After the tragic events of the past several days it has probably become clear to some of you that disaster can strike at any moment. Many lives were lost and thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed and now local area store supplies are quickly being depeleted as the community rushes to gather resources for those in need.
Yes, I understand the feelings associated with helping out your community, but this isn't what I want to discuss. I want to discuss how you can prepare yourself for future disasters.
What I've witnessed with the recent blizzard and tornadoes is that as soon as disaster strikes everyone goes rushing out for supplies. They wait until the last minute and then rush out to gather items before everyone else gets them first.
Wouldn't it be a better idea to build your supply stash over a period of time, buying items here and there as you go so you eventually have a large inventory of resources to pull from? To me it makes more sense that instead of waiting until the last minute we should have our supplies ready to go all the time.
Unfortunately most people have come to believe that disaster can't or won't happen to them and thus fail to prepare at all in advance. Then when disaster occurs, they are completely unprepared which often ends tragically.
A few things you might consider keeping around the house:
Several gallons of clean unopened water
Several Flashlights / Candles / Glowsticks / Lighter / Water Proof Matches
Extra Batteries
Gloves
First Aid Supplies such as gauze, alcohol, bandaids ect
Extra Food
Spare change of clothes
Spare Blanket
Whistle
Cutting tools
These are a few of the items in my bug out box; although, this is not anywhere near a complete list. You should design your supply box for the environment you live in so that you only have items that you need and can use in event of an emergency.
For a more in depth read on survival and how you can be prepared, I recommend the books "98.6 Degrees The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive" as well as "When All Hell Breaks Loose" both by Cody Lundin.

They Missed Their Chance. Don't Miss Yours.
Death, Destruction, Mass Chaos... War Zone... These have become the choice words of all who speak of the tornado that ripped through my home town of Joplin, Missouri last night. Reports are saying very likely more than 100 are dead and at least 89 have been confirmed at this time.
I am still in Florida awaiting my flight which will bring me back to all of this in a few short hours.
On the way to the airport my driver began a conversation that turned into discussion of last night's events. As we spoke he made the comment "they never had a chance", and I had to stop and consider what he had just said.
As tragic as the destruction is, I feel the people DID have a chance, unfortunately they missed out. This chance didn't come in the form of earlier sirens and more warning. No, the chance they missed out on was the chance to be revived at a later time.
All of those who were killed last night were stripped of their lives far earlier than they would have preferred.
The deaths are sad but are not what is truely tragic about what happened last night. The tragic part is that probably 100% of them WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO RETURN.
People, please exuse me for typing in all caps but THIS IS IMPORTANT.
CRYOGENIC PRESERVATION IS NOT JUST FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LIVE FOREVER.
CRYOGENIC PRESERVATION IS FOR EXTENDING LIFE.
CRYOGENIC PRESERVATION WAS THE ONLY CURRENT CHANCE ANY OF THOSE WHO DIED HAD OF REGAINING THEIR LIVES AND NOW IT IS LOST.
CRYOGENIC PRESERVATION DOES NOT COST A LOT WHEN FUNDED WITH A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
For the love of god... Please, PLEASE consider what I am saying as IT IS THE ONLY CURRENT CHANCE YOU HAVE AT SURVIVING IN THE LONG RUN.
One last thought.
If I had been in Joplin last night, and if I had been killed, I would have been THE ONLY person who had a chance to come back. All of this for the low price of around $30 A MONTH!
Please place your religon aside and consider cryonics. It does not interfere with your beliefs, I promise you. IF YOU WERE SICK YOU WOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR A CURE.
Death does not have to be the end. Death is a sickness and cryonics is a possible cure. Please think about this.
Those who died last night didn't have a chance. They probably never knew this was even a possibility. YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE.
Please LIVE!

Good Morning Florida!
Just wanted to bring a quick update. The conferences have been quite interesting so far, and I've learned a great deal more about modern science than before I attended. I would probably be learning a lot more right now at the SA conference but that would mean leaving my readers unattended :) Actually I'll be returning momentarily.
I have been surprised by the turnout and have found there are really a lot of people interested in what we are trying to accomplish!
This is a good thing for all of us!

FREEZE YOUR BODY ARE YOU NUTZ?
Yes, that's right, when I die I have every intention of being placed into a big freezer where I will await the day I return to animation.
"What in the heck are you talking about?"
I'm talking about cryogenic preservation. Why am I talking about this? I thought it a fitting topic since as I write, I am in transit to a Cryonics convention in Fort Lauderdale Florida.
So what is this all about?
Basically cryogenic preservation is one of the only feasible options for anyone who ever plans on living past the age of 100 right now. Cryogenic preservation is the process by which your body is is frozen once you have "passed away" with the hopes that you will return to walk amongst the living in the future once science surpasses what it is currently capable of.
Yes, I know, many of you out there are skepticle and I want to clear a few things up.
Does it cost a lot? Yes, it can, but can be fully funded through a special life insurance policy. (Which is exactly what I have done)
Why would you want to be brought back? Despite all the crazy theories that the future holds nothing but problems, I believe that the future is only going to get better and better, and since the only reality I know is the reality I am currently experiencing..., it is the reality I would like to continue on with.
So I have funded a cryonics contract with "Cryonics Institute".
FYI to all my readers, living longer is the entire reason I have devoted so much work toward becoming extremely healthy!
The actual goal is for science to surpass it's current capabilities before I die so that age reversal becomes an option and diseases are literally wiped from our very thoughts. This should all be possible through a little thing called nanotechnology, which is currently on the rise. Assuming science can do this, I wouldn't ever need to worry about cryogenic preservation. Cryonics is simply a last resort and the only real hope we currently have of ever coming back.
To read more on cryonics and how you can obtain a contract, please visit http://www.cryonics.org/
Cryonics Institute is a not for profit organization and they have quite a growing community. Whether you decide this is a choice for you or not, you should still check it out.
Can you REALLY make an educated decision without the educated part?
Thanks for reading!

Returning from break
Alright, I suppose all my loyal fans have waited long enough. I'm back. I was taking a break for a bit while I finished out the semester. Now that it is all basically done I can get caught back up.
Let's start with a little update.
I took second place in the 5k I ran last month. It was only my second 5k ever so I was pretty happy with it.
On Thursday I'll be flying to Florida for a Cryonics convention where I'll get to meet some brilliant people as well as the people who will be the future of cryogenic research or perhaps research in other important areas such as age reversal and nano technology. I think it will be a lot of fun!
While I was on my break I ended up getting sucked in by some sugar evils and ended up feeling pretty crappy for a while. But as I've said before and I'll say again, you MUST keep fighting no matter how many times you mess up. Almost immediately after I began my workouts and got back to eating right my weight starting decreasing again and I felt a LOT better.
I submitted an idea to the hospital I work for which would make health information part of the entire company's morning meeting on Mondays and it was accepted and put into action. The first reading of healthy information took place this morning so that was really cool!
Other than that I'm doing raw foods again to get back to the healthiest shape possible. I really want to get to a point where I know enough raw food recipes to stick with it all the time. I really do feel the best when eating in this manner.
I guess that's it for now. I'll be updating with more healthy living posts very shortly. Thanks for sticking around.
Oh one last thing I did that was exciting! I went skydiving! Woohoo... I was missing that adrenaline rush for a while!
