Weekend Weird: Letting off some steam

24 Apr

Wednesdays Weird has been moved to Sunday, so you are now experiencing the New and Improved Weekly Weekend Weirdness. This weekend, Melvin wants to know, how do you relieve stress? Everyone gets stressed. It could be your blah 9-5 desk job, your 3 children, your co-workers under-appreciation,trying to get out from your mother’s downstairs living area, or just keeping your life together. Even a Man of Melvin’s grace and standards gets a little worked up when his Hot Pocket blows up in the microwave.Whatever it is that makes you stressed, the best thing you can do to distract yourself is have some fun.

Now, how am I going to combine Fun AND Weird? Well, I welcome you onto the bandwagon that is Steampunk. What exactly is steampunk? In short, it can be clothing/gadgets/art devoted to era or world where steam power was King. This awesome genre/niche can be composed of almost anything from brass, copper, steel, even including wood and leather!

Bust'in up Baddies

Sometimes, you just wanna shoot someone….with a Nerf gun. Its totally natural, with stress comes anger, so why would you want to end up with a lame plastic P.O.S. dart gun from the walmart when you could be poppin caps in high class…

Steam punk style.

There are also less violent ways to relieve stress. Like pounding out a few levels of Space Invaders Extreme on a Steampunk’d Gameboy,  or sitting down with a seriously specialized pen to jot your thoughts O’the day in an industrial styled journal?
