Essay Update

So I like the way my essay is coming along. The essay made me appreciate my community way more. I never thought there was so much history in my own backyard, which is stupid of me because i live in dearborn and it's full of history. :)

I never thought that i was going to enjoy this blogging business but I love it!! :)


ps. to answer *love me or hate me* : i do my all my colors/fonts in the "create" tab under "posting" let me know if that helps you out at all :)

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

Essayy

So I was doing some research via google aka my best friend...lol...but I found a lot of interesting things about the park I am doing my essay on. I was actually really surprised. When the essay was first assigned I wasn't thrilled about it. But now that there is actually history on something I pass by everyday without even taking a second glance...it makes me wonder about other things that I pass but regularly or even take for granted... this essay is making me realize that so many things in history contribute to my life. The next time you are driving, let's say to school or a daily trip, take a second look around...think about all the buildings and parks around you. They could be contributing to your city or the way that you live and you don't even know!
