The Smell of Novels and Coffee
You know i would really like to do when i'm old,wrinkly and smell of prunes?Or maybe when i retire early and fall back on my huge stash of cash from the many books i write that take the world by storm and show the west that asia isn't all about Kung pao chicken and fortune cookies.Though i like fortune cookies.Well, anyways, it's always been one of my dreams to open a bookshop.No,it's only partly revenge against Popular bookstore and it's horrible,well, book selection.Other than wanting to run that place out of town and destroy the monotonous monopoly of trashy novels that include such stupid teen favourites as Smallville,Angel,Charmed and other mindnumbing Crap that stares out from that bloody box of idiocy,The reason i would like to open a store like that is to harmonize books and people through my liking of them(The Books, not people.Well,some people.)It'll also serve coffee and other caffeinated beverages.And on fridays, it'll be free form poetry night.Where young Beatniks from all over can come and express their Hippiness through the joy of rhyming words and Bongo drums.On Saturday nights,it'll be Essay night.Where any essay, on any topic,From King James to Zebras can be read out without hesitation or humiliation.My BookCafe(Copyright pending) will be a santuary for the intellgent coffee lover.It will be a temple,dedicated to the art and love of writing.It will be a courtyard where Love flys free and intellectuals find one another.At least,it will be,until either i grow corrupt and start thinking about only the dough,or it is torn from it's innocence and bought over to be replaced by a lowly,filthy strip club.I do not know what is in store for my BookCafe,The Metaphoric Bean, but i swear i will uphold my morals and never ever sell it.It will be as an heirloom,passed down generations,and adapting,Always adapting with the changing flow of the times.But ut will always embody the love i have so pure,for the simple matter of words.For Literature.And there will be discounts for friends and family.We'll see. The future holds many surprises as they say.I am itching to see where mine will take me.
