Thread: TOP AWESOME THINGS...

That last, crumby triangle in a bag of potato chips
Finding money you didn’t even know you lost.
New form of currency

Sticks to the pageThe smell of crayons.






Talking about how much the meal you’ re eating would cost at a restaurant.              
                                          
A second callingSaying the same thing a sports commentator says just before they say it.                               
Taking your shoes off after a really long day.


The idea for this thread comes from a funny, witty, popular blog, launched 3 years ago http://1000awesomethings.com/ which ended up being published as a Book in 2010. I was motivated by Miguel(5thA)when he recently posted a fun video on February 7th (check it out below) about the word "Awesome".

Here´s the deal:

Taking the statements with pictures above as examples, write something that is actually Awesome to you. It can be about anything, ie: Peeling an Orange in One Shot or When Your Boss Leaves Early for the Day or The Smell of Rain or Popping Bubble Wrap, etc...You can take a look at the TOP 1000 Awesome Things expressed by other people in that blog mentioned above by clicking here: http://1000awesomethings.com/the-top-1000/

  1. Come on Inma.. I know you was about to write an "A" instead of "M" while spelling my name... lol just kidding, totally don't mind

    There's a motto from one of the character at "How I met your mother" that says... "When I get sad I stop being sad and being awesome instead" lol isn't it original?

    know what?Since I love awesomeness I'm thinking of searching for that book. I find it interesting.
