And We're Bugger All Down Here on Earth

This was stolen from Andrew on his 4th Avenue Blues Blog.



Carl Sagan said, "That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

No Caffeine and No Soda Make AJ Go Crazy

I seriously do not remember the last time I had a caffeinated beverage. I started drinking soda of the lemon-lime variety around Christmas but soon decided to cut out soda all together. All I really want is a cup of coffee... or five. Maybe a quick shot of espresso. No one will notice right? Fuck it. I made a commitment and I will stick to it. It's been a week without soda and even longer without caffeine. Like a smoker who quits cold-turkey, I am cranky as hell. Your best bet, really, is to just nod and smile and make sure I am happy. Guys, I will probably punch you in the throat while shouting, "Winner winner chicken dinner," if you get out of line. Girls... well.. I can think of a lot of ways you can keep me happy. Hell... hike up that skirt a little bit and I'll forget al about that steaming hot cup of coffee.... mmmmmm... coffee.. NO!!! Forget the coffee you weak minded prick.

Never fear. I have not given up beer... yet. Wait... does beer have caffeine? It always makes me sleepy or at least makes me want to sleep with somebody.

This headache is unreal. Seriously, no caffeine and I still can't sleep. There is something wrong with me, but we all knew that already.
