So, a while ago I stumbled across this and decided to start a top awesome things list of my own. However, seeing as I have the attention span of a 5 year old ADHD child on crack, I’ve decided to lower my count to 100 awesome things.
Let the awesomeness begin!
Awesome Thing #100 – Shark Week on the Discovery channel.
I’m moderately obsessed. They’re so graceful and deadly at the same time. Swift, sleek ballerina’s o’ death. Fun to watch. I want to swim with them one day (in the sturdiest cage man can build). That and I just think it would be fun to stare thoughtfully into the water, look at the deck, look at the captain and say “we’re gonna need a bigger boat,” on the ride to the dive site (repeatedly). AND, I just found out that Discovery channel has videos from Shark Week online! I don’t know if I’d pair those videos to Vivaldi, but…. sharks!!! Plus, how cool are Great Whites?! They’re prehistoric! So, in summation: sharks = cool. Thank you Discovery channel! AWESOME!
Awesome Thing # 99: Achmed the Dead Terrorist:
Comedian Jeff Dunham & his Halloween decoration cracks me up. He’s dead! He’s a terrorist! He insults the audience! He makes fun of terrorists! What’s not to like? Jeff Dunham has brought ventriloquism back from the grave. You, sir, rock. And roll (one of his other characters, “Walter” is pretty funny too.) AWESOME!
Number 98: Sam Trammell (aka Sam Merlotte) from True Blood
Ridiculously. good. looking. If I could find a man that’s half of what his character Sam Merlotte is, I’d be just peachy. He’s sweet, polite, charming, kind of shy, kind of badass and also doubles as man’s best friend (he plays a shapeshifter who turns into collies lol). Ok. Maybe I could do without the fur. But, nonetheless, Sam Trammell/Merlotte = AWESOME!
Number 97: Siberian Huskies
They look like wolves! They can pull sleds! They helped early Innuit people survive! They rock in the snow & they’re as stubborn as I am! I want one! As soon as I finish traveling and have seen a good portion of the world, I am going to settle down somewhere fantastic with a big yard and I am going to get a Siberian Husky and name him something badass, like… Fluffy. Nah. More like Austin, Houdini, Bentley, Dakota, Jake, Atreyu, Lex…. hmm… naming dogs is fun. And more importantly, Siberian Huskies are AWESOME!
Number 96: Getting the Best & Last Parking Space
You have a rough day – you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, get gum stuck in your hair, your significant other breaks up with you, your boss yells at you, your dog got run over by some redneck in a pickup truck. To make things worse, you’re late to your meeting or were supposed to be at your destination hours ago and you’re already even more pissed off because you know there’s no way in hell you’re getting a parking spot this late in the game. You circle through the parking lot, praying, hoping, wishing that someone will leave their spot in the lot.
At this point, there’s only one thing that can cheer you up – no matter how awful your day was. When you pull up to wherever you’ve got to go and you find one lone parking spot in a lot that’s jam-packed full of cars, you just singlehandedly won the Super Bowl. When that spot happens to be the roomiest, most convenient parking spot in the whole parking lot, the heavens themselves open up and sing the sweet hallelujah chorus. It’s like karma & good old J.C. himself have flown down and given you a big high five (instead of the bitchslap you normally get). And the one word to decribe that sublime, hell-yeah feeling of getting the last spot (and having it be the best): AWESOME!
