Great topic. I feel like this almost certainly has to be "Angel of Death", but this was a fun excuse to go back and check my memory on some things, like "What was that Destruction album I had way back when? I remember it starting off pretty cool..." (Confirmed) Nice to see Exodus...

I start about 5 out of 7 mornings with some form of meditation. It started as a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression, often before bed, but is more general now. It’s your fairy typical secular Buddhist mindfulness with a bit of metta. ^^That sounds like a fair enough description for my baseli...

I am less than 60 days out from my first 21K Obstacle Course -- a Spartan Beast. Depending on the day, I might feel excitement or dread about what I've signed up for. Negative: My ongoing tendonitis in my shoulders went away for a while after injections, but is slowly returning. I have another injec...

This was one of the first ones to come to mind for me as well.

I'll add Smog's "Doctor Came at Dawn" and "Watching From a Distance" by Warning.

I've been having luck with cold exposure as well. I don't often make enough time for a proper sit, but I finish my showers with cold about 5 days out of 7, from 1-3 minutes, depending on the day. Even the short showers give me a boost in mood and energy, but longer exposures are of course better. Co...

Bump. Upping the ante on myself for next year: I recently bought tickets to two different obstacle course races this summer. Father's Day weekend: Spartan 21K run with 30 obstacles. This is half marathon distance. Intimidating. July, for my birthday: Tough Mudder 10+ mile run with 20+ obstacles. The...

Torben Ulrich, father of Lars. Seemed way cooler than his son, for sure. RIP, dude.
