Coffee fights depression - who knew?
Good for ADHD too.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Poetic justice for teens who trashed Frost home
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. - Call it poetic justice: More than two dozen young people who broke into Robert Frost’s former home for a beer party and trashed the place are being required to take classes in his poetry as part of their punishment.
Using “The Road Not Taken” and another poem as jumping-off points, Frost biographer Jay Parini hopes to show the vandals the error of their ways — and the redemptive power of poetry.
“I guess I was thinking that if these teens had a better understanding of who Robert Frost was and his contribution to our society, that they would be more respectful of other people’s property in the future and would also learn something from the experience,” said prosecutor John Quinn.
Good luck with that....

I did. I knew.
But wouldn't you get bounce-back effect when the caffeine wears off?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Power went out here for about thirty seconds. Sadly, it came back on.

I had always thought that in the long run, stimulant use can leave you more depressed.

Then you apply more caffeine.

But then you build up a tolerance, and you just need more and more. Then one day you can't find your coffee and you flip out and trash your place....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Or even an unusual one.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Can, yes. But for me, caffeine helps me in the run-up to the day, and hopefully I don't need it once I get engaged in the day. It's just necessary to get out of the "I don't want to be awake and functioning" funk I have most mornings.
