Hi, I'm Perri Nelson, and I'm a drug addict.

That's right, I'm a drug addict. Let's get it out of the way now so that I have a future political career. It worked for Sen. Obama didn't it?
Oh, and in the interest of full disclosure, I used to take a whole bunch of other drugs in the past, but I don't any longer. That shouldn't be a problem though, I was young. Surely you'll forgive me for youthful indiscretions when I run. We don't need to go into the details. Oh that's right, I'm a Republican, so I'm screwed anyway.
What's that you say, my current drug addiction will disqualify me? Hey, come on that's not fair!
What drug am I addicted to? Caffeine. Here's a perfect graphical depiction of my dependency...
Right now I'm somewhere on the upside of the fifth cup on the curve... later in the day, sometime around when I fall back to normalcy (whatever that is) I'll have to have more coffee. We don't need to see another triple shotgun murder after all.
The image above was sent to me by a friend via e-mail, so I had to share. I did a little digging and found out that Tom Edwards has a lot of other cartoons on his website. Most of them are on various pottery items that he sells, including coffee mugs, bowls and plates. He's also been an award winning editorial cartoonist for The Canyon Courier, The Columbine Courier, and The High Timber Times.
Seeing the image reminds me of an episode of Futurama. In that episode, Fry decides to spend his $300 on 100 cups of coffee. Throughout the episode he gets jittery, and very wired. Near the end, just as a disastrous fire that could kill all of the series regulars breaks out he completes his 100th cup. Suddenly, he reaches the peak of the caffeine curve, and everything suddenly moves in slow motion, even the flames and the beat of a hummingbirds wings. He gathers everyone up, puts them onto a rolling table and gets them all out of danger. After everyone is rescued, Leela remarks that they were all saved by an "orange blur".
One of these days, I wouldn't mind being an "orange blur". I don't think I could drink 100 cups of coffee to get there though.
