-[bitter/white ‘crystalline xanthine’ alkaloid] that is a [psycho-active stimulant drug]-

(‘caffeine’ was ‘discovered’ by german chemist ‘friedrich ferdinand runge’ in ‘1819’)

(he coined the term kaffein, a ‘chemical compound’ in ‘coffee’ (the german word for which is “kaffee”), which in ‘english’ became ‘caffeine’)

(‘caffeine’ is found in varying quantities in the ‘beans’, ‘leaves’, and ‘fruit’ of some ‘plants’, where it acts as a ‘natural pesticide’ that ‘paralyzes’ and ‘kills’ certain ‘insects’ feeding on the ‘plants’)

(so shall we try the same on our own ‘human insects’?)

(force gallons of scalding hot coffee down their forcibly opened throats)

(“our finest hour is at hand!”)

(it is most commonly consumed by ‘humans’ in ‘infusions’ extracted from the ‘cherries’ of the ‘coffee plant’ and the leaves of the ‘tea bush’, as well as from various ‘foods’ and ‘drinks’ containing products derived from the ‘kola nut’)

(other sources include ‘yerba mate’, ‘guarana berries’, and the ‘yaupon holly’)

(in humans, ‘caffeine’ is a ‘central nervous system’ (CNS) stimulant, having the effect of temporarily warding off ‘drowsiness’ and restoring ‘alertness’)

(beverages containing ‘caffeine’ (such as ‘coffee’, ‘tea’, ‘soft drinks’, and ‘energy drinks’) enjoy great popularity)

(‘caffeine’ is the world’s most widely consumed ‘psychoactive substance’, but, unlike many other ‘psychoactive substances’, it is ‘legal’ and ‘unregulated’ in nearly ALL ‘jurisdictions’)

(in ‘north america’, 90% of ‘adults’ consume ‘caffeine’ daily)

(“wow”!)
(“that’s way higher than i’d ever guess”)

(the “united states food and drug administration” lists ‘caffeine’ as a “multiple purpose generally recognized as safe food substance”)

(‘caffeine’ has ‘diuretic’ properties, at least when administered in ‘sufficient doses’ to subjects that do not have a ‘tolerance’ for it)

(in other words, “probably only in exceptional cases”)

(‘regular users’, however, develop a strong ‘tolerance’ to this effect and studies have generally failed to support the common notion that ordinary consumption of ‘caffeinated beverages’ contributes significantly to ‘dehydration’)

ENERGY DRINKS

REDLINE

(a dietary supplement produced by “Vital Pharmaceuticals”)

http://www.redlinerush.com/

SUMMER 2006:

frank mattioli + the bally total fitness gang introduced me to the energy drink
(it was sold at the front of gym)
(copped a decent buzz)
(though nothing particularly earth-shattering)

MONSTER

*monster assault*

8 fluid ounces / serving
(16 fluid ounces / can)
(200 calories)
(54g carbs / 18% daily value)

carbonated water
sucrose
glucose
citric acid
sodium citrate

(limit 3 cans per day)

(not recommended for children)
(not recommended for pregnant women)
(not recommended for people sensitive to caffeine)

14 october 2014:

bought 3 monsters at the princeton CVS…they were on sale (2 for $4)…had to have the cashier ring up the discount for me…now i’m out of foodstamps money for energy drinks…

19 march 2015:

cheryl bought me a monster from CVS…drank it while updating the blog @ the mercer county library…

11 december 2014:

bought 3 monsters at the trenton bodega…will drink them all this afternoon…some young black dude was surprised that i drank that many monsters…i can go through up to 7 monsters / day…not good for the digestive system…

16 june 2014:

no more money for energy drinks…now i have no choice but to go totally straight…one more coffee before i withdraw…bought “european cap” monster drinks…one of them leaked on the walk back to CVS…

7 july 2014:

on wednesday i bought a monster energy drink at the liquor store…on thursday i bought a red bull at the gas station (and complained to the arab attendant about the $5 price)…on saturday i had a starbucks iced coffee and 3 monsters (in rapid succession) to combat alcohol withdrawal…now it’s monday and i’m starting up with 3 starbucks iced coffees and a monster…i think i should limit myself to that for the day…the coffee gives me the runs and the monsters can’t be good for the body…and i’ll soon build up tolerance and run out of money on my foodstamps card…

14 JULY 2014:

i buy monster drinks at the lawrenceville CVS…higher prices than the monsters at the trenton convenience store ($2.75 vs $2)…i make 2 trips a day…get some exercise this way…i’m up to 6-7 cans of monster a day…this is not good for my teeth (especially since i’m not brushing)…or my body in general…but it helps me get the job done…although my tolerance is rapidly building…and my foodstamps balance is rapidly depleting…

13 AUGUST 2014:

again i’m spending all my foodstamps $$$ on monster energy drinks…i think i’m gonna go through 6 of them today…even though i can’t do much (in terms of recording) after 6pm…it’ll help me on the run back to the motel…and for video editing…and if i decide to go to karaoke night in princeton (highly unlikely)…maybe i should just save them for tomorrow…i end up drinking at least 2 of them during my time at the library…helps me to write / catch up with myself…

24 SEPTEMBER 2014:

bought a monster energy drink when cheryl and i went to CVS…should’ve gotten more of them…they got me going while blogging at the library for a short time…

29 september 2014:

two monsters @ the library…

5 october 2014:

after another booze binge / withdrawal (along with cigs), i’m back on energy drinks…went through 6 monsters in 24 hours…bought another two this afternoon…maybe i’ll need more…

my teeth were stinging (from lack of regular brushing and abundance of energy drinks)

back @ room by 6pm

(after a free monster from 30 burger courtesy of crystal)

(she wants me to come friday afternoon to meet the indian owners)

(pull my hair back)

(monday @ noon for training)

(she wants to quit)

(she’s bored as hell)

i definitely have irritable bowel syndrome

(red peppers are nasty coming out)

(and coffee + monsters don’t help matters)

4 monsters (on sale for $2 each)

cigs + monsters losing their effect on me…

now what?

went into frist for a monster…they weren’t selling it…and the campus security officer (whom i didn’t recognize) asked me “you get what you need?” when i walked in and out without buying anything…probably suspected of shoplifting…

got a monster left from last night…

so i ran to the library…got 4 monsters + 2 coffees…went through the coffees and one monster at the library…

all cleaned up…wait for hair to dry and sink to clear…out of clean pants…always stink around the seat of the pants…brown stains abound…teeth are stinging…less than 4 monsters left…

no answer from roboray…decided to walk back and not shake up the 6 monsters that i bought at CVS…cough is starting to return…

drank 3 monsters…made me sick to the stomach…3 more left…2 for $4 at CVS…

tomorrow i’ll wake up late and get on my three monsters…when those wear off i go to the library…

so i’ve been video editing all day and drinking my monsters…

now i’m down to the last monster…

it’s ok outside…time to run…be ready to start working again @ 4pm…coffees instead of monster…

bought a monster @ CVS…

3 monsters and a vanilla iced coffee…

sharted my pants after the coffee and monster

now i don’t feel much better…

went back to CVS for another monster / 4 steak burritos / big mixed cheese chips bag / 4 string cheeses…

flirted with the chubby busty hispanic cashier…now she’s drinking monsters…

i picked up 4 monsters…may as well focus on video editing tonight…

i tried to keep up my stamina saturday afternoon with 3 monsters

(which i gulped down in rapid succession)

this didn’t do much

the coffee + monster gave me good energy yesterday

(when i finally got out of bed sometime ’round noon)

and then loaded up on 4 monster drinks

my monster bag was falling apart on the way back to the motel

walked for 2 iced coffees and 3 monsters @ CVS

i went through 2 iced coffees and 7 monsters yesterday

less than 4 monsters left…

(should i do another run?)

i refilled on energy drinks…went through ~7 monsters today…

two monsters and a gatorade

(for less than $6)

sugar highs are only cured by more food

i was introduced to the “monster” energy drink while working @ guitar center in december 2005…

RED BULL

(an energy drink sold by Austrian company Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987)

21 august 2014:

(a large red bull to start out the day)

i first tried red bull during my senior year of high school (at the stirling road krauzers)…i was excited about the possibility of copping a buzz…wanted to get my sister a red bull as well…she wouldn’t have any of it…


S
STEAZ

so i finished all my coffee and energy drinks…

then i’ll stock up on energy drinks and head into princeton armed with the new video…gotta hit up karaoke night and pick up a girl…

the energy drinks + smoking just made me feel like shit…

loaded up on food and energy drinks @ CVS…

at least i have some coffee + energy drink saved from last night

burning through the energy drinks too quickly

so i made it through 5 energy drinks and music edited until 10:30pm…

the two energy drinks yesterday did give me some sort of boost
(from whole foods princeton)
(courtesy of cheryl lynn)

guru (lite) (just organic cane syrup?)

(140mg of “naturally occurring caffeine”)

sambazon amazon energy drink (acai berry)

(caffeine from organic yerba mate)

the energy drinks are getting me a bit wired…steaz…100mg of caffeine…i only have 5 more left…

cream cheese > butter
ketchup > mustard
hamburgers > hot dogs
roast beef > turkey
eggs > meat
fruit > vegetables

i starting drinking “red bull” during my senior year of high school…

(just to catch some sorta legal “buzz”)

(12 fl oz)
(160 calories)
(6% daily value sodium)
(13% daily value carbohydrates)
(39g sugars)
(carbonated water)
(sucrose)
(glucose)
(citric acid)

(sodium citrates)
(magnesium carbonate)
(114mg caffeine)

(“most popular energy drink in the world” according to market share)
(adapted from thai energy drink “krating daeng”, which is thai for ‘red bull’)

the local bagelmaster became a “krauzers”
(from whitebread to indian…)
(and so it goes…)

it never became habit-forming…i tried to turn on the little sister to the drink (but she wouldn’t have any of it)…

in college, i began relying on red bull to power my way through final exams after neurotic sleepless nights…

“coffee talk”

(italian ‘caffe’)

roasted seeds of the coffee plant

coffee is brewed. drip brew, or filter coffee, is a method for brewing coffee which involves pouring water over roasted, ground coffee beans contained in a filter.

coffee was a necessary stimulant during my final year at college.  only because there was free coffee available 24/7 in the cafeteria.  i drank it at night out of sheer boredom.  always black…no frills…i’m not looking to reward my taste buds. i only seek the reliable delivery of efficient energy.

like most other drugs, there are downsides. my teeth are disturbingly prone to color changes, so i drink one cup o’ joe and my teeth glow yellow.

*espresso*
(‘pressed-out’)
(‘express’)

forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee

(i prefer double espressos)

*cappuccino*

paul newman coffee

(instant coffee) vs (pot coffee)
(ask grandma skip the difference)
(too late!)

*maxwell original roast*
(makes 10 pots of coffee)
(medium strength)

(maxwell house owned by kraft foods)
(named after maxwell house hotel in nashville, tennessee)
(second most popular coffee)

(folgers is first)

‘the best part of waking up is folgers in your cup!’

fill coffee machine to 10 and that makes 1 pot / 6 cups of coffee

‘the kerass, the kerass’
(as mother describes it)
(what the hell does that mean?)
(messed up my coffee making)
(loose gizmos always mess with me)

(coffee is kept hot in the pot)

when i started weightlifting (for the second time) in september 2006, i began downing “rockstar” energy drinks before workouts…i’d never pay for them…(that’s usually referred to as “stealing”)…

i first started the “morning coffee” routine when i started working @ BGC partners in march 2007…again, there was free coffee available all day…

i’d drink double espressos with my boss d’arcy miell during summer 2007…

i tried the much-touted “5-hour energy” drink but it did nothing for me…it purported to prevent a “sugar crash”…i don’t think there’s any such thing as a “sugar crash”…in all my years of consuming sugar, i’ve never experienced one…

the morning coffee routine continued when i transferred to JPMorganChase in october 2007…i’d usually be thoroughly stoned when arriving @ the office, so the coffee was a mere bonus…

when i moved back to watchung in april 2009, my mother used to buy me a coffee every morning from krauzers…

when she didn’t get me coffee, i’d brew my own with the cuisinart coffee maker…

then i started getting into daily starbucks trenta sweetened iced coffees…

i even started a “starbucks account”:

jogabot
banjogai

i found the mixture of coffee and dope to be overwhelmingly euphoric…how i wish i can go back to those days!

in princeton, i now drink large sweetened iced coffees (with two turbo shots of espresso)…
(my mother still gives me dunkin donuts gift cards)

“caffe americano”
(italian for “american coffee”)

a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving a similar strength but different flavor from regular drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added.

In the United States, “Americano” is used broadly to mean combining hot water and espresso in either order, but in a narrower definition it refers to adding water to espresso (espresso on the bottom), while adding espresso to water (espresso on the top) is instead referred to as a long black.

The name is also spelled with varying capitalization and use of diacritics: e.g. Café Américano – a hyperforeignism using the French word for coffee and the Italian word for American, but with an additional incorrect accent – café Americano, cafe americano, et

(as recommended by big-tittied plain jane barista)

(not quite in my league)

(but i’d prob still fuck her)

10 march 2014:

buying $2 monster energy drinks with my foodstamps card from the local bodega

and drinking them in the computer lab
(despite the sign explicitly stating “no food or drink in the computer lab”)
(the dumb thugs here brazenly sip their coffees)
(so why should i follow the rules?)
(the workers here don’t seem to mind)
(just like the “no smoking” sign on my motel room door)

the monster serves me well
(but they’ll drain my EBT card)

and i’m building up a tolerance
(i drank 7 monsters on saturday)
(after buying a 10-pack on friday afternoon)

already on my fourth monster of the day

near the motel, i can only buy them at the local walmart

(some stores don’t count them as “food products” under the foodstamps program:)

(shop-rite)

i’m downing energy drinks and writing…

bought 4 monster energy drinks

(but they aren’t working)

should i go on a mission for energy drinks?

it’d be good to take a walk

(only $18 in foodstamps left)

(i’m wasting it on junk food and energy drinks)

it seems i can buy individual energy drinks but not energy drink packs

(too lazy to walk to the grocery store for energy drinks)

(i’ve reached another dead end once the energy drink high wore off)

and i need energy drinks

i went through 3 monsters and a 20oz red bull yesterday
(and i’m out of money for energy drinks for the next 9 days)

shoprite wouldn’t let me buy a 4-pack of monster

but walmart let me buy 2 monster drinks and a red bull

started off the morning with a monster

so i walked to shoprite

(again i couldn’t purchase individual monster drinks)

so i walked to walmart

where i bought 3 monster drinks / 1 20oz redbull / a twix four-pack

and i’m going through 3 monsters

(it’s not having much effect on me)

may as well give up that habit as well

the dunkin donuts espresso machine is still broken…so i settled for a large iced coffee…

21 april 2014:

my tolerance to energy drinks is frightening…i am spending all of my foodstamps $$$ on energy drinks…now the foodstamps card is tapped out (after starting off the monday morning with 4 monsters)…at least the corner store reloaded on monsters…this can’t be good for my digestive tract…but it does seem to optimize my productivity…

28 may 2014:

with my bank account in overdraft, i’m relying on my overstuffed foodstamps card to purchase energy drinks + coffee from the grocery store near mercer county community college…so far i’ve been through 2 monsters + 2 starbucks frappuccios…i’ll purchase more before i catch the bus back to the motel room…

2 june 2014:

bought a venti starbucks sweetened iced coffee at the princeton starbucks after cashing the welfare check…this can’t be good for my bowels…then i got 5 espressos at “terra momo” cafe in the princeton library…only because it was a $7 minimum for debit card…another $7.50 down the drain…

10 june 2014:

sticking to monster energy drinks (bought with foodstamps)…they seem to be making me weak + hungry (as well as giving me nasty shits)…but they’re all i’ve got for now…i plan on going through 3 – 4 monster drinks a day until i grow immune…

11 june 2014:

bought out all the monster energy drinks at CVS…onto large (16oz) red bulls…they restocked the monsters by the following afternoon…

and i’m back to monsters…

*13 june 2014*

the energy drinks are losing their effect…

drinking two monsters as i blog at the library computer…

then what?…

(i’m out of ‘intoxicants’…)

*MECHANISM OF ACTION* –>

(prevents “adenosine” from binding to the 4 known ‘adenosine receptors’)

(‘adenosine’ accumulates in the ‘neural synapse’ as you stay awake)

(eventually it binds to ‘adenosine receptors’ which make you feel more ‘sleepy’)
(getting ready for bed)

(‘caffeine’ blocks the ‘adenosine receptors’)

(who are probably just acting in your best interests)
