The first of the month is the way to go.
Enjoy it while you can.
More details will come... soon.

trading

I haven't really traded before.
Until now.
And my first experience was exciting and very worthwhile.
What's funny is that I've been looking for a new hat for a while but never found one.
Until now.
To my delight, Chelsea of birthdayeveryday.etsy.com hand knit a black hat, which looked awesome. Someone suggested how it would rock in red, like Steve Zissou in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.


Which I agreed too that it would be awesome in red. So I voiced out how I would love one. She said she liked my Honorable Mention tee. So the wheels of trading started to turn.

I got it and I'm in love.

Including my pets who wanted to sniff it for hours.


I'll wear it all the time.
Maybe even when its not cold anymore.
Maybe when I'm inside.
Maybe I'll wear it as a night cap when I go to sleep.
But probably not.

better. badder. best

What's better than an eye patch and Abe Lincoln?
Abe Lincoln wearing an eye patch.


What's better than Abe Lincoln wearing an eye patch?
NOTHING!

The End.

20 years

Some of you may disagree, but with with 20 year behind them, the Simpsons are one of the "things that are awesome." At least to me.

Want proof? Who can say, they did not find the following things funny...


Dialogue between Homer and his brain:
homer: 20 dollars.....
brain: 20 dollars can get you more peanuts
homer: explain how!
brain: money can be exchanged for goods and services.
homer: woo hoo!


You pressed "you" referring to me. That is incorrect.
The correct answer is you.




Homer: No TV and no beer make Homer go... something... something....
Marge: Go Crazy?
Homer: Don't mind if I do!


This is not including all the Ralph quotes that always come up.
"I bent my wookie" or "they taste like burning!"

If you need more proof, well then, I don't know you.
Just kidding. I do.
Well kind of.
Unless I know you in real life. Not Internet life.

families

a suggestion for "things that are awesome" was families.
And the time to talk about the awesomeness of families is right after the holidays.
Not all families are awesome, but sometimes they are.
Mine isn't too shabby.
I went over to my mom's new place to check it out and to also pick up some of my old stuff. Mostly books, but some other great gems here and there.
(I'll take more pictures of them and post them in the near future.)


Its awesome to see my mom, whom I haven't seen in a while.
Its awesome to find a picture I drew of a castle that I won 1st prize for in the 6th grade.
Its not awesome to be shown and shown to others, the awful/awkward pictures of me when I was younger.

who are you?

So I'll be busy this week with holiday-ish stuff.
But I wanted to put out another "Things that are Awesome" for everyone to think about while I'm away. And when I say everyone, I mean the 2 people (counting myself) who are reading this. At least I think there is at least 1 other person reading this.

Anyway.... I just wanted to put out there that another Thing that is awesome, is you.
And who better than Abe Lincoln himself to reiterate that.




Thanks Abe. You are the best! oops. I mean... AWESOME! Just like the one reader! Thanks reader!

the 'stache

This is the first installment of...



I couldn't go and make a Things that are Awesome list without having my first list be about the 'stache.
Now you may be thinking, "PFFT! You already blogged about facial hair loser!" But PFFT on you! I'll have different people on my list.
Now who's the loser?! Not I, LOSER!
Here are MORE examples of famous people who hold the power of the 'stache:

Gandhi


Ned Flanders (diddly)


The Village People (ignore the Native American)


Mario Mario (Yes, Mario's last name IS Mario)


Alex Trebek


Groucho Marx


The Swedish Chef



Here is Mario Mario showing us the different kinds of mustaches there are.


If you don't enjoy the fun/awesome-ness of the mustache, then clearly you are missing out.
For those of you with mustaches that have been looking for a good mustache institution, look no further.
