Master Cleanse Day 4, Day 5, Day 6...7

Day 4

Traveling to Downtown on the packed 33 metro through South Los Angeles I am witness to an exchange of an 40 year old black man and 18+ black girl. The bus was packed and they were yelling about being too loud and negative, throwing around many threats. It was useless argument of ego.

A black women with her three young kids chastised the two saying "my ten year old is scared wondering why niggers are acting so niggerish!!! That's right, I said niggerish. I moved my family from Rancho Cucamunga so they could be around black people...and this is what I get!?"

Eventually, the shit talking subsided, but the infighting, claiming to parts of the "hood" was just blatantly glaring to this white boy as senseless and destructive.

There were so many things wrong about the situation, false pride, ego, needless disrespect and a proliferation of disharmony within a community that faces many hardships. Life on the bus carried on while young women were talking about sexing each other up and grinding on each other literally right in front of the small kids.

It was a scene that I would escape at Venice and Grand...but, implications for the way things are seemingly so toxic to society were playing out through my head...reaffirming needs for a refocus, something like The Green Projects could provide some tools.

I tried to deflect some of the negative energy, with my bright green shirt...a good color for the detox.

Day 5

I danced to House music into Day 5 at Inspiration, at the Palmer. I came out with a stronger desire to improve my body control and movement.

I picked more lemons today. Down the street, a lemon tree on city property, the people with the store front offered their homemade lemon picker. Climbing the tree, and getting all scratched up from the thorny lemon tree while harvesting a lot of the lemons, they were appreciative. I took a sack that will last me through this cleanse, and the people at the store should have lemonade.

I then went to play beach volleyball with friends down the beach...seeing some friends.

Feeling really good about the cleanse.

Day 6

Mornings are definitely a little uncomfortable.

I drank my laxative tea, then got ready for an hatha yoga session with Vytas the calm one. Needless to say, if you know his style, but it was a really intense session, which was extra sweaty. More toxins out.

My love handles are reduced, although my love endures.

I have been working on The Green Projects proposal

Vision Statement:

To mobilize people in low income neighborhoods to become educated for highly skilled green jobs and facilitate a network necessary to retool their communities through green technologies. An ethic of green, socially responsible, non-violent creative emancipation will be cultivated through various educational (artistic, academic, and vocational) workshops.

I am writing it to put together my ideas in hopes of my network of people that are looking to affect change and a group of UCLA friends who want to start a charter school will direct there energy more efficiently to affect positive change.

Feeling pretty good.

Day 7 - morning

Had a friend quip that the cleanse is bullshit, after telling her I am only my 7th day.
The effects seem very real and physically apparent to me. My diet is mostly non-toxic, whole organic vegetarian food. Even so, I am still seeing a dark plaque like substance be eliminated from my body even after seven days of Lemon, Maple Syrup, Cayanne Pepper.

The comment came from one point of view, usually involving a high metabolic game of too much in too much out, that is stressful on the mind.

Master Cleanse Day 1 Women Down Day 2 and 3

Woman Down
Day 1
Robyn dropped out the first day... I advised her to read the book, but she procrastinated. The book is a good tool to help inform the intention of this cleanse.

I made her drink the first dose of maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper too soon after the salt water too soon, she wound of vomiting the lemonade.

So, I left to the DMV to get my lost liscence renewed. When I come in the house I looked at Robyn, and new she had eaten.

She doesn't like lemons, and can't do spicy...so, she decided this was not for her.

Day two

I drank 96 ounces of the liquid through out the day. I can handle being around food and other people eating, the urge to eat is there just for the taste, I gave away the Gouda cheese I had in the refrigerator. I don't really feel hungry . Each 8 ounces of the lemonade is 200 calories.

I missed the coaster by a few minutes coming back to LA, but made it back by Amtrak to catch the Twilight Dancer Concert at Santa Monica pier.

Day three

The mornings seem to be the most difficult. That is when the herbal laxative kicks in from the bedtime tea.

I went to yoga in the morning and was worried that the abdominal work would squeeze too hard and the laxative still in effect would produce a not so Zen experience. A lot of sweat, felt good, keeping hydrated. I got through it, using my forearms in all my postures that require my hands. I hurt my hands last night after my wheels of my skate board came off the board.

I feel a little euphoric at times. So, far, I recommended it...

I went and picked some more lemons around Venice, found some really juicy ones.
