Cubed

Putting your entire life in a handful of boxes is a very cleansing and thought-inducing process. The first thing that comes to just about everyone’s mind, is the fact that a 2 dollar cardboard box is containing everything that I hold near and dear to myself. The other thing that pops into my head is: if the truck goes bursting into flames, I would miss about a tenth of the crap that I have spent most of my life amassing.

I have a handful of days left in my first house and soon it will be someone else’s first house. The next joint for my small family will include a basement. While it is still not a Batcave, it is a start.

10 Years

The dreaded 10-year high school reunion is coming up in a few months and many people are already posting to the world their post high school achievements. Many people are putting up “humorous” posts and unfortunately I am seeing a trend. It seems that making jokes about being gay or working at lower end jobs are still the norm.

I guess the only thing that has changed is that Wal-Mart has substituted McDonald’s as the new bottom feeder career. I gave a pretty vague laundry list, since I will not be attending this event.

My biggest fear is that I would not recognize most of the people and my bad memory will make me look like an ass-clown. There are many other reasons why I can make myself look like an ass-clown and my memory should be my last concern.

My guess is that everyone is pretty similar to how they were when the final bell rang a decade ago. I do not see how an uncomfortable setting with access to alcohol can ever be a good idea. Go Wolves!

Winding Down

The day is done and so are the Heat in game 1 of the NBA Finals. The one thing that stands out the most is how a sorry franchise like the Mavericks have been turned around so quickly and the guy that did it, has to be one of the biggest geeks of all time. Not just a geek but a very lucky and bright one at that. This is a guy who should not be allowed in public most of the time, but he manages to sneak past the fellas in the white jackets most of the time.

My road to geek-dom started at an early age. In fact I am looking at a fourth grade class picture, and things did not look to good back then. In fact most of the kids were not looking to good back then. My favorite is the girl that is kneeling next to me, she is wearing a Corona shirt for picture day.

It is not surprising that she became the “easy girl” because she “went out” with anyone. Mind you, when you were “going out” with someone at that age, it really meant that you paid no attention to that person even more than you did before. Of course the party girl is going to be the slut, hey she even went out with me. She had very low standards.

Opening Statement

I am a white guy that lives in suburbia with a lovely wife and a 3-month old baby daughter. Music and video games are my vices and I currently work from home. Not too exciting, but I will bore everyone with the details in a very irregular manner.

I promise to be self-indulgent and focus on a small number of topics. There will be no amazing revelations of the human soul and no major societal break-thrus will be discovered.

I am a 28 Year-Old Geek.
