Things That I Find Awesome

Hey All, Pete here again. It has been about a month since I last posted anything so I figured I would step it up and write something. But, working two jobs hasn’t allowed me much time for writing. Also I procrastinated a lot, but that’s ok because it means I’m normal. That’s right, procrastinating is normal and if you don’t procrastinate and you get things done then you are weird and probably have no friends. Because no one wants to hang out with a person that has his or her life organized. It makes normal people (like me) feel uncomfortable and guilty. But I'm rambling again, anyway, here's my post.

Have you ever had a moment where something you saw or did just stuck in your head? I have, and when I see them I take a picture or write them down to remember it, partly because I have a bad memory and partly because I just think they are awesome. I’ve collected a couple recently that I wanted to share in this section I call

Things That I Find Awesome

Issue #1 Multiple Shower Head Systems

On a recent trip I took down to the lake I rented a condo to stay in. I have been going down to the lake for years and we normally choose from three “resorts” (if you can call them resorts, really they are just groups of condo buildings). Anyway this time my family and I tried something different and rented a condo from a real estate agent. Now this place was weird, and I mean weird. The best way for me to describe it to you is like this: modern style architecture with a country western decorations and a heavy touch of Jesus.

Now I have nothing against the Christian faiths or having religious materials in you house. But this place had 27 references to Jesus or God, I counted. It was only a one story condo! That includes crosses, statues, bibles, bible quotes hanging on the wall, paintings, etc. Also this place had no “rooms” the way normal people think about them. It just had these random walls that kind of separated the condo into parts. Because of this design many things were just out in the open: sinks, beds, toilets, oven, couches. It was impossible to tell where a room began and ended.

This condo did have two redeeming characteristics. The first was they had a legit mexican poncho and cowboy hats hanging on the wall. So I wore them whenever I was in the condo to blend into the theme. The second was a shower with six separate shower heads. It was incredible. I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a shower so much. The heads were arranged with two main shower heads facing opposite so their water streams crisscrossed. The other four heads were mounted on the wall at chest and stomach levels and sprayed straight out. It is probably the closest I will ever get to being able to walk through a car wash (which by the way, is something I have always wanted to do).

I was so excited about this shower that I told a lot of my friends about it. Many people thought that more than one shower head was awesome, but one “environmentally friendly” friend was not impressed.

“That’s so wasteful,” She said, “You realize that you used enough water for six showers, one for each head!”

To which I replied, “It was probably more like 12 showers, I was in there for a good 40 minutes to an hour.”

When I mentioned that I wanted another shower head for my house she got furious.

“You should get a low flow shower head, they are much better for the environment.”

So to get her to shut up I let her show me some of these low flow shower heads, and I have one thing to say about them.

NO

Are you kidding me? These things emit a trickle of water. It would be like trying to take a shower with water out of a rain gutter when it was only drizzling outside. Screw that, I have better plans for my bathroom. I am going to get an extra 5 heads in my shower. Why? Because I find them awesome. I like stepping out of the shower feeling as if I just got power washed from 6 different angles, believe me, THAT is a clean feeling.
