<p>Yeah, you know it and they know it: when you&#8217;re surrounded by fresh food in all directions you suddenly start jonesing for a fix. So you press your hands on the curved glass and gaze longingly at the giant hunks of <strong>pink and salty </strong>goodness shining at you from under the bright lights.</p>
<p>Then you know what you gotta do: make your order, <strong>reach your hands out</strong>, and get ready for those thinly shaved slices of salami to touch your tongue and send you on a trip far, far away.</p>
<p>AWESOME!</p>

Soon clouds part and the <strong>sun glimmers </strong>off the distant ocean waves as strangers stop walking their dogs, kids peek over from the ball diamond, and <a href="http://1000awesomethings.com/2009/01/20/848-old-folks-who-sit-on-their-porch-and-wave-at-you-when-you-walk-by/" target="_self">old folks</a> hold hands and smile as you whip up masterpiece after masterpiece. Images pop up as they ooh and ahh &#8212; it&#8217;s a happy face, a heart, a house with smoke coming out the chimney, or a love letter waiting for the next person to have a shower.</p>

You know how your crinkly leg hairs all get a chance to relax, <strong>stretch out</strong>, and breathe a sigh of relief?</p>
<p>Well, taking out your ponytail is like that times a million.</p>
<p>All your hair unbends and finally points the other direction. Shivers shake down your spine as you bend your neck and shake your hair out. Yes, all the pressure just melts away and it feels like an <strong>instant scalp massage</strong>. Plus, if you tied your shaggy mane up when <strong>it was wet </strong>then it&#8217;s even better because somehow everything was twisted even tighter up in there.</p>
<p>Taking your ponytail out is the <strong>getting comfy</strong> equivalent of putting on your PJs, taking your bra off at the end of the day, or twisting around all your sheets and blankets in the middle of the night till you get &#8217;em <em>jusssssssssst </em>right.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If your bad back, <strong>busted ankle</strong>, or bum knee is keeping you off the courts, then get ready to lean back in your desk chair and reminisce about the game you loved&#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just crumple that <strong>hot inky sheet </strong>yanked from the photocopier&#8217;s <a href="http://1000awesomethings.com/2009/04/28/778-when-someone-unjams-the-photocopier-for-you/" target="_self">paper-jammed bowels</a>, swivel your desk chair sideways, and shoot a majestic three-pointer into the metal garbage bin. And don&#8217;t worry &#8212; if you&#8217;re inside the line, just go with a hook shot, buzzer beater, or big swooping alley-oop over to the <strong>glass fire extinguisher case </strong>hanging on the wall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two points!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, before you start firing, it&#8217;s important to really make sure you&#8217;ve got a size and weight that works. Crumpled printer paper and waxy, balled-up <strong>hamburger wraps </strong>are great. Flimsy granola bar wrappers and chewed up gum generally is not. If you try tossing those things you could find yourself missing the hoop and then casually glancing around to see who saw before <strong>sheepishly sharp-elbowing </strong>you way to the basket so you can scoop your own dirty rebound.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No, the key to pulling it off is simple: Grab a ball that flies, <strong>aim your hands to the sky</strong>, and fire that garbage into the trash can nearby.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AWESOME! </p>

<p>Making those first fresh footprints in the snow is a great feeling. You&#8217;re an explorer blazing a new trail, a skier hitting the slopes early, or just a <strong>suburban hiker</strong> carving a new path home.</p>
<p>AWESOME!</p>
