How to stay awake for 3 days

Here are all the ingredients you need: Americano. No sugar. Egg. Apple. Water. Repeat.
Now that the project I’m working on is out (we relaunched QN5 Music, an independent hip-hop record label), I think it’s a good time to start curbing my americano addiction. I’m trying to wean myself down to one per day for now. I’ll let you know when I fail.

I heart coffee

I gave up caffeine for about a year, but now I rarely go a day without a cup of coffee. The best way to describe the extent of my addiction: 3 workers at my regular coffee stop know me & my usual order. And they all work different shifts.

My resolve to cut out caffeine lasted about a year, but now I’m back in the game — again.

New York Magazine has published an interesting piece on the differences between caffeine & it’s not-so-distant cousin, cocaine:
Cocaine and amphetamines essentially do the same thing, only they create not just a pleasant feeling but outright euphoria [...] But the higher a drug’s highs, the lower its lows, which is why a crack user needing a fix might rob an elderly neighbor at gunpoint while a coffee drinker might simply get snippy with co-workers.
