Shaving for Donations

Posting on a Thursday, what has the world come to? Don’t worry, it will be a short one.

Last year Carlos shaved his head to help raise money for childhood cancer research, and now he’s doing it again!  You can check out all the info and donate anything you can here.

So why should you give to this cause? The short answer is you can play a part in research that will help kids. The long answer, there aren’t many people in the world that I respect more than Carlos. In fact, off the top of my head, I can’t think of anyone. If he told me I should give to a random charity I’ve never heard of his recommendation would be enough. If he supports something, I know it’s worth it.

If you can donate that would be awesome; if not, it would be great if you could pass this along.

Tour de Amit

Another short one this week. My new router was part of an Independence Day sale at Fry’s, and since we have no Fry’s around I had to order online. As expected I recieved an email saying shipping was delayed due to high demand. So still no internet at the Saini house.

As such here is a preview of things to come: I’m not a very open person and most people who know me only do so through school. So to remedy this I’ll start posting more about myself. Next week we’ll start with my favorite food, recipe and all.

I finished teaching on Friday so I’ll have some more free time now. The next post will be ready for Sunday, I promise!

Hiatus

As you can all see, I didn’t post anything last week. The wireless at my house is down, so I can’t blog from my room like I usually do. I’m in the office now, and I just can’t bring myself to do a full out post. I think all of my creativity is still at home. I have ordered a new router, although I’m sure it won’t get here before our current one randomly starts working again anyway. Regardless, I’m hoping next week I can get back to blogging.

Just so you all know, I do have a lot of material plotted out, topics include: food and recipes, the infamous sports post, a ton of ideas about a topic only I’m interested in, and what kind of name is “The Awesome” anyway? I also have a “walking” update planned probably for sometime during August.

But in the meantime I will leave you with something: I had been craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for about a week, and picked up the needed supplies when I went grocery shopping this last Friday. Peanut butter is something I had been planning on reintroducing to my diet anyway, so the craving worked out great. When I got back to the office to drop off the food, I made a sandwich, and it was absolutely awesome! I’m usually the type of person who dwells on the smallest thing when something goes wrong, but as I was eating that incredibly tasty sandwich I started thinking that the small things can make you happy too, if you let them.

So since I’m not blogging this week, you guys can do it for me. I think it would be great if everyone leaves a comment about something that makes them happy. It can be something small, like PB&J, or if you’re so inclined, please talk about something more serious! That is of course, only if you want to divulge anything at all…

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day!

Blog Oath

It appears as though I now have a blog; how in the world did I end up in this predicament? It’s a savage tale of lies, loss and betrayal… well, not really. Not even close actually. It was sometime in April, possibly May when it happened, I was in the Math Office, as I often am, talking to Lisa, as I often do, and somehow, the conversation turned to blogs. To my surprise Lisa proposed that we should both promise to have our own blogs by the end of June. I of course said yes; I’ve always had a problem with talking before thinking things through. A few days (or weeks) later, I found myself back in the office, at which point Lisa told me we had to move up the date. To my dismay, I agreed again, but this time I quickly changed the subject. So here you are, at the beginning of June, reading my blog, The Awesome.

So I have a blog, what could I possibly have to blog about? That is the question, stay tuned for the answers! My plan is to post something every weekend. I think most anyone who is reading this knows me well enough to realize this won’t happen. There is also very little chance that the material I post will be of any interest to any of you. I for one will take solace in the fact that Kavita will read all of the dribble I write, what else are sisters for, right?

Coming up next week, my first, and possibly last post, about sports.
