Yarn Bombing

The new graffiti. No matter how cheerful, still as illegal as the rest. But it makes me so happy. The Wikipedia article explaining its history since 2004 is attached for those so interested. Don't worry, it's not too long an article.

Kiteboarding

So, believe it or not, this website was inspired, and these were the kinds of things I had in mind. Please feel free to broaden the horizons (no pun intended). Feel free to make an article regarding a song or a book or anything awesome. Please don't mind if I censor a bit to make sure everything's kusher. B" H the windings called for a rather tzanuah event, so this video is clean minus some shoulders at 1:44 for like two seconds, for those who are concerned.
   This is a Red Bull Extreme Sports competition, and you can check out some other amazing events such as free style soccer-ball foot handling-ness, and a personal favorite, cliffdiving. Enjoy

Introduction

      “Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book." This was one of my favorite lines from The Fault in Out Stars, by John Green, just because of how accurately I felt he hit this overwhelming sensation (and constructed it linguistically and grammatically, but that's another nerdy, English- geek thing for another time). Either way, I don't find that this phenomenon is exclusive to novels, but exists in many forms, be it photography, cinematography, articles, etc. And with this website, I hope to satiate that desire.
     Life doesn't come awesome, it's made awesome. This is a website dedicated to those who have made life awesome for themselves and others, by accomplishing amazing feats, doing amazing kindnesses for others, etc. and those who will stop at nothing to let everyone know about it. It is also meant to be an inspiration, implanting in the reader a desire to make the most of life and appreciate this amazing guf (body) and amazing olam (world) that God has created and blessed each of us with. 
      Please share it with other awesome people so that we all can share the awesomeness together; and remember, life doesn't come awesome, it's made awesome.
