Bawls Guarana @ MindSay

:] I finally turned in those papers to work at the library.  While I was there I got The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri [[the movie for it is out right now, but Spring Hill sucks and it's not going to show at Beacon]] So I thought I'd just read the book instead.  And... I'm in love with the actor in the movie so I think about him while I'm reading the book...

And I got Nietzsche in Turin by Lesley Chamberlain.  Richard told me to read stuff about Nietzsche because he was "one the most brilliant philosophers ever to grace this earth" And I've just been reading random books and watching random movies and he's name always comes up... like in Little Miss Sunshine.

So while my Mom was taking me to work I noticed that we weren't driving the same way... so I knew she was taking me to the DMV.  And well... I almost cried in the car.  I just don't want to take that test.  It scares me. I don't know why. 

So my mom just took care of some business and yelled at me while we went to her job. Because I didn't want to take the test.    I got hungry and I went for a walk down Elgin...I think I spelled it wrong. Anyhow I got Chinese's food and then I walked around the health food store right near there. They had a lot of neat stuff... OMFG! I flipped out!!! They have.... BAWLS!!! I love bawls more than my mother... not my grandpa.  More than anything! ANYTHING!!!! <3333 bawls... :]!!!


and I bought stawberries... ^^

Ever tasted Bawls? Neither had I, until I heard about its immense popularity in the gaming subculture. Therefore, I set out on a quest to track down an elusive bottle of this blue elixir, while trying to avoid the obvious jokes that can be made when dealing with a beverage with a name like this one. As the article in the permalink above will tell you, this beverage can be quite hard to find, and is infused with large amounts of caffeine and guarana, giving a kick that will keep you up until 4 in the morning, like me (too many commas).


Delicious.

Anywho, I was snooping around a Speedway down on the corner early yesterday, and sitting in the refrigerator was a lonesome spot with only two bottles of Bawls. I was so surprised, I had finally found it! This must have been the Holy Grail of all soda beverages! I held it triumphantly as I strode towards the counter and said "These bawls are going to taste great!" and tried to avoid the strange looks people were giving me as I left the store.

But I wasn't going to be disheartened. This was my victory moment, no one was going to upset me. But then I got home and realized something: This bottle may be too pure to open. What if I were to never find this soda again? After all, it's a miracle that this Bawls was sitting in a local gas station anyway. Of course, this was probably nothing more than silly superstition, but at the time I was too excited to care otherwise. I sat the bottle down in the fridge at decided that I would never drink it, lest I release its pure energy unto the world.

That lasted for about fifteen minutes. I dashed into the kitchen and grabbed the bottle, noting how cool and crisp its bumps felt after being chilled. I ripped the cap off the top (cutting my palm in the process) and guzzled for about five seconds. This was the BEST tasting thing ever. If any of you have never tried this drink, go out and do your best to find a bottle. Its divine taste can only be described as a kind of mixture of Mountain Dew and Sprite, although descriptions alone cannot do it justice. I'm off for now, hopefully I'll continue to find Bawls sitting in my fridge for weeks to come.
