I don't think anyone could do it just out of nowhere. It would take a few weeks off here and there to actually perfect it to prepare for a year of nothing. And the name of the movie is "40 Days and 40 Nights" with actor Josh Hartnett. I enjoyed that movie myself because it was funny, but mostly because of how adorable Shannyn Sossamon looked in it. As for living in 1984, well, i was only 3 years old during 1984, so, i guess the lack of a computer or other enjoyable electrical appliances/devices we take for granted nowadays wouldn't really matter to me, but if i was an adult, well, id pry be just an average person, playin sports with my friends, goin to work, reading, etc. Well Lisa, good luck if you actually want to go celibate for a year, or if you are actually looking to have sex as soon as possible, good luck with that too. God bless with your cancer situation, glad to see it's doing better. Keep on rockin and rollin!!
