I don't duck, I turn towards gunshots, I step forward when I should step back--I'd make the shortest lived action hero ever.

I've found a new logical paradox that's worthy of a name like Zeno's Paradox.
I call it the Caffeine Conundrum, which is what happens when you're stumbling around dropping your coffee beans and spilling the water because it's hard to make coffee before you've had coffee.
