Just a normal Starbucks conversation

Posted on 06. May, 2008 by loswhit in Authenticity

I’m sitting in what could quite possibly be the largest starbucks I have ever seen. Here in Cumming, GA. Don’t laugh. Thats the real name.
I assume they have to have room for the cows to come in or something. ;)
Anyways, one of the barristas is looking at me in a not so normal way. Like either he thinks I am hot or he knows me. Maybe both.
After he walks up to me…
“Hey…Are you Carlos? Dude! You are. You were on LA Ink right?”
“Yea. Totally.”
“Dude. You went to Briarlake Baptist Church right?”
“Yup”
“Dude. You were my camp counselor!!! Remember? I threw a shoe and hit you in the face and then you chased me down mooned me.”
“Um. I don’t remember that. Maybe it will come to me. So, sorry about that dude. How is your family?”

    That’s awesome. I mean I hate when kids come up to me and remember me, yet I can’t remember them. However, to be reminded of a good story like that is pretty cool

    Umm…What is this L.A. Ink? And how is it so powerful to make one famous?

    Yeah, Cumming has the largest starbucks I’ve ever seen. I assume that it must have a second story loft apartment for Juan Valdez, though I heave yet to figure out where he parks his burro.

    dang really!! Well can I share my first memory of meeting you with your fellow bloggers? Well here it goes. Chris and I were at your wedding to heather and we came up to you after you guys were married and walking around and your exact words were well maybe not exact you might exchange laid for sex or something this was a long time ago now so anyways Chris and I: “Congratulations Carlos, it was a beautiful wedding.” Carlos: “I know I’m finally going to get some!”
    It was a little shocking and akward but at least you made it clear you were very attracted to your wife.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! That is so awesome.
    Oh, and the largest Starbucks I’ve ever been in is a 3 story one over-looking the Bosphorous in Istanbul, Turkey. It was amazing. You should go there just to blog from there.
