Holas to everyone!
Few things on the books for day just want to let everyone know I have changed the default permissions on this Blog so anyone can post, even if your not signed up. So comment away if you have free time or just like hurling abuse.
Other things I am up to? I have gotten into Fair Trade coffee lately, if you love coffee I think its worth spending the time to check it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade which basically means you pay a few extra bucks for that pound of coffee and the farmers of the 3rd world countries get the cash and not the supermarkets and the coffee shops. And since I love pissing in peoples shoes I am more then happy to fork out an extra few bucks so some fat cats miss out.
Speaking of cats, some of you might have noticed the link on the right there? www.lovablepets.org? Its a new project I am doing to see if I can get a website to take off. I am about.... 40% done at the moment but hope to have a good amount of content updated shortly.

Wait, you pay more for coffee for what? Is the coffee shat out by monkeys? Is it extra delicious by another equally insane method or am I way off?
Yes I pay... an extra $5 for a bag of coffee. So what normally would be a $5 bag costs me $10. Why?
Few reasons:
1. It is QUALITY coffee, American's don't know much about quality ;-)
2. It helps the farmers instead of big business and that in the end incenses the farmer to make a better product (see #1)
3. In addition the free trade stuff is usually organic as well and I know how American's fee about organic stuff but I would rather have dirty hands on my beans then dirty unknown chemicals hehe. Again this boils down to quality.
4. What is $5 anyhow ;-) I buy a new fresh coffee bag every two weeks so we are talking about $10 a month for some quality stuff.
