The Tea Espresso

The espresso has become the drink of the world of people who either work too hard, or simply don’t work enough.

Stubborn Dave does not have the gift of Storytelling. He is a man who should not write stories. Think that dull stories are bad? More

Schools: Wasting Energy Since Forever (But Don’t Worry, It’s Changing)

When whoever it was in whenever it was said “I propose a wonderful idea and it shall be a place of learning where children may learn about science, history and the arts!” they weren’t really thinking about how, in many years, we would be struggling as a race to do simple things like heat a home without needing to take out a second mortgage (mainly because the word mortgage probably hadn’t been invented yet, don’t forget).

Coffee Shop Theory

Working in the coffee shop is the perfect place to people watch, and there are many reasons why that’s a good thing when you’re an aspiring writer. For one, it’s great when I am having trouble conceiving feasible dialogue for something I might be writing.
