I feel like giving tonight....

[Dissectional]

In regards to my post about 'us' being computer geeks....here is a little about me.

I will be 32 in March.
I chew, drink, play softball and lift weights.
My softball team took second in the state championship last year. I bench 305 pounds. I build models, collect toys, and watch anime. I enjoy books by Carl Hiaasen and movies by Troma. I listen to TOOL, Mudvayne, and Alice in Chains, and any other metal bad that kicks ass! I have both ears pierced. I am 6'2" and weigh in at 210. I kick box and also am known to play console games for 6 hours straight. I have turned my hobby into a job. I am the network administrator for MC Sporting Goods, a retail sporting goods chain in the midwest. I am recently divorced, and actually have a baby on the way. In essence, I am a geek. In reality, I am a mean SOB, that likes to play UT2003 (and some SSSE) along with any game that catches my fancy. I have two tattoos also.

So, if anyone was offended by what I wrote, I am sorry. I like this place, and I like to post. I like the majority of people that post here.
Again, if I call anyone a geek, I feel that is my right, and opinion, because if anyone is a geek around here, it is for certain, that it is me.

=DOA|MH= Dissectional, resident geek.

I thought it was funny....I havent been called a mutant before, lol. I wasnt offended though.....
I never had any self-esteem in the first place, so nothing really affects me, lol.

It's no big deal man. Like I said, I like a lot of the guys around here, and I want to make sure that I am not making any bad vibes.
And I have nothing to hide, you know? Plus, the SuperBowl is getting boring, Tampa is kicking too much ass. :thumbs:

dont worry Diss, Im sure no one was offended. My post was meant to be funny, i didnt mean to say that your post offended me. I could care less what a person feels about me over the interent. You cant really judge someone merely by a picture *yep, you guessed it, Im one of those sappy peeps who believes in "beauty is in the inside, not the outside" crap"* :lol:

[Pure_Evil]

That's my main man Diss telling it like it is! I'd follow suit, but I already know that nobody cares! :jammin:


As for, =DOA|MH= Dissectional, resident geek....That's resident freek! J/K my friend.

One thing I'll say for Diss is he's a stand up guy! :cool:

I thought your post was more self-effacing than offensive in any way to anyone, and the term 'geeks' isn't pejorative as you used it, as I saw it. I'm proud to be a geek, and was a high school and college (intramural) wrestler, enjoyed Vonnegut and Twain as my favorite writers, coach baseball, for 'normal' and disabled kids; my wife and I run a league for disabled children. I love music, especially live music.

I'm sure Dis meant nothing ill to anyone; let's let him off with a crucifixion - first offense. :bandhead: :rofl:

I think Vonnegut is great..Breakfast of Champions, Blue Beard, Slaughterhouse 5. I did a report on him in contemporary american literature.
I loved it.

Thanks for the post DD. And the baseball for the disabled kids, great stuff. I had the pleasure of being a ref for the special olympics basketball tourney here in GR. One of the most fulfilling things I have ever done, and plan on doing it again this year.

Your geeky apology is geekily accepted. I myself have been transformed from an Operations Supervisor into a gaming geek, and I love it!

[Sepra]

I am a geek too. I realized this for the first time when I thought a "night on the town" was getting together with a bunch of my friends...........on the computer. :huh:
