Day One: Ideas


Today I thought I should try finding a convenient number of words for a daily blog or journal. I believe that I should try social media, but the site I would like to use, Bluesky, only allows 300 characters. It’s not much. It’s not what I would consider a content rich post. Of course, this modern world has a different idea of content. I know I am not that old, but things seem to change fast. So, I am writing to see how many words, not characters, seems an appropriate amount for entertaining content in my opinion. This is 100. 

Given the paragraph above, it becomes easier to see what a digestible amount of short, entertaining content may look like. I also need several words that will give me some writing practice and jog my Intelect daily. My spelling is poor. I often use Google to learn the spelling of words I do not use often. I also use google to look up words for more concise sentences and content. Of course, I will ramble here. I am experimenting. Which isn’t to say, I won’t be experimenting every day. I have tried to write something every day before, like this. 

It appears that 300 words will suit my ideals. I do not believe that it is an overwhelming amount of content, and it will give me some writing practice. With a manageable number of words, I can practice condensing and expanding my content. Another reason for content management is people. It is good to have people who enjoy reading see your writing. I could use some development. I don’t believe my skills are at a professional level and am also not audience savvy. I am a very isolated individual. Some writing suggestions and broad topics could be a great help.

Peet's Light Roast, Sun Catcher Coffee

For this Coffee tasting I tried Peet’s, light roast, Sun Catcher coffee. I often search for coffees that are more distinctive than contemporary, familiar flavors. This coffee seems to be commercially evasive (IMO). The package reads, “strawberry jam, citrus, and honeysuckle.” When I open the gourmet pouch and sniff, I shove my nose in to make sure I’m getting a good smell. The smell is good and unique. I think the honeysuckle and jam are new with the coffee scent; they create something I can’t describe. I brew the coffee and fill my cup. When I taste it unsweetened, I get a good, strong, coffee flavor with a light presence on my tongue. There is something going on here. The back flavor of citrus I have become familiar with, it seems to be a redeeming quality in the gourmet coffee market. The honeysuckle piques my interest, it is not strong or defining, but it is there. I like it. Strawberry jam? I don’t taste it. There does seem to be a hint at sweetness. There seems to be an abstracte...

Stumptown, Holler Mountain Ground Coffee

Stumptown, Holler Mountain Coffee is quoted on the package as a signature blend. The smell of this moderately ground coffee leaves me curious. On my first taste of this coffee, it seems nothing like the flavors promoted on the package: coffee beans, caramel, hazelnut, and citrus. There is something complex going on with the flavor of this coffee. I had to let it rest on my whole tongue so all my taste buds could inform my understanding of a coffee maker’s experienced pallet. The flavors prompted on the package are not used to add flavor directly but are used to create a unique experience regarding how coffee tactilely reacts in the consumer’s mouth. There is something very blue-collar about this coffee, but at the same time, it transcends to something gourmet. With effort, there is a caramel buffer at the sides of the tongue, a distant nuttiness with the coffee, and a late, back end of citrus without the acidity. This coffee reminds me of a blue-collar ideal of working in the Southwest...

Starbucks' Cinnamon Dolce Coffee

The coffee tasted for this critique is Starbucks’ Cinnamon Dolce. On opening the bag, the smell is pleasant. There is a smell of cinnamon that saturates the coffee aroma or the beans. Looking at the coffee, it has a medium grind. It is not as course as say, generic, mass produced, coffee in bulk plastic containers. When I pour water over it, the room is filled with an appetizing vapor that makes the bagels smell like a new delicacy. It is chocolate bagels with cinnamon coffee. I drink my first cup with no sweetener. There is a lack of coarseness or bite that is familiar with generic coffee. Such a bite is often the case with convenience store coffees, but this cinnamon dolce has no harshness or bite. This is the case with special blends or the individual bags that people can buy at the grocery store. They are aside on the shelves from the coffees in bulk plastic containers. Starbucks’ Cinnamon Dolce, in my opinion, is a very good coffee. It has an organic cinnamon flavor with a smooth,...
