Fuck Howard Schultz, Fuck him fuck him fuck him and then shit on him. Anyone who buys Starbucks, I suspect, at some point in their life suffered serious brain trauma.

I find meaning, in this meandering life of mine, by finding things to care about. Finding things that arise passion and deliver me into the now. For whatever reason sports has always done this. Playing or watching, it is easy for me to get lost in the black and white boundaries of the action.

I want to root for athletes that care more than I do. Teams that play together, where the sum is greater than the parts. Enjoyment comes from success and success is measured by expectations.

On this note, let me leave you with a quote from the Bard, and then one of my own. "If all the world were a holiday to sport would be as tedious as to work, but when they seldom come they wish for come... Nothing pleaseth but the rare accident" W.S.

Fuck Howard Schultz, fuck him, fuck him, fuck him and then shit on him. -me
