players only love you when they're playing

my coffee hasn't tasted very good lately. i wonder why. i'm not anywhere close to being superstitious, but when my coffee doesn't taste good, usually it's because there is a problem or a dilemma that's bothering me, without me realizing it. after all, a good coffee is one which beans were ground with love, which water was boiled with love, which sugar was poured in with love, and which creamer was bought with love. without love in the process of making, coffee won't taste like coffee; it will taste like something else that is not coffee. then the process of pouring in the boiling water has to also be done with love, as well as the stirring, which has to possess a smooth, flowing uniform movement around the inside of the cup. the movement cannot be erratic by the slightest bit, because it might ruin the uniformity of the sugar concentration as it's being dissolved in the coffee. this very delicate process of coffee making is quite simple and can be mastered quickly, but when done with chaotic, unstable, wavering emotions, even the greatest of coffee gurus can fail at making a coffee that tastes like coffee, even if the maker is completely oblivious of such emotions.

that, or it could just be the case of too much water and not enough coffee.
