Only water for me- no cigarettes, no food, nothing but water.  So far today I&#8217;ve drank 2 liters of water, and I&#8217;ll probably drink another 4 more (at least).  So why fast?  Well my friend David of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superstarsoflove.com\"target=_blank>the Superstars of Love<\/a> explained to me that he would fast a couple times a year to cleanse out some of the toxins in his body.  I am really concentrating on using fasting as a vehicle to expel a variety of toxins from my body- including nicotine.  David said it helped him, and I think it makes sense- your body will crave food not cigarettes.  Also, historically humans did not eat three square meals a day, sometimes not even one square meal a day, and I think its important for my body to experience the absence of food.  David did mention that on the third day of his fast he&#8217;d get kinda high in that natural, vision-quest kinda way.  I&#8217;m excited to see how it turns out.  For some more info about fasting read <a href=\"http:\/\/channels.apollolife.com\/show.asp?NewAid=9555\"target=_blank>this<\/a>.  Also, last week I ate a 75% vegan diet, which should help me out somewhat in the dietary transition.<\/p>\n<p>As for the new renderings, I am very happy with both of the newest ones of Brussels, however the &#8220;spiral&#8221; rendering has an &#8220;error&#8221; on the left side of the image.  For some reason the texture does not look right.  However, the other one has a nicely reflected texture.  Version 4.0 will be up shortly.  I wonder what satellite image I&#8217;ll use next.  I think I might use one of the images from Athens, Greece in honor of the Olympics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight Adam Eidinger will on Hardball with Chris Matthews (7pm on DC channel 64).
