PANTS!

Yo Readers, Full of holes, falling to bits, dis-coloured yet the most comfortable. I am of course talking about that pare of sweat pants most of us have, that pare of pants we wear when we are all alone. My pare of hidden pants are close to 8 years old and barely resemble pants anymore, with the spider web like tears all up the legs, the paint stains over the knees, frayed hems which my cats chase after when i walk. But i will never get rid of them, they are the most faithful pants i have kn… Continue

History Of Geeks

Yo again Readers, Geek is a term most of us label ourselves by in this community but i hear over and over, what is a geek? Doing a little research i found that the word geek came from a carnival act where a man would bite the heads off live animals, most famously chickens. Throughout the years it developed into an insulting word referring to an outcast from the social popularity. My assumption is that those people often use to be the ones who where academically well inclined and spent more ti… Continue

My Discrimination

Yo Readers, Sigmund Freud, Jesus, ZZ top, what do these men have in common? For as long as i can remember my people have been prosecuted, turned down and oppressed because of our appearance. Turned away from, women hold their bags close to themselves as we walk past, people look at us with fear and disgust. Forced to live life as an outcast when really we all look the same on the inside. Some say we were born this way, others say it is a life choice. I believe I was born to be this way no… Continue

Dont Want To Hear It

Yo again Readers, Nice to see you all again, How about we have a conversation?

Hi Im Rick And Im An OS

Yo Operating systems, This is something that really +!@#$ me off, those people who claim to be an operating system! Ever been in a tech chat room and asked for help with a XP problem only for someone to reply with "buy a mac" as tech support? Please people stop defining yourself as an operating system, for me all it shows is that you give into the consumer mentality of "this is cool so hate the other product" Here are the facts whether you like it or not, Mac and Windows are the same. they… Continue

Be A Blogger

Yo Readers, I recently started blogging and was wondering if anyone had any tips to share. So far this is what i have found i like and dont like about reading others blogs. An interesting topic will keep people reading. Keeping it short so that people dont get bored half way through. Use paragraphs, im not pro at grammar myself but it bugs me when I open a blog and get hit with a wall of text. It makes it feel like work reading it. If your wanting feedback asks questions to your readers, su… Continue

MySpace... Its Coming...

Hello again readers, I regret that I post with dark news. As you may of noticed from my last blog entry I really like this website and the community that comes along with it. but I sense a disturbance in the Geeks. I have a feeling that as Geeks is now it will not stay like this forever, i predict the MySpazzers are coming... The first signs of the end are photos of shirtless guys and girls in bikinis. This will progress into the traditional MySpace photos that people take in their bathroom.… Continue
