can't get no sleep...

yum :)
so the first two are what I drank last night. yup, both of 'em. hence the not getting any sleep >.< I foresee more of the stuff in my future to get through the day...
at the moment probably my favorite energy drinks among the myriad varieties available. rockstar apparently has a guava version as well, which I really would like to try.

cricket cola- I guess it doesn't qualify as an energy drink though it works well for me in that capacity. It's unique and very tasty, a cola drink boasting natural caffeine and green tea, giving it a unique taste and, at least for me, causing a unique sort of stimulation that felt different from the boost I get from other caffeine beverages. It might sound odd but the boost felt more cheerful/balanced. :) something like that. I haven't found it at many places in my are yet but fortunately there are some cafes nearby that have it, also, apparently b/c the owner of the chain is friends with someone among those responsible for the cola, the Potbelly Sandwich Works chain carries it in at least some of their stores. I'm hoping to see it more widely available, it being awesome and all. :)

If you're interesting in reading a heck of alot more on all the different energy drinks on the market, I found this energy review site where hundreds of such drinks have been reviewed, including alcoholic varieties such as sparks, four, and my personal favorite, tilt. -- click here to voyage deep into energy drink review land


I had further plans for this post but it's getting close to work going time and I must prepare more sleep-deprivation + energy drink overload addled self...

"just like old times"

were reading the old posts from 05 and thinking i seemed to think a bit more creatively then.
but i think at the time my thoughts were that i was whining too much too redundantly too repetitiously

the even more frustrating would be in the it's not no different now and it's actually worse perhaps

f*cking up jobs over and again after finally f*cking up the school possibly unfixably

the head still hurts and i'm still thirsty
and still angry
and still unhealthy

my Mom passed away last year

i might be on the verge of homelessness all depending on if my landlord will be very very patient and if i can get my damnhell shit together and get some damnhell rent $$ together

have just began a mood stabilizer called depakote even though i am not too sure i am full with enough swinging back and forth of moods to need it but guess the psychiatrist i saw last week thought it would help

am supposed to possibly participate in something called dialectical behavioral therapy but damnhell psych. chick still hasn't contacted me 'bout it

on food stamps

gonna be seeing a psychologist too guy i was seeing last summer afore i got myself shoved off the medical assistance not sure it helps but i like talking with him

my brain is going to explode

the contemplation of finding some way to get rid of it just hack it or smash it to bits pervades my thinkings over and ever more and more it seems

i wish i had tattoos

lacking color, limbs, or time?

some miscellaneous miscellany encountered in the past few days - -


one hundred 'n' thirty some cats- The short video here makes me think of what I'd imagine a cat mosh pit looking like. I might have to try to download the clip somehows and put that bit to some crazy music. Happily, despite the crowded conditions, the cats in the video look remarkably healthy, happy, and clean as does the flat. It seems plausible they are better off there than roaming the streets of whatever Russian city this is in?



d.i.y. prosthetics! - "the Open Prosthetics Project" - I've only glanced a bit over this site but it looks quite interesting, and I think what they are doing is awesome. The point is to share innovations in prosthetics for free, because "prosthetics shouldn't cost an arm and a leg". And even for those of us with no need for a prosthetic, it is interesting simply in the way of looking at ways mechanized whatnot can be made to imitate human movements/functions, if you're interested in taht sort of thing, or maybe just into neat gadgets and gizmos in general. Or if you happened to be someone into making any sort of robotic or such thing and wanted it to have human-like functions/movements
it seems like this could be a pretty useful resource for you.



"the Worst Album Covers of All Time!" - I don't agree with all the site user's choices and comments but there are some pretty funny/weird/interesting covers posted here, worth a browsing.



Wikipedia page collecting "unusual articles" - this is rad! links to all sorts of wikipedia entries on odd places/things/topics collected on one page!



"the best pictures always lack color" - big database 'o' black and white photos which you can bring up at random if you'd like, and also you can rate them if you'd like. Seems to have a lot of cool photos.



compendium of user-designed and contributed icons, avatars, and emoticons, also away msg suggestions for instant msgngrs.



a couple things I happened across by chance that I haven't heard of before and really want to read:

Momo by Michael Ende - about a young girl that saves the world from time thieves, by the guy responsible for "the Neverending Story" which I previously hadn't realized was based on a book, nor did I know
whom the originator of the story was.


the Shadow Children Sequence by Margaret Peterson Haddix - A series of 7 books following the life of a "shadow child", a third child in a world where population is rigidly controlled and families are allowed no more than two offspring- if they have more, the child/children are killed if discovered.

Here is a review of
the first two books, from sci-fi author Orson Scott Card's "Uncle Orson Reviews Everything" column, which is also seemingly a worthwhile read in general(this is my first encounter with it).



This is it for now, being as I must wash-up and scamper hurriedly to work. Thanks for stopping by.
Planning on some major editing of this site soon as many of the pictures and links in the olden posts are null or too damn big and some elements of the site appear to be a total mess in my browser. So keep an eye on us! :)
