Coffee: The Great Canadian Past Time

Going for coffee is something I do each and every week. I go with friends and we chat, laugh and discuss all our points of view. Surely everyone does this over coffee and there is nothing special about the act but the friendships that form and the ideas that come out of such a session could bring world peace and solve all those issues like homelessness, crime, drugs and so forth. We like to believe our small world views are the right ones and how they could be really useful in changing the world in which we live.

I believe that coffee sessions probably have achieved such heights. The best ideas come to light with free form talking between people. When people are relaxed and chatting openly they might say something off centre because they don't have those normal social pressures keeping them politically correct. At our sessions we discuss stuff that is going on in our community and across the world with our personal opinions in full effect. I can admit to having some hardline ideas about crime and those who commit it. I'd enjoy putting to death the wastes of air who commit crimes against children and the elderly. I wouldn't mind seeing mandatory sentencing for murder, human trafficking and some other crimes. These are the sort of conversations that happen between comfortable people drinking the dark liquid.

We also discuss music and get into some great discussions about who's who and what's what. It's funny sometimes considering some of my friends are much younger than I am and have a hard time seeing how great music was back in the 50's, 60's, 70's & 80's. Some of my other friends who my age or older can't appreciate the new stuff that is on the radio and charts today. I walk between them all for I enjoy it all. But without the coffee and the coffee shop we would not have these wonderful moments together. The coffee brings us together and helps us get all our aggressions out by conversing and expressing verbally instead of acting out in a negative way.

So if you want to make new friends and maybe save the world grab a couple people take them to your favorite coffee shop grab a mug of mudd and save the world by saving your sanity while growing those friendships into the ones you keep forever.
