…was back in the day somewhat of a trial in and of itself. It was easy when you were younger and your parents would pack you and your siblings up in their oversized Olds; coolers filled with soda and a bag full of snacks that was the absolute opposite of healthy. Your mom would light […]

  Palate cleansing time people! Which is to say, I wanted to give this second article I wrote time to cycle through the wonderfully patient and gracious positivity blogs that published it before. Though their reach is a good bit bigger than TAV’s, I did want to get it up here because the message is […]

  Every now and then palate cleansers are a nice way to start fresh, at least for people who have actual palates… Where as if you live on PBnJ cheerios and dark chocolate with granola, your taste buds are so underdeveloped there’s little reason to cleanse. (#IKnowAGuy #ImTheGuy) That’s all to say that this posting […]

…means that’s usually the first thing I notice on people and not say, whatever is the “in” section at that moment. Now it’s somewhat stereotypical to be a guy and focusing on the visual, but I feel confident enough that admitting as much won’t throw Earth off it’s axis. If nothing else, it’s funny how […]

…when he watched Poppy leave the bathroom without washing his hands, I made a double take just the same when this brunette gave me a nod and a half smile, leaving a sweaty machine in her wake. It was quite the quandary for any number of reasons. First, if she was some dude, would I […]

Whether you’re as barren as the Mohave or have swimmers that are about as mobile as I am after leg night, I share your pain my childless brothers and sisters… Cast to the outskirts of society like smokers are now; having to put up with the mosquitoes in the summer or cold blooded mosquitoes in […]

…at least that’s what I learned the hard way. As a good portion of these observations have, you know, observed, gyms are an interesting place. The dynamic of people from all walks of life and demographics, combined with sweat and grunting, really sets these places apart from others. Except from maybe a locker room after […]

It’s so they can work their tech dealies at HQ (that’s headquarters) and help get TAV verified, again… Due to the recent tech issues; which is one part increase in traffic (good!) and other part user error (not good.) Oh and while I’m at it, how do you say Pinterest […]

…how could I not be when I go to a place with very loud music, mostly drek. The people around me are all hopped up and a good bit sweaty. The girls all have on tight clothes, pants related to the yoga family, and the guys wear tight T-shirts with a half pound of product […]

…because as you know, contradictions are the spice of life; or probably not that at all. It depends on your perspective really. Take the feminine form for example; athletic and or toned to be specific. Time sacrifice and motivation are just a few of the admiral qualities that go into obtaining this. And the women that […]

…was at least what I was thinking when this guy was spotting me, and trying to take my soul. Literally as he was helping me, his head was over the bar and almost over mine, and his eyes would not leave mine. Now ironically I’m an eye guy, at least when it comes to women, […]

…is what I told myself recently at the gym when the guy with the hooped out ear lobes and facial \ body tattoos said he was copying my yoga stretches. His much smaller brunette girlfriend, also with tattoos, laughed saying she couldn’t even do them, notably staring at my rear end. So naturally my mind […]
