!The International Day of Awesomeness
March 10th, Every Year!
No one's perfect, but everyone can be awesome.
This is really interesting! I was going through events on facebook and suddenly came across this day!
And I was likeDOES THIS DAY REALLY EXIST?
So, I Googled it.. and found information about it..
The first question that crossed my mind is:
What exactly is The International Day of Awesomeness?
The International Day of Awesomeness is a celebration of awesomeness. People are awesome every day, frequently don't realize it, and their feats of awesomeness are rarely recognized. We aim to fix that, with a special day to both perform and celebrate feats of awesomeness!
How Can I Celebrate The International Day of Awesomeness?
The easiest way to celebrate The International Day of Awesomeness is to be awesome. You could organize a group of your friends to perform feats of awesomness with. You could write a blog entry about someone you think epitomizes the ideals of awesomeness. As we get closer to the day, we'll have more concrete tips for things you can do to celebrate this very important (but fun, fun, fun - we can't stress that enough - The International Day of Awesomeness should be fun and not taken too seriously).
Where Did they Come Up With The International Day of Awesomeness?
This is mostly the fault of Kevin Lawver. At work, on August 6th, 2007, one of his interns (Freddie Maneiro) suggested that they have a celebration of his awesomeness (it's been a running joke on this project). This cracked him up, and he said there should be an International Day of Awesomeness, and said that he'd post it to twitter, which he did. That started a very funny, very un-serious conversation among his friends about just what that holiday would entail. And well, here we are.
The International Day of Awesomness occurs every year on March 10th. Why? Because that's Chuck Norris' birthday. No offense to Mr. Norris, but this isn't really a salute to Chuck Norris, the man. This is a tribute to the awesomeness of the the myth of Chuck Norris (see the Wikipedia entry). The International Day of Awesomeness is also strongly inspired by The Show with Ze Frank. Ze's year-long internship in the League of Awesomeness is something special, and if you didn't experience while it was going on, you should go back and watch the shows. Ze and his audience frequently performed feats of awesomeness, which could be used as inspiration for your own feats.
Dan Lurie came up with the original tag line ("Because everyone needs an excuse to be awesome"), and Kevin Lawver's son, Max, came up with the new one. A bunch of people endorsed the date. Kevin Lawver is open to suggestions for where we take this next. This is a single page and only took about an hour to build. The domain name only took about five minutes to register. What he's done so far is not awesome, but he thinks this day could be extremely awesome.
So, there you have it: The International Day of Awesomeness. How will you be awesome? What feats of awesomeness will you perform?
