My name is Eugene Beauchamp-Simmons, and I&#8217;m a caffeineaholic.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m up to a pot or two of coffee a day during the week, and I always have two or three glasses of cola during my grownup time with the missus on Saturdays. But then I don&#8217;t have any caffeine on Sundays as I never go out or remember to take my generic <a title=\"Pure evil, in a convenient pill form\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caffeine_tablets\" target=\"_blank\">No-Doz<\/a>, and I routinely wake up with a splitting headache on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on right now. I woke up at 4:00 with just an incredible pounder. I took a couple of of my <a title=\"Strokin' out on the green pills\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/orudis-kt.html\" target=\"_blank\">magic green pills<\/a> and tried to go back to sleep, but an hour later when they hadn&#8217;t even begun to work I realized (yet again) that it was caffeine-related. Then I took my caffeine pill and one of my new <a title=\"Happy pills\" href=\"http:\/\/www.excedrin.com\/prodGuide-es.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">magic green pill replacements<\/a>, which also contain caffeine. My original magic pills are off the market now, presumably because they were causing strokes and heart issues&#8230; which is too bad, because that&#8217;s just some straight up family fun. Anyway, it&#8217;s an hour later now, and that combo has started to take the edge off.<\/p>\n<p>Folks think I&#8217;m nuts when I tell them I have these kinds of withdrawal symptoms (yes, there are others I shan&#8217;t discuss here), but the facts bear themselves out time and again and I just keep my crazy ideas to myself. Except for today, I guess, since I wrote about it&#8230; but though my readership has swelled by 50% since last year, that&#8217;s still only 3 people. And there&#8217;s room for them to all kiss my butt simultaneously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello. My name is Eugene Beauchamp-Simmons, and I&#8217;m a caffeineaholic.
