Chesterton -------------------------------------------------- Flashback to the 90s The 1990s were a cool decade for those of us who were alive. Some things we really miss, friend. But not everything was crazy, sexy, cool for Mr. and Mrs. Cubic Zirconia (nor for the rest of the world for that matter). What’s something you DON’T miss from the ‘90s? For me, it’s the alphanumeric typing on a pre-2000 flip phone with only numbers and no letter keys.  I gotta hit the “1” button 3 times to type one letter “C”? You kiddin’ me? Glad that’s pretty much gone forever (unless you’re a texting masochist, or perhaps-- probably with reason-- afraid a smartphone would spy on you). Some things we actually DO miss are gone forever, too, though.  But there’s at least one thing you may miss that can still be experienced pretty much anytime you want here in the future: the music .  Press play and enjoy, friend... because today’s email newsletter is brought to you by our teenage 1990s mixtape…and an eager guy flirting with a standoffish girl using nothing but old school lyrics . -- Mrs. Cubic Zirconia Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. It hasn’t been your day, your week, your month or even your year? My loneliness is killing me.  Your crew run-run-run, your crew run-run? Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle.  So tell me what you want, what you really really want? I think I’m cracking up.  Do me a favor, burn all the tapes.  It’s the end of the road.  On a Boulevard Of Broken Dreams? Strumming my pain with his fingers. When I close my eyes, I can see for miles. Into the danger zone! I dig my toes into the sand, the ocean looks like 1000 diamonds strewn across a blue blanket. Dream On. Stop! In the name of love.  Love is a battlefield.  Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me. I get knocked down, but I get up again.  Smells like teen spirit. Why should you wait any longer? Take a chance. It’s your time.  I’m a genie in a bottle, gotta rub me the right way. I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky...I'll be there.  I don’t want no scrub.  Y’all know me, still the same O.G. Picture me rollin’.  If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give.  I will buy you a new life. American idiot! What I want and what I need is and will always be free. I’m down on bended knee.  Keep one hand in your pocket. For better or worse, 'til death do us part.  I think you’re moving too fast.  I'll love you with every beat of my heart.  Girls just wanna have fun.  Girl-- don't let real love pass you by. I know someday you'll be a star in somebody else's sky. But why can't it be mine?  Don’t go chasing waterfalls. Pour the wine, light the fire. Girl, your wish is my command. I wanna dance with somebody, I wanna feel the heat with somebody. Ice is back with a brand new invention.  Take me down to the paradise city. Take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain. Tip up your cup and throw your hands up.  Will it ever stop, yo? I don’t know. Turn off the lights, and I’ll glow. How you lovin’, Biggie Smalls? I’ve been kissed by a rose.  I’ll make love to you. I don’t want to miss a thing. Do you ever dream of candy-coated raindrops? Every little step I take. Gonna make you Jump, Jump.  Push it. Say my name, say my name.  Girlfriend, here’s a pen, call me round ten. Hey now, You’re an all-star. Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails.  No diggity, no doubt.  This is how we do it ‘cuz I’m the man, girlfriend.  You make me feel brand new.  Maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me. Hit me, baby, one more time. It’s the return of the mack. Today was a good day. Nuthin’ but a G Thang. Crazy, Sexy, Cool.   Romance Corner Couples Battleship? Can sinking his sub really be romantic? Did you ever play the boardgame Battleship when you were younger? If you’ve never played, the rules are simple: it’s a guessing game where you sink your opponent’s hidden ships when your “torpedo shot” guesses about the location for each ship on a grid are correct. Whoever sinks the other player’s full navy first wins. We think it’s a fun game for couples to play together during quality time-- no matter your age!   If you and your “ship’s mate” significant other have been recently awash in screen time and looking to try a different tack in the romance department, give this a quick read: Couples Battleship? Can sinking his sub really be romantic? Why recommend playing Battleship in today’s Newsletter Romance Corner? 3 reasons: Because relationships should be fun, and we like to share ideas of fun things for couples to do together. Because in real life, it seems that most married men and women hit ONE ship, they sink it, and then just keep firing torpedoes at that same ship. It's supposed to be til death do you part, not til boredom do you part. Challenge yourselves to try something new and different! Because marriage can be a sea of he-said / she-said missiles and we ought to find ways to laugh about it. This game is a healthier way for couples to enjoy firing torpedoes mercilessly and sinking the other’s ship than the verbal warfare that even some petty arguments can escalate into becoming in any marriage (even between mostly secure and happy couples).  Continued on The Blog...
