When I am snowboarding, one thing that I try to do every time I go snowboarding is to get powder from deep snow to fly up into my face. This event is when you turn your board perpendicular to the ground in deep snow to get blasted by it. It feels like you just jumped into a mountain of pillows and they just surrounded your body. It only last a couple of seconds, but it feels like time had just slowed down and all you could feel is the soft powdery snow in your face.

Telling a story. That’s what’s awesome. Whether you’re sitting around a campfire, up on a stage, or sitting behind the keys of a piano, everything you do speaks volumes. Every person has a story to call their own, and they share it whether they know it or not. When a sassy eye roll follows a friend’s stupid comment, or a sudden rush of blood to the cheeks appears after a sweet hug hello, all these little details can reveal so much that you may normally wish to keep hidden. Always remember that you are constantly on display. An actor on a stage. Whether it is your goal to impress the audience or simply just act for your own enjoyment is your choice; but you must always be aware. No destination in mind. Driving around in awe of the beauty that surrounds you, now that is the most freeing feeling. All colors become more vibrant and vivid. Somehow driving clears the mind and rejuvenates the soul. There are no worries when driving. You can clearly think and remember. It’s incredible when the sun gleams down orange streaks blended with yellow. The time of day when everything is a victim of golden hour. The light is reflected off of all things. When you look in the mirror and see the leaves rustling behind you. Life becomes enhanced with beauty. It’s the most pure and rewarding feeling. Just drive. Just go somewhere and drive. Awesome to me is magic tricks. The working of the magician to start to get into the person mind to convince them that what they're seeing is magic but its really not. When it comes to magic we tend to try and study the magic trick to try and see any bumps or mess up that the magician is trying to cover up. When tend it overthink ourselves when the answer is right in front of our faces. A man had three simple cups, all red. Pours water into one cup and not the other two. He mixes the cups up for about 20 seconds and then tells you to guess what cup has the water in it. You guess the cup and he turns it over with no water in it. You guess another cup but again, no water in it. Finally, you have no other choice but to guess the last cup and still no water. So by this point, you think “oh my gosh” he made the water disappear but actually he just poured a clear chemical substance in the cup that looked like water, and after a few seconds the substance has hardened up and by that time he turns the cup over and nothing comes out because the chemical substance has hardened all up. There is nothing more awesome than putting a slice of pizza full of toppings on your plate. There always seems to be pieces of pizza you will come across in your lifetime that are filled with empty cheese space and one topping all the way up by the crust. This is horrible. If anyone wanted that they would order a cheese pizza. But if you ordered a pizza with toppings on it, every slice should be filled. This is why when you eat a piece of pizza where almost every square inch has a piece of topping on it, it is a truly amazing thing. Every bite is filled with glory. Skating onto the ice, in front of a home crowd is the one of the best feelings the body can feel. Now imagine that feeling with brand new, clean, and vibrant uniforms on. That is the best feeling. Over the years I have played for many different organizations and everytime my team has had different colors, different logos, and overall different uniforms. Every Time there was a change, it was awesome showing off the new threads to friends, family, and fans. Most recently, the varsity hockey team got new sweet uniforms. The old ones were boring, getting nasty, and loosing color. Once the new jersey was designed and given to us it was the best feeling ever. The new bright colors, fresh smell, and sweet look of the uniforms is an amazing sensation that everyone should experience at least once. Now for those of you that don’t play a sport, therefore do not get to experience the feeling of showing off sharp new threads, this feeling is like wearing a new pair of shoes, which everyone can relate to being awesome. Not everyone will agree that getting new uniforms, and showing them off to the home crowd, friends, family, and even just to your teammates is an awesome feeling, I will always remember the exhilarating feeling of putting on the socks, jersey, gloves, and helmet of a new hockey uniform for the first time. What an awesome feeling. There are many awesome things. When you hit all green lights driving down McKnight. When an album drops and every song slaps. When you walk into class right as the bell rings. When the waiter brings out your steaming buffalo chicken pizza. When you didn’t do your homework, and there’s a sub. Although all of these things are clutch, there is something I find particularly awesome. The first snowboarding trip of the year. There is nothing like hitting the slopes for the first time. Standing at the top of a mountain, watching the frozen flakes fall lightly, and seeing the sun glisten on the snow, brings a feeling of awesome that is unexplainable. And then you start down the slope. Wind and snow in your face, you feel nothing but adrenaline. In that moment, everything is beautiful. Nothing else matters. All worries slip away. Everything is perfect. And then, the realization that you forgot how to snowboard because it has been so long hits you in more that one way. The next thing you know your face is buried in the snow, and you taste the cold snow in your mouth. And yet, the snow is so soft that it felt like clouds, and you get up laughing. And the feeling you have is pure excitement, joy, and peace. It is truly awesome. It’s hard to explain the feeling of when something fits just right, whether that be from something as small as a Lego set going together or a new jacket fitting just right to as intricate as a motor vehicle. When you’ve built something from the ground up and it comes together perfectly. It’s that feeling of “I did that”. The satisfaction of building a car and you’re the first one to fire up the engine where everything you did went together perfectly to make that moment happen. That feeling that you did your job and you did it well. Passenger side seat and staring out the window. Those peaceful car rides in which no one is talking, but it’s a peaceful silence, settle your mind into a brief enjoyable ignorance to the bustling world around you everyday. A ride long enough to play through a handful of songs, but not too long that you become sore and you have to stretch once you get to your destination. Headphones on, blaring your favorite songs through your ears. Whether you are daydreaming about the future or about hypothetical situations, planning your day in your head, watching the scenery go by, or just enjoying the music playing through your headphones, those mid length car rides are awesome. The drive to a mall or to a shopping center. The drive home from school or from work. The drive from a family member of friend’s house. Stresses of regular life can be ignored for a small moment in time. Everything seems to be at peace in those few moments. Genuine friendships are pretty amazing. I don’t mean the obvious perks like having someone be supportive and knowing that someone always has you back. Those are definitely wonderful though. I’m talking about the unconventional perks. Like when you get to starbucks and they start ordering your favorite drink from memory. Or when they buy you a birthday gift that isn’t necessarily expensive or big, but it’s exactly what you wanted and you didn’t even need to tell them. When they automatically get you a purple spoon or straw because they know that it’s your favorite color. When they buy clothes knowing that they’re buying it for both of you to wear. That is the most awesome part of having best friends. |
