I
heard from a former bandmate today about his adventures in cleanse land
and sure enough the dude has drank the kool aid or whatever has
replaced the popular drink from acid test days - Perrier with lemon
perhaps. As Tommy says, he lost his gut, his acne, his tinnitus, his
fatigue, his hair started growing back...ahhh, well, no. The hair is
still lost. In his own words: "Then on the 8th day, I was able to eat
protein like fish, chicken, tofu
and the diet eased up a bit, but still no Salt, Sugar, Yeast, Dairy and
Caffeine. As I proceeded to stay on the procedure, eat really healthy,
my skin started to clear up, my gut started going away. I started peeing
like a 12 year old, my energy increased, my stamina increase. It was
like a new me....and I'm sitting there at lunch one day after about 2
weeks...it was so quite I could hear a pin drop...no ringing in my ears.
I was amazed and delighted."
PEEING LIKE A 12 YEAR
OLD! I
mean losing the gut, the acne, the ringing in the ears, the fatigue, the
drooling, then tendency to stumble around with my fly open, the
mysterious lack of awareness of visible boogers peeking out the nostril,
the loud, sonorous flatulence that accompanies the increasing
flaccidity of the glutemus maximus, the paper thin skin on the shins
that sparkles in the sun, the cracked calluses on the heels and the raw
bunches of leathery skin on the elbows, the increasing penile
dormancy...these are merely bland annoyances when compared to WEAK
STREAM. So imagine my excitement when I read Tommy's bold and refreshing
confession. First, the implication that he too had perhaps noticed that
the old pump wasn't pushing out the same PSIs, or CFSs, or BTUs or however the flow of pee pee is measured, like it used to. Of course when
we're talking about cubic feet per second of pee pee, we are not talking
about the strength of the tool itself but rather the flow control
mechanism inside at the pumping station. Has the pump grown rickety,
rusty perhaps? Would a shot of WD-40 with the morning prune juice help
lubricate the machinery such that bladder musculature would regain it's
elasticity and thus produce a more manly flow, versus a pathetic
periodic dribble that neither warns of it's arrival or effectively bids
farewell?
Is such a promise enough to warrant the severe physical and emotional shock of a "cleanse"?
Well, imagine that by simply having a shake in
the morning, a shake in the evening, and a healthy lunch in between,
plus any number of midday snacks from a list that's not too godawful
horrible...imagine that by cutting out the coffee, the booze, the sugar,
the red meat, the chips, the cookies, the peanut butter and jelly (but
keeping THE BARNEY BUTTER)...imagine that after 3 weeks of such an
insignificant and wimpy sacrifice I could end up PEEING LIKE A 12 YEAR
OLD!! Imagine my pride as I stand at the precipice of El Capitan, the
sun rising in glory over the Yosemite Valley and catching my powerful
golden arc in it's rays as it sails over the Awahanee and Curry Camp,
across the steam rising off the meandering Merced river, across the
valley to Glacier Point where it quickly forms a spectacular golden
waterfall that the tourists hail as the Second Coming. Imagine that if I
just kept cleansing that, in awhile, I could be PEEING LIKE AN 8 YEAR
OLD!
It's always good to have a goal!
