Khalil Gibran ...


Love that does not renew itself every day 
Becomes a habit ... 

And in turn 
A form of slavery ...

That way the reader is held and set free ...
At the same time ...








  • Malcolm X: The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize a sleeping people around specific goals ... You have to wake the people up first, then you’ll get action ...

  • Interviewer: Wake them up to their exploitation ???

  • Malcolm X: No, to their humanity, to their worth ...

My First Attemp At The Renergy Sandwich 2.0 ...


This was my first attempt at making the Renergy (pronounced Hen-er-gy) Breakfast Sandwich 2.0 ... This sandwich is light (though it may look heavy), super healthy and very nutrient dense ... It's a part of the Gracie Diet (http://graciediet.com/), that I've been following for the past few years ... 

The Gracie Diet (http://graciediet.com/) was founded by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Grandmaster Carlos Gracie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Gracie), on the principles of maintaining peak levels of health for consistent hard training, by using the proper food combinations ... The combinations were not based on taste, appearance, or biological classification, but on what pairings would optimize the digestive process and lead to increased energy, health, and longevity. The diet also focused on keeping the body alkeline instead of an acidic state, therefore maintaing a strong immune system ... This was mainly to ensure that members of the Gracie family were prepared at any given time, to take on anyone that was willing to accept the Gracie Challenge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Challenge) (A challenge issued to anyone and everyone to prove the practicality, effectiveness, and technical superiority of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, more commonly know today as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu), over other martial arts) ...

The Gracie Diet puts food into groups, so that the right combination of foods makes it easy for the body to digest, prevents the blood from becoming acidic, as well as a whole host of other health benefits (http://graciediet.com/food-groups/) ... Also, the diet avoids certain foods, including Alcohol, Pork, Peppered and Pickled Foods ...

Enjoy it ...
