5 hour energy ... Did You Drink Yours Today ?

GENTLE READERS:

Here is my random story for May 17. Call it TUESDAY MOANIN' if you must:
Last Wednesday I was in The Learning Center (a tutoring place) at Richland College. A tired student who was waiting for a Writing Tutor came and sat near me.

He was kind of chubby, black, and maybe 20 years old. He was wearing TOO much cologne. He said he was "from London."
A few minutes later he began talking to one of the Writing Tutors. While commenting about what he had consumed that day, he said, "Someone gave me this," and pulled out a small bottle of 5 Hour Energy. He said it was the first time he had had it. The Writing Tutor (a lady in her 40s, with a conservative, weird haircut) told the chubby man the 5 Hour Energy "clogs your arteries," which I don't think is totally accurate.

So, bringing the focus back to me:
I was thinking, who gave the chubby London man the 5 Hour Energy? If it was a friend, who just hands out bottles of 5 Hour Energy to their friends? Who hands out bottles of 5 Hour Energy to ANYONE? He said it did not taste good.

I guess he was still thirsty. A few minutes later, the chubby guy saw me drinking a diet Dr. Pepper and asked me if I wanted to buy him a drink (Silly Question). I said, "NOT REALLY!!" and then, "do you want to buy me one?"
The 5 hour energy drinker said, "I don't have any money." Maybe that is why someone gave him the drink in the first place ...

I am listening to: Julian Casablancas, and have been hearing some strange 80s tunes lately... usually I am surprised for 2 seconds and then I realize I really like whatever the hit is.

as always gentle readers,

yours truly
