Run For the Border!

rogerd — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 08:36:31 GMT

Well, I broke my fast 2 days early. at the very end of the 8th day. I was feeling very hungry, and my stomach was too upset for anymore salt water flushes. My roommate left town too, and I was a little worried about being home alone after having fainted on day 7. I know for sure that my stomach shrank! I feel full now on much less food than I used to. I did have a couple burritos from Taco Bell. Yeah, gross, I know. I don't really crave that anymore. I went to the farmers market Sunday and loaded up on Fresh Veggies, so I am gonna stick to that for a while and get back into running. I just noticed, Doesn't that look like a gravestone behind the bell in the Taco Bell logo?

Day 8

I gave my roommate a ride to the airport last night and all the fast food restaurants were calling out to me. When I got home at like 11 pm I experienced the most intense hunger so far. I think my feelings of hunger are worse than normal on this cleanse because you are supposed to drink 6 glasses of lemonade per day, and I am only drinking like 1 or 2. If I drink more, my stomach can start to feel acidic.

Day 7

rogerd — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 01:35:57 GMT

Yesterday, I had a 2 oz shot of fresh wheatgrass juice and sucked the juice out of 1/8 of an orange. I was on my feet a lot of the day and probably did not get enough water. This morning when I woke up, I got up to go to the bathroom and felt heavy like I was made of bricks. I took a pee, pulled up my britches, and heard a loud clunk as I collapsed on the bathroom floor. I don’t think I fully lost consciousness, but I definitely fainted. I walked back to bed and fell into bed spilling a glass of water that I keep by the bed. Lying in bed I was essentially immobile, yet a strange euphoria came over me. I fell asleep. After a couple hours I awoke and felt more normal. I actually went out to work on a computer network installation and made it to a 5 PM job interview. I feel fine now and I have an idea as to what happened. I think I am purging some really nasty chemicals from my body. When I pee, my urine is clear, but it smells like chlorine! Like when you are standing by a swimming pool or open a bottle of bleach. So, my theory is that this is what caused me to faint. I felt a little uneasy after fainting and thought maybe it was time to stop the cleanse. But now after realizing the horrible toxins that I am eliminating from my body, I want to keep going. I want to give my body the chance to get rid of more of these chemicals.

Day 6

rogerd — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 19:25:16 GMT

Yesterday was probably the most active I have been since starting the cleanse. I walked 2 miles and I cleaned my bathroom. I have been experiencing extreme emotions, mostly feeling depression, but sometimes feeling euphoric for short periods of time. The depression is actually not as bad as you might think. The reason is that I know the cure for it is simply to start eating again. So I think the worst part of depression must be the nagging question, "When will this end?" or "Will this ever end?" Speaking of the end, I have been think about extending this cleanse from 10 days to 14. I think I will make the decision when the time comes.

Day 5 - Food photography is the new pornography

rogerd — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 11:33:19 GMT

I haven’t eaten for 5 days. Its 4 AM and I haven't slept yet. I think I have learned something. I am not feeling very hungry. Just mild hunger sometimes, other times I feel repulsed by food. But my psychological craving for food is very high. In my normal life, I must eat, or make food choices for psychological reasons. I mean I know that I do, and that it is not really healthy. I really should eat for physical reasons. What I feel now is the normal psychological craving that I have for food amped up like 10 times. So, in a way it is a big temptation that it takes effort not to act on. But, also it makes it easier to understand what eating food does for me mentally and emotionally.

Day 4

rogerd — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 19:17:06 GMT

This morning I feel like the earth's gravity must have increased overnight. It takes effort to stand and stay balanced. Last night, a thin coating of white mucus type stuff formed on my tongue. I had to go to the supermarket and buy some mouth wash. Also, my stomach was bloated. I think it was from the saltwater. I may skip that today. My ears are producing a lot of excess wax, I am sneezing and need to blow my nose a lot. Also, I have an intensely foul body odor that doesn’t go away fully after showering. I have read that these are good signs. It means that my body is eliminating waste every way that it can. I am not really hungry now, but I am thinking about food a lot. I have been playing video games to pass the time. It keeps my mind off food. But I am going to see if I can get some things done today, like cleaning and laundry.

Area man drinks clay

rogerd — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 18:43:52 GMT

This is day 3 of my cleanse. Last night I got super hungry and had a throbbing headache. I drank 2 glasses of water with Bentonite clay, and I watched a documentary on GMO food. I am brainwashing myself to eat super healthy when I start eating again. Now this morning I feel super tired, but not hungry at all. My elbows and knees ache and I feel dehydrated. I feel gummed-up inside by the clay. It is supposed to be inside my intestines now absorbing toxins. Once I get myself hydrated again, I am gonna drink 32oz of salt water to flush out the clay.

Lemon - Midnight is where the day begins

rogerd — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 21:11:05 GMT

I am starting the lemonade diet today. It is also known as the "Master Cleanse". It will be 10 days of just drinking lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper - Plus i have this clay that is made from volcanic ash - and I am gonna drink it!

How I learned to stop worrying (and love making money)

rogerd — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 19:25:13 GMT

As a boy I thought robots were cool, and one game we would play was to act like a robot. We would speak in a monotone and move in a stiff jerky way. Now I feel like a robot again. My input is coffee, pornography and mexican food. My output is poop and software code. The software I am writing analyzes foreign exchange rates. See that red line in the pic? I wrote the code to calculate that yesterday. Today I am working on a blue line. That blue line is gonna rock so hard. When the blue line is done maybe I will stop feeling like a robot and feel like a human again.

SuperFriends!

rogerd — Thu, 25 Aug 2005 10:47:36 GMT

I fell for this cute college girl from long beach. We were friends and, I liked that. But I wanted to be the kind of friends that take cat-naps together once in a while. I guess you could say I wanted to become 'SuperFriends' with her. This was great for about 20 minutes. I was like Batman and she was like Wonder Woman. And we were just crusin' along in the invisible jet holding hands. Then her boyfriend found out. I guess Wonder Woman got tangled in her own magic Laso or something and had to tell the truth. Her boyfriend got all like Bizarro Superman on us. And I thought there might be a special "Batman Vs. Bizarro Superman" collectors edition comic coming out real fucking soon. But then, Wonder Women called me on my Batphone. She was with Bizarro SuperMan at the Legion of Doom! She said that we are 'just friends' now and not SuperFriends anymore. But it is hard to go back to 'just friends' when you have been SuperFriends, even if for only 20 minutes...ok maybe an hour and 20 minutes. I don't see what she sees in him, especially after he got all fucked up on yellow kryptonite or some shit and smashed up her invisible jet.
