First of all, props for dropping by and expressing your opinion. However, you should know that I write the way I talk… some love it, some hate it and that’s fine… but that’s the way I’ve always done it. And it’s words on a page, which means no one is forcing them upon you. Skip the colorful verbage, you’ll still get the message.

As for how much “more” I could accomplish? Well, what does “more” mean? My sense of accomplishment isn’t based on what others think, because I could give less of a shit. My criteria for an accomplished piece is based on two things: 1, I stay authentic and 2, I get the message out there. That’s my vision. Since I’ve done those 2 things, I feel accomplished.

You’re assuming I could accomplish “more” by catering to a bigger crowd… but that’s a subtle act of bending over so others will like you. If my goal was to have people like me then yes, you would see a finely edited piece, absent of all the spice. Get what I’m saying? Let’s hope so.

Cheers.

@Wendy – hah, you totally should’ve put a sign. I was actually born with one “Handle With Care”

Thanks for stopping by! I did consider editing FitJerk’s article, but it felt like censorship so I published it as he wrote it. Perhaps I should have put a warning label on it . . .

I have very much enjoyed the Local Cook, was excited to see your article about fitness, and I thought your essay had the potential to be inspiring, but I was disappointed with your use of foul language. Honestly, it fits well with the theme: potential. How much MORE could you accomplish with mastery of the language by not resorting to foul language to make your point? I’ll take your challenge if you’ll take mine! You’ve inspired me to go take a walk before I have to pick up my daughter. All the best!

FJ, as an already reader of yours, love this and this statement:

So from this point on, you need to start believing that you can do more and achieve more.

I can do that pretty much with fitness BUT as you know, I have to bring it over to my real life stuff & I am trying!!!!

As for food, I am no cook so I have nothing to offer recipe wise. I just look for other people’s good stuff & try to cook or make that! Not always successful since I am just not good at cooking!

I just posted last night’s healthy dinner. Orange ginger mahi mahi – it was a really good dish to incorporate more healthy fish into your diet.

Great idea! I’m sharing an oldie but a goodie, a recipe for Tuscan Lentils & Chicken Sausage. We enjoyed it again this week, which prompted me to post a slightly updated and improved recipe.

[...] Every Friday I get together with Wendy and we throw up a post where I do what I’m best at (give you a kick-in-the-ass pep talk) and she does what she’s best at (create taste bud exploding recipes) and you get to be the beneficiary of this awesome sauce of collaboration. An excerpt of my pep talk for this week is displayed below, but to get the whole thing along with the recipe, make sure you head on over here: thelocalcook.com [...]
