FS 1.1 How I Like My Coffee etc...

I have to agree with Dennis Leary on this one, specifically his famous Coffee Flavored Coffee rant. After all let's keep things simple people. Much like Italian food coffee is best in it's most simplistic form. A splash of milk and sugar or shot of whiskey are perfectly acceptable condiments. Coffee should taste like coffee not fruit salad, flowers, or pancakes. Please don't let me mislead you into thinking that I must be a Starbucks fan. I am not! In fact I find that most "gourmet" coffee tastes like burnt mud and much prefer cheap old Maxwell House. Most people are mislead into thinking that European coffee is far better than anything produced in America. I have spent some time living in Europe and have to disagree. In my experience it was very hard to find coffee at the grocery store that was not instant, yuck! I was blessed that the cafe' I frequented for coffee served a very mellow espresso. A dear friend of mine was not so lucky on her trip to Italy. This experience birthed a infamous quote,"That crap they serve in Italy that they call coffee would make baby Jesus cry." As a rule Europeans prefer their coffee strong like myself. This brings us to the question of how strong do you like your coffee? To which I respond... "I will not have a weak man in my bed or a weak brew in my cup." This rule also applies to beer and whiskey. ---CK

FS 1.0 Welcome To Blogging

Here the question arises... "What can you blog about that cannot be used against you by strangers, potential employers, friends and foes?" There is one very simple answer to this question, Nothing. In some way shape or form you will annoy or offend someone it is inevitable. As a blogger you have two choices, not to care and continue your rants or to unplug from all things techy. My choice is to continue and I ask that if I offend or annoy you that you make the responsible decision to simply click on the X in the left hand corner of your screen, (red dot in same corner for Mac users) I bring this up after reading an article on slashdot.org about a teen who's family business was ruined and her family was run out of town in response to a blog she posted after going away to college mentioning how much she disliked the town she was from. Catty rants and copyrights pretty much sums it up, here is the link. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/06/26/1331218/Of-Catty-Rants-and-Copyrights

This is clearly an example of small town extremism but it just goes to show how insane people can be. The one question that no one has addressed on this story that I would like the answer to is "why the hell is a high school principal keeping tabs on his recently graduated females myspace posts???? hummmmmmmm???????
