My Left Foot

I just watched the most amazing movie last. I was already a big Daniel Day-Lewis fan. He really outdoes himself in this movie. My Left Foot is the true story of Christy Brown, an irishman born with cerebral palsy. He was thought to be mentally deficit until one day when he grabbed a piece of chalk from his sister with his left foot and wrote the word mother on the floor. He lived to be almost 50 years old. This is the story of his joys, disappointments and accomplishments. He lived to be a great painter, writer and husband before his death. He was one of 13 surviving children in his family.

This card was snapped up quickly on Flickr. However, I just had to post it. I love this dragonfly/bird mutation thingy.

Iggy Pop trading cards. Anyone interested? He is certainly a "wild one".

Raw...Here we go again!

O.K. this post is getting a bit too familiar. At least I am having a bit of success again. Last week I committed to a 5 day banana fast. Yes, that is correct. 5 days of bananas and water. It went well. After the first day my mind was clear my body felt light and I was feeling great. By day 5, I had a salad for lunch, but that was ok. I chose wisely. Salsa instead of salad dressing, no cheese, no meat. Since the fast has concluded I have been about 85% raw and I plan to keep it that way. I am striving for 95-100% raw. I lost 8 pounds during my fast and have kept 4 off. I must conclude that a good deal was water. I plan to do the banana thingy again next week. It just felt good to feel so clean, inside as well as out.
