It is 9:22. I am not about to go and actually purchase a Starbucks beverage at this time of night. The last time I did, I ended up not sleeping for two entire days. It wasn't pretty. For the sake of an entry, I will begin this blog with a quote stolen from the Starbucks website
"Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up."
- Dean Karnanzes, Author of Ultramarathon Man
Last year I had my schedule all planned out. I had my job, volunteering to feed the homeless, school and some semblance of a social life all tucked away into their proper places on my mental schedule. I was passionate about everything on my plate, and I was going to do it all. However, it turns out that people need to sleep, and that alone time is essential to living a healthy and balanced life. After about a week, I dropped several of my volunteer/extra curricular projects. I simply did not have the time to tackle everything I wanted to do. Then, I decided to quit the horrible job, in order to put my energies into my horrible school and horrible commitments. That winter sucked. But I held on, and didn't give up. Mr. Karnanzes would be proud!
Much like Eddie Izzard likes his women like he likes his coffee (in a plastic cup), I like my wisdom printed on a cardboard one. A cup, that is, not a woman. So, each entry shall be inspired by the words of wisdom printed on Starbucks cups or, being a starving college student who cannot afford a heroin-like addiction to overpriced coffee, taken from the section of the Starbucks website that randomly selects the quotations used on the cups.
