Ships Logs #1

What follows is the troubled tale of a ship's captain in his quest to go cold turkey from caffiene. Reader ye have been warned.

Captain's Log: 11/29/10.

Third day without caffeine. Headaches have diminished and throat is no longer dry. Sense of smell slowly returning to pre-caffeine levels; must investigate further.

Crew upset, there is talk of a spirit on board.The men have taken to only going in pairs during the watch. I have ordered an extra share of grog for all the men to help ease their minds.

 Able-Bodied Sailor Alston: "There's only one option. Take on water!"

Captain's Log: 11/30/10.

Up early, working on my papers. 4th day without caffiene. Back of my throat tastes like poison. Possible side-effect? Also had zit on the top of my foot. Who gets a zit on the top of their foot anyways?

Spirit sighted again by crew, I will be taking the evening watch myself to see if there is any truth to this tale.

Discourse with Captain

First Mate Ardmore: " ‎...ewwwwww.. lol :P"

Captain: Captain's Addendum: zit may be possible side-effect of being regularly befuddled by a certain girl. :P"

First Mate Ardmore:  "Pfft I'm made out of vitamins and phytochemicals and other healthy things..I cure zits, not cause them. :P"

Captain:  "The zit got confused and ended up where it shouldn't have. Clearly it got befuddled."

First Mate Ardmore: "Well not by me! :P"

I've seen the spirit that has been haunting the crew! A most befuddled ghost, it called me Hamlet and told me there was trouble in the house of Denmark. I was obliged to show him my world map and point him towards Europe.

No caffeine still. Sinuses continue to flucuate. Weak work out at gym today. Remarkably I have gained no weight over Thanksgiving.

Captain's Log 12/8/2010:

Caffeine freedom ended sometime yesterday. The ship's supply of Prozac was depleted and the crew was forced to being consuming the Dr. Pepper. I was amongst them. As a result we had the largest night-watch in history, over half the crew.

Must find new supply Prozac lest the entire crew and myself... drink too heavily of the caffeine once more, it may result in mutiny...

Discourse with Captain:

Able-bodied Sailor Walker: "Couldn't you have Prozac and Caffeine? hehehe"

Captain:  "Captain's Addendum:

That would be detrimental to my quest to end my caffeine addiction. Sadly I self medicated after lack of a certain prescription so I wouldn't fall into a depression.

The resulting crash afterwards has dissuaded me of thinking that the theory has any merit."
