today was such an arb day. i laughed at people who thought the world was going to end yesterday. but then i felt terrible. i saw the most incredible pictures of the northern lights that occurred last night, induced by the solar flares. i promised myself that when i fall in love one day i shall venture to that cold place, wherever it may be and lay in the snow on top of my beloved (i thought about the cold factor) and gaze. mother nature truly has a way with beauty, no movie or performance could ever compete when she smiles.
on less amazing news (sorry for that anti-climax) facebook will now make it compulsory for people to adopt timelines. i honestly don’t understand why facebook felt the need to change things. it was doing well. very well. in fact if facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world. that’s a fuck-load of people.
you see, facebook and myspace were once upon a time pretty much similar. myspace was fancy and had these weird things where you could changes backgrounds and stuff. facebook was simple. you had a wall and friends. friends wrote on your wall. why the fuck are they copying competitors that they outclassed? that’s like messi trying to learn soccer from bafana bafana or obama trying to learn public speaking techniques from jacob.
well, jacob is still twice the man that obama is. jacob’s a president, whose getting sued by a person who was convicted of having a corrupt relationship with him. how fucked up is that? our president is apparently going to get sued. obama is also having legal issues. he has to testify in court regarding his citizenship. it seems the americans are getting confused between the ship they put the slaves on and the titanic.
starbucks has announced it will start serving alcohol. executives of the company were looking for ways to boost sales during the recession and after much deliberation, they have come up with the idea of adding alcohol to the menu. i don’t see how that idea took so long. personally, i’m quite sceptical about it. i somehow don’t see how coffee beans and chocolate muffins go with beer. maybe i’m just not an alcoholic, but i just don’t think they are similar. think about having an espresso or filter coffee at a bar?
well either way, i still love a large frappucino. which leads me to my question. if you need sales to increase starbucks, why don’t you just open some stores in south africa?
