Caffine is such an over rated drug.

Really, do we need amphetimines to help our brains work correctly? I like the little rush it provides from time to time, but like most ampetimines, it leaves you high and dry after a while. So for me, its like a thanks but no thanks kind of a thing. Ups and downs are just not good in the long term. So down with caffinee! Up with excercise and yoga!

I just got back from my Dad's house in Atascadero (spanish for Mud-hole) helping my Dad put together a website so we can save milliions of people from death and misery due to Vitamin D Deffenceny Syndrome. Whats that you say? There is no Vitamin D Deffecency Syndrome? Well your right mr smarty pants- its because we are still working on it!

After looking at all the research, the actual studies- I became convinced myself. It survives the evolutionary attack as well. Humans were designed, and evolved out in the sunlight. No clothes, no buildings- just your bare ass and the sun. The pigmentation of your skin varies due to the latitude that you live in. Northerners are white, because when the sun comes out, that skin needs to soak up as much damn UVB as it can to store up some Vitamin D. Its a gas-tank sort of system, where you can get tons of it for a while and then have enough to last you until the sun comes out again. Farther south, you get too much UVB so your skin turns black. That way when you are out in the sun all day it is harder to soak up UBV, and even though you need more of it to get good Vitamin D levels, you don't get skin damage.

Now enter the industrial revolution, and mans migration out of the sun and into the office/factory.

Problems start to emerge in the human body. Rickets become rampant. Mental disease. When something vital, such as vitamin d was removed from the body, randomn health problems started to occur. And still do to this day, due to shitty medical practices.

So the guberment (in all their wisdom) decided that the RDA of Vitamin D should be 400 units a day. When you sit out in the sun for fifteen minutes, you make somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000 units of Vitamin D. 10,000 units! The RDA actually thinks that more than a 1,000 units might be toxic. So the moral? If you go in the sun for more than a minute or two, the government thinks you will die. Silly guberment.

So you simply have to ask yourself, what happens when mother nature designes a beautiful mechanism in your body to make Vitamin D and then you screw it up by staying in an unatural building all day? Yep, thats right! Diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, mental illness.... its amazing how many things can be linked to this one Vitamin (actually its a steroid). So get in the sun for crying out loud, or take some suppliments!

On another note, Logan just sent me a wonderful recollection from our childhood! Yippy, skippy! I am going to post it in my "Non-Fiction" archive for safe keeping with the other childhood stories. I can't tell you how great it is to relive some of my best memories growing up out in Missoula, Montana. Its a unique place for sheeezie. So click on Non-Fiction (I know it hasn't been updated in a while, just ignore the cobwebs) and check it out.

Oh, and my Dad let me borrow his Mercedes indeffinetly! Say goodby to my old, rattly, loud, and ugly (but I still love it!) truck and hello to the sleek little Mercedes Benz supercar! Its a little slower off the line and three years older than my truck, but built with a craftmanship that is simply unmatched. It drives like a freaking dream, and its now going to be my new baby.

New car, Vitamin d, and Logan's story. Yep, a good post.
