The power of a personal mantra.

by

It's the holiday season. It's misfit moving season. Im doing ok. Im actually---dare I say it type it out loud---doing pretty damn great. I credit 93.7 % of that to my person mantra. You may think me crazy should you spy me muttering to myself on the street---but I reassure you Im not (any more than usual anyway). Im chanting.  Im harnessing the power of the mantra. Im ...

A day in the life of a misfit

by

First off, my life is very boring remarkably sedate. *I* love it, sure, but the mere telling of my day may be enough to put you early morning blog readers *back* to sleep. That's precisely the reason Ive ignored you Ive taken so long to respond to yer queries of: what's a typical day like for you? I think I'd love to work from home! And yet, in these waning days of my ATX routine, I ... Continue Reading

My tattoo stories.

by

This post has nothing to do with fitness, yet in the sense of fitness being our bodies it almost does (right?). And in the sense of you (the royal. I realize many of you could not care less) ask me frequently about the stories behind my art this post kind of fits.  Sort of.  It (waitforit) misfits.   When people ask about my tattoos (why did you get them? do they mean anything? will you ...

The mail today took my breath away.

by

Im not a mid-day blogger. I do that thing where you have your posts set to publish the same time each day so readers grow to expect it. This didnt happen due to a 75-prong targeted branding plan----it all happened by accident---but once it started I figured Id leave it that way. 3am central my posts all go live. Except the ones which dont. It's days like today when I realize more ... Continue Reading

Feeding on my love for pleasure (guest post).

by

We all know sex (which plays into family) and food bring about the most pleasure in life. But how else do we activate that "feel good" part of the brain? I'd much rather be strung out on a natural high than in the slumps so I guess the real question is how do we hold onto this feeling all day long? Exercise doesn't have to be grueling. Sure it's taxing on the body, but in the process you're ... Continue Reading
