two days sans caffeine

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2003.07.20

Two whole days. Two days without caffeine. And I don't want to destroy anything. It must be some kind of record. Well, I guess it is, for the last three years anyway.

rand()m quote

It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

—John Steinbeck, Cannery Row
