Caffeine Fright
2003-07-17 | 9:51 p.m.
I've had a can of coke and a large designer iced espresso drink. I should be jumping off the walls, but instead I'm feeling overwhelmingly paranoid. Caffeine makes me jittery, nervous and ultra sensitive. On top of that, the dang drug has the gall to keep me awake and, thus, make me more aware of the fact that I'm jittery, nervous and ultra sensitive, forcing my mental engines to work on overdrive. This is a drug like no other. And it's funny, when I was sucking up the last trail of the iced neopolitan drink (courtesy of the Roasterie Too) on the patio, so many wonderful ideas ran through my head. They sprinted, in fact, sprinted so quickly that I was barely given the opportunity to search through my backpack for a pen that was non-existent.
I ended up pouting and crossing my arms in anger. I could probably have had the answer to all the world's philosophical questions, but I neglected to bring a pen! What injustice in this world! For all the sufferers in the world, I apologize. I was thisclose to solving everything, but too bad so sad.
Now, the remaining symptoms are of the negative sort. I am questioning everything. I am doubting everything. I am wondering if I pink really is my colour. I'm wondering if there is any point to anything.
And then I tell myself that I should never curse my body with that evil item beginning with "C" again. Huzza huzza. I shiver at the thought. Lest I bring you yet another pointless entry.
