This blog post is going to be LEGENDARY!

Ok not really... I've just been watching a lot of How I Met Your Mother.  And by a lot I mean... I'm on episode 3 of season one.  The LEGENDARY flight to Philly.

I'm going to have to add licking the liberty bell to my list of things to do.

OK maaaaaaaaybe not.

Anywho there was a line at the end of this show that really inspired me this evening....

"And this is why I hang out with barney... I never got where I thought I wanted to go but I always got a great story."

I think that's sorta... a really... REALLY... great line.  I mean... the funny thing about life is we always kinda get sad or upset or disspointed by the worst things... that sometimes lead to the best things!

Ok... I mean just stay with me for a moment.  Think back in your life and think about the things that ended up REALLY being annoying or sucky.  Then think of how maaaaaaybe not always, but most of the time just when you are thinking to your self blaaaaaaah... something great happens!  Or life takes a turn and then all of a sudden there's just awesomeness around the corner!

Or something happened and you're thinking well that seemed to be pointless and completely not anything with getting me to where I want to be!

But the thing about life is I don't think it's a destination at all, it's a journey.  It's just a story built on a story built on a story and we use each previous story to help shape the next one!  And we can refer back to previous stories to laugh or cry when we think about them.

I mean... morning comes just when the night is darkest and longest.  Ok... I heard that somewhere... I just don't remember where.  Or maybe I read it somewhere?  I don't remember.  But it's true!  Things always get most awesome after not being awesome for a while.

But I think everyone should be prepared for awesomeness to happen in their life at ANY moment.  It's coming!  Awesomeness.

I actually had a note to write a blog titled "stay happy" like that stay thirsty commercial.  But then I watched this episode of How I Met Your Mother and decided to write on this.

But... I don't know... I mean... so maybe this blog post isn't legendary but I'm sure that if you think about something in your life you can name at least one thing that is legendary... and I'm sure just around the bend... there's even more things to come that are even more legendary!

I know for me I just recieved another email today on my Philly Comedy Improv class.  If you'd asked me a year ago if I thought I'd be signing up for an improv class... I'd have said... ummm... WHY would I do that?!?!

I guess maybe I got a little NPH/Barney inspired and just kinda did it on a random whim.  I really like some of what Barney has going on with his character.  It's like he spices up his life by acting on a little on whim and chance.

Sooooooooo I'll definitely post updates on the way about my whole comedy class thing to let everyone know how it goes... but I'm gonna say right now in the optimistic spirt of Barney from How I Met Your mother...

It's going to be LEGENDARY!
