The Grumpiest of Awesome

I know, I know. You are all like, "Anthropologeek, where have you been!?!"
Being awesome. That is where. Yes I am aware that awesome is not really a place, but let's face it, when you are this awesome, indisputable concepts such as space, gravity, and onions making you cry are rendered disputable.
What makes me so awesome? I will elaborate.

Are you familiar with Grumpy Cat? Because you should be. This cat is GRUMPY.



Why do I like Grumpy Cat? Because this cat epitomizes every cranky, snarky, mean emotion I've ever kept hidden deep inside me. All those feelings that aren't ok to express? Project them onto a cat and America loves them. Somehow, don't ask me how, this validates those emotions. Also because it just looks sooo grumpy. And that is cute.

I know, the true reason for my awesome has yet to be revealed. Don't get all antsy in your pantsy, it's coming.

Do you know Kid President? Well you should. This kid is AWESOME.



This kid is inspirational, damn funny, and dances like the crazy homeless man that lives in the courtyard near my house. Here's one of his pearls of wisdom: "Don't be in a party. Be a party." So poignant, Kid President. You speak to my soul.

SO HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED:
My co-worker, who is now being appointed my life coach, suggested I email Kid President to recommend interviewing Grumpy Cat. AND I DID. And guess what...HE WROTE ME BACK and said it was A GREAT IDEA. All caps mean I am excited. 

So I sent an e-mail to Grumpy. And I appointed myself the official Grumpy Cat - Kid President Liason. Big Dreams, Big Accomplishments.

Anthropologeek is back...and a bonus

I would apologize for being a delinquent blog owner, but that would take too much time and feeling guilty over a blog is like feeling guilty over spilled milk. Only less messy and without animal products. So, sorry I'm not sorry.
But we are back, geekiness fully intact, to regale you with ridiculousness and joy and bring sparkles and light to your life.
So what has your favorite anthropologeek been up to since we last spent time together? Too much to talk about here, buy me a drink and we can chat.

So let's start this off my beginning a feature I hope to share often.....vocabulary with anthropologeek. Today we will learn the word bananarchy:

Bananarchy
noun

1) A state of disorder due to lack of authority and/or social norms that occurs in natural food stores. Most commonly on Sundays between 11 am and 3:30 pm.
2) Disregard/disobedience of proper check-out line protocols at natural food stores resulting in basket-jockeying and spilled grapes.
3) Confusion and disorder descending into pure chaos - see Whole Foods in Cherry Creek.
