Embracing the Inner Nerd

Sometimes I think I am a pretty cool dude.  Sometimes I feel like I could have been like The Fonz, but that was before I learned how to embrace my inner nerd.  Over the past few years I have peaked inside of myself to more of an extent then I ever had.  I think that this is because I am now married to a super hot chick and I don't have to try and impress anyone, she is stuck with me.  I think I finally came out of the "Nerd Closet" today as I made a trip to the comic book store (I am 28 now) and was super excited to buy the new Dark Tower and Stand comic books. 

  

I was a PUMPED!  Usually when I go to the comic book store I try to do it around 3 in the afternoon when every other normal person is at work, but today I went at 2!!  After I had picked up my comics I took them to work with me and read them at my desk, in front of people.  

That Closest was small and lonely and it feels good to be out, to be an open nerd, and to be proud of my lifestyle decision.  Now I can do other things like read my Wheel of Time of Novels in public places, and make comments on Magic the Gathering discussion boards under a name other than KirdApesRule1466.  Most people know that I play video games, but before when I made my trips to the local game store I would always have to ask when the new Madden game was coming out, and then sneak over and look at what RPG's were new that week.  Now I don't care who sees me looking at the new Star Wars action figure monthly price guide.  This is who I am.  This is how I get through this crazy life and now I can do it while everyone knows I am a NERD!!
