Against Amnesia
There are moments when life seems entirely impossible. All the crazy dreams of rebellion disappear. The desire to revolt against the society of the civilized is lost to futility, the open but empty hand. All of the late-night laughter filled conversations, the meanderings and wanderings of those intoxicated with thoughts of adventure, begin to seem naive and empty. One comes to the conclusion that one is accomplishing nothing: destruction and creation seem equally without attraction. One abandons one’s own imagination and returns to the old trap of fear. The existential idiot occupies one’s head.
Here is the point where the misery of this society completes itself. This society strengthens itself by continually forcing the individual to disappear: the individual disappears when the individual gives in to the misery of this society. One begins to accept the limitations imposed by this society as one’s own. To experience comes to mean to repeat oneself. One begins to feel one has nothing to offer in defiance, nothing to give: every gesture becomes a blank stare. Passion is pacified. Desire is rationalized away. The forbidden remain forbidden.

Hours Unclocked
Your alarm rings, your eyes rapidly open as you gaze around trying to find the snooze button. You get up slowly and rub your eyes; you didn’t get to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning because you were too busy enjoying your time away from work. The measly 4-5 hours you get from [...]
Creativity
If I can define creativity in one sentence, it would be that creativity is the ability to create something that is both novel and useful. There are no thoughts that are purely original…all creative thoughts are built upon previous ones. This is why the Romantic image of the creative genius coming up with brilliant works [...]
A Mental Approach To Training
A lot of people ask me about vertical jump training and want me to provide them with the exact same weight training/plyometric programs that I had used in the past to achieve a 40-inch vertical.
