If you are one of the select few who has not heard of or checked out The Book of Awesome, I highly recommend it.
This successful blog was recently published in book form and brings one of life’s awesome tidbits to light on a daily basis.
That being said, I’m not trying to steal anyone’s thunder, nor am I attempting to bring people down. It just got me thinking there are a number of things that bother me that I do not find awesome in a world where I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by too many awesome things to list.
I have dedicated the next four days to 100 Things That Are Not Awesome. Maybe you’ll agree with some or all of them.
