Let me start out by saying that it looks like I am not the only one who’s bloglet.com mailing list doesn’t seem to be working. I checked out their website and they seem to be having troubles. I’ll give it a few days and if by then, it’s not sending out mailers…It’ll be time to look for a new service.

Why have a daily mailer go out to people anyway? Well… It’s basically so you don’t have to visit the blog (if that makes any sense). See, the way I have it set up[when it's working properly] is…It sends the 1st 150 characters of the post in your email box. So …Either it’ll hook you and make you want to click to read more…Or you might think “oh god, not another blog about a hockey game!!”…”I can skip this entry”

Anyway…With any luck the bloglet.com mailer will be working soon.

Today I purchased a can of MONSTER and I’m drinking it as I type.

I’m not trying to promote this, it’s more of a scientific experiment to see which I like best and what sort of effect it has on me.
I’ve only tried a few of these energy drinks in the past ..Like Red Bull and another called ROCKSTAR. [Where do they come up with these names???].

So far, Red Bull gives me the biggest rush but also the biggest “come down” about 3 hours after. I actually like the ROCKSTAR drink better but I’m embarrassed to be holding a can that actually says ROCKSTAR on it. This Monster stuff tastes OK so far but I’m not sure if I like the taste better than the others.

Thing is, there’s SO MANY of these types of energy drinks on the market that it’s hard to tell what to buy for a jolt every now and then. Ya gotta love a can of soda pop that has a warning on the side saying:

CONSUME RESPONSIBLY- LIMIT 3 CANS PER DAY
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT
WOMEN OR PEOPLE SENSITIVE TO CAFFEINE.

Yeah, I’m living on the edge now ..Whoa hoo! 1000mg of TAURINE…strong like bull.
What the hell is taurine anyway? Let’s Google it why don’t we…..
……….
………….
SHIT!

Uses
It has been tested medically in
the treatment of congestive heart failure, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, epilepsy
and several other conditions. It is used by some as an antidote for monosodium
glutamate.

Sources of dietary taurine include shellfish and organ meats
such as liver. Human milk contains taurine, but cows’ milk does not.

Taurine is one of the active ingredients commonly found in energy drinks
such as Red Bull, and in pills which often feature caffeine and/or other
stimulant ingredients. The manufacturers claim that taurine enhances the effects
of caffeine, but to date there have been no studies performed to confirm this.

Taurine is essential for cats; cat food is supplemented with taurine,
which is why other pet foods are not recommended for cats. Taurine supplements
may be important to counteract the effects of human aging on the natural taurine
production process. As humans age, hepatic taurine production can fall or fail
completely, producing low to no energy, cardiac, digestive, and mental problems,
and premature death.

hmmm.
