The Serenity Now!

My little sis, Deb, told me she was going boating with some relatives today. They just bought a boat and named it Serenity Now. Apparently, I missed that episode of Seinfeld. I just watched a couple clips from YouTube, and those were hilarious, so hopefully, I'll get a chance to watch it online this weekend. I think I can do that on the TBS website.

Here's the gist of it, according to Wikipedia:

Frank Costanza is advised to say "serenity now" aloud every time his blood pressure is in danger of going up, but he yells it instead.

This episode's plot was inspired by real-life events in the life of writer Steve Koren. While driving with his arguing parents, Koren was bewildered to hear his father shout "Serenity now!" at the top of his lungs as part of a rage controlling exercise and questioned whether or not the phrase was meant to be screamed.

Maybe I should try "serenity now" instead of "fuck this shit." Hopefully, I won't need either one this weekend. I certainly used it plenty yesterday after dealing with too much shit. In the form of asshats I've been dealing with. But I figured out some solutions and I'm feeling much more in control. Significantly less anxious. Maybe even serene.
