Starbucks

It was nice going for a walk, the sun was out and it wasn't cold. After shoppers I decided to get some tea at the new Starbucks they built by my place. I've always been a Timmies person, and was bias towards Starbucks. I always thought the people in there looked snooty. You know, those "artsy fartsy" types, with shiny macs on their laps, thick frames, and clothes that look like it was either bought at a garage sale or a thrift store, probably both. Go here to see what I mean : http://www.yourscenesucks.com/.

I don't know why I didn't like those types. I think it might be because I see so much of them, they all sorta look the same. When there's so much of the same and they are always together in the same areas, they just come off like fakes, posers, just trying to look "hip" and be part of a crowd. It didn't bother me, it wasn't like I'd see them and think "aw fuck, I hate those guys". I wasn't totalllly ignorant. I mean, who knows, maybe every single one of them loves Apple products, loves mixing wacky retro clothes together, loves that sturdy feeling thick frames can only provide, and especially loves hangin' out at Starbucks like no tomorrow. Okay that's totally mean, I guess what I'm saying is, I want to still give them the benefit of the doubt.

Either way, I just figured I didn't want to be around them, maybe I felt like I wasn't going to fit in or I just really liked Timmies. Besides, I really didn't like that whole "venti, grande, tall" bullshit. I get it, I get it, its all Italian and shit, and "venti" is twenty in Italian, and a "venti" is around 20 ounces at Starbucks, but geebus come on.

Anyway, I sorta liked just sitting there drinking my tea today. It was nice, they had nice music playing. That's what's very different than Timmies. Music really adds to the atmosphere. Of course their interior design is pretty nice too. I'm not saying I hate that very utilitarian style of Timmies, it's all about function with Timmies. Starbucks is about pleasure I guess. The crowd's always like 15 years younger than your common Timmies crowd, which is sorta nice. I was really getting depressed being surrounded by old people. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, it was nice. Plus, this Starbucks wasn't really packed with a lot of scenesters.

I cleaned and organized my room a bit, it has been a mess lately. I took a picture of my little coffee table, which I now use keep some books. I need to go to Ikea or something, get one of those book braces that holds a pack of books together from tipping. Yes, I took a picture of it, I liked how it looked.
