Sick of Being Sick

For the past week and a bit, I have been unbelievably sick so I haven't been able to do some things that I would usually do. This has restricted me in both a positive and negative way and below I have complied a few small activities/events which have been effected into a Pro or Con column.

Pro's about being sick;
  1. More attention (I know its hard to believe thats possible, but it is)
  2. Sleeping in
  3. Missing school, this is also a Con

Con's about being sick;
  1. Being sick
  2. Not being allowed to go to friends places
  3. Not being allowed to go to parties
  4. Not being allowed to go out of my way to go to friends places/parties (think about it, and if you have, and still think 'WTF?' its all good)
  5. Taking anti-biotics - don't do drugs
  6. Missing school work,
The list goes on but as you can see, it is more negatively skewed than it is positively. All is well now though, I have come out of hibernation and will be attending the awesome stuff that I previously did once again.

All the best, me

20% More Awesome...

OK, so I was on myspace the other day and I see this guys profile;
'#8 Jake, now with 20% more awesome'

At the time this didn't really concern me, because in the back of my mind, I was thinking that he was at -20% awesome to begin with, henceforth upgrading to a sub-maximal of 0% awesome, he had nothing on me... However, I went to school and told some friends about this, as optimistic as they are they managed to shock me by saying 'Hey Taz, just a thought, but what if he was at say - 80% awesome instead of the estimated -20%? That would mean he is 100% awesome.' What was I suppose to do!! A valid point had been made about the percentile of this Jake's awesomeness. Something had to be done. As soon as I got home from school I signed into myspace.com and changed my profile name to;
'Taz, now 100% more awesome than Jake.'
Win? yeah...Win. What could he do then, he had nothing. With my problem solved I realise that I'll always be 100% more awesome steps in-front of Jake so even if, for some reason - he did manage to top 100% with his extra 20% more awesome bonus, I'd be sitting at 200% awesome, which to say is a little bit less than normal, but to quote AJ after he got his new "hair cut" - Variety is the spice of life.

PS. Jake if you are reading this, I want to let you know that being in my blog does mean that you are awesome, thanks for letting me have something really lame to talk about.
