Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 11, 2023

He’s so semi-conscious that he doesn’t remember that he did this not long ago.

I am fortunate not to need caffeine. It doesn’t seem to have an effect on me anyway. I don’t really like the taste of normal coffee either. But I very much enjoy a good espresso. Any time of day. Usually in the afternoon and / or evening. Turkish coffee, too.

I haven’t ventured to drink coffee yet tbh. A Dr Pepper is enough to take the edge off tiredness. One time I drank three Dr Peppers and I literally felt mildy high. I could still feel it the next day, and I was sweating all that night. I can’t imagine what an actual coffee would do to me with how sensitive I am to caffeine.

Once in Panama I nodded off while teaching a guitar lesson to a very skilled student – I was buzzing with coffee nerves while struggling to stay conscious. I woke up babbling absolute nonsense in Spanish, still playing the guitar. He had to have noticed.

Coffee or not coffee. That is the questions.

Try a Red Eye with double espresso shots – you’ll wake up.

If you ain’t shakin’… you haven’t had enough!

I’m not a coffee drinker, either. Don’t like it. Never have.

the coffee must be broken… :L

Horace, you make me aware of my lack of sleep last night.

Try Iron Horse Coffee in San Francisco.

Horace needs to do some stretches while his coffee is brewing and practice good posture among other things…!

Maybe you need to go to bed a bit earlier.

Looks like Horace went to Starbucks…..that coffee will put hair on your mane, Horace! ☺️☺️☺️

There’s a fine line between feeling a nice coffee buzz and (takes another sip) feeling shaky and agitated.

Caffeine does nor really give you more concentration and awareness but enables one to shift it to a more convenient time. At a certain point, it stops working and it is time to lie down .

Coffee was banned in parts of the Middle East when it was first discovered. Elders did not want young people up at odd hours “plotting” and dragging into work late the next day.

Horace always drinks the kind of coffee that’ll put hair on your chest.

You’re not consuming it right. Try snorting it.

something I noticed a while back… sleepy and tired are not the same thing.

A good night’s sleep is the best! Caffeine is for the rest of us.

WHICH IS WHY YOU NEED PROPER REST NOT A CHEMICAL STIMULANT.

Put it right I the veins with an I.V.

Time to switch to energy drinks!
