Lately my sleeping pattern has been really strange. I slept way too much, up to six hours a night. Above all I reduced my coffee consumption to only one third of my regular used. And imagine what? Coffee made me tired!
Almost two months ago I told my supervisor that it wouldn’t take long anymore before number three wou’ld come. Today it was that far. Pains had been part of my life in the past weeks. Our daily double double espresso today was the last thing I needed. Only two hours later cramps struck me down. I FINALLY went to see a doctor and the diagnosis was the expected one. Almost 31 and enjoying suffering my third ulcer. WTG! Luckily the first two ones are almost ten years ago, but still I guess my stomach has had his best years. Especially if I think of all the alcohol I had in my life as well.
My visit to the doctor was actually ‘quite interesting’. It is my third one so I knew what the result was going to be. And I also knew what he was going to tell and prescribe me. After the second one my doctor prohibited me coffee. WTF ? When I went back three weeks later he was totally surprised to hear I didn’t drink any coffee anymore. But 4 liters of grey tea daily made him tell me that I could as well continue coffee. Now this bastard today tried the same with me. NO COFFEE! What to do with those people? They have studied long and are ’smart’ humans. Who am I? I told him that I would take my vitamins (Vodka, Gin, Rum, Tequila, Triple Sec, Lime Juice and Coke) every day from now on and would switch from numerous strong Italian ristrettos (Lavazza coffee bean) to a milder American coffee bean. What do you expect? I am a computer freak/nerd/geek and you want to put me without coffee ?
No.fucking.way. So when I left I went to the first coffeehouse (Yes the one that got attacked in ‘Fight Club’) and ordered a double one. It.tasted.like.fucking.water.

Six hours is way too much? How do you figure?

Wow, I wish I could sleep soundly for six hours, although I always try to shoot for eight.
Sorry about the ulcer. I would rather die than give up coffee.
Love your vitamin list. That was cute. Do you like Capt Morgan’s Rum and Coke? That’s my favorite. I don’t drink all that much anymore.

I love coffee. And medical scientists say coffee is good for the heart.
Pass me the coffee.

Ermm….I’m confused. They said drink coffee the first (2) time(s), but now they’re saying NO coffee?
Or am I just illiterate?

A fine coffee connoisseur such as yourself should have expected nothing less than some fuckwit in a coffeehouse brewing coffee flavoured water.
Having to drink shitty coffee as opposed to a decent tea? Is it really worth it? (I cringe at the thought, you poor dear)
Well, at least you’re preparing yourself for every damn ‘coffeehouse’ in the U.S.
Fuckers don’t know the difference between french roast and espresso, let alone what a shot of espresso is SUPPOSED to be.
Nice list of vitamins btw, do you mind if I begin that regimen today? I don’t think my doctors have to know…

Sorry to hear about the ulcer. Tough scene. Perhaps the miraculous healing properties of a BLOGExplosion billboard on my site will help? Please drop by to see your welcome post.
By the way, I’m serious about wanting help to recreate a drink I had in Torino. I’ll be in touch about that later.
Peace,

I don’t smoke, but I tried it a few times over the years out of curiosity. I got SO SICK each time, and even so, I still kept trying to see what the high was all about. (I guess my body was trying to tell me something!) Coffee and dark chocolate are my poisons now.
