<editorsnote>Hi, I'm Jen Friel, and we here at TNTML examine the lives of nerds outside of the basements and into the social media, and dating world. We have over 75 peeps that write about their life in real time. (Real nerds, real time, real deal.) Sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the stories!!</editorsnote>
Nerd: The state of being hot, cool, sexy, and techie. You can't try to be a nerd, you just are a nerd. To be a nerd is to just be ... and that's AWESOME!
Want to change the world? Start with changing yourself. #JustSayin
Today's Weird Al Says: WTF kinda got me thinking (check it out here if you haven't read it yet, it's okay, I'll wait ... *twiddles thumbs*)... "the Average Human ..." WTF is the average human like?! Have you ever met the Average Human?!
AHHH!! Facebook!! Facebook people search!!! This Average Human person has to be on there ...
*zoinks* nothing there either ... alrite alrite, I hope you get at what I'm trying to say here ...
THERE. IS. NO. SUCH. THING. AS. AVERAGE. You're not average - you're EXTRAORDINARY!!! There is no such thing as an average anything! We are all unique in our own uniqueness and extraordinary beyond comprehension. So go ... be unapologetically awesome ... quit trying to be average. Apparently all it does for you is put 8 spiders in your stomach. Ecckkk!!
When I was 13, we went on a family vacation to Vegas. (That was pre the "What Happens in Vegas" marketing campaign, when they tried making Vegas family friendly. Marketing #FAIL) ... and wouldn't you know, Ray Charles walked into the elevator my brother and I were in!!!!!!
The four of us (Ray had a guy assisting him ...) rode the elevator for what felt like the longest 5 seconds of my life. My brother and I were frantically trying to place this iconic human being, but we kept falling short of his name. I piped up and said simply OMG - el senor Charles the consummate gentleman turned his head in a counterclockwise motion and said "How ya doin?!"
He proceeded to get off on the 3rd floor ... and my brother and I ran screaming into our parents room. We were so ecstatic - we finally figured out who he was!?!?! We shouted out Mom, Dad - we were just in an elevator with "the guy from the Pepsi commercials."
OY!!!! ...Very true, very nerdy story ... HA!!!
Here's to hoping your big Pepsi in the sky is never warm, Mr. Charles!!!
There is one thing we can do, and the happiest people are those who can do it to the limit of their ability. We can be completely present. We can be all here. We can give all our attention to the opportunity before us.
Oh yeah and our founding fathers originally decreed a strict separation between Chuck Norris and state. Chuck Norris eliminated them.
