Rivers Cuomo Loved His Dungeon Master's Guide

Coming out of my car today, it finally came to me that I am a geek.  I had just come home from work and I was sitting in my car putting all of my textbooks on my lap.  

The car moved two inches from the weight.

Trying to be as nonchalant as possible, I open my car and try to walk with 7 books up the driveway and eventually to the front door (haven).  However, things did not go over as smoothly as I intended.  Textbooks lay scattered on the asphalt, notecards everywhere, and my keys still on my seat.  I leave these items where they are and decide to head to the house.

It is at this point I couldn't get any geekier.

My first thoughts are of concern.  Will my books get wet?  What will I do if they are ruined?  How will I study?  Will I need to cover my textbooks again?

But it isn't just in these moments I can be considered a dork.  Every moment is the geekiest moment of my life.  This moment is the geekiest in my life.  Just think about these small facts about me:
1.  I think more about music than I think about girls.
2.  My room is littered with neon notecards (racy, huh?)
3.  My net attendance of parties in 2007 was 4.  3 of them family related.
4.  My DVD collection is (but not limited) to: the Star Wars trilogy, the Back to the Future trilogy, the entire series of FRIENDS on DVD, and Monty Python.
5.  The last thing I searched on Wikipedia was Catherine II of Russia.

However pathetic or lame this may be, I prefer the nerd lifestyle over the cool lifestyle.  Life has more substance this way.  After all, Rivers Cuomo loved his Dungeon Master's guide, but that didn't stop him from being one of the most badass rockers ever.

My name is...

After much thought, I have decided this is the best rap song ever.  Yes, the best.

Things You Should Know About My Job:

  1. I am indifferent to any aspect of the automotive industry.  What size tires?  I DGAF.
  2. Incorporating point 1, I am both unaware and unwilling to learn anything about my job.
  3. My coworker is a Douchebag.  Elaborate?  Please don't get me started.
  4. Yes, we do close at 4 on Sundays.
  5. Yes, things cost extra with bigger rims.  Don't yell at me.  You chose to buy that gas guzzler you jackoff.  
  6. Yes, anything under 25 dollars cannot be paid with a credit card.  This isn't new information.  That has been posted on the wall for 20 years.
  7. If I worked anywhere else, I would definitely have been fired.
  8. The majority of the people I work with only speak spanish.  "Puedes hacer un rotacion para este coche?"
  9. To kill the hours, I go facebooking.  Sure, there isn't much to do but I do read the wall-to-walls of many people.  
  10. No, I do not know the score of The Game.  I never know the score.  I am working.  Or facebooking.
  11. I surf the web and talk to costumers at the same time.  That is productivity.
  12. I am actually an OK salesman.  This is because of my indifference.  I don't care about scoring a deal, so I just tell it like it is.
  13. As soon as I go to college, I am out.

Finals

It's funny how some things in our life are inevitable.  And despite how much we strive to deceive ourselves, we end up back at Point A.  I don't procrastinate because I am too lazy to do things.  I procrastinate as a way to search for a loophole to get out of the tasks that absorb any energy dedicated to my actual thoughts.  A deficiency in knowledge makes you ignorant.  But an overflow of knowledge overwhelms you from using it in any form of application.  Going back to the point, I need to stop kidding myself.  And perhaps that is why I am so zealous about Greek tragedies.  They keep me in the reality that you can never test the stars.

Return

I'm not ready to go back.
