Do you ever get that feeling like you are dying on the inside? That sounds a little dramatic in my opinion, but I had that feeling - ahh man, it was a strong feeling - today. This morning, actually, about 20 minutes ago. I've been burning to utilize the creative parts of my mind and body. I've been stuck. In a routine of work and school.
Maybe it isn't so much the routine of things, but the fact that I've been looking, literally looking, at the same scenery for the past, i don't know, 3 - 5 months now. I am in desperate need of just seeing something new. I guess that desperation presented itself to me in a "do or die" way this afternoon when I once again, was sitting at home in front of my computer screen doing a class assignment. loL
So here I am. Sitting in a local coffee shop in downtown St.Pete. The Kahwa Coffee Roasting Cafe. A quaint, modern, artsy cafe. I'm not at all a coffee drinker lol, so I ordered a carmel macchiato - a drink a good friend of mine recently put me on. I'm sitting here near the back of the cafe smelling the roasted coffee grinds, hearing the soft melody of what sounds like Billie Holiday on the stereo mixed with the sounds of expresso machines and customers coming in and out ordering latte's and danishes. Everyone looks so, for a lack of better words, artsy. Hip, bohemian, artisans. Here I am in mustard yellow shorts and a white top with sandals. Most everyone else is wearing black and have funky hair cuts with those "tom" shoes. The barista has an arm full of colorful tattoos.
A new environment for me to say the least. Art and music surrounds me. I love this feeling. This urban art feeling, surrounded by calm souls. I'm sure I will come back here. But until then I have to find a place to plug in my computer charger because it is about to die lol..I also think I'm running out of time on the meter where I parked my car...o_O loL
