Why is it that we live in a society where the only size of a coffee you can get is a large? And why is everything so expensive in a bookstore, when everything's going digital? and why oh why do we live in any kind of world, where the country that invented hockey lose to one ugly looking Russia?

To start it off, let's talk about Starbucks. Yes, its delicious and very couture, but any coffee shop that you can find at the corner of every street seems a little excessive. Anyone watching their diet or their budget should avoid this place; anyone with anxiety problems or claustrophobia should also avoid it. Not only is every drink on the mennu over three billion calories, but they are also all atleast four dollars each. Those two factors combined should make any decent person turn away, but still it is full and packed at any given time. If you're passing through on your way to work, you'll be in line long enough for you to change your mind a couple times. If you're intending to stay a while, it is an unwritten rule of starbucks that if you snag any decent seat in the place you DO NOT MOVE; therefore making it impossible to find a seat. All of these things in one little, coffee-bean-smelling package should prompt you to never enter again. Heed my warnings, and if not, try the chocolate banana smoothie, it's not so bad.

Next, in this day and age of technology and speed, why is it twenty five dollars for a decent sized novel, and why doesn't everyone jump on this obviously still thriving market? I am guilty of buying more than a library of books, but I am also builty of downloading audio books online. I do not doubt that there are written copies of novels online, so why are book prices so expensive? If the books are still selling, there clearly should be more authors out there who could be making millions putting out their own two cents! Long ranting short, make books less expensive, you'll sell more in these technology times.

Last but not least, what the hell Canada? I avoid facebook all evening, fully aware that the Canada juniors game is on, and then I come on a steady amount of time after the game, and BAM. The news feed is swamped and littered with statuses floating around the Canada loss to Russia in the final period. How do I know this without watching the game? Social networking. Why am I disappointed? Same reason. Yeah, it sucks that they lost because well let's face it, we're supposed to rock at hockey and that just isn't showing. We need to start living up to this whole ice and play hockey reputation, because lately that has just been non-existent. So what I'm trying to say is if Canada actually won tonight, it would've been more enjoyable to be on facebook, ergo, please win Canada.

So this was a random day, a result of being at a bookstore and a bitter trip to the dentist this afternoon, followed by a peaceful evening with Sir watching 500 Days of Summer, Have a good night, until tomorrow,
