one lonely success

the girls at starbucks are nice and let me sit at their prime table all evening long studying and ordering nothing but solo espresso’s. all i have to offer them in return is a modest contribution to their tip jar and a smile.

the solo espresso is the greatest drink on the starbucks menu. aside from intravenous injection, it is the quickest way of delivering much needed caffeine to your system. all this can be had for a buck-fiddy.

when i placed my order, the barista called me sweetheart, not in the romantic or sexual way but in the “you’re an innocent little boy way“. this reminded me of my mama and tonight a random barista in a random town reminds me of home.

apologies for the mid-evening starbucks-flavored-ramblings.
