Is This Shit Legal?

So I was at the grocery store this evening and there was a display with a new “energy drink” on sale. I don’t do energy drinks – I’m not the “energy-drink-type.” I’ve never been a pop/soda drinker and that’s where I categorize “energy drinks.” I drink milk and dark beer primarily and I don’t really see the need for much else. But I fell for it – at 99 cents a can (and sugar free) what did I have to lose, right? --- SLEEP – that’s what!

I had some kitchen work to do this evening so when I got home I popped open a can of “Rip It” and put my favorite rocker on (Melissa Etheridge – nobody else comes close – don’t even go there!) Well I finished my chores hours ago and here I am at midnight, wide AWAKE. (I’ve done speed that wasn’t this good! (ancient history, Eggroll)). So I thought I’d get some work done – came down to the “office” logged on and started checking on my blogger buddies and. . . . (if you are reading this I don’t have to tell you what a time-suckage blogs are!) So then I thought I’d write a blog – I’m over due and so AWAKE, I might as well. So I started a blog about how great Melissa is and why she’s so great. But it turned into rambling (sort of like this) and I decided I couldn’t focus enough to do her justice. So I logged off. Went upstairs to pee (I know, TMI). Hmm It’s almost midnight and a “school night” I should go to bed – but how can I? I’m so AWAKE! Hot tub? – nahh, it’s raining and I really think I’m too wired to relax anyway. Then I realize that although I am cold (too cheap to turn up the heat) my cheeks (face) are burning and bright red. This seems a bit strange since my fingers are ice sickles – whatever?! Hmm, what will I do??? Read a book? No – way too sedentary. So I come back down stairs, log on again. . . . .????? I could try working again, but that would take focus – I don’t think I have enough focus to concentrate. So, ….????? So here I sit wide AWAKE, blogging about how AWAKE I am.

Anything else you want to talk about? ‘Cause, I’m really AWAKE and I could chat all night. Come to think if it, I never did speed alone. Now I know why. Maybe I should have some “Sleepy Time” tea? Or would that be the legal equivalent of a speed ball? Or I could have a few of those dark beers? As I recall that pretty much produces a really AWAKE drunk – no thanks. Oh well, I have 5 CD’s of Melissa on shuffle/repeat – so I could be up all night with her – hmmm – up all night with Melissa Etheridge – now that could be fun! … just a fantasy, I’m sure I’m not her type – too straight!

Okay well I’ll let you go to sleep now, but if you want to chat about anything, I’ll be right here, wide AWAKE!

Ok D.... 10-8-ious.
You should have went to the gym. It's open 24 hours and you could have been AWAKE on an exercise bike or a treadmill. Just thinking of the calories you would have burned!
