Blog Upkeep

Several upcoming things on the agenda:

  1. New theme for this blog once I finish designing it
  2. Clearing out old posts
  3. Higher quality posts
  4. More frequent posting

These are listed in order so there won’t be anything new going on until I get the new theme pumped out. Once I have a new look for the site I’ll be delving into the content more.

“If some men do not choose to think, but survive by imitating and repeating, like trained animals, the routine of sounds and motions they learned from others, never making an effort to understand their own work, it still remains true that their survival is made possible only by those who did choose to think and to discover the motions they are repeating. The survival of such mental parasites depends on blind chance; their unfocused minds are unable to know whom to imitate, whose motions it is safe to follow. They are the men who march into the abyss, trailing after any destroyer who promises them to assume the responsibility they evade: the responsibility of being conscious.”

My Primal Success Story–Submitted to MDA

I just emailed Mark my Primal success story and wanted to share it on this site. If I happen to be published on MDA I will let you all know, but as of right now, I just wanted to get my story out there to my readers :) This is also the first time I’ve ever put a picture of myself up on this site. I plan to put a good picture of me up once I’ve gotten a hold of a better camera and someone to take my picture haha.
