Now before I go any further in this, for those of you reading who are not from Poplar Bluff, we have an almost comical amount of Mexican restaurants... So here is my plea. Please, one of you, start a traditional/bizarre food movement.

Zen is Upon Me
Well, not really. I have completed my seven-day intro, continuing my normal day to day routine of eating and lack of movement. I have also completed my 30 days of trying to turn my life around, to include giving meditation a fair shot and some serious time, cutting back on eating every Little Debbie cake … Continue reading Zen is Upon Me
37 Days to Zen – 1 is a Lonely Number
When I wake up in the morning, I will be one day closer than I was a month ago. And with my back feeling much better, I will be one day closer to exercising again. Now that I am a professional reader I have started two books at once. Surfing the Himalaya's by Frederick Lenz … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 1 is a Lonely Number
37 Days to Zen – 2 Left
Two days left until I have my answer. The question: Is it possible for me to find Zen in 30 Days? Unless I bump into some guy named Zen in the corner store in the next few days, I will assume the answer is no. I do feel better though, minus my back from the … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 2 Left
37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included
With three days left to find true Zen, it might be impossible. Especially since I am about four days late with this post. Unfortunately, I fell four feet backward off a trailer, striking asphalt, which unbelievably has very little give to it. I hopped up quickly, walked it off, and figured I would just be … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 3 days left… Broken Back Included
37 Days to Zen – 4 Days Left
Four days to go, or should I say four years to go... It will be like a walk up the side of a mountain in Nepal, barefoot, in the snow, with no Sherpa...carrying enough food to feed the rest of the monastery. And pulling a dead horse. But it will be worth it. Food intake … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 4 Days Left
37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go
I remember a month ago I was typing out however many days to death. Or days to a heart attack, or stroke. I do feel better. I know I have said that over and over the last week's worth of posts, but I do. I am calmer. I am a little happier. Maybe not even … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 5 to Go
37 Days to Zen – 6 to Go
Six days to go until I am sitting at the top of a mountain... All because I bit into a York Peppermint Patty. It won't be Zen, but I am 31 days closer. I am much closer to Zen than I was more than a month ago. I know what I want. It's not a … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 6 to Go
37 Days to Zen – The Final Week
A week out of total and complete Zen, and I find myself searching even more. Searching for wisdom. Searching for peace. Searching for knowledge. Searching for total Zen. I woke up this morning and downed a few pieces of sausage for breakfast, washing it down with some ice cold orange juice. Lunch was a cheat, … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – The Final Week
37 Days to Zen – 8 to Go
Eight days until Zen hits me square in the face, either that or reality. I have been swamped for the past few days dealing with family issues and haven't been able to blog, but hopefully, I can find time over the next week to continue this until the end. I am still watching what I … Continue reading 37 Days to Zen – 8 to Go
