Watching Nature in the Starbucks

Im sitting at the starbucks in santana row, and really should be studying. Thing is, I've been studying so much lately I feel studied-out!

I was thinking a while ago how i really should ditch my laptop, cell phone, I-pod, etc for a while. i thought maybe it would help me "simplify" a little bit, if you will.

So now I'm sitting here, in the Silicon Valley, in a Starbucks, and have my laptop on my lap and my I-pod in my ears. The strange thing though, is that while sitting here listening to my I-Pod i am feeling detached and comfortable. I feel kind of how i feel when I'm sitting on the porch of the Urich Cabin in Government Meadows and looking out into the woods.

I find it funny that sitting in the starbucks listening to music and watching all these people around me talk but not hearing their words is so similar. Its like two different kinds of nature, two different kinds of scenery, but earily reminiscent.

To be continued.... my macchiato is here.
