"Mask Side-Effects & Potential Hazards Research"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/28

I provide an extensive overview of the recent scientific review "Is a Mask That Covers the Mouth and Nose Free from Undesirable Side Effects in Everyday Use and Free of Potential Hazards" which was published on April 21, 2021 in the "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health." Topics are addressed from multiple disciplines and include: MIES-Mask Induced Exhaustion Syndrome, SBS-Sick Building Syndrome, HIF-Hypoxia Induced Factor, FM C02 Gradient (Fetal-Maternal), Metabolic

"Six-Foot Rule & COVID-19 Research"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/27

A recent publication by MIT's departments of chemical engineering and mathematics cited that the current "Six-Foot Rule" as recommended by the CDC offers little protection in indoor spaces. I think this information is being taken out of context because the whole article needs to be factored. More specifically, particle size matters. The six-foot guidelines are more specific to a certain size of droplet. I did my best to summarize and clarify some key points to the research including: respiration

"Ecstasy & Violence: Risk & Challenge"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/26

In Rollo May's 1972 book, "Power and Innocence: A Search for the Sources of Violence," May wrote a chapter called "Ecstasy and Violence" where he explains man's attraction to the ecstasy or excitement surrounding violence and how this snaps us out of our mundane and "over-sterilized" modern environments. At the end of this chapter, he shares the story of a WWII combat veteran who returns to Europe to speak with some of his former comrades about their lives during the war--and how things changed in a

"Passive VS. Active Health"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/24

Here are a few of my thoughts and stories about "passive" health when someone does something to help you and "active" health when you do something to help yourself directly. We really need both, but many times our ego and own insecurities get in the way of us relaxing enough to admit we need help. We are often afraid of self-exploration, yet this is important for growth as well as overall health. Examples given are chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, trigger point release, sensory deprivation tanks,

"Lotus Light" by Ruth St Denis #6

The Long Road ·

2021/04/23

This is show #6 on "Lotus Light" by modern dance icon and author Ruth St. Denis. "Lotus Light" was a book of poetry and illustrations published in 1932 and beautifully illustrated by her friend Ruth Harwood. Ruth St. Denis was one of the biggest names in the world of modern dance during the early 1900s, and her work still influences dancers and movement artists even today. She's one of my favorite people to read and study. Enjoy. :) #thelongroadshowLearn more about Ruth St. Denis here:

"Tulsa UPlift"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/22

I was in Tulsa, OK last week exploring a future relocation there this summer. I felt such a positive uplift from what is happening in this community. I share my observations on development, arts, traffic, parks and recreation, and just general vibes in Tulsa along with specific comments on "The Gathering Place" which is a world-class educational playground for children. #thelongroad https://www.gatheringplace.org/

"Outcome & Adrenaline Response"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/20

Here are some interesting historical thoughts and physiology on the human body and adrenaline following certain outcomes whether they be a legal trial such as with the current George Floyd case or a major sporting championship event. Join me as I go over these and the psychological dynamics of "power" and its usage in negative or positive ways. What is the responsibility that should be associated with power? Where does the "use of force" fit on the power scale? #thelongroadshow *Graphic Credit:

"Trail Ideas"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/20

I just returned from Tulsa, OK where I spent some time hiking in a nice wooded area outside of Tulsa called Tahlequah. As I was doing a simple hike on the "Sparrow Hawk Primitive Area" trail, I got a lot of ideas about life from the things I observed. Here are a few "trail ideas" that came to mind including some technical tips on trail running. Getting outside has many health benefits from mental to physical to spiritual. Go outside every single day. Get sunshine. Breathe fresh air. These things are

"Orange Tier Freedom?...NOT Really"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/06

Los Angeles County just granted us orange tier "freedoms" to reopen bars and increase capacity at certain venues, but don't be fooled! True bars that do not serve food: Outside only. NO live music. NO television inside. NO sitting at a counter. NO meeting more than six people from three households. Is this really freedom? Compared to what? *Photo Credit: "Santa Clarita Ladies" by Ron Jones #thelongroadshow

"Mabel's Roadhouse"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/05

There is an infamous dive bar down the street from me in Santa Clarita, CA where local working class heroes relaxed and enjoyed amazing live bands. It was a place where all kinds of people gathered from many different walks of life. What have we lost the last year? It's more than just beers and cheers. #thelongroadshow *Photo Credit: "Santa Clarita Ladies" by Ron Jones.

"Situational Awareness to Avoid Violence"

The Long Road ·

2021/04/01

This is a very important show considering our current times. I'm sharing the most important tips I've learned over the years from my elite martial artists and law enforcement friends on how to avoid violent attacks. These are mental strategies. I'm not going over physical fighting techniques in this show. The idea is to use "situational awareness" to avoid or prevent a physical attack altogether. Most people can avoid violent attacks if they just know what to look for and how "to feel" the immediate

"Mexican Shaman Healer"

The Long Road ·

2021/03/31

This is a fun and fascinating story about how my Mexican gardener and landscaper ended up being a Mexican shaman who was trained in old-school methods of healing and how his touch and knowledge helped my own daughter when my methods and western medicine could not. Keep an open mind and heart to healing because you never know what might be out there and helpful. (Graphic Credit: Edgar Fabiano/Wikipedia) #thelongroadshow

"The Red Summer of 2021"

The Long Road ·

2021/03/30

America has a violent history of Red Summers. The Red Summer of 1919 saw dozens of violent racial riots across the US following the 1918 pandemic and resulting migration and social confusion. We had another Red Summer that was more commonly called "Freedom Summer" in 1964 which saw five major race riots between blacks and whites. As I look at the history of Red Summers and the historical markers, I can predict that we are lining up for a Red Summer of 2021. Be careful America. It's a dangerous path

"The Souls of Black Folk" by W.E.B. Du Bois (Chapter...

The Long Road ·

2021/03/29

W.E.B. Du Bois was a prominent Black scholar in the 1800s-1900s and one of the founding members of the NAACP. He wrote "The Souls of Black Folk" in 1903, and this book has been called one of the most important Black history books ever written by an African American. I share an excerpt from Chapter VIII where Du Bois describes in detail the living conditions and culture in the "Black Belt" of Georgia during the post-civil war era.

"Echo Park Los Angeles: History & Philosophy"

The Long Road ·

2021/03/26

Echo Park in Los Angeles has been in the national news this week because of the homeless camp being removed and subsequent protests by homeless activists. What was the actual purpose of this park when it opened in 1895? Why were American parks built in the first place? Who are they for? Let's take a look at the rich history and social psychology of parks and refocus on making them safe places of "Re-Creation" for the youth. #thelongroadshow Learn more about the history of Los Angeles parks:

S0-CAL Kar Kulture & Von Dutch

The Long Road ·

2021/03/26

Southern California was ground zero for customizing cars. After WWII, GIs returned home to California and needed to replace the dangers of war with a suitable adrenaline substitute. They began fixing up old jalopies and racing them out in the Mojave Desert. This trend led into customizing street cars too--and the hot rod era was born. "Pin-striping" was created as a way to set off your car, and a guy named Von Dutch (Kenny Howard) became THE guy for pin-striping in the Los Angeles area during the

"Values of Camping" by Jay B. Nash

The Long Road ·

2021/03/25

Jay Bryan Nash was a PhD professor at New York University and in my opinion, was the top physical educator of the 20th century. I put Nash at this level not because of his physical prowess or emphasis upon physical fitness in PE--but because of the deeper value of his work that emphasized the elevation or our overall culture "through the physical." Nash had a very classical way of teaching PE and activity that came from ancient Greek studies. Today, I share an article Nash wrote in June 1940 for

"THE PROPER STATE OF MIND" by Coach Ray Eliot

The Long Road ·

2021/03/24

In 1969, American football coaching legend Ray Eliot delivered what very well might be the greatest "football" speech of all time entitled, "The Proper State of Mind." The speech is quite moving. I encourage you to listen to it even if you are not a football fan because his speech is really not about football--it's about life. Living the BIG life. Living a life of courage, determination, character, and grit. Few current football coaches and players know of Coach Ray Eliot--but they should. You can
