40 hour famine

Posted by RhysAndrews on Aug. 18, 2006, 2:01 a.m.

Recently I decided to do the 40 hour famine… But I think starving yourself is a stupid thing to do, so i'm going 40 hours without talking. Yeah, this is actually going to be harder than eating because you can accidentally talk, but you can't "accidentally eat", that's unless you bite your tongue, of course. Annoying too, because i've only raised 50 bucks. Meh, apparently that feeds 8 kids for 2 months though. My friend asked me if she could build me a box, put it in her laundry, and have me not get out of it for 40 hours, but I tihnk that'll have to wait till next year.

In other news, I've submitted a new blog! That's pretty cool. In fact, you're reading it as we speak…. yeah. I'm also downloading a ton of music, and i've bought a ton of music. I'm downloading 5 gigs of Dream Theater bootlegs, I've downloaded Dream Theater doing a Pink Floyd album in it's entirety, Dream Theater doing an Iron Maiden album in it's entirety, and Dream Theater doing a Metallica album in it's entirety, and besides the vocals, the songs are played 10X better. Then I bought a 3-CD John Lee Hooker Album, oh, and a Tool album.

FINALLY… IM GOING TO G3!! G3!!!!!!!! G3 is like the best concert I could go to! It's Joe Satriani (guitarist, taught Kirk Hammet from Metallica and Steve Vai from Whitesnake), Steve Vai, and John Petrucci (FROM DREAM THEATER!!) improvising on their guitar together, pretty much jamming. They're playing in Sydney, and you can bet your jolly knackers i'm going to do what it takes to get there. I love it!

If you think PF kicks ass (which they do), you should see Dream Theater doing PF's music. They do it millions of times better.

I could go 40 hours without talking easily, but eating or staying in a box… I'd go pretty insane.

Trust me, 40 hours without talking isn't easy. I said goodnight to my mother, and I kept talking to myself under my breath (I didn't realise how much I do it =)).

Yeah, but I don't have many people to talk to, so I'm sure I could do it if it doesn't include typing/writing.
