Wow it's been a long time!

So much has happened since we last spoke. Michael Jackson died, the Saints wins the superbowl, the government has gone nuts and Lauryn Hill agrees to go on Maury...lol. Lawd knows I have an opinion/conspiracy about all of those issues but what strikes me the most as being interesting is what I heard on the news this morning. Were you aware that Dunkin Donuts(DD) sell more coffee than Starbucks???? How is this true? The DD coffee is cool but it's boring. Unless I'm making my own coffee I need a coffee experience. Starbucks just make you feel like you're serious about your coffee; you're a coffee connoisseur; you know something about coffee that the rest of the world don't and that's why you pay $20 for one cup. 

I go to DD and I feel like I'm settling. No where to sit. No one is conducting a million dollar deal at the table beside me and I only paid $3.00 for my latte instead of $5.00. AND the customer service is usually whack! Please don't get me started on McDonald's lattes, that's if their machine is working. I'll venture out to DD on McD as a convenience factor but for the most part I'm Starbuck's or bust!
