MASTER CLEANSE DAY 3 Orange Juice Day



3 days ago I decided to start a Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemonade Diet.
The First three days are considered the Ease In period...
Day 1 consisted of raw fruits and veggies and juice
Day 2 consisted of liquids only, soup, juice, smoothies
And now Day 3 is just orange juice.

To my surprise, I'm not very hungry, yet. I guess the psychological side of knowing that I'm doing this for a good reason is helping to quell the hunger.
Tomorrow I begin the main part of the cleanse which consists of lemon juice, mixed with maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
This will hopefully push out all of the toxins and crap in my digestive system and leave me cleansed. I plan on changing my diet to that of a much healthier person afterwards as well...though lately I've been eating very well, I just want to make sure I'm treating my body well.

Hopefully my weight won't fluctuate too much, but the loss of a few pounds will be helpful. I'm at my heaviest right now, 222 lbs., though I'm in great shape so I think this is where I'm supposed to be...maybe even heavier.

Mistaken Glance

Mistaken Glance
Shawty checking style so I made advance
Stepped to her, but it seems that I mistook her glance
Eyes rolled up, showed me her back
Did not admit defeat, just strengthened my attack
“Hey Gorgeous, what are you about?”
“You don’t wanna be here, when my man comes out!”
Her smile indicated jokes and that she enjoyed my plan
Gave me her hand and I helped her stand.
Dark like a fresh cup of coffee no cream
Two sugars, so sweet, percolating my dream
Caffeinated melody, high octane supreme
Expression reaction made frothy with steam
Vision correct, now my interest provoked
The scene painted smooth
Knew it was the right groove
Brush strokes insisted that I made the right move
Before this rain starts pouring
Pull those out and start exploring
The reasons for that to get these in
Getting hott but your ears are freezin
Like the Queen and this be the hive with bees in
Soldier style, not worker, but I’ll work for you
Bring the honey to the pot, so it won’t hurt for you
Sting your most sensitive spot
The buzz from Patron is getting you got
Sweetest dark berry on the bush
Juicy flow jiggles round on the push
Eyes half mast, pounded on the Kush
Puffing light sugar trees, don’t tell, shush
It must be the ass
That’s got me all hot
You know what I mean
Cuz you’re clappin what you got
And don’t stop
Even if you did that ass wouldn’t
Let’s connect waistlines
Place my hands where I shouldn’t
Dominating dance floors seems like your pastime
Let’s get all Jamaican and begin a fast wine.
You put it in the air
Fly dress, flyness looking so debonaire.
Get in the place that cause jealousy
I could stay there all night, but let us see
Contentment all around, so this must be
The most beautiful place, you got to trust me.

Replaced glass in some windows


I just wanted to let everyone know that I replaced glass in a few windows at my mother's place and I'm proud of myself. I knew now how to do such a thing before I started, but with a little help from an easy guide I found online...it was a lot easier than expected. The only hard part of it was removing sheets of glass from an older window, rather than buying brand new sheets. But once I had them removed the rest was cake. Glazing a window is actually kind of fun.
Here is the site I used to help me, and I highly recommend it.

Road Trippin in the Pacific Northwest



Flowing into Portland last Tuesday, began a work-related road trip of minor proportions through the Southwest chunk of Washington and a sliver of Oregon. Though minor, it was a great exploration of what Washington has to offer as well as a part of Oregon I've never had the wonder of experiencing. In fact the picture above is of myself loving the sun in Seaside, Oregon. Seaside is a tiny tourist town, which lies a half hour from Astoria on the coast. They have a surfing community and a really cool and large sandy beach. It was so nice to get my feet in the ocean again...it was been since the last time I was in Oregon and hit the ocean up in Coos Bay.
So here's my town lineup:
Landed in Portland, Oregon...I could live on the outskirts of P-Town...the dirtiness of the city turns me off though. Overall its a great place though.
From there I went to The Dalles, Oregon. An interesting town with a strong older population being infiltrated by a youthful one. I ate at the Spud Cellar which was really good!
Then to Yakima, Washington, which I had a different idea of what kind of town this was. It seems like Central Washington has a bit of a redneck feel in some spots. Big ups to Pacific River & Alpine Sports, a great place to hit up if you need outdoor gear when you're in Yakima.
From Yakima, the road took me to Wenatchee, Washington...it was hot up there! Stopped into a cool shop called Revolution Snow and Skate, which had a nice skatepark set up in the back.
Then it was on to Leavenworth, Washington. This town is at the mouth of the Cascade Mountains and was set up like a Bavarian Village to attract tourism, and I guess it worked because it was bustling.
From there I drove through Goldbar, Washington on my way to Bellevue. Goldbar is hardly noticed unless you need gas or something, but the mountainous terrain in the background is nice.
Bellevue, Washington is a large city connected to Seattle. The drivers there can be very rude, just like Seattle. Overall, I'd stay away from this place, unless I go back for more business. I'm not a fan of big cities anymore. Even though I reside in Salt Lake still :)
From Bellevue, came Olympia, Washington. Olympia is a really cool city...it keeps a small-city feel. Check The Alpine Experience for gear out there...a sweet shop!
Then I got the treat of driving to Astoria, Oregon. What a beautiful drive!! I highly suggest driving on Highway 101, whenever and wherever you can. I <3 the ocean so much. And driving into Astoria across the long bridge is awesome. Astoria has a really nice feel...this is a town I could move to, though I hear that I came during the best month. From September to June is supposed to be overcast...don't know if I could handle that.
The Goonies was filmed in and around this town...love that movie big time!
Then, as I mentioned before I hit up Seaside, Oregon.
And then I made my final length of road back towards Portland. I had a wonderful meal at the Tin Shed with some friends. I highly recommend that place for some delicious grub!!
I flew home a few days after arriving in Portland and my adventure was completed.

Dreads is gone.



well it happened...I got the courage up enough to let wifey chop the dreads off. Wow, almost 6 years of loving those things is gone and I don't miss em' too much. Though I feel a little less cool and way more ordinary, but its all G. I don't know what to do with the dreads, so for now they are just chilling...I should try to make some kind of wall hanging dealy. :) My boss suggested a beaded curtain of sorts. I haven't had short hair since like 1999, so I have no clue what to do with it...mostly I just let it go crazy. And now I begin the long journey onto my third set. I've heard that your third set of dreads is the best, since you figure out all the common mistakes. One major mistake, that led to their demise, was that I chopped all the fly aways and loosies. and that led to thick bottoms and thin tops. Next time I won't make that mistake.

Hunting with sharks as helpers


So I began a career hunting underwater with my hunting sharks.
We catch squids mostly and let them go...its just for sport, and I think the squids like it.
We also catch mermaids, tuna, and mad plankton.
Anyone who'd like to join, should strap on their wet suits and kick it with me.
