Starbucks

I came to an interesting realization today. When I go into Starbucks and order a drink, I typically try and order the least coffee flavored item possible. Coffee frappuccinos, blueberry white iced tea, pumpkin lates, peppermint mochas....

As I left today, I said to my coworker "I picked the blueberry white iced tea because I figured it was the one menu item that embodied masculinity the most fully and completely."

Except it doesn't. But it's tasty. Just like a year ago when I had to admit that when it came to music (ie Feist, Cat Power, Ozomatli, Neko Case etc) I was Starbucks' target demographic, I have to now admit this: My name is Aaron Burkhalter, and I drink coffee with fringes.

*phew* I feel better getting that off my chest.
