"The Way I See It" is damn Starbucks is messin with my routine!

What the balls is up with the Starbucks holiday cups?? For those of you who don't know (don't say anything because I might have to harm you... or myself) on the back of every Starbucks cup is a little quote titled "The Way I See It" followed by a number. These inspirational quotes are a perfect way to start off your day. My day is always at least 20% better when I can order that "grande soy, 4 pump, no water, chai," sprinkle the cinnamon dulce on top, make sure the cup, lid and sleeve all line up, find my destination and read my "The Way I See It." It's a glorious thing. One of the little things that brightens my otherwise mundane morning.

Last week. Holiday cups. What the hell??

Alright, so I'm not a big fan of holiday cups, lets just throw that out there and get it over with. They don't match the sleeves and they are just out of control. Second, why do we have holiday cups already?? It's not even Thanksgiving yet?? Calm down Starbucks... calm down. But worst of all... no "The Way I See It." Nope, not kidding. Really. Not there. This may seem ridiculous and ever childish, however, it is a devastating discovery. I don't see the difficulty in putting the little encouraging quotes on the holiday cups. Is it really that hard?? I think not. People drink your coffee because they like consistency, they like stability.. and you are no longer providing that. Give the people what they want!! Give them the dumb nonsense that is quotes on a cup.

I guess I will be waiting until these holidays are over and the cups run out to have my calming quotes back. Until then I have a couple favorites to hold me over. And yes, people will be hearing me complain until then. Politics at 9am will not be the same again until this ridiculousness that is holidays is over!!


The Way I See It #293

The way I see it
Isn't necessarily
The way you see it
Or the way it is
Or ought to be
What's more important
Is that we're all
Looking for it
And a way to see it.
- Desi Di Nardo


See... you feel relaxed already...
This is just nonsense! Damn Starbucks is messin with my routine!!
