Over the summer, I read an article in the Toronto Star about coffee tasting. Somewhere along the line, it also mentioned that we Canadians are blessed to have some of the world's best coffee at our disposal. Of course, this came as no surprise to me. After all, everything is better north of the 49th. But, I find myself in a quandary: I no longer like coffee.
Well, I suppose I shouldn't say that don't like it. I do still like it. It just doesn't really cut for me anymore though. I have no idea how or why such a thing happened, but I'm quite sure of it now. During the first week after the start of classes, I purchased a Mocha Latte at Second Cup. I didn't enjoy. Then just this week past, I bought myself a Vanilla Bean Latte. And it was horrible.
That's horrible. I need to find myself a new favourite drink. Any suggestions?
And in honour of his appearance tomorrow at Canada's Wonderland...

Last night you had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
quit school you had to drop out to raise your little child
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
You've got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard you prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
They come in all shapes and sizes
Tempt you, put scales on your eye lids
Don't waste your sorrows
They'll give you strength tomorrow...tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you'll be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on you shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fear
Irene, I carried you when you was to weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
You have dreams and aspirations
I knew you before Creation
Your foundation's solid
I will build you a palace, restore your soul
You'll be up for any challange
Many storms are on the way; better sharpen your faith
Count the cost, take up your Cross
And wear it everyday
Rest in me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene, who seeks my face
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on you shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fear (2x)
Everything's gonna be alright
Be alright
Father I'm stronger, I said
Father I'm stronger, I said
Father I'm stronger
Than when I first believed yeah
I say hey little girl with the pressures of the world on her shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there, so don't you fear
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
