Coffee Keeps Us Sane

                     So this morning on the Ryan Seacrest show (the only reason I listen to radio music), he began ranting about how his coffee tasted like crap today. People started calling in saying he was over reacting, that it was just coffee, that he shouldn't let it ruin his day. A few people spoke up in defense of coffee addicts and I agree completely with them.

                      I get up around the crack of dawn every morning, and if I don't have coffee or tea will seriously be cranky the rest of the day. I don't think it's even the caffeine in it! It's like most addicts where it's more about the action than the substance. You could probably give me a hot cup of orange juice and it wouldn't make a difference to me as long as I could peacefully sip it. Given...I don't think it would taste nearly as glorious as coffee. So for the poor sad souls who are forced up at 4 AM every day, I feel for them. I can only imagine what it must be like to have a terrible cup of hot flavored water given to me as a substitute for the good stuff. I would probably be threatening to fire my staff too...(if I had any staff). I would at least be very rude to the patrons walking in to work, or asleep on the floor hoping when I woke up it would be the next day and I could try for a decent cup of coffee all over again. Let us compare good coffees:

               This coffee fully expresses my feelings towards it each morning. How can anyone say this doesn't look amazing????

                     Now this on the other hand looks like horse saliva. I don't think I need to say any more.

                     Fact is, like addicts of all kinds, coffee makes me happy. Coffee doesn't hurt you if not taken in excess, and it makes me much more alert and willing to do work. Dissing coffee is like a personal stab at my soul. So lets just all rejoice at this marvelous creation. ^_^
