Fly home, little birdie!

This is just some of the funny I have plucked from the interwebs. Like an injured baby birdie I nursed back to health*, I now send them back out into the wild.

*I've never nursed a baby birdie back to health. I have shot a few with a bb gun though. It was a long time ago, so PETA can't come after me anymore.

I think I will now do a meme post in the near future. Philosoraptor inspired me.

One More Thing...

I've decided I am definitely too busy and too tired to accomplish my NaNoWriMo goal. I guess there's always next year. I should have known better than to get all ambitious and life-changey. Lesson learned.

I'm not depressed, so if that last paragraph led you to think that, then I'm sorry. And here's a little song to cheer you up, unless you're not a geek, in which case it will probably depress you:

I spent the last few evenings building shelves for my wife. Technically, I guess, they're for my in-laws. Sure glad that is over though. Usually I really like building things, but at this point in my life, anything above what I absolutely have to do is daunting. Like writing somewhat regularly, for example.

Geek on Geek Analysis

geek  (ɡiːk)
— n
1.	a person who is preoccupied with or very knowledgeable about computing
2.	a boring and unattractive social misfit
3.	a degenerate

4. (I added this one) Someone who likes something.

The word 'geek' has evolved somewhat to include more than just those of us that love computers and technology. There are now various sects of geek-dom, such as sports geeks, various movies geeks, and fashion geeks.

Now, some of these geeks prefer to use other names, like 'fashionista' or 'couch potato'. In fact, sports geeks in particular get pretty mad when you refer to them as such. But let's keep it real here. 

Geeks is what they is.

I am an old school geek. I love computers and Star Wars. The two originators of geek-dom. I guess we can throw Star Trek in there as an originator as well. But then all these other non-geeks saw our enjoyment of our geekiness and adopted it into their own interests.

Geeks, historically, have shared at least a common understanding of the overall premise of geek-dom. While we may not like the same thing, we still understood each other. And any rivalry (like with those stupid trekkies) was mostly in good fun.

However, there is quite a bit of real ire between some geek factions today. For example, PC/Droid geeks and Apple geeks. Or Sports geeks and any other geek. It's sad, really, that that basic understanding of one another is gone in some circles.

Really, I have no point to this post. I just wanted to post the pic and video.

So, what are your opinions on geeks? What kind of geek are you? What kind of geek do you hate? Do my rambling posts bother you?
