So... people as a whole, I've found, are judgemental. I don't find this so much irritating as amusing -- mostly because people fail to see the irony that I see, and therefore it all becomes my own little private joke to enjoy.
I have a lifestyle that many don't understand. I choose to live at great distance from my family. I willingly go to prison for eight (and sometimes sixteen) hours a day. I run away when men fall in love with me, but still have an active and enjoyable sex life. I work out like a madwoman at every opportunity (and annoyingly, those opportunities aren't often enough these days). I drink coffee by truckload, and alcohol sparingly. I'm just as content to hike the Appalachain Trail as I am to lay on the beach, and I'm just as likely to wear high heels and short skirts as I am old holey jeans and my Red Sox cap -- and some days, I mix it up and wear the high heels with the Red Sox cap, which tends to raise eyebrows and turn heads. Both my personality and my lifestyle are a series of dicotomies that make me what I consider to be a unique and colorful individual. It works for me.
And of all the things I have mentioned above that are quirky, amusing, and in some cases downright weird, the thing that most people focus on is my addiction to the lifeblood of humanity: COFFEE.
My name is Carrie Blackwood, and I am addicted to coffee. What of it?
So what if it takes me several cups to really get functional in the morning. So what if throughout the day I take the time to enjoy another cup or two, to mellow myself out, or perk myself up. I could be addicted to heroin, or crack. I could be an adrenaline junkie, or an S&M addict that gets off on pain. Instead, I choose to enjoy my aromatic and flavorful happiness in a cup. And somehow that is more strange.
So, here's to you, Judges of My Lifestyle, as you look askance at me over your herbal tea. To you I raise my cup. My name is Carrie Blackwood, I'm a coffee addict, and I'm damn proud of it.
lol. Who isn't addicted to coffee nowadays? Or some form of caffeine. I am an addict as well, only to Sugar Free Rockstar. lol
ReplyDeleteSo, Carrie's admittedly got a problem with coffee! That doesn't make her a bad person. I find funny that even when she only has one cup, that's not enough to get her going. She needs at least two to get the day going. I, personally only need one cup to get my day going and I don't drink coffee all the time; coffee is a treat for me, so I prefer to have something flavorful and delicious. Which usually tends to lead me right to Starbucks! So, if Carrie wants/needs two or three cups in the morning the get going, who are we to judge! Raise a cup and enjoy the aroma!
ReplyDeleteI chase my 5 hour energy drink with a pot of coffee and it's still not enough. All I hear is "It's not good for you" and "It's not healthy." Fuck you. Judging me on what I drink and do is not healthy for you so suck it.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
That Red Sox hat should be licensed as a deadly weapon.
