ok so I'm tired... and not happy about that.
Where does energy come from, and how can I generally have more of it -
eating and sleeping properly is not reeallly going to happen (so much more fun to be had!),
and most drugs are a copout.
thoughts?

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.

Stillness & quietness. My favourite one is to hit some sort of chime, then close my eyes, listen to the sound of the chime until it fades away completely, then take three deep breaths, in through the nose. Concentrate on your breathing until you are feeling very relaxed, then turn your concentration to sounds around you, within the room where you are. As you find each sound, name it, then put it to one side & find another. After a time, extend your concentration to sounds in the building. Then sounds outside the building. Finally, bring your concentration back through the building, into the room, and then back to your breathing. open your eyes slowly.
I also enjoy picturing myself swimming in crystal clear, empty water (like flying through warm blue air).

Thai red bull is the go, although it is illegal in Aust now. Liquid ephidrine.
Isn't red bull owned by coca cola (sorry for swearing)?

WHOAH I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY RIGHT NOW! ok so i spent all day in the boiling sun, spinning at a music festival, THEN, i went to work at 6 (it was a really boring day at work) finished at 11 and had to watch all the people having fun while i signed out and left to go home. So the basic recipe for energy is
- take one cup of sugar
-Be deprived of all partying and dancing due
to nerdy friends and overprotective parent
-Spend all day in the sun feeling exhausted
while simultaniously soaking up all the energy
possible spinning
- Go to work and be bored
- Watch other people having fun while all that
stored poi energy is bursting to be released
So thats how i get my energy.

Sounds like yer just wearing yourself out. You need approximately 1 part sleep to 2 parts awake. As much as I hate those 'little slices of death,' I found a lot more energy when I have proper sleep. Kind of a give and take thing. By no means should you rely on drugs or 'high energy' foods. The effects are temporary and usually harmful in the long run. Sure, you'll have tons of energy if I eat a bag of marshmallows before you workout, but then you'll collapse - hard. Stick with SLEEP and HEALTHY FOOD.
And nookie. Lots of nookie.

Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

You gotta go for 'Go Fast'. It actually works, and it tastes waaaay better.
quote:Red Bull does absolutly nothing for me. I drank about five cans driving back from Cali (this was the first time I had ever tried Redbull), and I thought it didn't work because I was just that tired. I had one the other night when I was feeling a little worn down out at a club and it turs out that it didn't work because it, in fact, doesn't work.

quote:it's funnt that, cus during raves, when the energy starts to ebb, a vicks inhaler in each nostril makes me bezerk and quite the massive evergy booster. I'd like it's energy produced in an old factory. I think I'll call the nose the 'ancient factory' organ.
