Destruction through Construction

The act of diminishing or destroying the original meaning or purpose of an entity (be it individual, location, building, group, etc) during the act of building it up (building up the image, adding to the building, adding more rules to a group, etc). Not to be confused with hype, which is the building up of expectation.

Guy 1: “Man the club used to be so fun, now its just a drag, what happened?”
Guy 2: “Destruction through construction, id say it happened when that one guy came in and added all those rules.”

Destructions

A booklet, sometimes written in several languages, that details in confusing terms how to assemble something.

I used the destructions to put the entertainment center together and now the TV won't fit in it.

Distraction Travel

Travel that is interesting enough and long enough away from your normal life that the distraction of the new sights, activities, food, drinks, culture etc cause you to break all your normal habits. Can be great for weights loss, clearing a foggy head due to stress or a high work load. Generally involves at least 4 weeks away to allow complete disconnection from ones normal regime, lifestyle and habits.

I really need some distraction travel to clear my head as I can't decide whether to quit this job and go full time on my sideline or not.
