"What if, some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!' Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.'"

— Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, with a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

My blog is about words, in all their permutations. Some common themes are literature, books, girls reading books, milk, anthropology, mythology, kettlebells, rowing, strength training, pin-up girls, ancient ephemera, the human condition, and assorted things that happen to me in the course of the day. It's not as quick and dirty as most things on tumblr, but rather more long-form in nature. As for me, I like my martinis dirty, my water clean, and my food with extra bacon. I was self-employed for a while, but I didn't pay myself very well, so I ended up quitting that gig. I think I came out about even though. I am attempting to write, about the interplay between mythos, logos, and modern life (note the Oxford comma). I follow an evolutionary nutritional paradigm based on the writings of Weston Price, and I train primarily with hardstyle kettlebells. Also, I run with my dog (a sweetheart pit bull) in and around the urban decay of central New Orleans, when she lets me catch up with her, that is.

Please check out my other blog: Fuck Yeah Athletic Girls!

Here are some links that relate to strength training and evolutionary health:

“Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.”
