master cleanse

today is day 5 on this master cleanse thing. check out therawfoodsite.com for instructions if you’re interested. I got more interested in trying juicing and more raw foods since reading the Gerson therapy stuff. I wanted to start juicing and take on the protocol for a true Gerson therapy regimen, but we’re almost out of this insect haven place, and the idea of busting out the juicer and coating all inner working parts with yummy fruit and vegetable juice (read ‘insect honeypot’) just doesn’t rub me the right way, so I figure fine, I’ll do the master cleanse thing first. Additionally, I’ve read and I can see it being true, that doing a cleanse or fast before going even-more-raw can make it much easier because fasting resets the body’s tastes and eliminates cravings from built-up toxins. So, anyway, it’s going quite well. I have to say that the site above and the book I ordered (all the info …

get in bed someone will fall in love

[SRT is a line that popped out at me while walking from a Marilyn Manson song, and summarizes one of the main gripes of my 20s. beyond that it *is* pretty random (the R in SRT) and has more to do with trying to decipher what is this like/like/dislike thing with the band itself]

they planted trees all around the track! sure it will be 60-80 years or so before they are anywhere near as magnificent as the big ones in the back of the park (also actually babies themselves compared to how long trees can live if given a chance), but they have that presence of tree, all the same. more trees.

feeling really spread sort of thin. too much work, should probably find more people to do it because i’m not finding enough time to project manage and get all components done. so then I’m also not finding time to see to responsibilities as GSJ mod, let alone catch …

secret chiefs and iodine

the semi-Gerson diet is going well. I think these first few days we’ve been withdrawing from salt –aesthetically, and more into physically..as things progress. It sounds insane, but in the Gerson book they talk about people passing 5gm of salt a day in the first several days on the Gerson plan. Anyway, so iodine supplementation is part of this thing. I couldn’t get the Lugol’s solution, but Whole Foods had this Liqui-Kelp stuff. So I took one dose according to the bottle, once daily the first couple days. The next day I took it twice. Not that noticeable effects are necessary, but after reading the book and many online comments on the benefits of iodine supplementation such as ‘you definitely feel it’… I got to thinking , “how do I know this kelp stuff isn’t too dilute?’ . So I went looking online. The Liqui-Kelp says 150mcg per dose, so I just had to figure out what the Gerson …

provided there’s progress

walked 8 miles today to make up for just doing 2/3 the last two days. to be fair, days 1 and 2 of my cycle can be pretty horrendous, so i was happy with 2-3 those couple of days. it seems being on the pill flattens out the cycle in many ways, and makes the cramping and such much less angular as well. Took me a while to realize the connection after stopping the pill -the cramps got worse and worse. I never had really bad cramps in the first few years, then shortly after that I was on the pill for the most part of the time since then. As much of a very minor pain that such pain can be, I feel closer to nature and the mystery and all that to be aware and part of natural cycles rather than oblivious -how it feels in changing from flattened out hormones to natural rhythms. I mean these …

update stuff

busy work day, got to major stopping point. time for a quick update and then shower, walking. I should have journaled the ND trip while ti was still fresh. Oh well. That’s still on to-do list.

enjoying the SP concert playlist Ch put together. It’s got every song SP played in TX, as well as the VVerewolf Grehv stuff. not the actual performances with all the nifty modifications, mind you, just the classics. nice reminder / programme

for actual footage, be sure to check out EA’s hi-def stuff from these shows. holy fuck they’re good. i mean got a new camera, good for him, I thought, until I saw the results. Pretty sharp. EA is keeping us in the loop for related events. go, fellow SP nerd friending. BE SURE TO CLICK THE HD BUTTON see related vids for other songs played.

been keeping up walking. had been doing a few miles a few times a week for …

that vampire movie

Ch has left grooveshark open on his computer off to the left, further back in my field of vision. From the free version ad block all long the right side of the screen stares the alleged heartthrob vampire guy from those Twilight series. I was waiting for a page to load on my screen, about to turn off his monitor because vampire guy was distracting/staring at me, and I found myself asking the question, “why?” “is there anything unique about this romance, etc, genre film?”. I mean you get all the vampire romance crap in the Vampire Chronicles, but those are a little deeper, so not as much highlight on the ‘couple from 2 different worlds’ stuff. hmmm. the 2 extremes of, let’s say, like the Wyrm and Gaia, meeting each other and connecting, as the sharp distinctions between the 2 polar extremes fade, convergence. the vampires are the Wyrm, technology without spirit, intellect without moral. The heroine is …

motivate the inner ear creeping death and crystal clear

[today's SRT is a lyric from SP>Incision, not so random after all, but first things first]

Managed to get away for the ND trip. Must post more on that once I get more of a breather. The moment I flew back it was rush-rush to the Houston show, then one blessed day of sleep (after about 4 hours per for about 5 too many days), then leisurely-rush to the Dallas show, then rush-rush back to picking up on a hugely beneficial and stressful work project. have this fucked up head/chest-congestion, burning lungs thing that Ni was suffering from in ND. could be worse but weird fuzzy blanket feeling. signing off after extremely long, and mentally taxing work day… want to post about our SP experiences before crashing.

Chad and I shouting across the apartment to each other as I unpack, re-pack for our ‘week of SP’. Bits about the trip and grandma’s birthday celebration, his work. back and forth, zipping around …
