Java Junkie

i love coffee. seriously love coffee. i'm a coffee purist (black, no cream/sugar). and i love the song by david m. bailey called 'java junkie'. the lyrics are below... i particularly related to the last few lines (in bold) today after an awful commute into work that took 5 times as long as it should have and involved me walking around in the rain.

I like a caramel cappuccino with a double shot of jo

And a white chocolate mocha, make that one to go

See, I’m a coffee connoisseur, a Dali lama of latte

A genuine java junkie every hour of the day

Columbia and Kenya, Ethiopia, Peru

They all make a fine roast, the French do too

Cubans drink it sweet, the Turkish drink it strong

Me, I just drink it, all day long.

Most drink it for breakfast, some after they dine

Guess they just don't know you can drink it anytime

Pre-brunch, post-lunch, afternoon tea

Perfect coffee breaks if you’re asking me

I like to brew a pot before the lights go out

Some say it keeps me up, I say it helps, no doubt

Now, some of you are thinking it's gonna make me sick

That I should switch to decaf as though that would do the trick

But I've learned a thing or two in my 30-something years,

Life is short so stay awake before it disappears

And if that means that I should drink an extra cup of Joe

Well sign me up, fill my cup, let it overflow

It's more than just a beverage; it's better than a drug

It's like an old best friend who greets you with a hug
