Caffeinated Consciousness

Monday, March 21, 2005

Monday afternoon and I'm feeling the desire for coffee. Espresso coffee. From Starbucks. Not because they taste the best but because I've been conditioned that a white cup with a green siren logo on it suggests meaning. For more than the price of a small meal I can get validation/inspiration/debt in a paper cup. And I do. And I will keep doing it.

My girlfriend is in Vegas and I'm staying in tonight to watch movies and do laundry. And sell shit on eBay. And daydream, as I always do.

Hunter S. Thompson is on everyone's lips. Well, every thinking person's lips. I never knew of him until I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a few months ago and then he up and kills himself. Of course now I'm enticed into wanting to read everything he ever wrote. Not just cos there's buzz, but because of who is talking about this buzz. People I admire and people I've never heard of.

Hey Matt.. It's Dina. I just wanted to drop in and say hello. From time to time when I'm sitting around totally exhausted and don't really find the energy to move I pick up the labtop and do a little bit of the IM but I always find myself coming to your blog for a quick read. Not only do I get enjoyment from reading whats up with you but I myself have started blogging. I find it theraputic actually, a remedy if you will for my ever so congested life of work and school. I really don't type anything super intellectual but I do type what's on my mind and I enjoy doing it. So if you feel the urge to check in on the Dinadawg, take a look.
