This week’s new Dustinland comic is a quick one-panel Mondays of a comic about coffee… or lack thereof.
Thereof. Kinda looks like a name from Game of Thrones. Lord Thereof. Pronounced Their-e-off. Can you even say thereof without saying lack of first?
Yea, not a lot goin on this week. But on Instagram I plan to add the music from Platoon to this comic. Really more of a post Oscars joke, if you think about it.
This week’s new Dustinland comic is about how I’m trying to cut down on coffee and I hate it. Also alcohol for that matter. Basically all the liquids. We’ll see how it goes. I’m still having at least just one cup of joe in the morning, otherwise I don’t think I could function. But man, it’s boring. And I just miss that energy burst from the caffeine. I read that Michael Pollan book about how we’re all addicted to caffeine, and it’s true. But it’s fun. And weening off it is not.
Special bonus Dustinland comic! Two in one week! How do I do it? Well, the theme of the comic is coffee, and that’s what the comic is about. Coffee, how important it is, and how frustrating it can be.
And literally I now have to go do what the comic says.
This new Dustinland comic is about coffee and how much I love those rare moments when I am super coffeed up and not just full of energy, but full of ideas. Even if those ideas wind up sucking, man, it feels good in the moment. There was a time when I barely drank coffee, and back then, WOW, it was a guarantee that when I did drink it, I’d be running up the walls. It used to be a thing. You can ask peeps. But now I drink about a cup a day, maybe two, and it usually just gets me up and ready for the day. But sometimes, for whatever reason, it hits me extra hard, and man, that is the best. I just love it when it feels like a chiseled military hamster is running around my skull, ferociously and optimistically getting things done. And I bet no one ever wrote that sentence before.

Yeah… I mean, as this week’s Dustinland comic shows, it’s hard to sleep sometimes. Damn brain. Shut up! Shut up, brain! Perhaps some of this is due to my health habits of not working out ever, not meditating, etc… I should do some of that stuff. Also beer, coffee… all the things that make life fun… I dunno. I actually do everything in moderation but sometimes it feels like even that is too much.
Blech. I blame Trump.

Today was a non coffee day for me, although not as bad as the one pictured in this week’s Dustinland comic. I don’t know – why is it that everything fun is somehow bad for you. I wish I could just drink a ton of coffee and get amped up every day, drink a few beers or some whiskey to wind down at night, then pop a Benadryl and sleep like a baby every night. But I can’t do that because that would be unhealthy and all addicty. And then it would stop being fun because it would become a routine. Blah blah blah no fun. I guess when you abstain from things it makes it more fun when you give in. Good times.
