Well this post is coming straight off of the local coffee shop's finished wood table (they have wi-fi here). So I thought that I might have a better chance at coming up with an interesting post with a difference in surroundings.
As I sit here pondering life's mysteries, sipping my White Chocolate steamer. I can't help but think that I don't have much to write about mainly because my mind is being quite fully stimulated with the pleasent welcoming atmosphere this shop airs. There is a large television on the wall tuned to a canadian channel airing some sort of cartoon but it is not a program bent toward educating children in the least actually it has rather disturbing images of cloud like looking figures doing some uncomprehendable action to a goal of unknown understanding. For the most part I pay little attention to the television as my attention is tuned mainly to the screen I'm writing in, also the temporature of my drink as to how fast I should be drinking it before it becomes rather unsavory.
Nestled safely in forest between two mountains with a river flowing through all forming a valley is this little town where this coffee shop takes up business. For as small a town as this is it is rare to even find a shop like this; gormet coffee prepared by a certified berrista, it is quite a treat for a country origin guy like me. I've lived in this little town of 900 for 15 years and before that I lived in an even smaller town. So as you can see I have quite a different viewpoint for the avarage guy who would be found on the internet. The thing is though is that a place like this can't actually exist in a town like this, there is just to little business in this town to hold up a one product type shop as this, I mean even the grocery store has a hardware store renting one side of the building and believe it or not there is a full pharmacy just next to the electrical sockets and lighebulbs asle.
Though this is kind of a cramped little town it's not to bad to retire in and is kind of a low speed low energy kind of town it is home to me, and someday I plan on retireing here. That is after I have lived everywhere else.

Catch Phrases
Ever notice them? Sometimes they are like wow! And then they are just plain dumb. Like of course "Bow-Chika-Bow-Wow" from "red vs. blue" is at the moment the most awesome catch phrase in existance it means nothing and yet means absolutely nothing at the same time (and yes I know that is a double negetive, but a double negetive always equal a positive, go do the math!).
Then there are 'stupider' catch phrases like "hex-yes", or old worn out varieties suchlike "wasup" and "peace"... Occasionally people will take old catch phrases and twist them into 'newish' phrases, take for instance "peace" which has been changed into "peace-out" wich has been resurrected numerous and countless, countless, times. Also there was a small period where wasup became "Wasabe!" but most people do not really know that 'wasabe' is a japanese hot souce. I always try to inform them of the fact that they are using a condiment as a catch phrase wich is from a third parties position quite possibly the most stupid thing anyone has ever heard and that isn't a double negetive, it's just a negetive, a really annoying repeated in its own right kind of negetive. And besides they probably shouldn't use that term unless they have at least tried wasabe souce first (I know I have!--bow-chika-bow-wow).
Oh and no Ben Alpha I am not copying your post. I actually have been inending on posting about "catch phrases" for quite some time and figured now is as good a time as any. And we might have just inadvertantly stumbled on the very best catch phrase ever. Besides your "Face!" or "your Mom" also the slightly improved "wash your face!" or the what I like to call, the super compound catch phrase: "your mom washes your face".
Oh and and lets not forget your favorite cook show catch
phrases "bam," "pow," "wow," "slam," and then the mixed types "kapow" even "kapowee". These are just lame attepts at making what would normally be a normal and well informing cooking show that would be marginally interesting to watch into a lame cheesy attept to gather watchers. But who watches the HGTV channel anyway; besides your mom of course?
In closing, I look good in red--thank you "The H Star!"

Shillyshally
Hey I just finished a book last night, it's taken me two or three weeks to read it, I wish I hadn't procrastinated reading it. I spent four or so hours last night reading till my eyes burned but it was a great book. You know procrastination never helped anyone. As a matter of fact it not only doesn't help but sets you back at the same time; it even makes you work harder. You have cushy job somewhere and a little work to do, but hey you have this broken down shed, or car, or porch that needs cleaned. The more you put it off the more work you have to do. Reading a book for instance, it feeds and exercises your mind. If you don't read that book when you can, you can't get to the next one and work your mind even more. It's been proven that learning and working your mind keeps you healthy in both body and mind, therefore you will live longer.
I admit I'm a bit of a procrastinator I even linger a little to long in bed at times, and I always regret it. I'm groggy twice as long when I wake up and I'm usually tired most of the day, also I go to bed way to late which makes me sleep even longer the next day--yes I am working on it. Usually when I put a post like this up it's because I need to get it through my own head.
I must also admit that though sleeping is a big cunctation (10 dollar word of the day) for me; I have a distaste of other types of it--When I make a plan to do something I do it. I do not like waiting on things to happen. I don't understand why people will say they are going to do this, but it will not be till say the day after tomorrow, or 2 - 3 hours from now. But I suppose if it was now it would be doing something along the lines of pushing off the things they are supposed to do now.
Anyway that's all I have for now and it helps me figure things out hope it helps someone else. Now I'm going to go get ready to do things I have been putting off.
