Every once in a while from now on I am going to review some energy drinks. I drink a lot of different energy infused drinks to see which one really keeps me up and going. For those who actually know me, they know that I already am hyper but I love to get an energy drink that makes me go absolutely nuts. After each review I am going to rate each drink on flavor, energy kick that I felt from it, and if it was worth the money (each one will be on a five point scale). So here’s my first review, enjoy:

Oh my gosh. I went to Walgreens today after the gym to get some stuff. I went over to the energy drink isle to check if there was anything new and I saw the one energy drink I’ve always wanted to try. Jolt Cola.

I never really had the courage to go online and buy a case, mainly because I thought it might suck. But I was so wrong. I got the red Jolt Cola which suprisingly did taste like cola, but cheap cola. But once I got over the taste, I realized the kick I got. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 14 and I never truly had a profound effect. I could drink it and go to sleep 5 minutes later. I’ve drunken Red Bull, Monster, Full Throttle, Sobe, and a couple of other energy drinks (the amount of variety of energy drinks where I live is limited to mostly just the ones I listed above) but none can even come close to this.

Jolt packs a punch. And a great one at that. According to Energy Fiend Jolt Cola has 220mg of caffeine in it, Monster only has 160. I know there is a can size difference, but I’ve chugged two Monsters and the biggest thing I got was a headache. With Jolt I’m still buzzing and my hands are shaking like crazy. I know it should be seen as a bad thing, but I am so freaking active right now. I plan on trying some more flavors of it just to test them out.

Energy Kick: 5/5 – The BEST kick I’ve ever gotten from an energy drink

Taste /Flavor: 3/5 – Only because I don’t like the taste of cheap cola at all, but I got over this one pretty fast.

Value: 4/5 – I’d hope the other flavors are better, but this energy drink is definately recommended for gamers, or those who just want an extra boost.

So today was the first day I’ve ever been to a gym. Well, technically the first. I’ve been there before, but only to watch my mom. And had I never actually did anything.  Anyways, I went today and I gotta say it was probably one of the most stimulating and invigorating things I’ve done in a long time. But that’s not what I really want to get at.

There is one big thing that bugs me. People. Naked people. In the locker room. Yeah I understand the locker room is for changing out of sweaty or wet clothes to nice clean ones, but do you have to do it right in front of me? Can’t you turn away or something? Probably the funniest thing was all the tough guys who walked around in wet boxers (my gym has a pool, jacuzzi, and sauna in the locker room areas). No offense you may be big and strong, but when the entire guys locker room sees your junk through your wet white boxers, well you ain’t so tough anymore. Have some decency people. The locker room is for changing into better clothes, but there are showers, stalls, and other places you could change into. But you know I guess what ever floats your boat. Or your wet boxers.

This should be an introductory first post. But it’s not. Well, not really.

My name’s Greg. This is my blog. It’s a daily dose of what I am, what I think about, and why I think thing’s are the way they are. Oh, and every once in a while I write about some things I’m trying out. Well, if your reading this (and I don’t know anyone who would be) hope you enjoy it, and leave a little comment below.
