Noneya Beeswax November 12, 2009

It’s a long ass story, but frankly, it’s also noneya beeswax. I know. Not much of an explanation, but this is my last post on Basically Awesome. I threatened to quit the other day, but got talked out of it. Not this time. Please don’t send me your comments. This is not a ploy. I’m not looking for praise or hoping for compliments. I am just not “Awesome” (as a persona?) any longer. I know why I have to do this for myself and that’s all anyone has to know.

Thank you for reading! I’m going to miss you. Miss it. Whatever.

Apparently,  ”Basically Awesome” was short-lived. Peep. Peep. Peeeeeeeeeep…

RIP.

Easier Said Than Done November 10, 2009

Easier said than done. True dat.

Easier said at night than done in the morning. Even more true. Ever notice how you can have the best intentions at night, but in the morning all you want to do is snooze some more? That’s what I’m talking about.

Know What Else I Love? November 8, 2009

Know what else I love? I’ll tell you:

Blizzards from Dairy Queen: Specifically, the Snickers one and the Banana Creme Pie one. Oh. My. God. Delicious.

“Cougar Town”: Another crazy funny TV show! I strongly suggest you get caught up on all the previous episodes and then continue watching weekly.

“Entertainment Weekly”: How anybody does without this magazine is beyond me. I love knowing about all things to come in movies, TV, books, and more.

Rolls from Texas Roadhouse: These rolls are a gift from God, I’m sure of it. Even better, is a late-night run to the Roadhouse for a couple dozen rolls – Best midnight snack ever. (Dr. Pepper sold separately, but a must.)

Breakfast in bed: I think this one goes without saying. And yet, here I am, saying it…

Suffice it to say, these things will make your life better. Take my advice. You’ll be glad you did. And as they say at Chik-Fil-A, “My pleasure.”

How Can This Be? November 8, 2009

Sometimes I have an idea and then, almost immediately, I see it somewhere or hear about it. It’s already on the market? How can this be?

How can they copy me even before I have thought of it?! Blows. My mind.

Is there a rift in the time-space continuum? Are they time travelers? Only possible explanation…

That Is So Convenient, Thank You November 7, 2009

So, I just found out my concert got cancelled. Don’t even get me started on that…

Ticketmaster sent me an email. They say they’re crediting my card for the price of the tickets, but keeping some of my money. It’s a “convenience fee.” Wow, that is convenient. Thank you, Ticketmaster. I love paying 24 bucks for nothing.

It’s A Mystery November 6, 2009

Why is it when Shakira does it, it’s soo sexy and when this guy does it, well… not so much? It’s a mystery.

Frankly, this video is a little disturbing, but what makes it awesome is how well this remake is done shot-for-shot. I know I’m impressed. And at times, it’s laugh out loud hilarious. Everyone needs to laugh out loud sometimes.

Oh Snap! November 6, 2009

Check out these bat catching skills! Talk about awesome…

Eat Your Breakfast! November 6, 2009

Why is it that in movies and TV shows, families make such a big deal about eating breakfast, but they never eat? They make this huge spread of pancakes, eggs, fruits, juices, and more – it looks delicious! But half the time, the kids never even sit down. Maybe they grab something, maybe they don’t and they run out the door in a rush! What a waste. Every now and then, the parents force the kids to sit, but they still don’t get much eating done. Food still goes to waste…

I’ll admit I hardly ever eat breakfast, but I don’t make it and leave it on the table! I just grab my foam cup of ice and fill it with cold Dr. Pepper. Believe me, not a drop of my “breakfast” goes to waste.

I’ve Got Blisters On My Fingers! November 6, 2009

Thought about this scene from “Yes Man” yesterday, so I decided to watch it again. It’s not new or cutting edge, but it’s very watchable. And the song is awesome. Plus, the finale rocks… “I’ve got blisters on my fingers!”

(It redirects you to YouTube, but it’s worth the detour when you get a chance.)

 

I’m No Doctor, But… November 6, 2009

Patient says to his doctor: “Hey, doc, what’s wrong with me? What’s this lump in my chest? I can feel it. Come on,  feel it. Tell me…”

Doc’s diagnosis: “That’s a gasket. You blew it.”

I’m no doctor, but that would be my guess. People blow gaskets all the time.
