ode to coffee and beer

Without any exaggeration involved, I have been living off of coffee for the last week. On monday the worst possible thing happened. I was setting up my coffee maker to prepare for the long evening ahead, and when I turned to set it down, the pot fell, ans shattered the most heart wrenching sound imaginable - to a coffee addict that it. So needless to say I have been taking advantage of the local wawa and starbucks coffee provided by the school. Both equally as enjoyable and job fitting. Hopefully the stout 12oz will get me through the day...

In philosophy class, we exmained a piece of the philosophy of beer. I detest beer, I prefer the hard? stuff. Regardless my roomate and I decided to have an ode to beer tonight- along with my suitemate. So old school beer night tonight- Beast and Games. I love game & Beast is among the beers I can tolerate. The taste of beer though, just throws me off! Maybe Ive just had shitty beer my whole drinking career of 3 years, or the smell reeks of memories of my alcoholic father. Both rather valid...Needless to say at one point I HATED coffee,the taste but grew to like it 7 pretty much need it to function unless I want to spiral into a sleep filled 2day detox. Can the same fate happen for beer? Maybe not totally, but beer can be good. Ill worry about the calories later.


On a site I just found, you can apparently Brew your own Beer in a coffee maker. WHOOAAA blow my mind amazing!! That experiment will definatly need to take place inthe summer.For now, Im dedicated to school with a little pleasure of alochol here and there.

This morning my weight was 121.8 How.Amazing. That is literally about 25lbs lighter than this time last year. Im pretty proud of myself. Even though I couldnt lug myself to the gym today, all will be forgiven tomorrow.

This made me giggle though- have a good thirsty thurs

can people really revert and go primal? YES THEY CAN

It seems as though, the ignorant citizens of this here US have gone apeshit so to speak. Since President Obama has taken office, certain people have taken the liberty to kiss his ass, and raise hands in praise for a black man has risen.

Hold Up.

Were we not as American citizens pulling away from the color aspect? Were we not striving to dismiss differences, and unite as ONE country? Now all of a sudden the brother and sisters are one with the leader of all who reside here, all of a sudden they are superior. Granted, it's a stride, but have pride in somthing other than superficiality. Have pride in his ideals, and morals, have pride in his amazing speaking and captiviating ability, have pride in what he may be able to do - not his skin color.

Its like 9 inch nails dragging along a chalkboard the Great Wall of China distance.
A) WE do not OWE you anything- as so many have been accustomed to believe
b) Become educated in what he stand for not what he looks like
C) he is a leader. and a symbol for all not a specific few

Each ehtnicity and culture have had their own battles and mountains to overcome - and they have. Blacks are no exception and need to stop acting like they are.

Just a peeve I have.


ps. a majority of whites voted for obama.
