someone asked me why i don’t ever get sleep. it’s not because of the coffee, that’s just a byproduct. but please do try the starbucks’ Christmas Blend, it is soo delicious this year. definitely my favorite coffee. and if you’re going to buy some of it, stop by my Starbucks and NOWHERE ELSE. i expect to see you soon (you could even win a TV/DVD because of it).

i love Current TV, just because people just like me just made it. i hate school, schoolwork, and homework. that’s why i want to become a teacher. to not have people feel like that.

sometimes i just look up random websites to see if they exist, sometimes because i want them as my domain. i looked up justthetwoof.us (clever, right?) and was a little disturbed. but good job to whoever these people are!

when i drink Christmas Blend, it’s almost like the holidays are coming, but a holiday where I have a family and a dog and cat, and maybe whole lot of money, and I not only work for myself, but interact with with a lot of people and help them learn and stuff.

remember gummy bears? well what about mr. dress-up? did you watch him? and the polka dot door? that was a good one. i also liked ducktales.

it’s raining very very hard out. i can’t think.

my recent mention of the energy drink cocaine got me reading all of this stuff about the politics behind the controversy, someone made a good point, think of the ever-exalted Paris Hilton and her behavior! it’s true peepz, kids know what’s up. so anyway, i was surprised and pleasantly so, to see that cocaine energy drink has only just a little bit more than a grande cup of starbucks coffee- that stuff is lethal!

woohoo for starbucks!!!

Last night someone tried to tell me that chai tea has more caffeine than coffee. but doing any of a number of searches online will tell you that’s not true. “One of the more confusing aspects of caffeine content is the fact that coffee contains less caffeine than tea when measured in its dry form. The caffeine content of a prepared cup of coffee is significantly higher than the caffeine content of a prepared cup of tea. ” (source) The difference is that you use more coffee weight than tea, if you used more tea leaves by weight than coffee it would have more caffeine, but obviously the weights are very different.

So in conclusion, coffee has the most caffeine- but the energy drink Cocaine has some mad crazy amounts, if you could only get that! (it’s only available in like 4 places in NY)
Here is a sample of caffeintent levels:

Edit: for chai tea caffeine content, please reference the “brewed imported” tea listing. Thanks Travelin’1!

my fingers are cracked from using the sanitizer at work so right now i am actually (trying) to rework my typing fingers. too hard- i will just press lightly like. yeah, not enough time around here for doing everything. i want this blog to be so kickin. my friend is brewing up a mighty fine blog right now- a nice surprise one- and surprise- i’m having a party saturday at my new apartment- with my roomie- and it’s a housewarming party- so bring a housewarming gift you know. do you like these?- or not-

smokers need some motivation? how bout i hung out with a kid the other night at a bar who was trying to get addicted to cigarettes so he could see how hard it is (or isn’t- so he thinks) to give them up!

Hey, get your cats cloned here: oh wait never mind, it costs $32,000!!! but check out how cute (or messed-up?) looking that little kitty is?!!??

well it’s quite obvious that i’m just procrastinating from doing my homework, right? in other good news- bella bit the lid off of a plastic bottle of massage oil and ate who even knows how much of it.

we’re all pretty freaky freaks out here, in the land of diamonds and dementia. today i was remarking that it’d be fun to have a life where i could just push my baby around in a stroller and drink starbucks while shopping at the mall all day- and then i remembered how much i like and actually do prefer my life.

but maybe someday. for a day. maybe not. maybe a winebago full of used books for sale and espressos on the go? or maybe a vanagon.

yes, definitely a vanagon. now see you at the party bright and early!

with all the coffee i get from my workywa, you’d really think i’d be enjoying a piping hot fresh cup of coffee every time i ever even had the slightest itching for it. well, you see, my bro adoomski got me this colombian coffee- it’s really from colombia you see!!! so i have been enjoying it, but also forgetting about it, and today mark offered to make some because i made some scrambied eggs and bagums, and i said alright (tentatively- i was thinking about freshness factor) and he made some, and indeed, it was too fruity and ripe and sweetish, it had gone sour. my point, poorly described in fake coffee lingo, is that it was old. bad and old. too bad indeed, i really enjoyed it while it lasted.

coffee might be hurting my life, but i don’t know if i can stop drinking it. like last night, i went to a 25th wedding anniversary party, and i downed two cups of delicious (generic?) joe and it tasted good. maybe that’s why i was highly hyper and did not sleep until 5am.

would you look at that beauty and perfection?!?! in a quiz on my myspace page, i mention that i’d appreciate it if you never came in and asked for a ‘skinny latte’ because i don’t actually know what that means or where it came from and i do know why it disturbs me so much. so stop thanks.

i feel good today and i don’t see why. i have some significant downfalls as far as being a good useful person goes, i don’t have anything to look forward to, but i still feel excited. glad to be alive and well. living. breathing. not sleeping quite enough. eating too much. such is the life. at least there is a nice assortment of tastyfine beverages out there to compliment all the food i down.

so yeah, point of the day is, as a wise Pablo Picasso once said:

“When I was a child, my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope. ‘Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso’.”

So thank your mothers, I know mine ran a whole marathon this morning before I even ate my breakfalunch! way to go mom!

hey. yeah. yesterday was a nice delicious iced coffee day. today? (after only about 3 hours of sleep again) i just started pouring shots of espresso into a cup with some ice. straight up iced espresso. and it tasted good. over four shots later my heart starts beating faster, i feel sick, like i want to throw up or die, and i feel on top of the world. but the world is pulsing. haha just kidding. but i did feel sick until i went to lunch with my best friend paola.

i encourage you to make your own espresso drinks or get some quick while they still have real caffeine in them. another option is making your own beer. this one is just going to take you longer. it will. but it could really come in handy.

i work at starbucks so this soft as silk coffee must be teaching me something right?
i love that false feeling of livelihood caffeine gives me. guess what else is awesome in a similar manner or not at all: a robot that can identify fine wine and cheese. if only i could have thought something like this up.

i should be finishing my paper on ‘timelessness’ and why or why not it should be a goal of curriculum development. well should it? one thing i think is cool about the times a changin? well, people used to seriously think stuff up. wouldn’t you say it would be way more exciting if there were no phones and someone came up with a phone? or what about electricity? nowadays it’s mostly all new technology that furthers us along, so it’s not as exciting. like that wine and cheese identifying robot i once mentioned. well, it’s all exciting to me.

my new blog look is exciting i’ll tell you what. iced coffee is as smooth as silk, especially when you add ‘silk’ soymilk. slate will tell you about the ‘pitfalls of soy’ and the like. as if i were going to keep procrastinating. no. i must go and homework. then school-me. then lessonify. then wings and gmfo, right?!?!?!

winner of the correct guessingness will get to pet bella indigo sasquatch for three minutes. she’s a doll.

and she’ll bite kittens if you want her to. but she’s oh so gentle. really. that’s why she just lays down and smiles at bigger dogs when they come greet her. i’ve never loved a dog like her before. (and she came to snoogle me as i wrote this) aww.

-have miniature panic attacks (most likely aggravated by drinking several strong iced coffees in a 6-hour time span) and feel like you don’t exactly know what is going on in the world or in your head and you almost pass out and you’re very hyper and excited and nervous (and only slightly paranoid but in a good way that keeps you on your toes?!?!)

-drink several iced coffees in a short few-hour time span and entertain yourself by thinking about wanting more because in the next one you might like some soy milk or the next one you want to add water or maybe some flavor- or forbid this, but, a few espresso shots?!?!

-gotten everything done that you ever wanted or needed to do and just sat back and relaxed and said ‘boy does it feel nice to have nothing i need to do!’ and you’re all calm and relaxed because you didn’t even have to drink 9 cups of iced coffee?

my quiz answers:
-yes today (and everyday)
-yes some days and maybe today but i cannot remember
-no. never. i wish. but it will still never happen. not in the next 5 foreseeable years.

please share yours or make your own quiz!
