welcome to the coffee waves

"For, usually and fitly, the presence of an introduction is held to imply that there is something of consequence and importance to be introduced." -Arthur Machen




Have you ever had a cup of coffee?


Now I don't mean it as your daily fix, or your pick-me-up after a long day at work. I mean, a real, relaxing, could take the stress of the day away cup of coffee. Coffee was originally used for spiritual reasons in Arabia, to allow the practitioner to experience the same affects as alcohol during the holidays where it was banned. Now I understand that there are very few out there who could get drunk off of coffee, but to understand the idea of coffee being able to bring your body and soul into a whole other level of mindset and well being always makes me think twice about my daily dosage of a cup of joe. Does your coffee do that?


In this blog, I'd like to share with you my buried treasure. In these cocrete deserts I'd like to show you glimpses of my oasis spots for a great cup of coffee, as well as teach you how to relax. In this entertainment world where everything needs to keep you on edge to understand the importance of buying dish soap, it is incredibly hard for people of this generation to sit still long enough to enjoy the peacefulness of the day's gems. It might be tough for a few of you, but I hope you'd understand that yoga isn't the only answer to relaxation. Sometimes it's easier than you think. 


My very first job was at Starbucks. I worked there for three years before I took steps to encourage my love of art. I was very much the typical busybody workaholic, never being able to sit still long enough, working extra hours for a few different jobs, I just couldn't sit still long enough. It was when I took a step back from all of my stress when i realized that there is more to life than just having the most toys, and that made me recognize the natural beauty of our fleeting world. 


Now, just because I sound like an airhead now does not make me none the less observer. Working at Starbucks for that long of a time period tends to imprint coffee recipes on the brain. I don't think I'd ever be able to forget how to make a Bone-Dry Cappuccino, or what pastry should be eaten with what beverage. I will be taking the Starbucks Steps in observation for each beverage that I consume, and I hope that my entries will be duly noted as a more professional entry, not just a hippie relishing in the atmosphere (although it will probably end up something like that).


So, without further introduction, I hope you enjoy my entries on coffee commentaries!
