Overheard at Starbucks (not really)
Can you help me? I certainly hope so. I need coffee. What size? Forgive for me laughing at the quaintness of the choices you have presented, but even your “vente” is woefully inadequate against the lethargy that is holding my very soul hostage. What, dear soul, is the italian word for “colossal” or “gigantic”? I suppose it’s my own fault, imploring a humble coffee slinger for such a Herculean task. This is a job for the world’s foremost engineers. The men who have dammed the world mightiest rivers, that’s a start. I need a cup-o-joe so large, it needs it own international airport. A java so immense it needs to issue it’s own currency. One so enormous cream and sugar cannot simply be added, they must be able to orbit around it. Their trajectory will slowly decay until gravity proves victorious and they splashdown into the vast blackness of our caffeinated miracle. Can you do this for me? Can you? Fine, give me a vente.
Coming soon to "the Underachiever's Progress":My acting debut,"Videopolis" and "Things I don't Understand about Women", sequel one of my most popular posts "Things I've never understood about Men."
I'm Your Pal Pete Wright. Am I being presumptuous by calling myself your pal? That's a risk I'm willing to take. I'm a singer, songwriter, storyteller, writer, and comedian, as long as financial gain isn't essential to your definition of those things.
The Nitty Gritty
But more than all of those I am an entertainer. I carry around a ukulele with me for the same reason a gangster carries a gun; better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Stage or sidewalk, Your Pal Pete shows are just where they happen.
Currently, I'm working on a musical, RagnaPOP(or she's got the bomb), set to premiere at this year's Capital Fringe Festival. I'm also working on music, comedy, and musical comedy; for kids and/or adults.
The fruit of these projects will be available on this site, so check back regularly!

They should just make a size called "all the espresso we have in the store. Damn, crazy eye, stop twitchin!" Only a drink thusly named could slake my relentless thirst...
