: Self expression or Self mutilation?

For so many years society as a whole would deem any form of poking or cutting yourself with needles or knives as a form of self mutilation. But at some point a transition was slowly made, where now people are encouraged to stretch, pull, pinch, cut, insert or mark up their entire body. In fact there is probably less then a degree of separation between those with body adornments and those with none as proof to how accepted this has become.

 If our body is a "temple", and we are putting constant permanent graffiti on the "walls" as well as opening new or enlarging old holes, then that would definitively be the most unholy of practices.

Is it just self expression or is it in fact a form of self mutilation that has been approved by society?

F-Minus comic in today's paper

I laughed to myself when I saw this. Seems true of so many relationships these days.

Soma Hot Yoga

Me and my wife decided to start a new Youtube channel. It's called Soma Hot Yoga. You can find it here. It's going to start with some videos I took while I was in India. And over time I will be adding more and more full length classes that people can follow along to, including the Baptist style Vinyassa Flow as well as maybe Bikrams 26 postures. Anyways, please visit and subscribe.

Cancer and Pepsi linked??? Noooooo...

This is a gem. Cancer and Pepsi/Coca Cola are linked? Wow, what a surprise. And their solution? To reduce the level of the cancer causing chemical to meet the new requirements? It's still just as likely to give you cancer no matter what they try and do to it....

Wow... There's a video right on the front page when you go here...

I agree with the entire video. The meat industry as it stands is a sickness


 But anyone who makes a video like that should not be taking ANY pharmaceuticals in my opinion, I can bet most of PETA is ok with Pharma companies, which hurt, and have hurt animals equally, if not more than the CURRENT meat industry. So if you agree with PETA and this video, than you should NEVER touch ANYTHING from a Pharmaceutical company or any subsidiary of them.

Acetaminophen raises Asthma risks!

I found this article in the Calgary Herald Nov 24th 2011. I cut it out right away because I knew articles such as this won't make it to press a second time, especially if Johnson&Johnson have their way.

An Ohio doctor is warning people of medical studies linking rising/worsening rates of asthma to acetaminophen use. Actually it's interesting because in the 1980s doctors were urging people to stop taking aspirin because of the risk of developing Reye syndrome, which can be life threatening. So since then most people started giving their children acetaminophen. Over the past 30 years researchers couldn't figure out why asthma rates were always rising at an alarming rate. A study published in a British medical journal Lancet found six to seven year olds were 1.6 times more likely to develop asthma if they took acetaminophen more then once per year but less than once per month. For those that took the medicine at least once a month, the risk was triple. Here is the original article in all it's glory;
