I am in the computer "lab" at Sacred Heart Apartments.
Last night, I flipped a book open and landed right on a page where a guy is talking about his fasting in prison for 75+ days.
He eventually began to consume a couple 10 ounce glasses of orange juice.
His weight went from 169 to 100, and this is something that perhaps a prisoner can pull off; because all he has to do, besides the labor of breathing is to sit there.
I always thought that the faster should go out and try to do physically "demanding" things, and then to use that as the measuring stick for how long the fast has, in effect, gone. If you have more energy than you could have imagined, after not having eaten for x days, then all well and good. But, if you actually fail in the task or feel faint, then it is time to look into some deals on orange juice.
There is the whole thing with the scurvy, such as sailors used to be susceptible to, when on voyages of 75+ days without any limes or glasses of orange juice.
My monthly allotment of data through the government phone is near its very end.
I had bought 2 extra gigabytes, but had then gotten on a Muhammad Ali boxing match watching kick.
I watched about 4 of his fights in their entirety.
His career ran parallel to the one of Elvis Presley, with regards to them both having been out of action during segments of their "prime."
You could lump Mike Tyson in there, who missed 6 years of boxing while locked up for rape; and Michael Vick, the NFL quarterback who missed at least 2 prime football playing years.
Granted, it is probably easier for a singer to "bounce back" after being out of the business for 4 years, or whatever, than it is for the boxer, or football player. Elvis could have sang his heart out everyday, in some capacity, in the military, to include the shower.
The fast has reached the point of 6 days. I am pretty much full of energy -I am waking up early (healthy and wise) and getting a lot done as far as cleaning and organizing the apartment; getting rid of books that I know I won't read, along with music CD's in the same category.
Music creation has gotten a shot in the arm.
I have begun a separate project of learning how to play "Maybelline," by Chet Atkins on the acoustic guitar. Hopefully I won't need to get a nylon stringed one like the one he plays in a video I have of him playing and teaching that song.
