Addicted To Sweating

Go for it. Take a shot at the big time. If you realize how powerful your thoughts are, you will never have a negative thought again. The invisible forces that drive every thought you think and emotion you feel are the habitual patterns of action that shape your life. Can we change habits? Yes, with INTENTION and ENERGY. We can train ourselves to generate energy it takes to create a new set of actions–and with repetition, like building a quadricep, these emotions become your new, consciously designed habits that produce the results you're after. When we create the right set of habits we become more efficient so that we have more energy for all the things that matter.  

Goldie Turns Eight

An amazing vibrant boy filled with exuberance, positivity, curiosity, compassion, a sense for fairness, and high-energy. As he heads towards eleven, i will at some point start looking for an elite prep school for him including Ridley College, Upper Canada College, Brentwood College School, and a few in the USA. I am so proud of him.

Sparkling With Energy

The gym is the perfect place for modernizing your self. Your self-discipline will determine the results and it is an excellent way to detach yourself from pressures of work and family life. The Greeks would use gymnasia as places to escape to, usually on the outskirts of a city, to engage not only in exercise but philosophical conversation. 

I indulge in my anti-aging cream with a gym membership, but i go there to sweat, not to socialize. Reaching early before sunrise at 5:00 am, i sweat for 2+ hours compulsively each workday training on the Concept II ergometer with a 7600-7700 meters pull in :30 minutes at rate 32-34, next is the notorious 7-mile uphill tempo run on the treadmill modulating the pace up every 5 minutes for :60 minutes, followed by endurance weight training for strengthening quads, back, shoulders and gluteus maximus. Finally, i stretch my limbs in my cool down session and drink some water while leaving the gym with a 100% full-charge of energy and self-confidence.

Health is wealth people. Those of us who grew up wearing uniforms in boarding schools still prefer to look the part of an athletic, sophisticated, upper-class man with wanderlust in his eyes. Rather than dress like a slob, i enjoy wearing colorful clothes that actually fit my physique with swagger and style. 

Listening Brings Truth

Listen to your life as it whispers to you. How often do we listen to ourselves? That small voice that speaks the truth. And if we did, what might we learn? Where might it lead us?

 

Renaissance Nude At The Getty

The nude–the unclothed or partially clothed human body–has been featured in European art for millennia. After 1400, with the waning of the Middle Ages, artists depicted nudes as increasingly three-dimensional, vibrant and lifelike to be more immediate and real. Both in Italy and in Northern Europe the refinements to the technique of painting in oils that enabled painters to capture textures–of flesh, of hair, of the sparkle in the eye–with unprecedented truth to nature.

The meaningful depiction of the human form became the highest aspiration for artists and their efforts often resulted in figures of notable sensuality. For Christians, however–who represented most of European society at the time–the nude body could be disturbing, arousing personal desire. Their conflicted responses are mirrored in our own body-obsessed era, filled with imagery of nudity.

The Renaissance Nude at the Getty in LA examines the developments that elevated the nude to a pivotal role in art between 1400 and 1530. Organized thematically, the exhibition juxtaposes works in different media and from different regions of Europe to demonstrate that depictions of the nude expressing a range of formal ideals while also embodying a wide range of body types, physical conditions and meanings.
