Auld Lang Syne

As I sit in the remaining hours of “OT” Nine, I realize that there are some things about this year that I am particularly going to miss. First and foremost, the privilege of saying “OT” in place of saying zero or simply “0” as though I am in some sort of old-timey speak easy relaying tails of how we fought against the Kaiser back in “OT seven” (I know my math is likely chronologically inaccurate, but I hope you follow my drift…). This last decade has been very favorable to offer up such a simple and inane pleasure.

I am grateful for the fact that I have this blog. It may seem silly to some, but it has allowed me to connect with many different people that would not otherwise be privy to the inner monologue that is more commonly known as The Pathway of Awesomery. I was tickled the other day to learn that my grandparents are in fact devout followers of the Path, and that they eagerly anticipate new posts. This is new and resounding evidence that walking in the ways of Awesomery is not limited to age. Following suit, I am currently instructing my young daughters in the intrinsic nature of the Path. I hope that their young minds will serve as veritable sponges—soaking in all that is Awesome; allowing them to become little Jedi knights of Awesomery.

I know that I must be more diligent in the upcoming year to post more often, and I genuinely intend to do just that. I won’t bore my fellow followers of the Path with my list of resolutions for 2010, but I will encourage you to at least make a mental inventory of some items that you would like to develop over the next year. Personal progress is in fact—awesome, and should really only be gauged by the beholder.

Great is the Path, Happy New Year.

Holiday...(celebrate!)

The holiday season has enveloped me like a really big envelope.

I have been so busy with all that is so much not related to the holidays, that I have been neglecting the writings of the Path. So today, I will leave you with two brief items:

First, I wish all of you to enjoy your holiday times. And as a supplement to those times, I give you this...A movie on me.

At any Redbox terminal you can enter the promo code "DVDONME" and it will give you a free one night rental. I don't understand why or how, but sometimes the Pathway drops little nuggets of awesome in your lap.

Second, my young offspring is learning Christmas carols for a daycare Xmas program. I asked her to relay them to me in tune this evening, and I was happy to hear that she could not only carry the tune, but had taken the liberty of making the lyrics her own.

"We wish you Merry Christmas

We wish you Merry Christmas

We wish you Merry Christmas

and a happy New Year...

good tied up your things to you and your kids

We wish you Merry Christmas

and a happy New Year..."

I nearly peed from laughter.

Great is the Path
