QUESTION:
What is all the crap I drink to give me a little extra "pick me up", Alex?
That's right. This is the list of ingredients in a Monster energy drink. What the hell is riboflavin? And why is it in so many things? My drink doesn't have the flavor of ribs...
Of course, I'm posting this like this is some sort of self realization that this drink is bad for me and I'll quit drinking it (I love run on sentences). Whatever... I've drank worse. I can't stop drinking these drinks. How else can I get my daily supply of pyridoxine? Well, I'm waiting for an answer. I don't see inositol listed in my Total 100% cereal. And I certainly don't see maltodextrin listed in the Centrum vitamin ingredients. I have to drink these energy drinks to maintain these important nutrients (chemicals... it's all the same).
Anyway, I'm all hopped up on energy right now and can't sit still. It wouldn't be so bad, but my hands are typing faster than my brain and this doesn't mix too well with computers. It's like they have a life of their own.
It reminds me of the movie "Evil Dead 2". The part where his hand becomes infected with the zombie virus and tries to kill him. So he has to cut off his own hand with a chainsaw. I don't know why it reminds me of that scene. I guess the whole hands having a life of their own. Crap, I need to get rid of this excess energy...
