That was pretty special. Imagine how it changed him, imagine how he sees life.
(Looks like he scored a nice girl along the way and went off to an island for a dirty week. That's cheating, but fair play.)Life is not lift served.

fuckin' quitter's web site is down.
how it's really done
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2...hon-monk_x.htm
A rigorous regimen dictates that in each of the journey's first three years, the pilgrim must rise at midnight for 100 consecutive days to pray, run along an 18-mile trail around Mount Hiei — stopping 250 times to pray along the way. He can carry only candles, a prayer book and a sack of vegetarian food.
In the next two years, he has to extend his runs to 200 days.
In the winter, the pilgrim runner takes a break and spends the days doing temple chores.
His most difficult trial, however, comes during the fifth year when he must sit and chant mantras for nine days without food, water or sleep, in a trial called "doiri," or "entering the temple."
In the sixth year, he walks 37.5 miles every day for 100 days. And in the seventh, he goes 52.5 miles for 100 days and then 18 miles for another 100 days, before returning to the temple, located in Otsu city, about 234 miles southwest of Tokyo
just kidding btw.

Wow. That made my night. Thanks. Watch it a couple times, I definitely saw more in the back ground than I saw on the first pass.
Dig the song. Anyone know what it is?

He took a holiday on a distant tropical island with some hottie. He then flew back and resumed his epic.

If you go to his site, he briefly explains what went on during the trip and the video. Originally Posted by commonlaw

I'm jealous. Jealous he has the guts to do that. After living in Israel for a bit I am DONE with deserts, and camels come to think of it. What an awesome video, journey and ongoing list of experiences. That is one amazing person and one kickass song.
Take it easy ... if it's easy take it twice.

Wow, that was killer. My wife and I just got back from a year-long honeymoon around the world, but although we did a lot of walking, it was nothing in the vicinity of 5,000km.
