I'm thinking the vast quantity of
Diet Pepsi I've been consuming is making me
irritable. Not from
caffeine, mind you, but from the
phenylalanine in the
Nutrasweet. I remember in
college, when
smart drugs were all the rage (this lasted, uh, maybe
15 minutes), I tried phenylalanine in a
supplement and it made me want to
kill people.
At tonight's mass I'll be reading the following from
Isaiah.
For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
I'll be reading this in fifteen hours. I need to get to
sleep.
