‘Tis blogworthy because it is true as my caffeine levels are very high today even for me.

Surely it would be easier to scream highly offensive rainbow mouthed words at anti-coffee snobs instead of this rational and reasoned defense?

I always seem to spend January 26 by myself.
During Uni because I was the worst student ever I was always doing courses over summer and since I’ve been working I seem to find myself not ever doing anything with friends.
This year I’m alone in a city I love but am not in love with. I usually visit and enjoy it in small bursts but have been here too long for my liking.
Even though it is totally Loner Boy 5000, I feel fan-bloody-tastic. I have access to copious amount of excellent coffee, the countdown for the world’s most voted in music awards is on the radio (which besides listening to the hotness tunes for the 11th year in a row I half think I get off on hearing everyone else’s fab parties sort of like why some people read the social pages), I have a stack of weekend newspapers to really get into and I am savoring the quite satisfaction that with a three day weekend that has no distractions I will clean up my inbox, write some articles and finish a couple of business plans all of which have been neglected over the last few weeks.
OMG!!!! The Fratellis’ Chelsea Dagger has just come in only at #59 on the countdown. I voted for that and Flathead. Hmmm….Triple J proves once again that democracy doesn’t work.
To all the big brown land inhabitants and expats: Have a Happy Australia Day, Invasion Day, unAustralian Day, Hottest 100 Day, Whatever Floats Your Boat Day. Enjoy!

The fundamental problem with Starbucks is that, bottomline, their coffee is beyond awful. You probably couldnt even call it coffee to be honest. It’s more like a bland tasting - burnt if you’re lucky - brown water. When a run of the mill instant coffee tastes better you know you’ve got problems.
Yet people flock to it. Why? That’s the part i don’t get. Especially here in Melbourne where we actually have choice. I’m not talking about a choice between Hudson’s Coffee, Gloria Jeans and Starbucks, i’m talking about coffee from real cafes. I guess that’s the thing. Starbucks’s bread and butter is more likely to be their chemical-laden, calorific, cream topped bullshit sugar drinks than an actual espresso or flat white.
Ideally coffee should be fair trade and organically grown (the amount of pesticides used is enough to put you off regular coffee) so if you support Starbucks not only do you have no taste but you’re also a total asshole.
For a straight caffeine hit i’d recommend a No-Doz.

Ok. You and my life coach Denis ‘Coffee Flavored Coffee’ Leary are right. And I know they are evil, very evil. However, in my defence…
1. There is a lack of real cafes in the Brisbane CBD.
2. Where else can you ask to be called The Robot, Batman or Keyser Soze when you order and then they call it out like it is real?
3. “We met at Starbucks” from Best in Show.
4. There are Big Issue sellers outside of Starbucks so I always go buy a magazine and talk to them instead of standing in line with the suits. Makes point #2 all the more fun when I’m late and they call my fake name out loud multiple times.
5.Triple espresso anything on their menu and it tastes wonderful.

It’s like my heart is trying to hug my brain.
