Triumvirate #12: Boost, Threshold & Outsourcing

Each episode of The Triumvirate Series is a crystallization of how my day went in three themes. This is my own, novel way of writing a daily journal. Read the rationale here.

Boost. Before I grill myself with books, I usually buy 2 sachets of Extra Joss from our neighbourhood drugstore. Before I fry myself with readings, I usually play with my dog first to trigger the release of some gay endorphins. Before I boil myself with course notes, I usually switch on my study table lamp and stare at the blinding light as if it would condition my neurons to take some academic pain. But wait, it won’t turn on! I had started studying around 3 am because I had to wait for the electricity to come back. Of course, I did not get any sleep. Don’t touch me, I might break into pieces.

Brown. Out.

Threshold. Man, you don’t know my limit. I know mine but it’s a variable. Good thing’s my sanity’s pretty patient. You know that I love you, just don’t demand too much love from me. You can get withdraw as much love as you want, but remember I seek penalty for an empty account.

Outsourcing. Of course, you can never suffice. From time to time, you have to force people to sign on your wet-with-blood contract. After this, they would realize that the blood stains were theirs — you got some in advance. You’re hungry for blood and everyone knows it. Your body’s bloodless, and everyone laughs at it.
