enthusiast

Note to Self:

You are not a coffee enthusiast.  You are an addict.  No enthusiast wakes up in the morning with a single, solitary thought of consuming that which he is enthusiastic about.  I have yet to see a stamp collector wake up early with the obsessive need to open a new package of stamps.  You are not enthusiastic about coffee. You are dependent upon it in order to be enthusiastic about anything.  Fortunately, it's a relatively tame addiction.  If it were porn, it would kill your marriage.  If it were meth, it would consume your life. You're safe with coffee.  If everyone in a nation shares the same addiction, we get to call it something prettier like a "cultural norm." So, unless you join the LDS church, you might as well be transparent about your addiction to java.

Sincerely:
John
