Day 4

Hopefully all of you were able to call in sick today and get some sleep, but if not, that's pretty hard core. Good for you! Listen, Day 4 is not for the weak of heart. In fact, I have had to change it quite a bit over the last few years. When I started my career, Day 4 ended up being a three day event, that took one day for my students to perform. Even though Day 4 is still very similar, there are some major differences, but they are small enough that you wouldn't really notice. I use to have people pick what their favorite animal was (a dog, a tiger, a bald eagle, a goat, a cat, panda bear, etc...), then I would have them go get this animal. For some, this was easy, they just went to their back yard and grabbed 'Bongo' from the kennel. For others, not so easy. Just imagine, if your favorite animal was a snow leopard, or a Polar Bear (Let's just say it was a challenge to complete this in one day for some). I would then have them go buy mini bottles of alcohol (one for each rabbit), string, clasps, a bell and small hand drill. I would then have my students drink a bottle, and put a piece of paper with one rabbit in it and seal the cap. Then take the drill and put a hole at the top of the cap, run the string through attach the clasps and make a necklace. Then take this necklace and put it around your favorite animal's neck ( good luck if you like snakes). With each new necklace you make, you have to ring the bell before putting it on your pet. You then need to dig a hole and put your animal in it. The idea is that you then bury this animal alive. Well, after multiple law suits and activists doing marches in my driveway. But you would attach so much pain with your rabbits, because they killed your favorite animal that it was very symbolic way to rid yourself of the pain, plus you didn't have to hurt anyone doing it. Instead, Day 4 requires the same necklace making and bell ringing, but instead putting it around an animal's neck, put it around your own. Look in a mirror and yell "Die Rabbit, You SUCK!" with each one. Afterwards, go sit in a hole in your back yard and think about what you've done. Remember, you're pretending you're in a rabbit hole, so if you need to wear a tail, then do it. Have some one fill the hole up to your neck, obviously if they bury you alive, your rabbits will be gone, but you won't be able to live the life you are capable of. While sitting there, imagine yourself killing the rabbits in the way in which you envisioned (by the way, send hate mail to animal groups when ever you get a chance).
