Working with my brothers makes me see that we are the 4%. You gotta ask me what that is.

Coast to Coast in a Coffee Cup

I was at Starbucks this morning. Yeah I rolled out of bed and Anthony drove us. Such good stuff. We're standing in line, fresh from a conversation about how perfect Pike is (that's the kind of coffee they serve at Starbucks. Its their House blend. Ever go to a B&N Starbucks and get the house blend? Well it's not the same as hitting up a real Starbucks... Well we were discussing things like this) when I look up at the board and they're advertising a Gold Coast blend also. So I'm trying to decide if I want to take the risk. Go with the bold and trusty taste of the Pike or start my morning off with some adventure and shoot for the Gold Coast. It's such a hard decision. We're inching up in line, its 9am and I'm panicking. Which do I want? I love to travel. Where is the Gold Coast anyway? Is it Africa, gotta be. I love Seattle though. That's where the Pike Place originates from. Then I'm trying to decide which place I like more. Which coast will offer me the best blend for my morning fix? It's causing beads of sweat to make themselves visible on my forehead. Now I really look like I just rolled out of bed.
Then it hits me. Where else can the many differences between the Gold Coast (wherever it is) and the fisherman's wharf of Pike Place be narrowed down to coffee flavors? How many cultural and geographical differences are bound up on those two places? Pike and the Gold Coast. I feel like I went on an international journey this morning.
I ended up with Pike. No sense ruining a good morning over a shitty brew. Maybe I'll gather my guts and try it tonight...
