Yeah, well, not the blog. The forum. The blog is Kevin's.

Kinda confusing... I'm sure there was a point to doing that somewhere.

Yeah, okay, you're right.

I didn't really get too familiar with this site before posting that. Thanks for the slap on the face.

Do you know any articles that take this deeper?

Haha nah, I'm just overdramatizing the headaches I got - I'm a little baby. They did make me slip back a few times though.

After I cut out the coffee, I had probably about two days of withdraws, then stopped noticing anything.

The cool thing about being human is, our passion's automatically triggered in response to compassion. You find something that'll really help the world, and it'll pull your life with more force than fifty sith lords.

You're in microbiology - shouldn't have to look too hard.

When I drank coffee for about a year, I didn't have any noticeable impairments, at least nothing that slapped me in the face.

The withdraws though... oh god the withdrawals.
