1. Think Awesome Things
Every day, you should be thinking about stuff that's awesome. This could be as simple as imagining what it would be like to fight a giant robot with a fish, or what would happen if Former Bears' Coach Mike Ditka wrestled an Aligator. Awesome thoughts will keep you open to any pure awesomeness that ACTUALLY happens around you.

2. (Ironically) Don't Drink Alcohol
Okay, so that isn't a requirement, but remember that Glenn Danzig and Mark Trail don't drink -- and they're both pretty awesome. Sure, one is fictional, but the other is Glenn Danzig. He counts for like, six people. Seriously, have you seen his book collection?

3. Be awesome to squirrels!
Being awesome to squirrels is easy: Don't hit them with your car. It's also good advice because they're less likely to maul you to death when the great squirrel rebellion comes.

4. Don't be afraid to look stupid.
I recommend dancing around like an idiot whenever possible. Why? Truly awesome people have no shame, so there's no good reason not to dance around like an idiot.

5. Don't conscript people into your "memes."
I'm going to an Anime convention, and I will likely be surrounded by people doing things that they got off the internet and think are therefore cool. Now, number 4 says this is just fine. Go ahead, dance like an idiot! That can be awesome! But when your meme involves interrupting other people's fun or telling them they HAVE to participate? That is the antithesis of awesome.

6. Be Trae.
This is what helps at being the most awesome of all. I mean, seriously, being me helps you be about 1000% more awesome than you could possibly know!
