The other night I challenged someone to capture all the frames of his flash back so we could see what he saw. I couldn’t wait any longer and it wasn’t as hard as I thought so I went ahead and whipped it up. Below you will find a still from all his life moments. (thanks Anthony for describing them in the comments)

There is a good bit of research involved in their post, and this was my favorite pararaph:

Finally… I feel the need to start a conspiracy theory. So what we know for sure is that the Awesomeness poster is first mentioned in Season 1 Episode 17 (Life Among the Gorillas) of HIMYM. And when it is mentioned Barney motions to either the back left corner of his office behind his desk. We also know that the poster makes it first “on screen” appearance in Season 3 Episode 1 (Wait For It…) (..stop waiting that was the name of the episode, sheesh) and at this time it is behind Barney’s desk to the right of the center of the room. So he just moved his posters around right? Wrong.

Head over and check out the full post for all you could possibly want to know about Barney’s Awesomeness poster.

It was sad they couldn’t make it work, but I’m glad we get to see more single Ted. To show the couple out in style Merrijoy created a video of the couples relationship.

The first is a remake of the HIMYM intro with some updated scenes from this season and the second is a music video. I really like the first one and would love to see the intro get a bit of an update when we get to season 3 (positive thinking), and the second one is good, just not really my style. You can watch both of them below

It’s a Friends like intro that was home made and if you ask me, looks quiet professional. This one, dare I say it, tops the CSI one we saw earlier. Check it out below!

On a side note, I’m sorry for the lack of updates, but my computer died last week and I have been like man with out his legs. I’ve got a new macbook (woot!) today and am hoping to be back in full swing by the end of the week. Here’s a tip, back up your precious info, NOW!

He made a video to show how much he liked the show and plead for CBS to save it. From what I’ve been reading in comments and in emails, there are lots of you out there that love the show and want to see it stay around. What are you doing about it? Make a video, create some fan art, write CBS, make stickers, tell your friends to watch, shave “HIMYM” in your head, but do something and send it in to howimetyourblog.com.

Inspired by Mark, I want you all to write in with what you have been doing to save HIMYM. If you sent them a postcard or a handwritten letter, take a picture of you sending it and send it in. Got a video camera? Make a short video explaining why you love HIMYM. Or better yet, get some friends together and shoot your own scene from HIMYM. I’ll post anything you guys will send me and I’d love to see this site covered in examples of how fans are trying to save the show.

Here is Mark’s Video. And by the way, you can follow Mark’s lead and use the screen caps found on himym.org and the music found on this site for your videos if you’d like.
