Cleansing

So I'm going to Trader Joe's this morning to look for some inexpensive, organic, vegetarian foods to start shaping my diet. I am currently fasting, sipping on some water from time to time, and I've resolved to drink healthy fruit juice's since I just received a manual juicer.

I found this cool food guide pyramid for vegans which I'm just gonna use as a basis and then incorporate my own needs and such in there.

I have a $100 budget for food.
And then I'm going to use whatever I need from my card to look about some vitamin supplements. Mos def. Because I am not goin' out like that lol. But that's not until tomorrow...

I'm in the process of making a shopping list (and checking it twice). I need to find a good nutrition site tho since I don't have my book from the class I took freshman/sophomore year. So off I go. Wish me luck children!

I'm definitely looking out for those things I saw in yesterdays video.

Another thing I will be doing today is (hopefully alongside my friend who I am trying to help better) realigning myself in space and time. We talked about how modernity/ colonialism disrupts the space time contiuum (in a sense) and this interview with Dr. York as well as Shamise's response really made me decide to realign myself so I can get back in tune with the universe.

This false sense of time has been beating me on the head for years. I remember telling Zack Waterman outside of Carroll hall, last year, how time isn't real. Well "this time" at least. And since my proclamation the universe has been going thru leaps and bounds to reveal to me that I was right.

Isn't the TRUTH so FREEING. *snickers*

[update 1:41 PM]
so i found these dope ass charts at wikipedia for the vitamins & minerals, and have written my shopping list accordingly.

getting dressed and ready to shop. peace family!

A Fast Journey

So, tomorrow I am going to restart my fast that I was originally observing with the Bahá'í Faith. I got like 5 days into it and crumbled, so this last week will definitely BE dedicated to recapturing that confidence I had two weeks ago.

Which means I will be waking up and eating heartily at 6:30, then a snack at 7:00ish.
At 7:30 I will eat a hearty meal and Then a snack at 8:30. And then a light meal before bed at 10-10:30ish.

I'm excited to begin again. My soul is crying for it.

When I break fast on Sunday, 21 I will be a new vegetarian. My love agreed to chip in to the new grocery list (wish he would chip into me *pouts* or at least let me come around more so we could share in the bounty together, like sippin' smoothies and play fightin'. FUCK THAT I'M GONNA MAKE HIM MAKE TIME FOR ME DURING SPRING BREAK)

*steps down off soapbox*
Sorting thru my personals is getting increasingly easier, but definitely more intense than I ever thought it would be. It's just getting really lonely. I'm really dipping into myself and refusing to come out. When I do want to come out there always seems to be danger. And no one likes to come and find me really so, shrug. Better get used to the feeling.
