I am Thomas the Train, on a 49 degree inclined plane...
Have some Coffee, have some Tea...
For the past few weeks as I have driven to various locations for whatever reasons, I've noticed the plethora of coffee shops, namely, Starbucks, on like every street corner? And yes, coffee get togethers has become the new social icon but there is a fine line between adhering to public demand and lunacy. I mean, I think it's just getting way out of hand. Take this for example: Me and Verwin went to Starbucks @ the Towne Center on Wednesday night on my way home to my folks' place. The place is packed and we're in line to place our orders...I take a look around and notice how young everyone was...dude, I swear 13 and 14 year olds having coffee...and it totally seemed normal to them. Is it just me? Or am I outside my mind? KIDS, having coffee? That is just absolutely ridiculous, I mean talk about tainting your body at an early age...and this is why I think this whole coffee phenomenon is getting just completely out of hand... Kids that young, in my personal opinion do not need loads of caffeine in their systems, I mean they have 2x the energy we already have AFTER we have coffee... Something is wrong w/ this picture, somebody do something.
Mental Ejaculations
If I was to judge cleanliness on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a complete and utter slob, and a 10 having the cleanliness of surgical proportions, I would have to classify myself as an 8.5. Now that's pretty clean, but not anal. However, my place of residence has not been reflective of an 8.5 over the past few weeks, or maybe even months. I am rarely home long enough to clean and on the weekends, well, you know where I am, so I can't possible do it then. So, in spirit of taking baby steps, I decided to tackle lil things each day, so that one day in the near future, I will have my 8.5 clean apt. Only it took me almost an hour to clean a quarter of the kitchen, namely the sink and the counter area. Is that anal? No, I think it's just really clean...I mean, would you rather have a 100% clean place that took a long while to do or a 75% clean place that was done rather hastily? I vote for the former, and not the latter... So it takes a while, at least I know it's clean...so maybe I have to amend my 8.5 and push it to a 9.1? Am I really talking about cleaning? I think I'm going crazy.
I wonder why or how people, present company included, can put their friends into such hard and trying situations. And because I am one of those who HAVE done that to people, have treaded both paths, been in the other person's mocassins, whatever you wanna call it, so there. I understand that people DO make mistakes and sometimes unknowingly put them into that position, that's one thing. But it's a completely different thing to be conscious of the fact that you are putting people into a bad situation. There's intent, and even a sense of malice in that...but why? Why would you be so blinded by your own selfishness and greed as to put these people that you know you care about and in turn care about you, through such trying times? I think that's pretty messed up.
Money is the bane of our existence...people kill for it, steal it, launder it, and every other bad thing you can probably think of, the list is probably 1000 miles long. Yet, rationally speaking, one cannot live w/o money. But then money is a relative term I guess, because if we were all farmers for example, then we would probably trade corn or wheat or whatever. That would in turn be money. I wish there was no such thing as money, that people just helped people out. Cuz then we wouldn't really be trading, we wouldn't have the mindset of giving something and expecting in return, we would just give because we KNOW we would be alright. Unfortunately, this is not heaven, and people DEFINITELY don't think like that...well most of them, anyway.
I've been writing a lot lately, and some people say it's overwhelming...welp...sorry, this is MY blog. MUAH HA HA HA!
