It's all about the food we ingest. These diagrams do not mirror traditional Western eating habits, but the eating practices of Okinawans, those who age gracefully and have the longest life expectancies.
Walking to the lake; pre-swim.
Walking around the lake; post-swim.
Walking away from the lake and back to the car; post-swim."I told her lay off the dairy products, chill on the citric acid, and you should feel a little better, you know" - RZA aka Bobby Digital

urban energy
Leo Valls skates hard and fast
post-oil slide
As I skirted Post Street past Union Square engulfed in a mystic mist dodging tourists who staggered with their maps and SLR cameras struggling to find a heading, my elbow ached and I thought of the motor oil I slid through just 14 hours prior to my alarm sounding. My elbow was still bleeding and my hip and knee were swollen, but I’m young, able, and it amounted to a captured moment in time. Documenting a thrash maneuver is like flossing my teeth; I think about doing it, I know the outcome will be euphoric, but I don’t exert the effort as much as I should. I need motivation, either from the dental hygienist who stabs my gums and scraps my teeth, or from a friend who compiles photos, art, and text to showcase his perceptions of urban energy. Signify Zine; Issue 3 is Kohei Yamada’s most recent compilation of photography shot in both his neighborhoods;

Persimmons pack a mean punch, man! They provide vitamins C, A, & B3, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Persimmons also offer protein, healthy sugars, mass dietary fiber, and a vibrant orange color. The more colors you eat the better, so enjoy some persimmons fresh or dried. The dried persimmons are covered in sulfites for preservation, so just rinse it off with warm water and you’ve got a healthy snack that provides 12 grams of protein; 23% of your required daily intake from just one whole dried persimmon!
A ring-billed gull bombarded my bay windows, blocking my westward view of Twin Peaks, squawking like Twisted Sister, shrieking for attention to lessened it’s load; a message tied to her ankle as if she just flew in from carrier pigeon training 3000 years ago, released by the Persians and Egyptians themselves. As I went for the window the bird’s energy combined with my momentum forced the window to jolt back, sucking the bird into the room like Starship Enterprise’s unforeseen voyage through a black hole. She flew straight to my extended arm, perched and lifted her leg as I untied the string that had been so carefully wrapped around the message tube. As soon as she knew her mission was successful, she was off, and I watched her fly into the sunset as I held the cylinder that contained a leaflet of papers; the Floridian zine, Still Existing: Volume 1 Issue 1.
