proximity must have a great deal to do about how we much we go after certain things. it attunes to our sense of pride. knowing that we have something that others don't makes us self satisfied in a way.
i remember going out of my way to pass by at bo's from grad school to get my fix of iced mocha (i avoided starbucks since that one sad visit i've made eons ago. it's not about their coffee per se but the culture of their clientele that upsets me. correct me if im wrong but i bet my teletech dollars, most of the people go there to be seen). Cafe Ethiopia, Figaro, and Bo's don't look at all shabby next to it but the clientele are not as snobbish. More so, they seem to genuinely love coffee and go to these places to satisfy their craving of the enervationg brew and not merely to be seen.
going back, i spied 'kuppa' at the lobby while checking out from work. i gave it a look of longing but i heard this voice on the top of my head 'just wait an hour more and have KiLobytes brew instead'. that i did and spared myself from shelling out more than i can afford. when i get my first pay next week, maybe i can splurge a bit on it.
(my kennel is growing. it's three dogs and a cat no more so blog name is back to original)
