Awesome

   The subtle, yet amazing concept of "awesome" is truly appealing. I pretty much spent all day in deep contemplation of nothing other than the meaning of "awesome". I know I am awesome, but what is the qualifying elements for awesome? Is it something you must do, like a level in a video game. Everybody above level 7890973987 is awesome, and everyone else is just "regular"? Ugh, regular, that is such a nasty word. On my mission I learned that nobody is regular unless they submit themselves to it. It seems that this wouldn't be possible, but by just making a simple choice one can submit himself to the horror of just being regular. For example, when we go to the store we can choose the original flavor, which sucks, (just so everyone knows I don’t think that should be a surprise), or we can choose something fantastic like "spicy nacho" (which is awesome!) It takes our uniqueness to become awesome. It is not what we do that is similar to everyone else that makes us awesome, but what we do that is different. This is possibly the same as how we define ourselves. This is, I think, a profound thought. We define ourselves by how we are different, and that definition is our "awesome". Awesome then changes from an adjective to a noun. AWESOME!
