HEAVY METAL! HEAVY SWINGS!
It’s Friday people! What are you all up to this weekend? As for me, I am back home for my final round of tattoo work (and seriously, this better be the last visit. I have nearly 12 hours of work on my right arm and I am really exhausted from all this needle work!). I […]
Sitting Sucks!

Functional Fitness: The Solution to Pittsburgh’s Port Authority Problems
This post is most certainly going to be a quirky one. For those of you Burghers who have noticed that our transit system is becoming less and less reliable, I decided to dedicate this blog entry to the subject matter of incorporating exercise into your daily commute. Now, there is nothing really revolutionary here, as […]
