No, I don’t really get it either.
The Glory of Carniola will return after the holidays. If you’re curious about the silence, read on!
Caffeine. That was the problem. A month ago I decided to give up soda (and junk food) for a while to see what would happen. Two interesting things happened: First, I lost nine kilograms. (~20 lbs) Second, I was no longer able to stay awake past 8 or 9 p.m.
Previously, 8 or 9 p.m. was the time when I would sit down and write posts. With the help of my doctor, I was able to go to sleep whenever I wanted. Now, a month later, my caffeine dependency finally (slowly!) seems to be waning. It’s 10 p.m. right now and my head isn’t fuzzy or aching and I’m awake. That’s a 30-day record. Still, I don’t feel like I’m in the best of shape. So I thought I’d sit back and wait. I have some ideas about radically changing this site, and I’ll be thinking about them over the Christmas holidays.
In the meantime, if anyone has any lucrative ideas about that (i.e. changing Carniola into a kick-ass link farm or something even scummier) please drop me a line. No, wait. On second thought, don’t.
See you soon!

I had no idea that caffeine from the sodas can get you SO addicted. Good luck with your “rehab”.
And of course a happy New Year!
And I thought we all learned from our dear Amy (I only changed the lyrics a bit)
(…) I don’t ever wanna have caffeine again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I’m on the mend (…)
Merry Christmas, of course. And happy New Year.
I think Carniola would achieve greater glory just by adding some fins to lower wind resistance. And with a racing stripe I feel it’d look pretty sharp.
Take care, gogpó.
So, does this mean you are no longer sporting your famous man-breats?
I have no idea how to make this blog profitable. I don’t think a link farm will do it, as these are simply not enough people interested in Slovenia on the Internets. The only solution I see is whoring it out to some company.
Have you considered drinking greed or black tea?
Damn typo!
*green* not greed! LOL!
You should drop caffeine more gradually. Going cold-turkey is the worse option. Caffeine has can have quite yucky withdrawal symptoms: headache, nausea, stomach aches, fatigue, drowsiness, anxiety, irritability, inability to concentrate, diminished motivation to initiate or to complete daily tasks, mild depression.
What a relief to know that you’re back and on the mend with this insane caffeine boycott of yours. I could certainly stand to lose nine or ten kilos myself but I haven’t yet decided if I should give up caffeine or the seemingly endless supply of fat and sugar that are within easy reach nearly every waking moment. I’ll let you know what I settle on…
Anyway, welcome back, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I look forward to the New Carniola, whatever form it may take!
I can’t believe that you quit Dr Pepper. :shocked: I thought it was impossible for anyone to do that.
never mind the coffee…did you notice the rock klaus is playing the guitar without any strings? What`s up with that?
It was a bargain. No strings attached.
nine kilos… wow…
happy holidays to you, michael, and to all your loved ones!

Did you only get caffeine through Dr.p or did you drink coffee as well? I’m interested, since I’m from the land that consumes most coffee in the world and people here look at me in horror every time I finish a pot by myself…
