Fearful Phobias

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin December 10, 2008 @ 12:04 am

Happy holidays everyone! I hope you remember the reason for the season…money. On a completely unrelated note I have finally to caved in and decided to use one of Coach’s topic ideas(which by the way, have been pretty pitiful)

Lets talk about fears. Everybody has them. Some are rational, like fear of clowns, and other are completely illogical, like fear of foreigners. Like most people I am afraid of spiders. I’m okay with them when they stick to the woods and countryside, but when they come into my fortress of solitude I simply cannot take it. They way they can stealth around unnoticed is more frightful than any clown. Did you know the average person swallows enough spiders in their sleep to fill 37 olympic sized swimming pools? That my friend is the epitome of terror. Heck, spiders are just creepy to look at(what creature needs that many eyes?).

Happy Nightmares!

Good to Be Back

Let me ask you something. Why are you reading this? What kind of mind numbing boredom could drive you to a teenager’s blog, especially mine? Since you’ve already made the mistake of journeying here, I suppose I have to entertain you.

The argument between geeks and nerds has been done to death by the other HTVer’s, but I’m going to see if I can dig it up and find a pulse.

The New Oxford Dictionary defines geeks and nerds as follows…

geek |gēk|
noun informal
an unfashionable or socially inept person.

nerd |nərd|
noun informal
a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious

That’s strange isn’t it? Neither definition says anything about comic books, computers, or pocket protectors. Maybe all these years we’ve been using the wrong words to define these people. I guess I’ll have to make a new one. How about Gerd, or Neek? No good huh, well that’s all I’ve got.

Maybe the difference between geeks and nerds is a question that will never be answered, like what’s in a lava lamp or why people rebuild hurricane destroyed homes in the exact same spot. This is just one kid’s thoughts. Don’t like ‘em? Too bad.
