Well today is my day off from the shop, the espresso pulling, the training, the brewing, and all things related. This is my day to catch up on cleaning a messy apartment, running errends, etc, etc. ...and yet I find myself wondering around on bX. I guess once your blood turns brown there isn't much use trying to stay away from coffee.

Lately I've been thinking more about the barista competitions and how I've always wanted to see if I could get anywhere within them. But honestly, I don't know if this small town barista has the skill and knowledge to pull it off. I know I'll never know unless I try, so maybe I'll just have to take that risk this year. And I also know that being from a small town has nothing to do with skill, but it does leave one feeling a little disconnected from the rest of the coffee world. Maybe that's why I feel the need to continue to wonder around bX...hmm...I always seem to find answers when I ramble. :)

I guess it's time I just get connected. This may be hard considering that I don't even own a computer, let alone an iPhone, iPod, crack...I mean blackberry, or other such techie gadgets. But I think it just might be worth it.
So here I am coffee world...I'm jumping in! :D


Please don't hurt me. :/

Now I suppose I should get back to the rest of my day off ... after a little more wondering.

Thankies! And no computer. Right now all I have is a cell, and a very crappy one at that. But hey.
Matt I knew you were active around here, but I was completely shocked to see you comment on my blog. Very cool. And hi. :)

No computer? No Winders Mobile? Can you imagine living 10 years ago again? I would go nuts.
Welcome to the forum called bx! :)
