How many times a day do you say the word "awesome?" You could have that friend that labels everything as being awesome but for most people in this world this word is not a frequent flier in your vocabulary. There are somethings in this world that occur too frequently to be labeled as being awesome but for Neil Pasricha, the creator of the website, "1000 Awesome Things," nothing "amazing" that could have happened to you will go by without being recognized. He has been posting every weekday since June of 2008, one awesome thing that happens everyday and as of February 23, 2012 he has already posted 960 awesome things that have happened and has only 40 more posts to go until he reaches the goal of 1000 posts. Reading through all the posts, you can't help but agree with him.
Clean-cut and organized into specific topics, the first glance just screams "I mean business!" The short, straight-forward posts also suggest the formality of the website as a whole but that's not the end. Even though the persona of the site at first glance is formal and direct, the words say otherwise. Pasricha's choice of diction and overall use of comedy brightens the mood of the readers and suggests another side of his bright personality. His comical description of ordinary occurrences hypnotize readers into appreciating these "awesome" happenings that usually pass by unnoticed. I agree with all his posts which includes today's daily post ; I love it when I can "fix electronics by smacking them."
