Of Coffee and Pot part I

Sitting in my endanged species act discussion today, it hit me. First ill give you the background info: I was in the computer lab around 3.30 today struggling with my genetics writeup. Another grad student whos just an aquaintance of mine was walking around the room. He runs the computer lab as a job, and he was helping another student with computer problems. As he walked by me, he says jokeingly, "Is there anything you need help with sir". Since he said it in a type of flight attendent like tone, i responded, "oh, a cup of coffee would be great". I was obviously playing on the situation and did not really want a cup of coffee. We both had a short laugh and resumed our own business. About 5 minutes later he comes back and plants a huge cup of coffee in front of my face as im busily typing away. I sort of abrubtly laugh in shock as he walks away, and stare at that coffee which is staring back at me.

Now the point. What do you think i did? I drank it biatch. Even though i didnt want it and was completely satisfied without coffee, i indulged anyway. It was right there without effort and without consequences. I drank it mostly cause i knew the feeling it would give me, partly becuase i said what the hell. Heres the analogy: You are hanging out just doing whatever. Now remember the feeling when you are fully content on not smoking or drinking. You are not planning on getting stoned, drunk, or altered in anyway- you just are. Suddelly somebody surprisingly breaks out a bowl or a joint. What do you do? You smoke it biatch. Mostly cause you know the feeling youll get, partly cause you say what the hell.

Coffee and pot man. Coffee and pot...
