Road to Awesomeness…

How many of you agree with me that Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) is awesome? The super confident womanizer never lets one forget his ‘awesomeness’. His funny, bold one liners are entertaining, teaching us a thing or two at times. As Barney would say, “The most important thing I’ve learned is how to be awesome. It’s fairly simple:”

1. Don’t even think about getting married until you’re 30.

2. Don’t wait for the signal. Just kiss her or him.

3. Grab life by the crack and lick the crap out of it.

4. If you get caught accidentally grinding with your cousin at a very loud club, italics: that night did not happen.

5. Every Halloween, bring a spare costume in case you strike out with the hottest girl or guy at the party. That way, you have a second chance to make a first impression.

6.  If your brain screws you up, power down that bucket of neuroses, inebriation-style. Five shots should do the trick.

7. Focus on the positive: My life rocks! Money, suits, and sex? These are tears of joy! I could be cooped up in an apartment, changing some brat’s poopy diaper but instead I’m out in the world being awesome 24/7/365!

8. Your job is an important part of your image. 

9. The four most important words at a wedding: It’s for the bride.

10. Create a list of attainable goals and cross off your accomplishments. 

11. Allow people to slap your face, but do not allow them to slap your mind.

12. Invest at the gym. You’ll see aggressive growth in your future.

13. Don’t poop where you eat.

14. Comfort your friends in their hour of need. If that involves really hot kissing, so be it.

15. And finally, when you get sad, stop being sad and be awesome instead.
