This will be my last update. I can’t imagine that anyone has actually bothered to read all of these, and I’m tired of writing them.
I’m now onto the Monster Energy “supplement.” It tastes like Mellow Yellow flavored with piss and rancid grapefruit. My only hope is that the flavors assaulting my tongue were added to cover stunning amounts of powerful, semi-legal stimulants. Otherwise, this crap is awful.
In utterly unrelated news, I bruised the everliving shit out of my fingertips trying to play guitar today. (Not Guitar Hero. The real thing. I find it strange that an acoustic guitar, electronic tuner, neck strap, lesson book, DVD, and strings are half the price of Guitar Hero III and a Wii.) I was practicing for… an hour, maybe? My sense of time is fairly warped right now.
After looking for really basic songs for a while, I came across Johnny Cash’s Hurt. I played the first three notes and noticed that my fingertips seemed to have been crushed in a vise. It’s probably going to be a few days before I can play again.
If you missed all of these, and you probably did, start here.

Hurt reminds me a lot of “Not Ready to Make Nice” by the Dixie Chicks. You can hear the raw pain and emotion in both.
BTW, stay away from the ‘ring of fire.’ As you fall down, the flames get higher… and they burn, burn, burn…
