How Starbucks will take over the world

Fact: True Blood is freakin' AWESOME.

Fact 2: Starbucks will take over the world.

There is, in fact, a natural progression to those two facts. And this is how it goes:

I like to watch True Blood (and you should too, because it's freakin' AWESOME!). But the internet at my studio sucks. Like, legit sucks. Like, I can't even watch a 30-second video on YouTube without waiting two decades for it to load, sucks.

So, instead, I load my car up with my laptop on Monday mornings and after work I drive out to my local* Starbucks to enjoy their newest feature...

FREE INTERWEBS

Their internet has two things going for it that my studio does not have.

1. It's FREE
2. It's FAST

(Now imagine if the same related to a hooker, er--)

So, I mosey over to the Starbucks, buy myself whatever hot drink the barista thinks I'm crazy for ordering in this 95+ weather (PLUS a banana-chocolate chip coffee cake!) and settle down to watch True Blood. And use some awesome internet. Because mine sucks.

But seriously! I'm paying $4.26 for some coffee and cake and reDONKulus good internet...EVERY. FREAKIN. WEEK.

Compare that to the one-time $5.00 fee for awful internet (minus coffee and cake) in my studio WHENEVER I WANT IT.

Starbucks. You got me on this one. If you can make me pay that much per internet use, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO!!!!

And that's why Starbucks will probably take over the world. Soon.

  2. S,

    Yay! I'm glad someone appreciates my humor :P

    Slow internet seriously kills me. Almost as much as the fact that 7 years ago my family had a one-line, dial-up internet. W. T. F. How did I survive?!

    Naturally, everyone needs at least ONE blog post tagged "World Domination" :P
