Nerdiness and Post 200
Well time for another post. This time its not about women (honestly I think I write too much about them) but regardless I know one reader still somewhat enjoys the posts not about women or my crazy anime ideas. But lets get started shall we? I suppose one of the things that sets me apart from most people is a few things. I study a lot, watch unhealthy amounts of anime and have a bunch of anime related stuff and play video games. These things are basically pretty nerdy in terms of what most people would consider normal. Then again we all have our different opinions on what constitutes nerdy. Some have comic books, I have my anime, being absorbed in internet memes and being into video games the casual gamer hasn't heard of (Blazblue anyone?). Being into anime and video games is a part of me. I guess you can say that this post comes again from a talk I had with my roommate. He told me I won't get girls with anime or that I dress kind of shabby (I like the way I dress, its comfortable to me and at least I'm not running around naked).
I think thats the problem with the world. America being the pompous privileged kid in the world, it's citizens somewhat look down upon the strange and the eccentric. We live in a country where you can be a atheist or neo-nazi and society says you can be that just don't cause trouble. But for people to think nerdy people like me are shouldn't exist. I've heard many things like "don't conform, be unique" (I see it every time at my dentist's office everytime I get my teeth cleaned). For instance, I know I don't dress very fashionably sometimes. I have anime shirts and shirts that my mom buys me from department stores. So it seems like I dress pretty shabby. It was also something that my roommate asked me, he basically said I dress too simple. I replied I like the way I dress, its comfortable and he still stood by his argument. Well it was a short argument but basically he said "sometimes you gotta blend in". That was the problem blending into society. I wanted to give the earlier example of why do that when we have neo-nazis in the U.S. but there was no time for that. There was another person who I admired the first ninja of Long Beach. He basically lived off free stuff, food on campus and free t-shirt opportunities. So he wore the shirts he got from campus every so often, I respect that he didn't wear the shirts because they looked good or not it was a shirt and probably a comfortable one. So sure I don't dress like a model, I want people to know that I wear whats comfortable and what anime I enjoy watching.
Now as for anime and gaming. Yes I admit sometimes it can get unhealthy but I balance it all out. Sure I might not get girls with anime and when they ask me what I do in my free time they laugh and say "okay". But then again I do talk to some girls that watch anime (they're the coolest people in the world even though some of the stuff they watch is mainstream or I haven't seen it). As for gaming I play a lot of Super Smash Bros. Brawl with my roommates and I am always shouting "how does that get priority" or "projectile spam". I'm sure only one of them understand what I'm saying but it just shows how much gaming I've done. I think my nerdiness is a pretty interesting aspect of me. It makes me unique in a world of people who are cut from the same cookie cutter. I'm much like the cookie that doesn't end up in a circle. I like who I am, thats what we should all strive to do. I'm not saying the cliche "I LOVE MYSELF", I'm just saying we should strive to change the things that can be changed about ourselves, but at the same time don't change the things that define you. I suppose you can apply this same logic to the atheists and neo-nazis mentioned above but hey thats a product of a free thought society. So be nerdy or whatever and don't let what people say change you. If you do that then who would you be?
Also 200th post YAY!! Blows novelty party blower and throws confetti. Thank you to my loyal readers and heres to future good posts on women, life and anime ideas and characters.
