Hello gentlemen & gentlewomen. I am attempting for the umpteenth time in a row to create a blog that remains up-to-date. Maybe if I commit to a post every 2 weeks at least, and keep the flexibility of posting as I am so inspired. You know. For those crazy moments that need to be extroverted on.
So yes. The title of my blog is COFFEE IN MY CREAM. I am the kind of person that enjoys the special features that give all the insider deets in movies, so I'd be remiss to leave readers to wonder "Why the title?" I do believe that it speaks to a number of things about me and what you might expect content-wise in this blog. First. Note the banner above. Isn't it lovely? I LOVE coffee. I've been swooned by the bitter notes of the cocoa bean since the age of seven, having had my first scoop of coffee ice cream then and have remained addicted from the start. Of course my mother saw it coming and quickly inserted the age-old advice regarding coffee that all children have at least heard once in their lives: "Don't drink coffee because it will stunt your growth."
Was I phased? I believe not. After an already long history of being in the front of group photos, never reaching the top shelf without a stool and being perpetually used as a shoulder rest, I think that I'd consigned to a life of "stunted growth" - even at the age of seven.
Second. The concept of "Coffee in my Cream" is so counter-intuitive don't you think? It turns your expectations on its head a little bit. It's okay if you don't agree. Well, I've enjoyed living just past the edge of unconventional in life, be-it my obsession with scarves, my comfort with lesser showers, my opinions about politics, my ambitions about the day-to-day choices. It's an adventure to fight against the status quo and observe my own psyche in the midst of it. I believe this blog will be a glimpse into the various spaces of my mind which entertain those moments. I'm pretty random. And with time I've observed that my memory escapes me quite often these days and so if I go on an unlinkable tangent, just chalk it up to a failed effort at remembering what was going on (essentially a brain fart). But I hope you like! I humbly offer to you my musings as I endeavor to connect with humanity via the Internets. Till then, as an homage to my obsession with coffee and perhaps a denied addiction to caffeine (:-P) I commend to you a collection of epic latte art.

Oh and P.S. My favorite blend is Zen Roast by Equal Exchange Coffee. A perfect combination of medium-bodied deliciousness from the Latin Americas. Can be found at the East Side BloomingFoods for you btowners. And on days that I want to spoil myself, a tasty hazelnut Americano does the trick. Drink Ethically. What's your coffee beverage (or not coffee beverage) of choice?
Gratefully yours,
Rodelyn
