Tuesdays With Morrie
“Death ends life, not a relationship” The quote i have chosen defines the book in a nutshell. It explains how life is a journey and it highlights all the little life lessons that we let pass by and never take the chance to understand the meaning. This quote means a lot to me and makes me think of situations I have had to overcome, but yet how the memories of all the time that had been spent together. Although there are many good quotes in this story I feel that this is the most appropriate one, only because it sums everything up.

Why Starbucks is better then Tim Horton’s...
I believe that Starbucks is better then Tim Horton’s in many, many ways. The variety of drinks that you have to choose from is much greater at Starbucks, and even though the prices at Starbucks compared to Tim Horton’s is about a ratio of 2:1, it’s defiantly worth it. Also, about there food. There food and beverages at Starbucks also take the prize because as they offer healthier foods and drinks that don't only help our need but put a profit towards the people less fortunate. Although Starbucks and Tim Horton’s both provide hot chocolates and coffees as well, its always nicer to go into Starbucks and get treated like they enjoy helping you rather then entering Tim Horton’s and feeling like your a hassle to them. How you know that its all freshly made its a good reassurance. Seriously, I would have to say that one of the best things about Starbucks compared to Tim Horton’s is that they have the sleeves for your cups so you don’t burn your hands off, and they have the spill stoppers so that you can drive and do whatever without having to worry about scolding your hand.
The Perils of Indifference
"The Perils of Indifference" can also be thought as the dangers of having no concerns. No concerns about anything or anyone. The most horrifying and tragic image comes from the story "The Cage". It shows how people can be so normal, with normal jobs, normal family, and act and feel as a normal person, then turn and take part in such a devastating destruction like the Holocaust. After carefully thinking about the title and the short story by Elie Weisel and the meaning it presents, it does make me think about the short story "The Lottery". It allows me to notice that the people in the town that attend this annual lottery are the ones that are at danger, but don't grasp the fact about what is going to come and don't feel that it is necessary to worry about something that dosen't effect them and there family, until it does.

Top 3
If i had to choose a top 3 of anything it would probably be Starbucks beverages. Ohh, Starbucks! To be 100% truthful almost everything there is absolutly amazing, but i do have 3 favorites. If you want a great caffine kick and looking for a creamy heavenly drink, defiantly the Pumpkin Spice Latte is what your looking for. The rich orange liquid topped with whipped cream and nutmeg is the most fulfilling drink on a gloomy October day. The subtleness of this ever so elegent liquid slipping down your throat is the most gratifying hot drink you will ever acquire. Ahh, G-PSL. Perfect! Now now, thats enough for this one. Let just sit back and think about sitting on a beach around, ohh, around mid July and realizing that you are severly parched. What drink would quench your thirst better then a Passion Tea Lemonade. The sweet passion tea shaken in with a small amout of lemon and ice gives you a fantastic comination. This delectable liquid shows off its unique, yet secerative amount of fruitiness which grabs your tastebuds and reveals the sugar high you have been looking for. The way i see it, theres nothing more refreshing then a good PTL. Last and final, theres the Earl Gray Tea-Misto w/ 2 pumps vanilla. So this beverage is like nothing you have ever expierenced before. Not going to lie, but it wasn't very good the first time i had it, but you've just got to give it time. However such a creamy, fluffy beverage like this is most satisfying after you've had a great dinner, but your not too full to have a warm light drink before night time. Nevertheless, as we all know...
"You can learn a lot from listening then you can from talking. Find someone with whom you don't agree in the slightest and ask them to explain themselves at length. Then take a seat, shut your mouth, and don't argue back. Its physically impossible to listen with your mouth open."
-The Way I See It #280 John Moe
So whether your more of a Caramel Frappaccino kinda a guy or a Cinnamon Dolce kinda girl, these are just 3 more beverages from Starbucks that i would definatly recommend.

Blog about...
I couldn't really specify what i'd like to blog about. It would all really depend on whats on my mind that day, what i have been talking during that part of the day or even what i was up to on weekend or such. I don't know if i would neccessarally write about that on here, again it would all depend. Its kind of hard to think on the spot about what i would like to write about. I usually have to write things down about stuff i have to do after school or important things i have no remember, but again, i wouldn't really like to share any of that with others. Honestly, i think i would rather have specific topic and be told what to write about rather then have to pick something off the top of my head because most the stuff i am usually thinking of i don't want to share with anyone other then my closer friends.

Superpowers...
If i could have any superpower in the world i would have to choose teleportation. It would be the most helpful technique in my belief. You could get yourself to any place at anytime, and be back in a flash. Literally! For instance, if you were at school and you really wanted Starbucks for instance, you could just zap yourself there and be back in no time at all. There would be no reason for vehicles, which means no reason for all this pollution. Sorry the bell rang. Bye
