No, but I've seen your picture on here, and I just can't see it.

D'Mongos, The Emory, The WAB, The Tap, Cadieux Cafe, The Magic Stick, The Ale House, Smalls, Whiskey in the Jar, Painted Lady, Paychecks, just to name a few.

Nah, based on what I read, and based on who I think they are (based on my own sightings of them), I don't think I would want to be around those kind of people.

In all honesty, I became addicted to Starbucks as a result of those experiences, but no matter how much I drink it now, it no longer gives me the kick it USED to. If I'm sleepy now, I can drink Starbucks and it has absolutely NO affect. The desire to have it, though, to give me a boost is really all in my mind these days.

Yep. I totally agree with you. I think sometimes people drink coffee, or ask the person behind the counter for an extra shot of something to give more of what they think is a boost. Sometimes I wonder if their minds make them think they have a boost of energy when in reality is hasn't done anything lol. I could be wrong, but sometimes our brains can play tricks on us. Like, I had an energy drink once when I was in school. I was really sleepy, because I had been studying all night. So, I decided to try an energy drink, thinking it would keep me up, because the coffee wasn't doing anything. The energy drink didn't do anything either. I was still sleepy. I think a lot of it depends on our body chemistry.
