I guess what I'm trying to say is, Starbucks is not cool. They are the antithesis of cool. They are as corporate as they come. They are wolves dressed in hippie clothing tricking you into thinking you are cool for visiting their establishment. I'm going to make this statement here and now, so I stick to it: I will not be buying Starbucks coffee anymore. This is hard for me, since I've turned into one of those who gets a headache if not enough coffee is consumed in a day and with Starbucks everywhere, it's very convenient to just stop in, even if it's, "just this one time." However, this attitude is what has lead to Starbucks being built across the street from...Starbucks. This happened down the street in my old neighborhood. Starbucks bought my favorite coffee shop, which had free Internet, and turned it into a Starbucks, when directly across from it was already a...Starbucks. Both places, you need a T-Mobile account to get online. This needs to stop. Viva La Revolution!
Another cool point about Cafe Marco: it's within walking distance to my apartment.
Also, it has delicious fresh pastries, not stale ones, (eh hem, I'm looking at you Starbucks).
Ok, I'm signing off since I'm pretty sure I'm now on the Starbucks hit list. If I mysteriously disappear or if a sniper rifle...you know...I trust you to take over the revolution.

So glad to see you have a Blogger!! Let's see some pix about Mr. Napoleawn. His ladies out East want to see their boyfriend.
I am here not to speak of cats, but of coffee.
Bravo to you. This is only the beginning of a beautiful slippery slope. Next thing you know, you'll be growing organic turnips in pots on your balcony, and one day...ONE DAY...there will be cloth diapers made of organic cotton.
Oh yes. It's a beautiful thing.
In other coffee news, Beaner's is changing its name to Biggby's because it came to the owner's attention that Beaner is a racial slur, and he thinks this is "just the right thing to do." Bravo to him, too...even if Biggby's isn't nearly as catchy.
Come visit. We'll go to Kava House. You'll love it.
