Morning has broken

And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of the setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels.

- Wordsworth

Relentless has really raised the bar for energy drinks. Not only do they have short, inspiring segments of poetry on the side of their already aesthetically impressive cans, but they've thought to add fruit juice into their energy drinks.

50% is juice, the other half is the same old chemicals. It's like being hit in the mouth with an electric pineapple. It tastes like crap but kept me awake through genome sciences, so kudos. Didn't sleep last night.

On the subject of genome sciences, had a lecture today on the vast amount of useless DNA just hanging about in the human genome. I think it would make a fine premise for a sci-fi thriller whereby a bunch of scientists find a way to either remove all this useless DNA or somehow activate it. Either way, they create something man was never meant to create.

'That DNA was locked away for a reason.'

It would be similar to the idea that utilizing more than 10% of your brain gives you psychic powers.

It would also be similar to Doom but with a great many things changed.

Anyhow, by body is currently being used as the staging ground for an epic battle between the forces of caffeine and alcohol by-products, so I think I'll get some sleep.

"That DNA was locked away for a reason".

Yes... So we don't all revert back to apes. A horror movie about a load of chimps playing havoc and... Maybe picking lice out of scientists' hair.

The horror. The horror.
