it's amazing, really ... the difference between me before coffee and after coffee. i rolled into starbucks this morning and, while approaching, a cool couple were hanging out in the patio area; smoking and sucking down their initial caffeine offering. with them was a cute little beagle puppy. the dude glanced at me and said 'what's up?' to which i responded 'wzzpddhwztgn.' completely devoid of vowels, i shit you not. i managed to say 'grande cappucino with 4 shots please' at the counter and, upon that first glorious taste, was suddenly a new man. i walk out, kneel down and say 'hi doggie!' and play with the dog while discussing the alcoholic bassett i once had and chuckling about how the beagle wanted beer instead of coffee. i was completely lucid and eventually made my way back to my jeep and sped home.

the change can be totally attributed to a small consumption of coffee. praise allah and pass the half 'n half.

tom waits wrote a song called 'eggs and sausage' as part of the 'nighthawks at the diner' record. it was simply a story of all the time he'd spend in all night diners, sustaining on shitty breakfast food. i'll be composing my own version titled 'cigarettes and coffee' as that's my primary source of nutrition. what's the FDA think of that, eh?

'no more beatin my brains -- with liquor and drugs.'
