Why hello there!

I’ve realized that I may have been a little lazy since the beginning of summer, so I’m back now.  To post something.  On our awesome magical BLOG..  Which stands for Ball of Logical Original Grumbling. 

Anyway, it’s like one in the morning and I have to work at eight at my magical job as a barista.  Maybe a bad call, but I always make it anyway.  My little sister, the one we would call Jay, keeps taking pictures of me.  She’s like trying to record my life or something, but it is becoming extremely annoying.

 

This is not the point though, I was going to talk about something that mattered.

But I honestly cannot think of what it was.

I’m tired, I will come back to you soon…. with ALL of the answers….

seriously??

okay, so I know cool kid bloggers love to write about things like this, but I honestly have to. I have had to use “boy bratz” for a school project, and was thoroughly disturbed.

the perfectly sculpted countours of their chest and other parts *cough* are that of a greek god. Trust me, I enjoy looking at atractive men just as much as any other man loving person, but seriously, after having to dress and redress these things a hundred times, it makes you feel icky. If i was a mother I would not want my baby girl seeing what is under those “bangin threads”, they get used to it and then they become prostitutes later in life. Just thought I should get my opinion out there, I realize this post was mediocre.

20oz Cappuccino

So I thought that I’d get right into it, because I thought of something that annoys me.

As a lifelong member of the PNW, Blaine, WA (near seattle) born and bred, I do enjoy the occasional latte. Espresso does delight me and sometimes I think that that’s the only thing I really need in the world, a place to sleep and a mocha.  To add more authority to the following analysis, I was a barista for two years.

So here’s what’s up: don’t order a 20oz cappuccino. To understand why you need to know the basics of espresso:

espresso- really strong coffee (1oz= 1cup)

Latte- espresso shots and steamed milk

mocha- latte with chocolate sauce or flavoring

cappuccino-espresso shots with foam from steamed milk (no actual milk)

 

 Back in Italia and Fronce, high class men order cappuccinos.  MEN.  Who can handle their espresso thick and stong, bitter and forceful.  Originally the idea was to have one or two shots of espresso in a dainty pewter cup, topped with a dollop of foam, to save the espresso’s integrity. These men sip at their respectful amount of coffee and enjoy the refreshing day out on the plaza.

Speed up time enter america and we get: the 20oz CAPPUCINOOOOOO

Nobody really exaggerates when they say America is ravaged by obesity.  Take a day trip to Birch Bay and you will get all of the proof you need.  The point of a coffee shop is sophistication, to enjoy that sip of quality that supplies both flavor and energy, it is truly magic. But as Americans we want more, we want excess; we love the sound of “cappuccino” and want it, in large masses.

 

BUT WAIT: THINK TWICE.  DON’T DO IT.

 

Cappuccinos weren’t made for America. FOAM is disgusting in large quantities.  It’s the burnt part of the milk.  It needs espresso or sugar to give it any kind of characteristic. If you order 20oz of foam, you’re ordering air.  THINK ABOUT IT. Hold the to-go cup in your hand.  How much does it weigh? Think about… yes, that’s right, about the same as NOTHING. Two or three ounces of espresso, and NOTHING. For around 4 or 5 dollars.  That’s a great call by yourself, and don’t worry, I’m not labeling you as an obese, unintelligent, or unsophisticated consumer.

So NEXT TIME order a white chocolate mocha, because that’s what I like to sip.  And believe me- I get all of the calories I pay for.

okay now.

Me and meesh were in getting icecream in the bay, and we had an encounter with a friendly canadian fellow. he was super nice, because meesh was was grunting because she couldn’t unlock our car, and he laughed about it with us (and this is a big deal in birch bay). when you look at him he was obviously metro, he was wearing foundation for christ’s sake. but then he bent over and revealed boxers that said “attitude” on them, along with “tough”, and “viscous”. Michelle insisted that he was straight, but I wasn’t quite sure. this wouldn’t be anything if michelle wasn’t such a jesus loving know-it-all.

me and michelle have a long interesting summer ahead of us. so check our effing blog to learn about our amazing adventures and thoughts on life. We steal dogs and big bunches of balloons,  we pretty much do the most random yet ballsy shit there is to do in this rediculous conservative town.

Some things about me? I love art more than anything. i am a tea addict. I love lynden. I eat alot of rice pudding. I am super friendly, but I also speak my mind. I’m mature for my age (I think). music is the sheit, so I might do some music/band related posts or whatever. but you don’t care. because bloggers are smart people. there is a time and a place to prove your intelligence, and people who try to prove that in a lame blog are just boring lame people, so read our blog instead. expect the amazing thoughts of a freshman with unexpected opinions. thats all you need to know about me. so yeah.

*note that michelle is censoring me because I swear like a sailor. we have to be “credible”, what ever she means by that.

 

P.S. there is this guy named krisitan freeman. he thinks his blog is the shit but ours is gonna be sooo much better. nobody cares about nano-technology. go to krisitanfreeman.com and observe the the flippy haired -douche bag for yourself.

ice cream

Just so you know, I think you can have boxers that say “attitude” on them and just be self-concious. But Jay’s perspective can offer some insight.
