Periodic Table of Awesoments

When I was in high school, I memorized the periodic table of elements (here goes, without looking it up: hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon. Don’t ask me why. I also have a place in my brain where practically every lyric from the 80’s lives. So many mysteries…)

Why has it taken me so long to learn that the universe is actually made from awesoments? And it is, you know. Your particular mileage may vary, but there’s no denying that the universe is a magnificent, wacky, ecstatic, terrifying and ultimately heart-stopping place to live. The more it’s made of awesoments, the better for all of us.

Don’t miss the comments, they are easily half the fun.

Enjoy.
