Starbucks - Worldwide.

As I tuck into the last few sips of my caramel crème frappucino, I'm overwhelmed by the feeling of...repulsion. Founded on March 30th 1971, Starbucks has been keeping us caffeinated for 40 years. First opened by three college grads starbucks started as a spin off from the renowned Peet's coffee & tea (Berkeley, CA), then bought by Howard Schultz in 1987. In my opinion I don't think people should be paying £3 for a cup of coffee when there are smaller café's around the corner selling quality stuff. I believe that the real reason people buy their coffee there is because of the sign. We've all seen films with someone drinking a soy macchiatos or something that doesn't even make sense.. But we all know that these drinks taste like shit, so I'm giving starbucks 3/10. It's crap. Peace. B.x

A note for consumerism

I understand that what I usually write isn't particularly anti-consumerist and I never really intended to start writing about it. It makes everyday people feel guilty when they realise what they do every day, how much they spend, what they spend it on, their morals.etc. The devastating part of this is that most people feel as if there is nothing they can do, but there is. The Occupy Movement is something that's happening all over the world right now. You've probably heard from the media that it's full of lazy bum's, People just looking for a fight & Drunks, but I urge you to block it out. I've visited Occupy London (St.Pauls cathedral) and everything I could see and hear exuded passion and energy, speakers were giving out messages that have needed too be heard for many years, people from all different backgrounds/lifestyles were happy too work together. It was inspiring. Luckily it's not only in metropolitan cities but in smaller places as well. So never feel as though you can't do anything because you're not in London or Tokyo, there is always something too be done. Where ever you are, embrace the 99% and donate your time too supporting the revolution. B.x
