Or something like that I dunno..
Things.. Well things are things. I've decided to stop drinking pop (soda, coke whatever). Keep this in mind, I've been drinking diet coke/soda for probably most of my life. I was a big pop drinker in my youth. Mostly because it was a reward from my mother. Clean your room we'll go into town and get a coke. that kind of thing. it was the 80's so don't go baggin on my mom for not being all internet cool and vegetarian. Hell, that was back when you could still buy the cool Lawn darts.. so its no wonder I didn't end up with a hole in my head.
So yeah, No more diet coke. I'm already kinda going through the DTs. I think its more the caffeine than anything, but I'm not quitting caffeine. Most of my caffeine intake was from diet coke, so I'm going to try switching over to tea. I already drink 3-4 cups of green tea a day, but that doesn't have much in the way of Caffeine. So my plan is to supplement it with Iced Tea. Nice Antioxidants.. (which i'm pretty sure is b/s). and caffeine (which you're supposed to have some of anyway.. which again is probably b/s).
Which brings me to all this Alarmist poop that pops up on the internet and magazines. Pretty much, whatever you're going to eat.. is going to kill you. Pretty much. I'm dying right now. Even if I was in awesome health. I'm dying. It's the nature of being a live. The chaos of life going towards the Order of death.. back to the chaos of life that our bodies (should) give back to the earth. Granted we're all embalmbed so worms won't even go close to use, but still.
Anyway, F them.
Wow, I'm in a pissy mood.. I wish I had a large diet coke. rt44 style from Sonic.. GD they make a tasty beverage.
ok, back to WoW or 360 so I stop thinking about it.
Laters,
(and sorry for the pissy post.. granted no one reads this.. so sorry Sauce. No problem Sauce.).

If not caffeine, what're you giving up pop for? I'm not terribly worried about the calorie-free sweeteners, but I probably drink enough that the carbonation is hard on my stomach. But I _crave_ carbonated drinks. Even a sugary lemonade or whatnot doesn't satisfy the way sweetened carbonated water does.
And I'm pretty convinced that caffeine is essential to managing my ADHD. I should probably just get medicated.
Yeah. I'm not off the pop yet. I've been drinking Coke Zero though and, for the most part, trying to tell myself SPLENDA is better than aspartame. I've also been drinking a lot of that new-fangled sweet tea that's ubiquitous these days. I always liked sweet tea and when I found out i'm not at risk (currently) for diabetes I said "well, fuck, let's get this sweet tea show on the road, people"!
Anyway, good luck with kicking the soda horse. I know you can do it!
