Having fun with words

As those in my inner circle know, the recent Kat Ping phenomenon has gained cult status.

So here's another word that I made up: 

Antweequing
--Definition: The decision to go antiquing after being up for several days due to meth-related reasons.
Example: "After Jill used up all of her meth and still wasn't tired, she decided to go over to the antique district to see if any new 19th century pieces have arrived."

The Phrase, "Benjamin Buttoned"


I think I made up this phrase, not sure if it already existed.

When you 'Benjamin Button,' you move backward in life or participate in something that one views as a digression or immature.

Here are some examples:
"He was an investment banker, but was recently laid off. Now he mows lawns for cash. Ya, he really Benjamin Buttoned."

"This weekend, I'm going to the comic book store, grab a few lunchables, and try and get through the entire Freaks and Geeks series. You know, really get all Benjamin Buttoned."

"My bro and his wife just bought season tickets to the Bears. They also wear their jerseys every weekend, have a cooler that looks like a football, and refers to the team as 'we.'
 I am not watching the game with those Benjamin Buttons."

And that's how it works.  Use it.

This song



Don't Stop Me Now by Queen is a song I really like. It's a high energy song with the lyrics that get more ridiculous as the song progresses.

Sample of the lyrics:
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh explode

I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you.


Freddie Mercury (who wrote the music and lyrics) wasn't afraid to take chances, be silly, and be himself. I admire this.

Look the song up on Youtube. 

Freddie Mercury's a genius.

Chips and Salsa at Mexican Restaurants

Think about it;
You never have to wait for food at a Mexican restaurant. You can walk by a Mexican restaurant and say, "I would like chips and salsa in about 90 seconds," and you will have chips and salsa in about 90 seconds.  It's an amazing snack and it's free.

Some may say, "well, what about the bread and butter they give you at Italian restaurants."
Sorry, it's not the same. Bread and butter something your grandma gives you to quell hunger pains. So shut the f-up with your stupid bread and butter argument.

Plus, there's more care put into the making of chips and salsa. I like to think the salsa is made by some big Mexican old lady who guards this secret family recipe with her heart. And is good about washing her hands.

Drinking a Beer in the Shower


I really like drinking beer in the shower. The combination of the hot shower and the cold beer really feels good. 


A few recommendations:

Type of beer: 
Choose a light beer. Thinner beer stays colder longer.
Type of container: 
I like a bottle, you just have to be careful. If you are drinking more than two in the shower, then you may want to go with cans.
Type of shower: 
An evening or weekend shower. Preferably  after a long day of work or before you go out on a Saturday. A morning shower would be super depressing, unless you're on vacation or something. 
Music:
You should listen to music while doing this. I recommend something life-affirming. 


(Note: Some people mistaken drinking a beer in the shower for some sign of alcoholism. Well, it's not.)
