Goddamn, I love doubleshot espressos.

I cannot make my foot stop jumping.

So, I had a lot o' fun tonight. Got coffeed up, talked some philosophy, drove home in the light of a crescent moon, windows down and the breeze creeping up my scarf.

I should frequent Coffee Affair more often.

Wondyful night, I must say.

 

i've been readin' up on all kinds of philosophy today

or at least, all kinds of philosophical type readings and or theories

i feel...swirly

 

Doubleshot Expresso's are nice. Just to little for 2 dollars!!!

I haven't had one in a while though. Mainly, because I can buy a Monster Energy drink for the same price which is like 4 times the size a Doubleshot is.

 

I had a slapyourmotherfantastic night.

I danced for three hours at the school halloween dance.

And I dressed up as a flapper.

aghhhhhhhhhh

And I get to do it all over again on Friday. Except, with rum.

 

Snort more coke.

 

Hey coney island, are you a southern hemispheric as well? you always seem 2 be on here at the same time as me

 

ew, straight espresso is too intense. I love mochachino's with an extra shot of espresso though, chocolatey caffeine filled goodness!

 

A joint would've made it better.

 

The good bits


The main effect of caffeine on the body is as a stimulant to the central nervous system. Caffeine is associated with an increase in intellectual activity, but this only appears to be significant if the person is tired or bored. In these situations, however, it certainly makes people feel more alert and less fatigued. Coffee after lunch helps to counteract the common 'dip' in concentration. Caffeine has also been shown to be beneficial to night workers. Caffeinated coffee can also help to prevent road accidents, according to the Sleep Research Laboratory at University of Loughborough
There is strong evidence that coffee has a protective effect against the development of colon cancer, if more than four cups a day are drunk. Higher intakes may give more protection
Coffee contains anti-oxidant chemicals, and so may have a role in the prevention of heart disease and certain cancers, although these benefits are theoretical, and as yet unconfirmed
Caffeine has a beneficial affect on airways constriction in asthma sufferers, but the intake needs to be quite high to moderate an asthma attack
There is some evidence to suggest that coffee may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and gallstones.




The bad bits
Women who drink caffeinated products lose more calcium in their urine and tend to have less dense bones than non-caffeine drinkers. This may increase the risk of osteoporosis in susceptible women. It has been suggested that women should drink at least one glass of milk a day for every two cups of coffee, to try to offset the calcium loss
Caffeine increases secretion of stomach acid, which is how it aids digestion as an after-meal drink. However, this acid-secreting property is bad news for people with acidity symptoms or stomach ulcers
Caffeine aggravates pre-menstrual breast pain in a significant number of sufferers
Caffeine can aggravate insomnia
Women who drink more than four cups of coffee a day have twice the risk of urinary incontinence compared with women who drink little or no coffee
Caffeine withdrawal can produce unpleasant headaches and shakiness
Coffee contains many carcinogens, whether or not it is decaffeinated. There is, however, no strong evidence of an increased risk of cancers in coffee drinkers
Coffee pumps up our stress hormones, and can cause palpitations, a rise in blood pressure and symptoms of anxiety.

 

Well, shit. Osteoperosis can kiss my ass.

Whatcha read, Reechie?

 

stuff about existentialism

and something about creative dissociation and near death experiences in a book called Broken Images, Broken Selves by S. Krippner

it's a book about dissociation

oh and some stuff about Philip K. Dick, and most of his essay How to Build a Universe that Doesn't Fall Apart in Two Days

the parts where he's talking about the strange coincidences that happened to him after he had written Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said


oh yeah again, i also read up on Surrealism

yesterday was quite interesting

 

Ahhh....double (or triple) straight shots of espresso are the best. Why alter the taste of good shots with milk and such. Espresso shots keep you young (that's why I can still post in the young hippies forum). My wife and I have long been doing what we call hippie speedballs. A hippie sppedball is three shots of espresso and a spliff (or bong or bowl).
