Sugar Highs & Sugar Lows

I don’t know what to write about this afternoon. I’m a bit late taking my break at work. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to sit and get my mind away from the daily grind.
I’ve had Coca Cola today. I’ve also eaten a fair share of gum droppy “fruit slice” candies. My sugar level should propel me into the creative stratosphere.

I’m vibrating at the speed of life. That being said, I’ve no idea what to write about….
I saw Dave Matthews Band on Wednesday last. I had a great dinner and a couple of beers and few distractions. I met Michael Franti of the band, Spearhead

It was nothing major. we greeted one another, and shook hands. He appears to be a energetic and friendly guy! Those who are unfamilliar with his music, I suggest you take the time to explore it. It’s political, hip-hopical, topical, funk-a-delilica. He does a killer cover of the Sesame St. theme song!

I can alread feel a sugar crash coming on. I have to hold on for the end of my shift. Then, I must stay alert for the drive home. Wish me luck.

    Hey, good luck! I understand the attractions of the sugar high – I’m the guy who can make people sick just watching me pack the sweet stuff in. :-) But sugar highs aren’t always the greatest way to seek inspiration. When I really need to write, I turn to nuts and dried fruit to keep me ticking. I can’t promise it will work for you, but you might want to give it a try (it’s actually advice I read in a writing handbook some time ago).

    I find not eating calms me and cracks my creative nut, that and alcohol and cigarettes :-)
