The Coffee House Journals: What and Why

In every coffee house across the United States and Western Europe, there is a person between 16 and 31 years old, tapping away on a Macbook and smugly smiling at people trying to get their caffeine fix. If you ask them what they're writing, they'll respond with a condescending summary of a screenplay, novel, or business plan. These people are pretentious. I am also pretentious, but too cheap to go out and get coffee. So the writings and smugness end up here.

The "why" of things is very simple: I was told to. But, because I have a low tolerance for boredom and an impish and contrary nature, I'll try to have fun with it.

The "what" is somewhat more complicated. I've tried keeping blogs before, and the world has yet to recognize my genius. So, instead of random musings, we'll try structure and a semblance of reason.

• Monday- Speech. I have tournaments over the weekends, so new ideas for speeches, tournament rankings, and the interesting people involved will be covered on Mondays
• Tuesday- Productivity and Collaboration. I have the class this day, so it should be good.
• Wednesday- A response to an article in my RSS feed. They're generally about tech, but I have some recipe feeds, productivity feeds, and fashion feeds. I'll link to and properly attribute every article.
• Thursday- Writing prompts. I like writing, so I'll find an inspiration every week and put my response here. I would enjoy seeing others in comments.
• Friday- Grab bag. Friday will be interesting, I promise.
• Saturday/Sunday- Screw you I'm not doing homework on the weekends
