WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
CHRISTMAS!!
Christmas is especially awesome this year, as I am spending time with my very cute cousins, who are 7 and a half, and are exceedingly cute.
I got pretty awesome presents this year, which included a Snow Patrol CD from Mom. (Thanks Mom!)
So far this Christmas, I pretty much have hung out, played in the snow, and done some more hanging.
Pretty much Shiny all over.

Vacation
So this vacation I am in Connecticut and it is very fun hurray!
However, this is not the time to tell how cute they are, are talk about how lovely it is to be here, or how silly their new dog is, or how white the snow is. Nope.
Right now is the time to talk about shiny, and how it relates to awesome.
Awesome is an awesome word, right? It conveys just how extremely likable something is, how awesome it is.
But... it's time for a new word.
It's been a decade since awesome rose up to the top and stayed there. It has been the word for the aughts (00's) and should always have a place in our hearts.
But... it's time for a new word.
It's a new decade, with new opportunities, especially for language.
That is why I am proposing a number of words that should replace awesome, coming into these teen years of the new millennium.
1. Shiny.
2. Froody.
3. Cracked.
This is going to be awesome. (Wait... Dang it. This is gonna take a while.)

Avatar
Hmm... Avatar.
No, that Hmm was not me wondering what to say about Avatar.
That was me savoring the wonderfulness that is Avatar.
My God.
How to I put this?
Avatar was like finding a 50 caret nugget of gold wrapped inside a foot of pure platinum.
Avatar was like taking the cinematography from the Lord of the Ring, making it ten times more awesome, and then making a story that only enhanced the amount of work that was put into it.
Avatar was like having your craziest dream ever happen. You know, the one with the flying dragons, and the girl, and the luminescence, and the jumping? Yeah, it was that one.
Every angle, every scene, every moment that was in this film enhanced the pure pleasure that was watching it in every way.
Anything made after this, it's gonna have to jump through a lot of hoops to reach these heights.
As some guy wrote a little while ago, "We live in a post Avatar world."
I say, "Bring it."

The Past
I re-read Looking For Alaska today.
And in it, Pudge was constantly being reminded of how Alaska died, how she was no longer here, but stuck in some cold coffin, buried and maggot ridden, slowly fading away.
And yet she was, was a constant ache in his heart and gut, how she was always there, even if just to remind you that she wasn't.
And even if she was gone, even if she has past, was the past, inside, she was still there.
Still alive in her glorious, curvy, moody, unpredictable ways, inside each of those who remember her.
And she could not be forgotten, not fully, not completely. Because one would always be thinking of her now, and later, and later, and on and on and on and on and on and on.
There is no use thinking of it as the past, because you always think of it as the present.

De Loreans
So...
What happened to all the De Loreans?
Did...
did they exist?
Cause...
I feel like I should want one.
Seriously though, did they exist?

Sarcasm & Sincerity
OH NOOOOOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just realized that almost NOBODY reads my blog.
That is so UTTERLY and COMPLETELY depressing to me.
Just think, out of the millions of people who should so DESPERATELY read EVERY SINGLE word that I write down, only five are.
Man, my life sucks SO BADLY right now.
UGH.
That was a lesson on tonnage on the Internet, and how hard it is to separate sincerity and sarcasm. Be careful!

Music
You know what I find awesome?
MUSIC.
I don't really know why, but I've been listening to a lot more music the last few weeks then I have in the past.
Actually, something about growth and musical tastes may be in there, but that's not really the full picture.
What I mean is, I've suddenly realized that there is a whole universe of good music out there, and I've never even heard of it. And that's bad, because music is so good. It just makes me more in tune with the way the world works, how I fit in with it. It makes me happy, it makes me think, it makes me want to throw off all the worries and just rock out.
And that's...
There's just something about wanting to do that that makes music so cool. No matter where you are, who you are, what you like, music has the power to connect people. And it gives people a chance to connect with themselves.
Also, it's pretty cool that you can just throw a bunch of words concerning zombies and a rocking, show shattering, party disturbing, pool bashing, hospital exploring, zesty cheese dip melting melody/ rock god/ indie ho-down melody, and have people call you an "unexplored genious."
Now, if you excuse me, I got some nursery rhymes to create for modern children.
