what started as a facebook status...

Greatest culture shock:city mentality where most everything is about the "do" and rarely about the "who". Like the city, coffee isolates with its complication.We desensitize our appreciation for a simple cup of coffee after ordering too many soy, caramel, short mocha blah blahs. Likewise, we lose our taste for simplicity, the world around us and for ourselves (at the core) when we focus on fulfilling our MANY- EXCESSIVE personal options and dreams. Coffee and cities should bring people together. We give ourselves more options than we really need and we wonder why we've lost all sense of community. How is it, that in a place with a concentrated amount of people, people feel most void of genuine interaction? We do it to ourselves by over specificying. Life (coffee) was meant to be simple and consumed SLOWLY and ENJOYED in the precense of friends- not pushing past people on the street, in a single cubicle or behind a stack of textbooks... maybe i shouldn't be a barista, and maybe i should be ranting on paper rather than facebook...
