Time to test the willpower.

I'm not going to eat for the next 5 days. I'll allow myself water and one cup of coffee each day.

I've been going 28 hours so far and its pretty easy. I'll document it here.

Has anyone else done anything similar?


Talkers are doing something. Beauties are being something. Which isn't bad, I just I don't know what it is they're being. It's more fun to be with people who are doing things.

No silly, I live in a Muslim country though.

I'm doing it as a test of my own willpower. I'm fairly confident that i'll make it.

It should also help to rejuvenate my brain so I can make you all buy Coca-Cola and communicate their key messages like a hummingbird.

I'll upload a picture of my stomach in a minute or two so we can track an potential weight-loss

The least Islamic of them all: United Arab Emirates. The UAE is a hypocritical mess, don't come here until the Sheik dies or something. Then it'll be better.

Anyways, hi John. Can I ask you a few questions?

Also, here is an INCRRRRedibly recent picture of me.

On a different note, i'm going to put all my physical exercise program on a temporary hiatus for the duration of this project.

actually if your diet is deficient in nutrients your brain will cease to function properly

neurotransmitters require proteins etc

your frontal cortex will cease to produce as much dopamine/serotonin and other neurotransmitters leading to a lack of motivation/temporary loss of motor skills/possible loss of memory

fasting for any period longer than a day or two is a dangerous thing

Theres more to a brain then neurons you know.

I can tell you the trajectory, speed, acceleration, altitude and all of that shit of a birds flight. But none of that will ever communicate the real value of a flying bird: grace.

I can tell you everything that ever happened to me, but it won't help you know who I am.

My uncle has fasted for 28 weeks on a water and salt diet, and no, he's fasting against a company to save lives.

Question to John: Which Islamic country is the best replication of Sharia? i.e which do you consider the holiest?

Also, sounds like John doesn't understand his own religion. Ramadan isn't a month. It's a fucking lunar cycle.

its also funny becase nobody here cares about anything. ITS THE ECONOMY STUPiD

If you base your popularity solely off your "award" on here, I'm sorry for you.

and as far as my job goes, I've been offered a promotion, so I'll be okay for now. But thanks, though. :)

its not funny at all because you make big ASSumptions.

Don't be sorry for me. I BE RULIN THE INFLUENCE OF THE PUBLIC RELATIONS WORLD. I also got offered a job at the worlds 2nd most successful PR agency today. It's funny, i'm going to be managing people older than me.

I tell you, uni is a big waste of time in a lot of career paths. Gotta be careful and double wrap.

and as far as my job goes, I've been offered a promotion, so I'll be okay for now. But thanks, though. :)

Sweet chicken! What do you work as? Good for you :)

That doesn't sound like a very good idea at all. Going more than a day without food does have some negative effects on your body and if you push this too far you may start to feel "weird". Your body needs food.

Everyones already tried all the obviously good ideas and they've reported their results. Those ideas are done and useless now. We need new ones. This one isn't new either.

The only other idea I have that hasn't been done is to create a non-symbolic/word based language. But nobody seems to want to help.

I'm going to try and do it this weekend.

Current ailments

Sore left nipple. Thats all. I'm pretty sure its unrelated as well.

Hmm things may be tricky kinda soon

I've been invited to a family dinner this Sunday. Obviously i'll have to decline but its a shame I guess. Also, my stomach just cramped pretty bad, it was kind sore until I went to the toilet and it turned out to be trapped gas.

This has been a walk in the park so far, but I expect tomorrow morning might be hard.

I'm attempting to think of some sort of system I can use to act as proof that i've not cheated. Anyone got any ideas? I'm all for 'em.

I'm not going to die. The human body is designed to cope without food for long periods of time. It's actually over-consumption thats more likely to kill me.

Also, if I really do feel on deaths door, i'll have some porridge.

Try fisting instead. It sounds almost the same, but you can eat, and you will probably enjoy it more than starving.
