Deep Thoughts: Cadenza International
Personal Touch: Starbucks Oasis
From Mike M:
Not only do I like the metaphor of Starbucks as an oasis, but I feel close to this photo because I've seen one very similar. I mean I literally see one now. I am sitting in a Starbucks, and a very similar photo is framed on the wall along with a personal letter to this very Starbucks location.
The internet is a very strange place. Sometimes you look in the void and see what's right in front of you.

- the no frills drink -- (dry cappuccino or espresso macchiato)

- the low caffeine route -- (hot chocolate, herbal tea, and occasional green tea)
It never seemed like it at the time, but now that I look back, my lifestyle seemed to fit my drink order. (Coffee imitates life? Life imitates coffee?). Perhaps my drink order reveals much more through than I originally thought.
