Can’t Sleep, Blog Will Eat Me

Lincoln Adams | August 6, 2007 @ 2:08 am

Wow, I can’t believe a whole week flew by since I last blogged. Oops. Guess time flies when you’re having f… ahhhh who am I kidding, it was a pretty crappy week. My whole daily routine has been shot to hades for some time now, and try as I might, I just can’t seem to get a rhythm going. A lot of it stems from staying up till 3AM because I just gotta check my email one last time, just one more time, and then I’ll head off to bed, but oooooh, somebody else just visited my blog! Gotta see who that was… ok I’m done, now it’s off to ooooh, just got an IM from a friend in California, let’s see how she is! Ok, NOW I’m gonna sign off and, oh wait, it’s been 15 minutes, let me see if anyone responded to my thread on one of the forums I belong to… ok nothing yet, but let me just check my email one last time…

Next thing you know the sun is up and I still haven’t slept yet. Mother, I’m even doing it now. :sick:

I have to stop this. The lack of sleep and poor health is draining any energy I might have to blog at all. It’s also affecting my job performance as well, but that’s not really important right now. I’m a government employee after all, so not doing any work would actually be par for the course. :D

I do need to set a routine for myself that will put me back on the road to good health again. So starting tomorrow (uh, today) I will resolve to going to bed at a more godly hour, finally getting myself the sleep that I so desperately need.

But let me just check my email one last time…

Addicted

Lincoln Adams | April 25, 2007 @ 6:06 pm

There are certain vices that a man enjoys (or struggles with) in his lifetime. It’s time I got this off my chest and confessed a dirty and disgusting vice of my own.

I, Lincoln Adams…. am addicted to Starbucks’ Hot Chocolate.

Yes, it’s true. For a few weeks now I simply cannot get enough of this drink, especially when I order it with chocolate drizzles.

Maybe it’s because it gives me a sugar boost, but even when the drink seems flat, I still can’t stop ordering it. I realized the full extent of my addiction when I resolved one day to completely abstain from ordering any more hot chocolates, because for one, it was expensive, and two, it was very high in calories, which forced me to cut a meal out of the day if I wanted to stay within my calorie restricted diet.

So what happens? The very next day I ordered not one, but two drinks. I’m hopeless.
