Beer cleanses

Its nice to be able to post personnaly and not rely on the kindness of other bloggers to turn my comments to posts.

I was feeling a bit tired last week, uninspired, sickly, irritable ... So I turned to the one thing that I know can rejuvinate, beer. There are times when a guy feels so tired that sleep cannot help, so bored that the following day looks unbearable, so unispired and unmotivated that he wants to resign and let all sorts of important stuff slide. At such times I call on the cleansing power of beer. The thing about beer is that it gets the blood flowing, adrenalin rushing, loosens those tight tendons and gets brilliant ideas flowing.

If you were to drink hard on a Sato and/or Friday after a long tiring week, you would wake up the next day feeling even more tired with a hangi added in for good measure. So u spend the whole of Sunday lazing around in the house swearing you will never drink again. By Monday you wake up feeling like you were tied behind an Eldoret express and dragged along the Naivasha-Nakuru highway.

When you wake up on Tuesday you feel like a new man. You are bubbling with energy, your mind is moving so fast you can solve all those problems you previously considered impossible, you are in such a good mood that the waiter at the kiosk you have lunch gets a tip. By Wednesday evening you have hit the peak, on Thursday you capitalise on the little remaining energy to get stuff done. On Friday you are looking forward to a weekend so although you are running on fumes you get quite a bit done.

Beer breaks you down, it takes you to the very bottom so that you can grow again. A tea farmer will periodically chop/prune the bushes down to the trunk so that he can get some new branches. Beer does the same thing.
