The Genesis of Awesome

The world we live in can and will always be categorized: big or small, work or play, decaf or regular, asleep or awake, happiness or sadness. There is a whole world of categories, and even the categories can be categorized. Some of the categories we encounter can be helpful (fuzzy or sharp) while others remain completely useless because no one really cares (Quebec or Ontario). These categorizations are what help us through every day. By having categories we are able to hone in on what we want from life, ourselves, or breakfast (its the most important meal of the day). But amidst all the grouping and ordering there is one category that stands above all, this vital classification is between Awesome, and Un-Awesome. 

Looking past the unorthodox usage of the English language, a true scholar would realize the paramount importance of this classification. We have been living in a time saturated with the acceptability of mediocrity. We sit idly by while accepting things into our daily routines that are just 'good' or 'okay' or 'fair' instead of actively pursuing Awesomeness. If everyone actively pursued and brought Awesomeness into their lives, life on Earth would be like the last 10 minutes of a romantic comedy (the part where they get back together and then kiss and make up, often in the rain after yelling at each other, and everyone is happy they are back together, roll credits) and not like the preceding 40 minutes of the same movie (the part where they break up because of a stupid miscommunication, that could easily be solved by a phone call instead of uprooting your whole life without another word because of what an unreliable friend said happened -cue the montage of scenes with the woman going to work with half-smiles on her face and the man sitting in his apartment with the shades closed drinking in the morning- , but we are all sitting there knowing they are going to get back together because otherwise this movie would never sell, so there we are just frustrated and on the verge of yelling "just get on with it already" at an inanimate object). That may only be a gender appropriate analogy, so in case the point is not clear (and I have a tendency to rant, so it probably isn't): The pursuit of Awesome will enhance our lives. 

The sole purpose of this blog is to aid in the Pursuit of Awesome (okay, not the sole purpose. I get bored.) By analyzing different subjects for their Awesomeness and Un-Awesomeness I aspire to inspire the world (ie. anyone who takes the time to read this) to scrutinize their lives in a similar fashion, to go out and embrace the Awesome (be sure its consensual) and to cast off the Un-Awesome. Or at the very least, I'll give someone something to read while they enjoy the most important meal of the day. 

"And so, briefly after the transformation of chaos into order, separating the land and sea, and creating man, right before turning in for the recently established and well deserved day of rest, God looked back at the productive week he had. He observed his creations and saw that they were... Awesome. And in doing so, God created Awesome - And it was Awesome in the eyes of God. God gave himself a pat on the back, rolled over, and went to sleep."
