I *heart* Coffee

Yes, I am addicted to caffeine and I do frequent starbucks. I love going out for coffee even if I don't ended up buying any. The enviorment of a coffeehouse is relaxing. You can have fun or intense conversations or debates because you don't care who's around you because you know that everyone else is having their own convo or in a deep concentration reading their novel or email. I think coffeehouses have become so popular because people want to be with other people. Also for all those underagers, myself being one of them, it's like the only place to hang out besides ram's horn. :)

I thought it was very interesting in Jiving with Java when Marriott talked about how some coffeehouses have laundry machines and coin-computers. I think that there are two kinds of coffeeshops...(1) actual chains i.e. starbucks and (2) mom & pop's/family owned and operated.I think those are excellent marketing strategies for genuine coffeehouses. But, let's be serious starbucks and caribou don't really care about the atmosphere or the coffeehouse, all they want is your $4 for your tall vanilla latte.


p.s. I drink at least one cup of coffee everyday :-X

Very nice analysis of the reading, i enjoyed reading about you're addiction to coffee and how you like to go to just chill and not necessisarily drink coffee. Good luck with your coffee addiction, and try to find some help asap. :-)

LOL! for me, coffee is gross. I like flavored coffees, like cappuccinos, but if I can taste too much of the "coffee" flavor, eew.

Oh, and btw, how do you get all the different colors and font sizes to show up like that in your blogs? (sorry, I'm new to the whole blogging thing)
