The Way I See It #141

The Way I See It #141

"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "hi." They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word."

Thanks Starbucks cup. You've brought me delicious coffee and wonderful words of wisdom.

Now, if only I could somehow communicate to the Starbucks cup, that the problem isnt saying "hi", it's the flurry of terrible conversation I manage to trap myself in once I say it.

So, to all the people that will eventually find themselves stuck in an awkward conversation with me about "what they've been up to since college" or "where they're working now", with no way to get out, just waiting for the oppurtunity to say "Annnnyways, I better run" just thank Starbucks and they're wonderful advice.

Seriously tho, its good advice. It's just im mildly retarded/insane. I think it would be better if they had special cups for people like me, where instead of words of wisdom, they just had some random neurotic question, that I could spend all day walking around thinking and stewing about. For example:


3 examples of the perfect Starbucks cup for me:

Example #1--

What's the deal? # 136
Why do they still make fruit on the bottom yogurt?

Example #2--

Seriously. #361
I don't think people realise how underrated potatoes are. Seriously.

Example #3--

Here's an idea... #067
Why dont you write a huge blog about a Starbucks cup, you ranting fool.



Now those are cups I could really listen to!
