I take coffee like I took
omega 3 supplements four months ago. Is that bad? Yeah, yeah, that’s really bad. I know recovering addicts are supposed to avoid any of the usual suspects. That includes any alcohol of any kind at any time. Obviously all uppers, downers, softies, hard packers, and grinders. But it also means no sex, not even dating. It means no gambling. It means no COFFEE, no COFFEEEEEEE. And man did I fall off that bandwagon. I’ve been putting down five, seven, twelve cups a day. They’re small cups, right, that’s my trick, they’re flippin’ dixie cups and when a dixie cup’s all the way full, it’s really only half full because those puppies hold nothing, I couldn’t fit two thumbs inside.
So I have twelve dixie cups of coffee a day. OH, yeah, I can tell the time of day by the numer of brownish, softened, moist dixie cups lying around my desk. There’s three there right now and one on the floor which means it still must be pretty early in the day. Or early for me, though I don’t know difference and I don’t care.
I’ll be entirely honest, I’m a little buzzed right now. I haven’t stopped typing since I started. Is that the caffeine. Reminds me of my speed days, when I’d do enough to keep me going for 42 hours and I have some foreman’s test or maybe it was community college, and I’d fill out every answer to the entire test on one line. Brilliant stuff as it was coming out, but when I was done it was just one big graphite smear across the top line of the Bluebook right after “Name:” That’s right, my name included all the answers and just so, nobody could read it, probably for the better. They shouldn’t be barging in on my thoughts anyway. Have you ever seen a speed freak with washboard abs? How about a coffee guzzling rehab baby? Yeah, me neither.
So learn about the benefits of vitamins and then go buy vitamin. That’s what I’d do, except I’ve got an important appointment with a perkolator, so it’ll have to wait.
