I tried to give up or rather cut back of caffeine these past two weeks. I failed. Or not really failed but rather I am convinced caffeine is brain food. When I am highly caffeinated my brain works. When I write the words flow effortlessly onto the page. I even read better. When I am un-caffeinated my brain refuses to pick out the words and moves slowly and laboriously from one word to the next. I hate it. So I am sticking with the notion that caffeine is actually good for you and consuming obscene amounts and speed reading and writing my way through life.

There is nothing like the brain fog of my non-caffeinated mind first thing in the am to let me know just how dependent on caffeine I really am.
