Ok, so I've decided to just give up on a good night of rest and embrace the sweet joy of zombie-like wakefulness. Around 5:30 I got up and went to the white hen to pick up some bread and a couple of those 5-hour energy drinks.

If you believe what this guy has to say about it, it may just keep me alert enough to get through the rest of my day.

I am wondering how safe these things are. Most of those really crappy energy drinks are just super doses of caffeine and sugar. According to the bottle this thing doesn't have any sugar, and only as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It does have almost twice as much B6, B12, and Niacin as a can of Red Bull. So, basically all this thing does is shock your metabolic rate into high gear. Ok... I'm going to down it.

Well I'm not dead yet, but I definitely just had a mad scientist / Doctor Jekyl moment there. I half expected the liquid to be giving off vapors. I need to go get ready for work now, but if I don't write again assume this stuff killed me..
