This is going to be a quick and simple post, becasue I need somewhere to rant about this new starbucks campain.

Starbucks has now come up with the idea that people are going to buy instant coffee from them. Scary thing is, they are right!

They have finally gone off the coffee deep end. Every little TINY bit of respect I was slowly gaining from starbucks has 

now just been flushged down the drain. 

First of all there is NO SUCH THING as a FRESH cup of instant coffee, I dont care how many words Starbucks throws in a Stupid internet commercial (http://www.starbucks.com/coffee/c17-instant-coffee.aspx) saying all kinds of technical words that they know regular Starbucks customers are going to belive and fall for…They are lying to you. It is just not possible. 

The only way to get a fresh cup of coffee is from FRESH GROUND BEANS. On location, and brewed right in from of you.

Now I know alot of people are not going to care, becasue they are not the coffee geek that I am, but what they need to think about is that this VIA instant brew is not cheep, and if you really want a fresh cup of coffee, your going to STILL save money by stopping by your local coffee house and getting one. One that has been hand mande and cared for. 

Starbucks has finally resorted to a plain and simple method of just wanting to make more money. MORE MONEY. 

They may tell 

you that they care about your cup of coffee, but if you buy this new instant brew, your only going to be instnaly flushing 

your money down the pooper on a poorly cared for fash, cup of muck.

Who would think that a simple cup of coffee could do much more than give you tour daily fix or quick pick me up.

Working with coffee has always made me happy. I love everything about coffee. The preperarion of quality espeseo, perfecting the art of milk preperation and latte art, the taste of differnt blends, but somthing makes the idea of a coffee house even better for me every time I think of it.

When I have a customer come up and just want their coffee and to be on their way, that’s fine and totally their choice, tho when people spark quality conversation, that’s where I’m coming from. Two people can learn so much from eachother, just over the bar. You can pick someone up if there having a bad day, and they can do the same for you.

A quality cup of coffee only STARTS with the beans. There is a awesome coffee house on the west coast called “counter culture” and I love that name becuae it’s true. It’s a culture of coffee, people and life. That is why a coffee house will always be my place to explore mind and body. And a good cup of coffee if all works out well.

Latte!

Oh and before I begin, just a FYI…BARACK OBAMA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT! sorry…had to do it…

On another note, the media needs to find something to cover, and FAST. Im sick of seeing president bush dodge a flying shoe and that was heading directly at his head. Its just not funny anymore. Now maybe if it HIT him in the head I would not be telling them to stop showing it, because I mean come on thats funny, thats REAL NEWS!

What has been happening with me? Not to much really. Now you may think that just because I have not blogged in a long time means that nothing has happened. Thats not true obviously, tho some things are good to limit because they just are not really fun to read.

I plan on getting my album done very shortly, I have already had interest from a local magazine in reviewing the album. This is a bit of a boost I need I guess to get the thing polished and done. I do know now that the album will cost 5$ and will be hardcover only at first so you will need to contact me for a copy. I plan to have it purchasable online by the new year, hopefully. I have been in talks with a website called trackitdown.net to set up my own digital label. I have owned a digital label in the past and made a tiny chunk of cash off of it. That was then, this is now. I hope to do this again and make a lot more profit on something I have worked so hard to finish.

Christmas is right around the corner and im ready for it. I have a lot of shopping to get done still, that is kinda of stressing me out because everyone is so hard to buy for this year. I got some awesome gifts for people though. I hope everyone will be happy.

We have made some awesome promo videos for Journeys Coffee. Paul did a awesome job of editing them, check youtube soon for them to be uploaded. I will post them here as well in the coming days.

Things have been good, life is pretty awesome currently. A lot of good things are happening for me and for that I am thankful!

As much of a boring blog post this is, you have all pushed me to write one so i did. I will try my hardest to keep posting blogs. As much as some things have frustrated me as of late im sure that will not be a huge problem for me haha.

I hope everyone is doing well and is having a great holiday season!
