The real name of this tricky little product should be "about 6.5 hours of energy followed by jitters, inexplicable depression, anxiety, restlessness and general unease."
Probably should cut down on that stuff, but it really does work if you can suffer through the side effects. They say there's no "crash"...true statement. However, there's nothing like needless sadness combined with jitters to make you feel great about life.
Oh, and what's the deal with those commercials? Could they have spent any less money? Speaking of commercials...Is it me or does just about every radio and tv commercial on these days truly suck? No originality, not nearly as funny as they think they are and sometimes downright disturbing (that stupid gum commercial with the creepy workers watching through windows as the lily white family advocates gum chewing).

Life at 40
Is it really true? Have I really crossed the threshold into my 40's? How did this happen?
Am I really married? Do I really have two little girls? A house? Yes, it's all true. I, Scott Jacobson, have become a grown up without realizing that it happened. As I sit in my rented room in Billerica, MA I ponder how much things have changed in the last 20 years, 10 years, 5 years, 1 year and even since last week. In an upcoming post, I'll share my story of why and how I have come to be in a rented room in Massachusetts while my wife and children await in Essex, Vermont as our kitchen undergoes so much needed renovation. My wife, Beth, is "over the moon" with excitement at this event, while I look at pictures and feel a sense of excitement as well. I didn't think it would be genuine excitement, but it's kinda cool. What's even cooler is that Beth is so damn jazzed.
It's like being on HGTV, as Beth actually told me about the "big reveal". Meanwhile, I sit alone in my room that I've quickly fashioned into a college dorm. Posters adorn the wall and a small refrigerator contains sustenance such as diet soda and spreadable cheese. It's just so surreal. I know that's a cliche, but it's simply the best way to describe it.
All that matters, however, is that I love my wife and my kids. Being a father has changed me for sure. I no longer think only of myself despite a few moments here and there. Wow. 40. Hello.
