Caffience and Others ways to stay awake.

Considering I worked at Starbucks for a few months and otherwise have quite a loving for the caffeinated bean I thought I'd right a lil something about coffee and the assorted other ways to stay up.
(Do note I'm no expert and I don't have a ton of experience so take what I say with a grain of salt)

Coffee for me has always been something to "help" stay awake. I never use it as a crutch to stay awake past healthy limits. That means if I've been up 18 hours straight and if I stayed up another 4 I could finish some homework...I'd totally just go to sleep and not force myself awake with coffee.
For me coffee is a nice beverage with breakfast or anytime really to perk yourself up though at times I drink it because I like the taste of it and nothing else. On that note I really should get myself a canister of decaf insta-coffee one of these days.

How do I like coffee? Usually a mild roast, cream/milk, a spoon of sugar and that's it. Though I'm notorious to have my head turned by the odd Mochafrappuchino which is purely from the lovely chocolate taste and the fact they put coffee in there too.
Another type of coffee I've liked for some time now is a type of instant-coffee. This stuff is asian of origins as it's made with types of asian roots ground into the instant coffee. Usually it's ginseng and others with some other types of ginseng or something else that keeps you up. Though I've heard that the ones I've been drinking is classed as the ones "for men" and there's others "for women". Apparently, the two types are kinda your pre-sex beverage as it supposed to perk you up and energize you for the activity. As for the validity of this? No clue, it tastes like nice coffee and that's it. So no proof on the Coffee Viagra there.

As for coffee's hill billy cousin the energy drink? Not much to say here really since the most I've tried has been the Starbucks's energy drink and Jolt Cola. Other then that I've seen the new stuff has that dangerous chemical that artificially speeds up your heart rate. So I've mostly turned down the stuff for it's safer alternative coffee.

Once again into the trenches of blogs!

A long time ago I had a Live Journal page. That was kind of a random posting board of my rants of everyday life which was kinda sad looking so I eventually gave it to the Executioner to deal with and it went *Poof*.

Considering I have so many things going on now a days I thought I'd head back into the whole blogging thing and hopefully have this blog a bit more filled out with material the odd person might find useful or just interesting.

I will have this said once and only once, though I expect to have to say this many times more, this is just an internet blog. I'm not one of those jerks who goes around revealing secrets, backstabbing people, or just plain being an idiot. So don't expect any juicy gossip from my relationship or anything along that lines.

I'll also mention the fundamental rule of these king of blogs: "Don't take it seriously."
I'm possibly going to go on odd rants about why girls wear those yoga pants so tight it gives them nutritional fibre or why do guys still wear super baggy jeans like their stealing kitchen sinks or whatever so have a read and have fun.
