This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

CuRrent obsessiOn for coffEe addictS is to haVe the StarbUx 2007 pLanner. ProudLy, I have oNe. It's a limiteD ediTion that may soMehow hurT youR pockeT or mayBe noT.
If you're noT a reguLar sTarbuX caffeiNe addicT, you'D probabLy ask whaT's so speciaL about an ordinaRy notebooK thaT you caN easiLy purcHase at a locaL "NationaL".
We'LL just so you knoW, in ordeR to havE one, you have to fiLL out a piecE of paper wiTh twenty-one stickers. One stickeR is to oNe beveragE. So, you couLd just imagiNe how I neaRLy jumped when the pLanner was handed to Me.
The pLanner isn'T reaLLy breathtakingLy extraOrdinary. It's rather simpLe - wiTh its bLack coveR and goLd LetterS. Good thing i'M reaLLy a coffee addicT and a breatHing coffEE bean macHine or eLse i'LL have my pockeT with an unpretty sigHt.
It's funny how otheR peopLe made way jusT to have iT. Some wouLD position themseLves near the counTer and ask peopLe [strangers] to "lend" their littLe sticker book for the purcHase. A friend even wiLLingLy treateD us for coffEE just to fiLL the 4 spaceS in her sticker booK. Only to fiNd out that the pLanner was out of stOck!
Now, when I go ouT for soMe coffEE before going to work, I see peopLe carryiNg their prizeD pLanner, aLL brimming with smiLe. If there's one thiNg I Learned from this, iT's achieVing a certaiN goaL. Sounds odd. But Looking at it cLoseLy, you'LL reaLize thaT theRe are thinGs yOu reaLLy wanT in Life that yOu end up geTTing.
Twenty-oNe [or more] hurdLes may coMe your way, but iT wont sTand a cHance as Long as yOu're driveN, focused and passiOnaTe abouT it. Because onCe you knOw exactLy whaT you wanT, geTTing there wouLdn't be as confusiNg as it may seEm. Nevermind if you'rE on the brinK of caFFeine overdOse.
Happy New YeaR!
