This Is How It Should Be…

I’ve always thought of bloggers as people who sit in coffee shops and sip hot java. What’s funny is I’m proving that very stereotype. And actually it’s a great place to blog…. and sip a extra hot skinny caramel macchiato with no whip.

I think my favorite part is the people watching. I see a lady and her grandkids playing a board game and two old high school friends chatting… and some guy in a suit with coke bottle glasses and suspenders. I’m pretty sure they think I’m lame because 1.) it’s 10 o clock and im by myself at a coffee shop and 2.) I’m looking more around the cafe than I am my computer screen.

It seems like I’ve been people watching a lot lately and it may be because I’m lonely and it may be because I have nothing better to do but really I find human interaction to be very interesting, especially in public. I mean rarely is anybody ever alone. I’m the only one in the place that’s by themselves, and usually when I see somebody by themselves I automatically think that they must be lonely, but sitting here I don’t think I’ll think that anymore. I enjoy the smell of Columbian coffee brewing in the back and the relaxed alternative music muffling the noise of the people at the next table. I enjoy watching the flashy cars zoom down the street, and most of all I enjoy taking it all in by myself. I wouldn’t notice the same things if I were here with friends. Sometimes it’s nice to be perfectly lonely.
