To Live Forever
October 10th, 2007
When I first moved to Colorado almost 13 years ago I worked odd jobs while “trying†to find a job in the oh so exciting field of Mechanical Engineering (thank God I found Computer Science). In the interim, I climbed lots of rocks and logged lots of miles on my bicycle in and around Colorado and did whatever necessary to pay the bills.
During one of those odd job stints I met a real interesting character, David - I can’t recall his last name. David was a unique cat, he was about 6-4 and a buck thirty soaking wet with long hair and an off the charts laid back approach to life. David and I didn’t have a whole lot in common, but he was really sharp and we had some great conversations. I enjoyed hanging out and rapping about all sorts of shit.
David thought he was going to live forever… no, seriously he thought he was going to live forever! I didn’t believe him.
But I did learn some valuable lessons… one was the benefits of a cleansing fast. I have done this off and on ever since. David would fast on water precisely mixed with lemon slices, cayenne pepper, and pure maple syrup. David fasted way too often which was evident in his rail thin physique. But I am good for a fast once or twice a year. It’s that time again. Maybe I can live forever too
