the longer i wait to hear back from the grad school that hasn't actually rejected me yet, the more i am pondering - what the hell am i going to do if i don't get in? at first i considered becoming an english teacher or a psych teacher. only one problem: i don't want to be a teacher. i don't like teenagers enough to be surrounded by them for the rest of my life.

and then an idea hit me.

i don't know exactly how out of the question this idea is. i know nothing about business and i have no money. however, i had this vision this morning whilst in the shower.

a bookstore/record store/coffeehouse/music venue. a place mostly for buying books and zines and whatnot, but then also sell kick ass music, let local bands play there some nights, have trivia nights, book clubs, movie nights, singles nights, music lessons, sell art...whatever! basically a place people can just hang out and do whatever! (all you have to do is imagineer it!)

big comfy armchairs, an area (obviously) dedicated to harry potter, awesome listening booths ala empire records. not overcharging people, not being a dick - giving people in south jersey somewhere to GO, maybe. does this sound too good to be true? am i just kidding myself? i think it would be the best thing ever. of course, there is always a chance of it going under...BUT...maybe it won't, right? and maybe if enough of the community embraced it, it would be wonderful. anyone could be in on it. want to play there? sure. want to sell a painting? sure. want to make coffee for people? be my guest. want to discuss confederacy of dunces? absolutely!

i am excited. tell me what you think. i would obviously be taking some business courses before i ever took anything seriously...but still. i need feedback to help me decide if i am out of my mind or not.

Bacardi 151
Congratulations! You're 139 proof, with specific scores in beer (60) , wine (150), and liquor (104).
All right. No more messing around. Your knowledge of alcohol is so high that you have drinking and getting plastered down to a science. Sure, you could get wasted drinking beer, but who needs all those trips to the bathroom? You head straight for the bar and pick up that which is most efficient.




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:


You scored higher than 86% on proof

You scored higher than 90% on beer index

You scored higher than 99% on wine index

You scored higher than 98% on liquor index
