I always feel so cool when I see someone quote from a book I've read.
<---(I can use smilies too). And I as well must add onto my reading list.
I think everyone's done enough of a job complimenting Kressly on actually taking time to think during summer vacation (really, who does that?), so I won't bother.
I was surprised to find that when I clicked "cntrl f -- gracious professionalism" firefox did not find it once in Kress's speech! Which means
I get to rant about it for a second!
While FIRST is just a method of channeling this "favorable energy," as somewhat of a noob I must say it seems to do a $@#$@#$@#$@# good job. Every competition I feel like I walked into some new world (comparable only to traveling through Dr. Seuss land at Universal Studios in Florida). My own Dawgma members astound me, helping new teams and ultimately gaining the philly g.p. award! I'm not all into that feng shui (my mom is--she periodically rearranges things to face odd directions), but I do believe that a little bit of g.p. can cause a reaction similar to that of a neutron and uranium (not in the blow-up-everything way, but the lots-of-energy-from-a-little-bit-of-matter way. I'm so good at analogies). In short: we rock.
Well, I believe that well-organized and coherent rant sums it up for me.
Thanks for being awesome Kressly.
