Mcfly

I'm a nerd.








And that fact should probably bother me, yet it does not. I'm almost 30, my wife is wayyyyyyy too hot to be married to me, my friends are slightly hipper than me and still hang out with me, so I have nobody left to impress. Plus, I don't have the energy to fake it. So, how did I come to the conclusion that I'm a nerd? I'm usually asleep by 9:30pm, and up at 5am - and I like it that way.The majority of my TV exposure revolves around mass consumptions of the History Channel,Discovery, National Geographic Channel and PBS. I recently got satellite radio thanks to my super in-laws, and I picked Sirius over XM because of the NPR selections. I'm only scraping the surface of my dorkery. What's the point? There is a show showcased on NPR called"This I Believe" If you haven't gotten down on this, you need to.


I was listening to some archives this morning, and I started to think, other than my theological convictions that are intertwined within my life, what do I believe?

1.) I believe that skinny jeans are the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I don't care who you are and/or how you are built, everyone looks like Danny Divito playing the Penguin in Batman

2.) Congress needs to pass a law banning any more reality television. Sweet Lord of Hosts, NO MORE!!!!!

3.) There needs to be a 60 day waiting period on:

a.) Naming your child. Before the name becomes valid, it has to be put before a panel of 3rd grade boys, they will tell you the truth, and the truth is "Ruger" is not a good name for a boy and naming your daughter "Baby" will insure that her career involves dancing on or around a pole.

b.) Tattoos. Do you really need the Chinese symbol for respect on your lower back? How about Irony? Do they offer that? Maybe in Sanskrit?

I'll Stop before I offend anyone else.

I'm with ya!! Some of the names these days like Lando - good grief!! I mean . . good choice?

Skinny jeans should be banned, as should speedos!!!!

And reality TV is I think at the saturation point, so hopefully it's downhill from here - or is that just what I'm praying for - who knows.
