Coffee is for Grown-Ups

http://shiragreenbergdesign.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/starbucks-for-college-students/

I’m sitting here thinking of at least twenty things that I need to do, places to go, and things that I’d like to do before I die. I can honesty say that I’ve never had a flood of accelerated thought and energy like this since I was a teenager. This sudden burst of life is brought to you by Starbucks.

As a child I would wake up to the smell of coffee in the kitchen brewed by my mother. My first sip was completely disgusting, but over time I associated the smell with waking up and my mom being in a good mood. As time went by I began to drink coffee as a teenager because I thought that it was the adult thing t do; grab a coffee, read a magazine, cross my legs at the knee. I never drank it as a means to draw from the energy giving properties all the adults in my life claimed that it possessed. It tasted like hot ice cream, or a frothy shake to me.

Now that I’m standing at the threshold of 30 I find myself needing a cup. I had taken a break from 5bucks as many have come to call it, for over two years. But this morning, I got my first cup in the morning in a while, no food on my stomach, just coffee followed by fresh cut fruit… This is the most wired that I’ve ever been in my entire life. I’d been drinking it completely wrong. My normal cups had been accompanied by carbs and too late in the day to be effective.

I stand here flying through this post, writing at just about the speed in which you are reading this as a living testimony. Coffee is for Grown-ups! Kids don’t even get to understand what the precious bean can do. So, the next time you get some, do it right. Nothing else on the stomach, ready for the world.

Thanks for reading!

I’m working on getting something hilarious cleared for posting later on this week so stay tuned.
