Trekking the Birthplace of Food

Trudging across the snow by the dim light of a headlamp, I can barely make out the shapely Mexican hips that serve as my guiding stars. An Australian behind me sneezes on my fleece hoodie. No one should be up at this hour, but a long line of climbers zigzags over the face of the frozen volcano under a moonless sky.
The owner of the hips is a fashionista. Her white fur boots pad softly across the surface like a pair of dainty rabbits while her silky black leggings alternate as smoothly as a dee...

How Google Robbed Millions of Authors

Last week publishers, copyright experts and other supporters filed amicus briefs petitioning the Supreme Court to hear the copyright-infringement case against Google brought by the Authors Guild. The court’s decision will determine how and whether the rights and livelihood of writers are protected.

If you type, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” into Google’s search box, the text and author will be identified for you in a matter of seconds. This is not because Google has ranks of Englis...

Fitness Secrets of a Sexy Beast IV

Our bodies are a lifelong construction project. The food we eat is the raw material and the exercise we do is the building process. Most of the construction work is accomplished on the night shift while we sleep. Thus, proper quality and quantity of sleep is crucial to a lifetime of health. Likewise, the food we consume is fuel for the fire of forging a man or woman of steel. To a great extent, you truly are what you eat … and how you exercise … and when you sleep.
While researching my book Sa...

Fitness Secrets of a Sexy Beast III

Previous articles in this ongoing series referred to the life wisdom of the Olmecs, who were the earliest known civilization in the Americas. The Olmecs buried a mystic configuration of sacred sculptures under layers of white sand and colored clay on the site of their settlement at La Venta. Sixteen jade, serpentine, and granite figures stood in a representation of a shamanic ceremony. The figures pose in a relaxed stance with flexed knees, aligned backs, loose arms and fixed gazes. This body...

Fitness Secrets of a Sexy Beast

The 25-year-old I was kissing last year finally asked me my exact age. I spit out the raw number. She gave me a grossed-out "You're my grandpa with benefits?" look then ended our relationship. The 23-year-old bachata dancer before her paused a lifestyle of steamy lesbian sex to make me her first boyfriend. The 20-year-old corn goddess I'm dating now calmed my fears that our blissfully perverted love might result in my leaving her widowed with a gaggle of children. She responded unflinchingly,...

Political Correctness: Fascism Disguised As Sensitivity

Idiot students at Mizzou foolishly think they're victims of racism, when they're actually victims of bad parents who failed to give them the love and discipline balance that produces character, plus liberal academics who coddled the dangerous fantasy of "safe spaces" free from opposing or challenging viewpoints.

I would like to whitesplain the facts of life to these pathetic babies, but I can't, because I self-identify as black from the waist down and white from the waist up. Plus, being the o...

Riding My Woman Into The Sunset

On my birthday tomorrow, I celebrate half a century of passionate living with half a week of passionate loving from a voracious and curvacious woman half my age at Mazunte Beach Jazz Festival. La vida es muy muy dulce.

I thank God for every sunrise, every breath, plus enough torque and thrust to take away the breath of my delicious corn goddess. The jaguar shown in this photo is an old classic edition. Still, the engine on this antique offers true high performance with all parts being original...

Pope Francis Needs To Get Laid

The title of this post is neither disrespect nor jest but a serious theological proposal that I will now defend sincerely and brilliantly. Here we go. Pope Francis recently visited the most powerful nation and economic engine in the history of the world for the 1st time. He gave a speech to the U.S. Congress. His message stressed that people should care for the poor and governments should "share" resources by redistributing them from the rich to the poor. He's absolutely correct on the 1st po...
