I am so hungry (Ramadhan is here)

Post by CM »

Well its 11:20 here in Geneva and i am hungry. Its ramadhan now well today is the first day so 30 more days of fasting for roughly 10 hours. Plus as i am solo i dont get up before sunrise so i basically have dinner and sleep and have dinner the next day. Thus i am hungry. Also as I have to be pious this one month out of the entire year, no curse, discussing sexual issues you get the idea. Its gonna be one tough month.

Plus i am extremely bored at work. So anybody wanna spam?

Good ol' Denmark is gray. Really gray.
It's as if someone has taken a photo and has then proceeded to desaturate it. Looking out my window there is not one bright color.
Actually, I kind of like it.

:( yeah i am getting fat but this will be a great time to lose it. Ton of people lose weight this month. Thanks you two and your lunch ideas. The best part of ramadhan? 6 hour working days! :D 9 to 3. I usually get in at 10 :D So even better. Gaming will keep my mind off food when i get home.

Just checked the timings it isnt 10 hours, it is 13 hours. Good god. :rolleyes:

What's the ramadhan all about? Besides the fasting, I mean. Why do you have to fast? Are you allowed to eat only once a day? No drinks, either? And for how long?

Guys, it's really not nice to talk about pizzas when he's so hungry :mad:

Look on the bright side of it, CM. You'll loose some weight, that will give you (even) more self-confidence. And it will strengthen your will, too. I suppose it's not the first time you do this, is it?

No eating or drinking anything between sunrise and sunset.Afterwards you can eat. But no gluttony. Also no cursing, no sexual intercourse. No sinful actions whatsoever. I cant even crack a sexual joke. Oh yeah praying 5 times a day every day.

I have enough self-confidence it borders on arrogance :D That is not an issue, the issue is my family has a history of diseases linked to overweight.

Well, my other suggestion would be to watch a round of political ads, but that would run the risk of causing temporary insanity, so the Weasel suggestion was better, IMO. :p

No sex for a whole month? :confused: Oh, man...

I'm sure I wouldn't be able not to eat anything all day. I'd surely faint. And I wouldn't be able to get up before surise for breakfast, either... Tough thing, ramadhan.

So what's the purpose of this all? A reminder of an event, or are you preaparing for something (the celebration you mentioned)? So you don't celebrate Christmas at all?
