A blogging compatriot mentioned to me recently that she didn't like the structure of the posts in this blog. "You put the 'Not Awesome' sections at the end," she said. "I walk away with a negative impression. I think it might be better for everyone involved if you put the 'Not Awesome' stuff first and closed the post with the 'Awesome.'"
Why I Am Not Awesome: I bristled at this recommendation. Didn't she see that I have clearly established a pattern here, and that to break it would be to ruin the whole structure of this endeavor? I then spent a few minutes inside my head, conversing with myself about how such a drastic change, even just once in a while, would destroy the central integrity of my blog, eventually vowing to never do as she had suggested.
Why I Am Awesome: Sometimes I'm flexible.

hmmm. it seems rather unorthodox and some what of a cheap thrill for you to end a series of thoughts with kittens and rainbows. sure, a warm fuzzy makes us all feel nice at the end of the day, but don't let the demand for warm fuzzies quell the power you unleash with your trademark retrospective stinkers. i stand by my initial p.t. epiphany: you bring out the worst in people, but in the best possible way. your knack for brutal honesty and self deprecation is actually quite endearing. please don't change things up too much, or i'll have to kill you.
