One Morning in Starbucks on San Pedro

It's officially here ladies and gentleman. Summer in San Antonio, Texas hot and humid 79 degrees in the morning with the humidity to go with it. One has to take refuge in whatever air conditioned haven they can find. Boy, am I getting a great tan! Anyway... I am in a local Starbucks and sippin on some hot coffee. Sounds like a contradiction in terms huh? I get melancholy when I sit in a place like this. I think of my baby whom I don't get to see all that often. I will see her this sunday which is driving me crazy with excitement. Her mom is going to give me a little keyboard and guitar so that I can teach my little one how to play. I play both the piano and guitar. I play piano better though. Right now, I have very little influence on my little one's life as I don't see her much. I could have perhaps changed that, but I ultimately chose the path I am on that led me to this juncture. What matters is the here and now. She loves me. What more should I want? Anyway, those are my feelings. I just wanted the reader to know.

I am listening to Dashboard Confessional, and man this stuff is great! It all basically acoustic ballads. I downloaded a bunch a songs on LimeWire. I just love that file sharing site. I am able to get music for pretty much every mood I am experiencing. I recommend listening to a song or two while you read this, and you will feel my mood.

If I was able to write this much in English class, I would have gotton an A! But I had to settle for a C, and I barely got that. I will be taking English Comp I this fall semester God willing, and I have to admit I am scared out of my wits. What does that 12 step program say? One day at a time? Boy, I ask myself a lot of questions don't I? I will try to stop, it is probably driving you crazy.

I just ran out of coffee, the line finally fizzled out and I asked the barista to fill me up and he told me that he was in the middle of brewing fresh coffee, and I thought oh great, and then he told me he would top off my carafe for free, and wow, that made my day. How often do you get free cups of coffee at Starbucks? Have I bored you enough? Well, I think I have, so I will let you off the hook for now. :)
