So...GEEK? Yeah. Geek.

So, you're embarrassed to be a TF fan, yet here you are?

I wear designer clothes, for the style I would not buy something becuase it had transformers on it, I buy clothes that look good, transformers shouldn't step into a part of your life which it has no place in beeing.
So...what point are you trying to make here? Pharell Williams is hard core Voltron fan. You gonna step up to him and tell him his geekiness is wrong? The man's into fashion, he's a professional and he admits to being a Voltron fan. It was even going to be a part of his career. He was going to score the film that never made it to the big screen. That's good money, that's a pro being a pro, while being a geek. So...what point are you trying to make?
DTR69 wrote:Certain geeks watch anything with robots in, or that is scy fy, I only like transformers, I do so for the looks, so I do have some gundam etc, but if it doesn't meet a certain standard it ends there.
A very judgmental pot calling the kettle black.

Mixing the 2 means, an inferior mp3 player and an inferior figure. So the explanation is tricky as geeks are stereotyped as being clever, but being clever is form follows function, and being clever is getting something that is the best it can be, If you saw someone wearing a star trek t-shirt, you may think geek, I personaly would think, that is a poor quality t-shirt and has spent the extra money as it has something which has nothing to do with clothes printed on it, so thats not smart, it's jus an example as they might not care about clothes and the design might be kool. SO a soundwave figure that plays mp3s is a poor figure as it has to compensate a cheap component that can't play music wel, so thats not smart.
Wow. That's one of the most...just wow. I want to say something here, but I can't find the words because I think my brain just broke.
DTR69 wrote:It's all abou stereo types, and the true meaning of the word, how many boxes do you have to tick for you to be considered to belong to one type of people, but the what happens if you tick boxes not only in other group types but in groups that are considered the total oppositte, I know I do. And in todays world things are changing, especialy as technology is becoming more useful and more important to everyone, so isn't everyone a geek now. Geeks were considered the brains, but it's so obvious thats not the case anymore, and people who try hard not to be geeks don't realise that actually makes them a geek.
Are you listening to yourself ramble? I mean seriously. I know you're trying to make a point here, but damn. I could give you a map, a light, and a GPS, and you still couldn't find it. I know I damn sure can't!

People who smoke weed and buy t-shirts with ganja leave son are geeks, Gangsters who read all the gangster books and say something profound before they kill someone are geeks. I love computers but I use it for something, I'm a geek in that respect, but then there's people who work in computer shops or I.T and they have loads of computers and know alt about them, but really have no use for a powrful machine becuase they don't actually use them for what they are ment for.
Passion with no reason? This was a post with no reason. It was just a bunch of words slamming around in your head and you just had to get them out. Unfortunately, we're all worse off for it. Not only that, but it was offensive. If you're embarrassed about being a geek, there's the door. The rest of us will wear the label with a smile and enjoy our lives. If you ever decide to give that a try, we'll be here, but until you come to terms with being a geek, you're wasting our time here. That includes your time as well.
"I'm not a geek. Well, not that kind of geek." Please, save it.
