i've got nothing against starbucks. i worked there for a good three months and made my dent in the coffee industry. then i moved to costa rica and tasted some of the best coffee in the world, at a fraction of the price. i would drink coffee before breakfast, as a snack after lunch, and as a time filler in the afternoon. i knew it would only be a phase, but it was worth it while it lasted. now coffee seems more of a commodity, a luxury that not many of us can afford these days do to an all too struggling economy and a hike in the prices of lattes. i probably wouldn't be here if not for two reasons: the first being i'm meeting my friend wix here for good conversation for a bit, and the second that my dearest mum gave me a gift card to use. how simply wonderful.

i realize it doesn't seem like it, but drinking coffee all the time is something i really do struggle with, given the fact that coffee isn't native to the US and is entirely imported. doesn't seem like being a good steward of resources or something. but tomorrow morning i will drink my up of decaf like i do every day and forget i ever said this again....
i doubt you'll forget it...now you'll just hide it in the back of your mind every time you drink the good stuff.
the horrible part of me says, well it's here...you might as well drink it, otherwise someone else is going to.
the principal of the thing? sigh...
