Hello everyone, it seems to me that I have been sticking to mostly mainstream things so far. Things that everyone already knows about and thinks are awesome. I've decided to deviate from that because I think it might be more interesting to read about more obscure things, correct me if I'm wrong. Of course, this makes it more likely that you will disagree with my awesome things because what seems awesome to me may not be the same things that are awesome to you. I hope you understand and will still find lots of awesome things on my blog, and if you disagree with my personal opinion please try not to get too outrageously upset because it is only one person's opinion after all. We can't all agree about the exact definition of awesomeness and we will each have unique paths to awesomeness, so you'll have to find the things that work to make you more awesome. Remember, like I said in some previous post, becoming awesome is not a spectator sport, so get out there and start being awesome!

| YAM FRIES!!! |
Yam fries are like regular fries except instead of potatoes you use yams. I know that wasn't really that hard to figure out. In order to prepare yam fries you must go to a restaurant that serves yam fries - I went to Boston Pizza - and order them. If you are half decent at cooking, which I am not, I assume you would cut up yams in the shape of fries and fry them. There might be spices or something, but I have no idea what they would be if there is. If you have Internet, which you should unless you got your grandson to print out my blog for you, then there is probably a recipe for yam fries online somewhere (eg.
here or
here). I haven't tried either of those recipes, but the picture looked pretty good. Also, yam fries generally come with some sort of dipping sauce, which makes them twice as awesome. There are probably recipes for that online too. If in doubt just mix rosemary with mayonnaise. It tastes good, and even someone as gastronomically challenged as myself can make it.
Why Is It Awesome: Because they are delicious, and eating delicious food is definitely more awesome than eating terrible, disgusting food. Bonus: yams are vegetables, so they're probably better for you than just drinking melted lard like you normally would. Double Bonus: 'yam' is a fun word to say.
Dancing in the Street at Night

Now you might think it is extremely obvious what this is, but you would only be eight ninths correct. The key to dancing in the street at night awesomely is to use music that is audible outside of your own head. DO NOT just start dancing with no music because you will look like a crazy person especially if you are alone (by the way, it is best to do this in groups or you'll probably look crazy no matter what). Also don't dance with an MP3 player that no one else can hear; you will still look crazy. Using a phone that plays music is good; using a boombox is better.
Why Is It Awesome: Because doing things at night is usually more fun than doing those things in the day. And music is cool. And dancing is sometimes cool, although I'm not a fan of dances or clubs, but dancing in the street at night is much better.
