cafe au lait .

since the ruler of the internet in my space of living is determine to overcharge for something, like the internet which is based on sharing, i have taken my blog outside and down the hill to a french cafe of which i frequent solely in the mornings. it transforms at night. by day, all of the tables are consumed by the morning people sipping cafe au laits and working diligently from their laptops. there is the inescapable aroma of fresh bread and pastries and espresso. i used to think that cafe culture should be dominated by conversations, filled with artists, writers, revolutionaries. then i went to north beach and saw those literary revolutionaries of today... it is a sad interpretation of european cafes of yesterday. now cafes, american ones, are full of individuals on the internet, having conversations on their computers as opposed to in person. writing blogs... and now i am one of them. my recent discovery of the importance of the computer has now changed my view. every once in a while, i take a break from the computer to look out the window to the outside world. a new view.
