Random Blog of Eclectic Ramblings

Energy drinks today are all the rage. You can get your caffeine fix along with some vitamins and some other, slightly more questionably healthy supplements. Best of all, you now have myriad brands and flavors at your disposal, so even if you don't care for one, there's bound to be another which soothes your palate.

My current favorite are the Monster Hydro "Purple Passion" flavor bottles. It's like a grape Popsicle (or grape Kool-Aid) on speed. The only downside is that, without carbonation, it's really easy to drink the whole thing in a very short period of time and then be tempted to get another, and we all know consuming multiples a day isn't really in your best interests!

We're not unreasonable. I mean, no one's going to eat your eyes.

We cannot, however, speak for the kaiju.

"Why should I care about this?" you ask? Very good question! If you happen to have a client in your Contacts who holds dual citizenship with a country in the E.U., and said person says they wish to have their contact information obliterated from your database to the extent allowed by law, this means they no longer wish to be seen. We got such a request from Arthur Two Sheds, and dealt with it accordingly. Unfortunately, we didn't know behind which bush he had hidden himself.
