40 X 365: 27. Scabs!

27. Scabs!

Not the people who cross picket lines, but the effects of your body healing a wound. You can see the repairs happening before your very eyes. And God help me if picking them isn’t the most satisfying experience on earth.


Don't worry, I'm not going to put a big pussy picture of a scab. I'd like for you all to keep coming back.

40 X 365: 26. The Hungry Brain!

26. The Hungry Brain!

With your abundance of seating (mostly old, worn out couches that might have been found on the street), flattering lighting, enviable juke box, sound beer selection and grungy men, how could I do anything but fall in love with you.

Kitsch done right.

40 X 365: 25. Money!

25. Money!*

You usually smell bad, you are often filthy, sometimes you’re way to stiff and then other times you seem so fragile I feel like you’ll fall apart in front of me. And still can’t seem to get enough of you.

My dirty money wedding dress. Says I'm classy and filthy rich without being obnoxious about it.


* This 40 x 365 can also be titled "Man I will probably marry!"

40 X 365: 24. A Clean Toilet in the Middle of the Day!

24. A Clean Toilet in the Middle of the Day!


I see the tell tale blue water and I think “JACKPOT!” It’s already 2:30p, yet no one has used this toilet today. There’s nothing like taking the inaugural pee in a sanitized toilet that escaped use for the entire day.

Awesome any time of day. Awesomist at the end of the day.

40 X 365: 23. Freckles!

23. Freckles!

Nothing says youthful like a face full of freckles. I have a freckle conglomerate on my nose every summer from many year’s worth of burns. Admittedly, the line between delightfully tinted flesh and dangerous skin condition can sometimes be blurry.

Freckles: guaranteed to make anyone 73% more adorable.

40 X 365: 22. America's Funniest Home Videos (or AFV, for those in the know)!

22. America's Funniest Home Videos!


America
, you can be damn stupid, and you LOVE capturing it on video. And I LOVE watching it. Every fainting groom, crotch shot and ill advised endeavor. Bob Sagat and his big-haired studio audience only ever brought you down.

A hex on you, Sagat, and your stupid voices and intros, for making America's Funniest Home Videos the joke of a show it is today (and not in the good way).


40 X 365: 21. Salt!

21. Salt!


Oh amplifier of flavor, enhancer of bland, there are few meals which you cannot make infinitely better. High blood pressure be damned! Sometimes, I wish I were a deer so sucking on a salt lick wouldn’t break with normative behavior.

So. Jealous.
