“American culture is no longer created by the people... A free, authentic life is no longer possible in AmericaTM today. We are being manipulated in the most insidious way. Our emotions, personalities and core values are under siege from media and cultural forces too complex to decode. A continuous product message has woven itself into the very fabric of our existence. Most North Americans now live designer lives-sleep, eat, sit in car, work, shop, watch TV, sleep again. I doubt there's more than a handful of free, spontaneous minutes anywhere in that cycle.

“I realize this is blasphemy, but a few weeks ago I tried to watch a NASCAR race being run at Talladega. I lasted about five minutes before terminal boredom overtook me. It appeared to be nothing more than a high-speed freeway commute--a mob of luridly painted, identical lumps of metal loping at 180 mph around the banking, fender to fender, nose to tail. Knowing the scenario would surely devolve into a multicar demolition derby that would thrill the goobers in the grandstands, I turned off the set to later learn that this time it was Jimmie Johnson who triggered the eight-car melee.” RunningRealizingRaceWatchesKnowingFiveWeekMinutesCarEightSpeedNosesBoredomMetalsTailsThrillBankingFive MinutesJohnsonScenariosIdenticalBlasphemyLumpsTerminalFreewaysHigh SpeedTurned OffNascarDerbyMphDemolitionDemolition Derby Author:Brock Yates

“Meditation has become a big part of my life these days. It's more about taking some moments for yourself to deep-breathe and focus your attention inward.
