GaryDWhat if Coffees/Teas were PEOPLE?
January 2nd 2008 02:47
Ever thought what it would be like if different teas/coffees were automagically transformed into their human parallels?
...Oh...You haven't. Well. Thats the kind of stuff that i think about in my spare time anyway.
But seriously. A large latte on skim milk....aka "Tall Skinny Latte".
I dont know about you, but for me that immediately conjures up an image ofPeter Garrett a tall, gangly teenager who enjoys playing a morning chess game with himself each day and is prone to frequent testipops. Or it could remain in its cup as a coffee bought from Starbucks for $3.45.
Either or.
An espresso. Thats an easy one. One of those people thats just full of beans (coffee ones in this case..) 24/7. The kind of people who turn up ON TIME to a 8:00am appointment, who go for runs at lunch, and talk at a rate that would put a used car salesman to shame.
The people who are friends with EVERYONE, and seem to be every where at once. They have boundless energy, and talk perpetually in superlatives.
Hm. What about a Chai tea..I would say one of those chaps who is refreshingly offbeat. An indie movie watcher. A tie dye wearer. The person who enjoys a good bushwalk, organic food and the occasional protest, in no particular order.
Double shot caramel macchiato on skim...in human form would be a person who has a MILLION things on, all the time. They are at work/uni full time, but somehow, unbeknownst to us mere mortals, also manage teaching piano, visiting their great grandmother in Whoop Whoop every week, being a volunteer firefighter, and learning Spanish at night school. And they juggle all of it without ever dropping a single ball. Because they are people who need a wide range of ingredients to make life interesting and fulfilling for them.
Black tea, no milk, no sugar. This kind of tea would see life with a refreshingly simple perspective. Why skirt around an issue, or fuss about peripheral details? All they need is the core issues, the simple facts, the clear cut solution.
And yes, i do realise that i am talking about a cup of vegetation in hot water.
An iced tea. One of those people who is so laid back they're almost asleep half the time. Quietly confident, a naturally (pardon the pun) 'cool' person.
Not universally likeable though. Cos as we know, iced tea isn't for everyone.
This blog may seem to come from a very strange place, but then, what's life without a few twisties?
..pretty straight i guess.
..or something along those lines.
