The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century

Untitled

I've just come back from an evening out with my coworkers Darryl, Andrew and Sandra, buzzed off a fair number of Crown-Royal-and-Cokes, dark beers, and getting invited by the band to join them onstange in a performance of Steepenwolf's Born to be Wild. I'm drunk, but far too amped to fall asleep just yet, so here is the Accordion Guy Eightfold Noble Path to Living Well (with apologies to Siddhartha Gautama for stealing his schtick):

Snile broadly
Laugh lustily
Eat sensibly
Exercise regularly
Code completely (a tip of the hat to Steve McConnell)
Party heartily
Learn constantly
Give generously
Love unconditionally
Make sure your last words aren't "Hey, everybody -- watch this!"

Well, that's enough intoxipontification. Now, to bed.

"snile"?

Methinks you have just coined a new word... Sort of a sinister smile... or a good-natured sneer?

I love booze...

Oh Drunkie, how I love you. :)

I've always adored this:

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -- Emerson

Why, a snile is the cross between a smile and a sneer...indeed, a balanced outlook on life (while sober)

If you snile, does the whole world snile with you?

Snile (n) - a word based on a misspelling in a blog entry caused by alcohol/drugs and deep philosophical thoughts. A snile is always done by mistake and usually occurs around four in the morning.

Sentence usage: "Hey, did you catch that snile Accordian guy made in his latest blog entry?"

Snile (v): to snile, sniling, sniled. The act of blogging while drunk and/or in an altered state of perception.

Sentence usage: "I shouldn't have had all those Crown-Royal-and-Cokes because I just know I'm going to snile up my blog tonight."

If coining a new word -- intentional or not -- can gather all of this attention, imagine what real action can bring ...It leaves me sniling.
