CRUNK!!! Citrus = a delicious way to get energized
Jun 12, 2008 Health, Uncategorized
The fine folks at CRUNK!!! Energy Drink were kind enough to send me some samples CRUNK!!! Citrus, the new energy drink from the makers of CRUNK!!!. Like its predecessor, CRUNK!!! Citrus has a very invigorating taste. Imagine a lemon-lime soft drink that’s like sweet magic on the lips. Wow, that looks a lot stranger written out than in my head. Anyway, as far as energy drinks go, this stuff is GREAT. Very nice taste, plus you get a boost of energy. And best of all, there is none of the normal energy drink after-taste that stays with you.
If you get a chance, go pick up a few cans of CRUNK!!! Citrus (I am now officiall tired of typing those darn exclaimation marks).

Cannonball
Apr 30, 2008 Music, Thoughts, Uncategorized
I’m a big fan of music, and even more of a fan of picking apart lyrics and relating them to my own life. So, let’s look at one of my favorite songs ever…
Here is a video of me covering Damien Rice’s song “Cannonball”. Also, here are the lyrics, followed by my thoughts on it:
there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what’s going on
there’s still a little bit of your ghost your weakness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven’t kissed
you step a little closer each day
that I can´t say what´s going on
stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it’s not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball
there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that I can´t see what´s going on
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so its not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage, teach me to be shy
‘cos its not hard to fall,
and I don’t want to scare her
its not hard to fall
and i don’t want to lose
its not hard to grow
when you know that you just don’t know
Have you ever acted a certain way for no other reason than the fact that it just seemed right to you? Specifically related to love and relationships, have you ever had feelings for someone or done something out of love (or what you thought was love) that just made no sense at all?
To me, that’s what this song says at parts. “Stones taught me to fly…”. Stones are heavy and don’t fly. It doesn’t make sense for something to teach you about flying that would not fly well at all. “Love taught me to lie” and “life taught me to die” are the same thing. It’s almost like one extreme taught him to do the other extreme.
So maybe in this song, he has done things in a relationship that maybe he shouldn’t have done. Things that seemed right at the time, but might not have made sense, and it has caused a rift in that relationship. And maybe by the end, he wants the courage that led him to do whatever, to make him shy. Only then will he not do it again.
I dunno, what do you think?

Energy Drink Review: “Amp Energy Overdrive”
Apr 29, 2008 Health, Uncategorized, me
I have to give credit to Jason for this one. On yesterday’s post, he suggested MDX (Mountain Dew Extreme) as an energy drink to try. I went to the store this morning on my way in to work and looked for it, but the only Mountain Dew- branded energy drink I could find was called Amp Energy Overdrive. It’s not what he suggested, but it led me to this one.
It is sort of like Code Red with a kick. It has a cherry flavor, and is actually pretty darn good. I know you have to have a little slack with most energy drinks, but this one has a great taste, and it certainly has helped wake me up.
I have one more to try this afternoon. We’ll see how that goes, but for now, I am happy with the Amp Energy.

Blog name
Apr 25, 2008 Uncategorized
I have been racking my mind recently in trying to think of a name for this blog other than “adam.riggins”. I only named it that originally because it’s my name, and at the time, I wasn’t feeling particularly creative.
Past names for this site have been “Check Please?!” and “1,2,4,5… So What!”. Maybe I should go back to one of those titles.
What are your thoughts on naming a blog after your own name?
