Coffee

I am a lover of the well roasted coffee bean. I am also a lover of the poorly roasted coffee bean. It is up and down a thing I praise the miracles of whatever isn't entropy for--or like what is totally entropy--dig?

This is by way of preface, because what I am about to say might shock you and dazzle your senses. The idea is to take coffee away for one day. From everyone.

So now that I've blown your mind, I'll explain. Coffee, or more specifically caffeine, while a pretty light little drug, fuels the over taxed minds and bodies of a lot of people. And people--and their blood--are the fuel of the awful awful capitalist machine. Take away that little snippet of fuel and what you've got is probably a reasonably grumpy, groggy and down right angry workforce. Or at least a healthy portion of it.

Thinking is, just one day. See what would happen in a single day if no one got their java on. Would bosses be slaughtered? Probably not. Would the machine collapse? Nah. But it would most certainly see a hiccup. A delightful hiccup.

I'm sort of thinking, like all the secretaries in all the offices who have to constantly refill the pot, just totally hide the stuff. Like all over the country at once. Like a much lamer fight club scheme or something.

Now I'm not suggested anyone give it up. Again...no...I love it. Just thinking maybe we should get a glimpse at how all the over caffeinated energy is being spent without our real say so. Maybe you could start using your coffee buzz to write daily blog entries about all the ideas that are whirring through your head a mile a minute.
