Hello Nerds!
It’s gneiss to see you again!
I think every week will
basically follow the Tuesday, Sunday blog posting until Marching Band stops,
and I’ll have my Saturdays to myself again (Yay!)
Today I have an idea of
what I want to talk about, though it might end up being multiple small strands
of information, again I apologize because Saturdays!
Nerds, in my opinion bring people together more than tear
them apart; they create social groups wherever they are, whether they inhabit
schools, villages, cities, shacks, and neighborhoods. Nerds (especially kids)
since the invention of the baseball-card, you always see in movies around
twenty to thirty years ago, kids finding and trading baseball cards. This was
the birth of the social interaction which many nerds are experts at today. This
as you know, is not linked only to baseball-cards, but Magic the Gathering
Cards, Pokémon Cards, and many more ‘Cards’. There are nerd groups in
everything, not just comics, movies and the sort, there are also Art nerds,
making elaborate origami, sculptures from toothbrushes, dresses from Kool-Aid
packets, and everything else from A to Z. Nerds of Science go and do little experiments,
although I won’t give examples because odds are you have at one point in your
life watched “The Big Bang Theory”, liked or not. Women and occasionally men
would start book clubs, where they, the nerds of literature, read and analyze books;
the list goes on and on.
My point of all of this is that Nerds build a natural
habitat by seeking out others to live around, and occasionally find a mate
(hopefully) in which to spawn the next generation of Nerds. We seek out others
to converse with, and grow with, and sometimes we stumble upon a new lump of
clay to mold, to shape in our image, expanding the possibilities of the future
of the Nerd race. I remember my mentor; he showed me many things, and I
eventually wanted to impress him, so I started going on my own on a quest for
knowledge, a never ending search for how to improve my Nerdiness. Therefor I challenge
you: Look out in the world today and see how many different types you can see,
they are usually sitting together, in a game together, or conversing together,
whatever, just look and see if you can find more than what meets the eye, and I’d
bet you’ll be pretty amazed.
