47

soooo.... i was reading some stuff about how to possibly help the healing process for my leg and i came across several articles for "therapeutic fasting"... it made me curious... so i read them, and compared and they all seemed to make some good arguments and gave some reasonable data for how it allows your body to use the energy from digestion on eliminating dead cells and toxins from the blood... there were lots of examples of people who employed fasting in their lives... philosophers would employ it as a teaching took to allow their pupils to reach a higher level of understanding... some would even require a 40 day fast... many would atleast go for a week... a 155 pound 5'8'' male can survive for 3 months (3 months) on water (and i'm guessing vitamins...)... so i figure i can go for a couple days maybe 3... i actually feel fine right now and its been 47 hours of just drinking water... its kinda cool cause i keep drinking water, but my pee is still sorta yellow (not too yellow)... so i mean... something is cleaning up alittle... but i feel pretty good. I'm not even hungry right now, i guess i will be later... i have to go get a patient's chart at the clinic for my presentation on tuesday and i figure i should probably have something before then because i want to seem as professional as possible... there are some great studies on mice and how they live much longer if you restrict their diets instead of letting them eat what they want... its just proof that you do have to have some personal restraint in life and not just do what feels good becuase its not always the best thing... i was talking to Lan, my asian female friend (she is really nice) and she was so happy that i brought that up and she said in her culture its a regular thing and that they have several scientific reasons for doing it and she explained it to me and it was awesome... and she said something about this would be really good for my karma for 2006 because its in the first 15 days after the chineese new years... and while maybe i dont believe in that per se', it was nice to have someone else tell me that i will have good luck for the rest of the year... no problem with that... and seeing as we as a country have only the 48th highest life expectancy in the world and are getting beat by about 4-5 YEARS (thats a TON by life expectancy standards) by her country which is somewhere in the top 4 of life expectancy... she might be onto something too....this window display thing is crazy... i'm really tired of it already and we've only done 3 events (out of 15 total)... note to self- dont be VP again cause you get crapped on second semester... but i'll be ok... just gotta hang in there... i look forward to a time when i can be free from feeling stressed out- i think that will be whenever this project is over... which will be over my spring break hopefully. whaaaat else... ryan, who is sitting next to me, just called me "Sir BlogsAlot", and that was funny... but he doesnt have anything to do right now while i get to type something... so i guess the joke's on him! ZING (ok that was from him)...
ok i'll cut it short since i probably exceeded your attention span by about 300 words... soary... holla!
(also as a side note, i'm doing much better about the ex and girls in general... like i said before... i'm actually a really nice person (yeah i know i am) and i'm feeling 10 times better about what i've got to offer in general... i'm a pretty decent catch--i'd say i'm about 80% over it now)
