Wholesome 8===D

Spike Shooter, my new favorite energy drink, is being banned in Colorado High Schools because parents are reactionary and have this retarded logic that if someone can't handle something then no one should be able to have it. We trust 16 year olds to buy gasoline everyday, they put it in their cars and rarely set themselves on fire with it -- the benefits outweigh the potential risks.

Ironically, it seems in these institutions dedicated to learning, there are very few people interested in the science behind caffeine usage. Fortunately, there are educated people in the world who can explain the effects of caffeine on the brain. Then those people can be recorded, hipped up, and put on Current TV. Watch this:

The bottom line is that just like smokers tend to be more edgy than other people, and smoking clams them down, "caffeine addicts" tend be kind of understimulated and caffeine helps their brains work a little better. Many of them probably have AD/HD or have symptoms similar to it.

Now, I'm not saying that there aren't other/better ways to deal with anger and concentration problems. But, if you're going to have The Man start taking crutches away from cripples, you -- at the very least -- need to give them something else to help them walk or you're just a smug sadistic asshole.

I'd love to live a caffeine free life. I really would. Given the choice I'm sure most smokers would like to quit too. But, cigarettes and caffeine become a kind of addictive coping mechanism that helps their users get through the day.

It's like with everything else, society has to try and punish people who are different -- even when they're not hurting anyone.

Well, fuck you society. All we're trying to do is get by, and all you're trying to do is make the world fit your myopic model of how people should behave for your own selfish / neurotic / control-freakish reasons. Learn to let go. Learn to let sleeping dogs lie. Worry about yourself and stop worrying about other people.

If I start breaking in to cars and stealing stereos to pay for Spike, then you'll have an argument and I'll go to or start "Spike Shooters Anonymous" meetings. But until then, I want my fucking energy drinks.

I just chugged a can of a new (at least I've never see it until today) energy drink SPIKE. It seemed promising because it has all of these warnings on it:

RECOMMENDED USE: Begin use with one half can daily to determine tolerance. Never exceed one can daily.

CAUTION: This product contains strong stimulants and should not be combined with any other stimulant or fat-loss product

Now, generally, these kinds of warnings are a way to tell when you've found good shit. In this case, they may just be clever marketing. I think the only way to find out is to buy another can, drink it, and see if I die.



If I never post here again, I can assure you that Spike Shooter really is good shit.

UPDATE: I'm still alive, but my feet are sweaty.
