Starbucks Anti-war Hoax

(Link: Starbucks Anti-war Hoax)

Not too long ago I received an email forward about a US soldier writing to Starbucks asking them to send over coffee to US troops in Iraq. Starbucks responded by saying they will not because they do not support the war. I later found out that this is indeed a hoax.

What if it wasn't a hoax? I wouldn't disagree with Starbucks. Although, can you support something without endorsing it? What if they sent coffee over while declaring, "here's some coffee, but we hope that you all can be out of Iraq ASAP because the war sucks."

Or what if they said, "here's some coffee, take half of it for yourselves and half of it for the Iraqi soldiers, or the Iraqi children." That would be revolutionary.*

I don't intend to spark a heated discussion over the Iraqi situation, but I did want to throw it out there.

* Thought inspired by some good conversation with a buddy of mine, Jake.

Cops parking illegally

I'm glad someone had the guts to confront them! It's ridiculous to see cops do this sometimes...

Loren Radis discovered

If you haven't checked out thesixtyone.com yet (link), you should. It's a site where new artists can post their songs and have users rate them. Each song can be "bumped" up the list, eventually making it to the sixtyone homepage. Songs are available for buying via amazon, or some are free for download. Loren Radis chose the free download route, b/c he rocks.

His bio would describe him best,

"Loren Radis (that's me) is a California based singer/songwriter heavily influenced by the likes of Simon & Garfunkel, Iron & Wine, Damien Rice, and Elliot Smith.I've been playing guitar since I was twelve and singing since I could talk, but only in the last year has writing and performing music become a more serious pursuit.Music has helped me through a few really hard times in my life and if I can do the same for other people then I'll feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. All I really hope for is that people will enjoy listening.Thanks, -loren"

His website is here. With sixtyone, you can also create playlists and send the link out to friends. You can check out one that I created here. It's very chill.

Does everyone have this dream?

I just spoke with a buddy of mine, and he is the second person I've talked to that has had this same dream. You freak out that you haven't gone to the last several weeks of one particular class, and you're afraid that you failed it. I had it once where it was an online class, and I thought "dumb idea, this whole online class thing. Shouldn't have signed up for that guy."

Does anyone else have this same type of dream? And it feels so real, too. You even have that feeling of your stomach sinking out of fear. I can't believe I forgot about that class!
