I have a higher and grander expectation of life than average and everyday, but I am a realist and understand that life is 90% mediocre and 10% amazing; I can lie to myself, living as ignorance is bliss, but Instead, I choose to enjoy every bit grand or low.

Its been a long long long long long long time!
To answer Mr. Stark's question: I have been to the depths of despair and rose to the surface with only my self to blame. Yet, I am alive with new light, life and purpose. Another year begins and all the bad of the past, slinks away to hide for posterity. I almost lost my job, had trouble with college financing, lost a hope, and regained order from the chaos. I AM BACK ! Look for new posts, soon. I think...don't quote me on this, but I have finally figured out college and am enrolled in classes. I didn't even fail the first assignment. Hope all my cyberspace blogfellows are well, happy, and healthy. I can't wait to check out all the new posts.
Here are some very interesting statistics about how we university students spend our money. The average person drinks 3 cups of coffee. I did a little math to add up what Starbucks brings in from the average Starbuckian a year:
$4 a venti latte(x)
2 times a day(x)
7 days a week(x)
52 weeks a year
=$2912 per year
Now, lets just take it a bit farther:
110 million adult US consumers(x)
$2912
=$320,320,000,000
Lets just say....its no wonder coffee is hot!
By the way...just think of what we could do if we gave up just one of those cups of coffee a day and gave that money to a worthy cause. End childhood cancer? Find a cure for Alzheimer's disease? End the AIDS epidemic? Save Darfur? Bring real equality to people? End poverty?
