Coffee, Caffeine, Cocaine

I’ll have a fair-trade-double-mocha-no-sugar-half-cream-macchiato-with a lil heart shape on the foam

Ah, what a world. I’ll admit I was quite late into the whole coffee dealio

Before he age of 19, coffee was simple - from a plastic tub, add water (though in my case, triple milk – milk, then carnation milk than dried milk to top off) and sugar

Now I have to admit I do frequent cafes but am far from a coffee connoisseur, I mean I dig the taste sure, but far from being addicted & as for caffeine shot: well I already professed my love for pro-plus in an earlier blog

My favourite is the banana-java-chip frappuccino from Starbucks, tis indeed heavenly

I remember once I went in and asked the lady, “So, if I just asked for a coffee what would you give?” after giving a perplexed look, she just went along with it.

She would’ve given me an Americano, and then I began the quizzing – so what exactly is an Americano (besides being dumb blondes and fugly slothes)? Café au lait? Why is it served in a tall glass? Will you date me sometime? Ah the stuff I do when I’m bored

Speaking of caffeinated beverages –

What’s the deal with Coke Zero? It’s Diet Coke just more MACHO – GRR !! But seriously, if you’re the type to be concerned over being deemed a pansy for drinking such (then again, isn’t the drinking the sugar-free version of a soft drink a bit pussy anyway?) then don’t pussyfoot about and engage in some serious male bravado; Drink a cocaine laced coca-cola & may as well throw in some heroin there for good measure, make it a speedball coketail

Can’t you just feel the testosterone raging?

Having said that, I will admit to thinking that stuff, well sugar-free versions of Red Bull & Diet coke with Cherry being my faves (no thanks to fattening sugar, but sure to carcinogenic sweeteners)

Hang on!! Did I just call myself a pussy? Fuck !!

Her

Her

Funny how we have to wait a seeming eternity to enjoy true bliss,

Moments that last no time at all, but set in your mind forever

A life-time spent, days without end, repeating with only their names changing

Till one day she arrives, seemingly from nowhere. Captivated by her allure, he engages her in conversation. Words exchange, he realises what an enigma she is and therein begins his attempts to decipher her

She asks what he desires in life;

“I desire you,
You desire the unknown,
It's more fun that way,
But not always the safest way,
Sometimes throwing caution to wind is what is needed,
Not the smartest way,
I’m obtuse.”

She rings – Her voice, soft, warming mirroring her words, even her silence, devoid of sound but not emotion.

The call ends, he smiles and goes to sleep

He begins to understand that he is living in a transient state. The days no longer seem so vacuous

Time goes on; they talk intermittently, the rapport still there. Yet, she can’t offer what he desires, so she asks;

“Why are you so persistent?
Some things are worth chasing
Some times you are wrong
Then so be it.”

He reflects. He wonders if he truly is wrong - He soon finds out.

The calls stop. She’s gone, back to the nothingness of which she arose from

It was only love in the abstract but he isn’t complaining, for the smiles were real.

Amber

Will you change to green already?

It went down like Northern Rock’s share prices. If you’re confused, I’m talking about a greeting I used to Amber

Who is Amber?

Well, Amber, Amberosia, Ambercrombie&Fitch (she hates that, hence I put it in) or just plain ol’ Ambey is the new fascination in my life

If you’ve read my older post you’ll notice I have a thing for Valley Girls and no prizes for guessing where she hails from

Yup, Cah-lee-forn-a-yeeeh!! The OC no less and I’ve been …well smitten

Is it the accent? The über -hawtness? The fact she’d give Tom Sawyer a run for his money? The glasses? She’s named after fossilized tree resin? Perhaps it’s just the odd combo of all them =] (oh she’s desi too, I know right? cha-ching)

I would write more but to be frank cos of the time difference, I end up talking either before going sleep, or first time … and I’m half asleep at both so I don’t really remember the conversations so good but she does make me laugh and I pwn her ass at Connect4 but she pwned me at countdown so it seems my literary prowess has taken a hit

I need to blog more …

Adios
