Monday night I went to a book reading by a famous author. I know, I know, I’m a nerd to attend book readings for entertainment, but hey, knowledge is effin’ power! The reading material was mainly catered for the more mature audience, but the author noted he sometimes find teenagers lurking among his listeners. The writer himself is very humble and modest about his musings, so he didn’t understand why groups of people would actually be excited and willing to endure the “pain” of listening to him read passages describing his life, and he especially didn’t understand why a teen would endure the torture at all.

Anywhoo, after several readings, he decided to give out consolation prizes for his young readers, but he was at a loss for exactly what to give out. He wanted to get something light so that he could transport it during his travels, but something that would be beneficial to the receiver as well. At first he thought maybe painkillers to relieve their “pain”, but no, that wouldn’t do justice. Then, as he was walking through Costco, he spotted them…CONDOMS! Not just any condoms, but condoms in BULK! So he bought several boxes of them in bulk, handing them out to his young fans during his book tours.

I think he stole my heart when he described his need to give, but most importantly, his need to go and spread the wealth of condoms. That is definitely what I call “Rockin’ the Awareness.”

What are you passionate about and feel you need to “rock the awareness”? What have you done to spread the awareness?

Peace and love, Burnette
