According to T.S. Eliot, our days can be measured out in coffee spoons, meaning that the consistency of coffee in our daily lives (or, in my case, a white chocolate mocha) would theoretically allow us to construct a sort of bizarre hourglass with each coffee spoon (or Starbucks to-go cup) making a sort of strange substitute for each grain of sand, and each grain of sand representing one day of life.
I pose that a similar metaphor could be created with stupid things that people say or do. I may not consistently start my morning with a dose of stupidity, but at some point during my day, I will encounter something, somewhere that is really dumb. Sometimes, coincidentally enough, while I am in the process of getting my coffee.
So my goal for the next 365 days is to take note of the dumbest thing that I encounter all day, and point it out to others so that everyone can feel a little bit superior as we age.
