Maximum Freshness: Archive

I'm really good at writing blog posts regularly.

Nope. Ok, so I learned that’s not true about me. I also know how much I change my mind about whatever creative projects I’m thinking about. And so this blog isn’t really about food anymore because I already tired of that. Although I am still trying to make an album about fruits and vegetables for kids that will be called Maximum Freshness. The Carrot Song is all I have...

Acidity vs. Alkalinity vs. Silent Lucidity

So I should apologize that this post actually has nothing to do with Queensryche. Sorry. But it does contain some information that has been profoundly life-changing for me, which is the understanding of our bodies’ pH balance. Now I use the term “understanding” loosely because as we all know I have a tiny brain, but I’ve gleaned enough information to know how it affects...

Milk in the Raw

I’m new to raw milk. For one, I thought milk had to be pasteurized or I would die and/or get sick. For two, it’s expensive. For three, where do you even find it? For four, I think that three reasons are enough. My roommate Josh has been drinking raw milk since we moved-in together in October, and I haven’t seen him die once. Josh is actually way further along on the...

Gonna Catch me Barefoot Ridin'

Some of you may have caught me Barefoot Ridin’® recently, and I gotta tell you guys, it feels great. My friend John Alford used to walk around barefoot all the time (and considered a dip in the ocean as good as a shower) and it used to seem so strange to me. Growing up everything was no shirt/no shoes/no service that it almost felt illegal to walk around barefoot. The Grand Realization...

Why Maximum Freshness?

Hello America So I’ve changed the title and purpose of my blog to match my current mission…making a funny variety show about living fresh. How did I get to this point? I’m so glad you asked… I used to work for a company called Evolution, which makes delicious vegetable juices among other things, and my job was to stand around in supermarkets and give people...

A Living Room Game Show

So a few weeks ago I was scheduled to perform in a living room in West Covina for a very nice arts-loving couple, Joanne and Ed Baines, and about 14 of their friends. I decided to try out a new idea: Perform an interactive game show. Since I’m looking to become a game show host, why not do a little field testing? The games consisted of trivia interspersed with physical challenges,...
