quitting coffee again

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.06.24

I've decided to quit coffee, again. I knew all about the many bad things it does to you, but kept gulping down two cups a day. But today I learned something else; that its effect as a stimulant actually causes your body to go into a hypoglycemic state. That's the last thing I need - I'm always blacking out as it is (or having weak, dizzy spells, at least). So no more coffee!

Fans of this journal will recall what happened Last Time. This time I'll keep the withdrawl-induced profanities to myself.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
