Prologue Teaser For My Upcoming Book

All I could smell was her hair… Burning.
The exact events of that day are but a distant echo, the last remnants of the girl that I once was. But that last memory of her will be emblazoned in my memory for an eternity. The way that her pristine white dress, which seemed to almost give off an ethereal glow of warmth, crumbled to blackened ashes to match the remains of the place that I once called home. 
Home. That word almost seems humorous to me now, but back then… It almost seemed like it really meant something. I know better now. There is no home. Not for people like me, anyway. Not for people like us. 
Attachments like that make us weak, unfit to survive in the cold world that I couldn’t bear to fathom back then. After all, I was only a girl. Eight years under my belt, but even that is far too long to be sheltered from the truth. 
I know that I should feel grateful for such a revelation, but I must admit that, at times, I feel regret for my actions. Not for disposing of the traitor, mind you, but for abandoning the one closest to me. My infant sister.
She was but a newborn back then, helpless and alone in the pool of blood that we left behind. So innocent, so pure… And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to save her.
That is the source of my conflicting emotions. My regret for my inaction. She was my sister, after all, and yet I abandoned her. Left her to fade away into the ashes, along with the traitor that attempted to take her away from me.  
Was it all for naught? I still ask myself that question to this very day. Whether I could save her from the fate, worse than death, that had befallen her. To be entrusted to the very people that sought our destruction. Our sworn enemies from birth. 
Perhaps I was at fault, but can you really say that you wouldn’t do the same? A wildfire raging all around, consuming flesh and material alike in an indiscriminate inquisition… Would you not seek shelter?
Instinct is a powerful thing, and by her blessing, I have learned to embrace it. As such, I ran. Escaped the nightmare that was my life back then, only to stumble upon the bliss of freedom, granted to us by the Maiden.
Fear, hate, angst… All emotions were cleansed from my being upon meeting her. The maiden in white, lying in wait for me on the outskirts of the forest. Allowing me to fall into her heavenly embrace. Alone, scared, and without any attachments to the mortal world around us.
It was in that moment that I embraced who I really was. Letting free all of the emotions that I had been taught to suppress for all of my life up until that point. Embracing the entirety of my gifted soul. 
Some things are best forgotten

Just What is Gross Gamer Fitness?

At first glance, the title itself may raise some red flags. "Gross?" you may cry, holding up your nose in astonishment. After all, long-gone are the days of public school where such words were lauded as badges of honor! Heck, some of you may even still cling to the only stereotype of the "gross" fat nerd living in his parent's basements playing games like World of Warcraft, but man oh man! Do I have some surprises in store for you, dear reader! Much like any good story, a great introduction to a blog begins with one thing above all else: honesty. This does not necessarily mean the kind of honesty that can be neither proven nor disproven in the court of law, but rather a kind of justice heralded by those who have suffered, have triumphed, and have lived the tales themselves. As such, the information which I am about to divulge unto you, dear readers, is not one of 100% factual evidence, at least by the standards of some imaginary lawyer named Chad (because th...

How to Shred Body Fat, Burn Calories, and Build Overall fitness with this NEAT Trick

No, the word NEAT is not capitalized because I'm trying to be all cool and cynical with those lame ads going around. Rather, it's an acronym for a quite amazing tool when it comes to a fit lifestyle, Non-Exercise Associated Thermogenesis. Basically, this means that it's a term made up on the spot to account for all the activity you accrue, all the calories that you burn throughout the day, without specifically trying to through traditional forms of exercise. Ever notice how some of the leanest people you've ever met tend to be the fidgety, restless types? Never wanting to sit down, always tapping their feet... Hell, that las one really adds up in terms of calorie burn over the years. Turns out it isn't just some sort of genetic blessing or overactive thyroid, after all. And that's one of the biggest aspects of all of this that people to consider: the long-term factor to fitness, and especially weight gain/loss. Sure, maybe you're only burning a few ext...

Got Hypertension? Want Antioxidants? Get Yourself Some Hibiscus

Most of you have probably heard the name before, and perhaps you've even tasted this tangy tea for yourself on occasion, but as it turns out, there's far more to this purple-hued tea than good taste (YMMV). Remember how green tea has been, and is still touted as one of the absolute best sources of antioxidants in the human diet, providing a whole host of health benefits including  decreased fat mass, lower cholesterol, increased blood flow,  and what was touted to be the most powerful antioxidant punch amongst all the teas out there? Well, as it turns out,  hibiscus tea actually beats out green tea in this regard by quite a bit.  More than that, this particular type of tea appears to be beneficial in ways that go far beyond the realm of antioxidants, and actually rival some pharmaceutical medicines in both power and potency! The potential for hibiscus to lower blood pressure is on-par with some pharmaceutical medications, while also providing the amazing bene...
