Turns out that was just a hoax.

July 8, 2007

Apparently someone was either screwing with me or was drastically misinformed.  Paris Hilton has likely never even heard of the thirty-hour day, much less is she considering adopting it.  Too bad, she could probably benefit from it.  Anyway, things have been rolling along well for me.  My body has really adapted well.  Timing of meals is tough.  I have taken to eating a light breakfast, then a big lunch, a snack-meal between lunch and dinner, then a normal dinner.  I gained some weight while I was transitioning to the thirty-hour cycle, but that’s because I was eating 4 big meals every “day”.  Plus, I was eating my last meal, my second dinner, right before going to bed.  Also, I have not been good about working out.  I need to hit they gym in order to lose these extra lbs.  Maybe I will head over there later today.

 In any case, I am happy to be living the thirty-hour life.  Also, this week I am heading back to that client I mentioned earlier, and I have been told that the intern will be at the meeting.  I am excited but nervous.  She’s so hot.  She looks old to be an intern, like mid-twenties.  I am guessing she may be getting her MBA, but I will try to find out on Wednedsay.

Paris Hilton May Be Off The Thirty Hour Day Bandwagon.

July 7, 2007

Now I hear that Paris may not be converting to a thirty-hour day.  I don’t know if it was just an unsubstantiated rumor, or if she was planning on living the life but changed her mind.  Anyway, I am going to continue doing it.  I know I haven’t written much, but I am still living the life.  I am working on getting a clock so that everyone who checks in here can see what time of “day” it is for me, regardless of the light-cycle.  I will try to write more, but in the mean time, if Paris or anyone else is interested in learning more about the thirty hour day concept, post a comment here or e-mail me at steve@thirtyhours.com.

Paris Hilton to Consider 30-Hour Day

July 6, 2007

Rumor has it that after her stint in the pen, and her short vacation in Hawaii, Paris Hilton is now considering adopting a thirty hour day.  I am not sure how she got the idea, but obviously, I am supportive of it.  I plan to be there for her and help her through the rough “days”.  I am excited about this, since it will obviously lead to additional publicity for the cause if she goes through with it…

Ugh.

So I went out with my friends on Saturdaynight, even though I woke up that day at like 7 PM your time.  We were out until like 3 AM, but then I was so drunk I just passed out.  That has fucked up my time cycle something fierce.  I tried to adjust it on Sunday and Monday, but I am all screwed up now.  I can’t even figure out if I am supposed to be awake or asleep.  I am tired, but I need to stay up.  I think I am going to go play poker right now.  That always helps.

Things are going well…

Not much to report.  My body is settling into the routine quite nicely.  I have been playing a lot of poker recently.  The cards have been running good for me.  I have been pretty lucky in the cash games.  I have told several people at the poker tables about the thirty-hour life.  They seem pretty understanding and supportive, for the most part.  Several people have told me that I must be crazy.  Females generally find it less interesting, same with older people.  Most guys think it’s interesting, but nobody seems so intrigued that they are willing to give it a try.  Anyway, I met this girl the other day at work.  She’s an intern for one of my clients.  She is hot and really friendly.  I am going back there in a couple weeks.  I hope she is in on the meeting.  If she is, I think I will try to ask her out.  I am lame as shit though, and I don’t know how to approach her.  Oh well, I will try to figure something out.  Anyway, I don’t have much to report as far as the thirty-hour cycle goes…

I knew I wasn’t the only one!

Some guy found my blog and he seems really into the thirty hour day.  He could be fucking with me, but he seems sincere.  I think he may have been thinking about it even more than I in recent years.   He claims to have a way to make it so that everyone can be on a thirty hour cycle.  He may be a little bit “out there”…  (No offense, I am just kidding with you!)  Anyway, he also said he has a plan to get some sort of funding in order to study this theory on a large base of people.  Not that he has the funding in order or the plan in place, but he kind of jokingly said that he thinks it would be awesome to get funding for that kind of study.  I obviously couldn’t agree with him more.  Anyway, if he’s serious, this guy is a true believer, obviously.  He said there is some guy in Sweden who has a website that mentions this too, but they guy isn’t living the life, he just believes in it.  It would seem that a place like Sweden would be perfect for this.  Don’t they have months of sunshine and months of darkness, like up by the arctic circle?

Rough Day.

June 11, 2007

Today was another tough one.  I attribute this more to the alcohol that I consumed than to the thirty hour day-cycle.  Anyway, I made it through.  I am not as young as I used to be.  I had another couple meetings today.  Business has been picking up, which is good.  I am going to go play some poker now.  Tournament at 6:45 (your time).

 I almost forgot.  I was contacted today by a guy who seems to be a believer in the thirty hour day.  He seemed sincere, but I am not sure if he is fucking with me or what.  Anyway, somehow he saw my blog and he says he thought of the same thing in college.  I will talk to him about his theories and about my experiences with living this life.

Hangovers are still real, even on a thirty hour cycle.

I think that pretty much says it all, although the extra couple hours of sleep probably helped mitigate the pain and prevented me from getting sick.

Woohoo!

I got a new client today.  I met with them late this afternoon and the CEO asked me to go out for drinks and a bite to eat.  I already had to stay up too late for the meeting.   Anyway, I decided to stay up later.  I’ve been up for 26 hours so far and i am kinda drunk.  Anyway, I got the job.l  I am pretty excited.  I really need to get to slee though.  This is going to fuck up my sleep cycle, but hopefully I can catch up tomorrow.  That shouldnt’ be a problem.  Alright.  I am beat.  This is working though, I can tell you that much.  I am excited.

This is better.

I have had a few rough days, but I feel better now.  Today was mostly in the daylight.  I spent some time outside, then worked on a new project for an old client once it got dark.  It was nice to be outside, but my mind was starting to play tricks on me.  I guess I am still adjusting to this schedule.  Once I settled in and took some ritalin, getting the work done wasn’t that bad.  I got into a pretty good groove and it worked out fine.  Tomorrow I have a couple afternoon meetings with clients, and they start shortly after I get up, so I am hopeful that I will be back on track for that.

I know that I said a professional poker player was the perfect career for this lifestyle, and I still believe that, but I think being an author would work too.  You just would need to have discipline.  I have been losing my ass at poker, so I think maybe I should consider not making that my career path for right now.  Anyway, I gotta get some sleep pretty soon.  I am not that tired right now, but I know I need to work on being diciplined about it, or this will never work.  I ordered blackout shades.  I think I will go to The Home Depot and try to find a portable air conditioner this weekend.
