Koma Chillaxation Drink Unwind
Last night I had a plan. A deadly plan? Perhaps, but if it were I escaped deaths cold embrace. You can read about part one here.
So the night wound down. We finally drove what was remaining of the ground out into the foggy streets with the “terrible” music we were playing. I packed up my gear, hung out with some friends who work at the bar for a bit and then headed out. As I hinted at briefly Buffalo was under a deep fog last night. It was beyond creepy. I’ve seen the movies. I know what kind of creatures live in the fog, and I want no part of them, okay maybe I would like a glance of them. I got in my car, turned the stereo up loud and hit play on The Omen soundtrack. If you ever want creepy mood music that album is the way to go.
As I pulled away I cracked open this can of Koma. As you may or may not know if I have any sort of stimulant after, oh I don’t know….noon, I can’t fall asleep at night. It’s a fairly recent thing that began about six months ago. It’s pretty terrible, but drinks like this help keep me in line. I knew I was going to have trouble since I drank that can of Liquid Ice at around 10PM. So I drank the contents of the can as I made my way down to the waterfront in the fog to fully enjoy the creepiness of it all. To my surprise this drink also tasted like liquefied candy. This time it was Pixie Stix, specifically the blue and purple ones. I have no complaints with that. I am a kid at heart, with an apparent subconscious desire for diabetes. So there I was driving around in an insane fog listening to a choir yell in Latin about the devil. I started to feel a bit “chillaxed” (god I hate that word), so I decided I should make my way home. I made it without incident from the fog, or as a side effect of my beverage. I climbed into bed where I promptly fell asleep. Oh wait no that didn’t happen. I laid there for hours, but in a relaxed state. It was strange. Normally when I can’t sleep my mind is racing, but last night I was just awake, not really thinking about anything. Obviously the drink worked a bit, as I was relaxed, but not as well as other beverages of this type I have tried. Well perhaps I shouldn’t say that since I did drink an energy drink five hours prior. I don’t blame you Koma. I wish you were stronger so I could sleep but then you would be a sleep drink and not a relaxation one. I guess I just used you for the wrong purposes. You did taste pretty nice though.

Koma Sugar Free Unwind
Sometimes you have a long day at work and when you get home you just want to sit back relax with your ladyfriend and your cats and watch a movie. Sometimes you still feel stressed, so you drink a relaxation drink to help mellow you out. Sometimes that relaxation drink is a can of the sugar free version of Koma Unwind. Always that drink will taste like the strangeness that would be diet Pixie Stix. Instead of tasting like flavored ground down sugar it now tastes like flavored ground down sucralose. It’s somehow not completely terrible. I don’t like it as much as the normal, but for those of you out there who are accustomed to diet drinks this would probably taste pretty darn awesome.
Sometimes about a half hour after drinking this drink your still conscious, but your body feels like it is asleep. Sometimes it’s a strange sensation and it makes you feel restless, because you’re not in bed and asleep. Sometimes you give in and go to bed. Sometimes you have dreams that you’re a criminal breaking into a broken down Dave Foley’s house to break into a safe. Sometimes he comes home and you sneak out the back into a neighborhood park. Sometimes he comes out and you chat each other up. Sometimes you ask if you can use his bathroom so you can go back in and recover the jacket you left behind. Sometimes Dave Foley has a completely disgusting toilet. Sometimes the next thing you know a truck with a gallows on it is pulling up for your execution. Sometimes you make it so the truck rolls down the hill into the lake in order to not die. Then sometimes for some inexplicable reason you dream about drawing highly lifelike pictures of Hugh Laurie.
Sometimes life is very strange with Koma.

Koma Relax 5 Hours Unwind
Overnight flights are simultaneously the best and the worst. They are the bet because you can sleep through most of the flight and it seems to pass quickly, which is always appreciated. Even if I have an early morning flight I tend to stay up the whole night before, just so that I can sleep on the plane.
They are the worst because no matter how tired you are; you never get a consistent sleep. It’s impossible to get “sleep comfortable” on a plane. There’s no place to put your head and if you try to sleep in a full sitting position your head will inevitably fall forward like you were in some boring class in high school that just put you out. Case in point is my last day in Vegas and the flight home. I woke up at 7:30 am and went and ate far too much at breakfast. Then I walked around all day to wear myself out. There was a point where I just thought that if I just sat down anywhere I would pass out, but I stayed vertical and kept moving. Our plane left around midnight. I tried to stay awake until they approved use of portable electronic devices so that I would put on some sleepy music to drown out all the noise around me. I remember the plane starting to move on the runway, but I apparently couldn’t keep my eyes open for another minute because I was out before the plane left the ground. You would think that a situation like that would be ideal, but as it turns out that sleep lasted me a whole twenty minutes of a five-hour flight. As to be expected, my head fell forward and I woke up, unable to fall back asleep. Luckily I had planned ahead and brought a Koma Unwind with me. I quickly downed the berry chemical flavored liquid, which I initially thought was horrible, but left a pleasant aftertaste. It’s rare that these shots truly taste pleasant, so I’ll take all of the niceness I can get out of them. After about 10 minutes of pondering the taste I was asleep again. I wasn’t able to sleep through the flight, I woke up probably every 20 minutes or so, but the unwind shot helped me to fall back to sleep with relative ease. The moments that I was awake were extremely annoying, but I will take that collective 2 minutes over being conscious for a five-hour flight any day.
