Ramblings of friends... or how I loosened up and learned to live!

Clint Colbert... One strange trip after another....

I wish I could say I wrote this, but I can say the
Creed of the Geeks

author(simply known
as The Real Jackbunny) said to pass it along. So I
will.

I am the one that fixes your computer. I am the one hangs out at the bookstore everday. I am the one who goes to the Star Trek convention with
spock ears super glued to my head. I am the one who knows all the words to the lumberjack song. I know what 42 is. I am Geek... and this is my
creed.

My only limitations in life, are those of my hard
drive. I will strive to make the world a better place for newbies everywhere. Being 1337 may
not be everything but it will get me far.

The answer to all of life's problems may be found in the Meaning of Life. The answer to all religious problems may be found in the Life of Brian. The answer to all of the universe's problems may be found in the works of Douglas Adams.

I know that a book can be my best friend. I know the matrix has me. My enemy is the blue screen. My dungeon is my domain, traverse it wisely
and with respect. Hobbits are like geeks; they are not to be underestimated.

Look behind you it's a three headed monkey.

Sleep is for the dead, until then, caffeine. My code is my mantra. When in doubt, recompile. My comics are the pillars of my life. My synthesizer can do anything. Walk softly and carry a large crowbar.

Dating is overrated, but I'd like to try it someday.
Linux is my stability. Linux geeks are really nerds in disguise. Without my RAM my CPU is for naught. The words "macintosh" and "smash" come sequentially. Base ten is obsolete.

Knowledge is best passed in usenet. Flaming is a last resort. Trolls are to be delt with swiftly. Microsoft is the real Big Brother. You cannot say the word "party" without preceding it with "LAN".

I will always be here. I will not go away. I will
forever lurk your libraries. I will forever run your networks. I will forever be beside you snorting over a webcomic in the computer lab. I will
always be gaming, learning, collecting,calculating, coding, and
plotting world domination nearby.

I am proud to be a Geek.

Signed,

Geeks Everywhere

Road Trip from Kansas City...

I drove from Kansas City to Phoenix in 2 days all by myself across some of the most boring highways in america. I started out leaving Kansas City at about 11:00in the morning. Driving down I-35 I heard AC/DC come on the radio... Ah yes, just the song I was hoping for... Highway to Hell...

An odd thought comes into my mind. WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING???

This is the thought that crosses my mind the most... 3 hours out. Wichita Kansas. 6 hours out my muffler falls off in the middle of nowhere. 9-10 hours out in Dalhart Texas. No radio stations worth a damn for about 6 hours... A cop looks at me with an odd look on his face.

The scene from Deliverance runs through my mind and I never want to return to Texas. I make it to Tucumcary New Mexico and fall asleep in the front seat of my car in a Wal-Mart Parking lot surrounded by RVs and Big Rigs.

4 or 5 hours later I wake up and think yet again "WHAT THE FUCK??"

At least I am getting on the Interstate now...

The last leg was highway 56 through nothing

So, the sun comes up, I get a soda and I'm off down I-40 all the way to Flagstaff. Wow... Albequerqe has pretty bridges... all purple and red...

I get to Flagstaff and my trip pics up.

I call Brandi and ask her what she is doing that night. Nothing she tells me. She is glad I called nad wants to talk. I tell her that I will talk to her at 5 when she gets off work. I look at my clock. It is 1 pm. I am at McDonalds. Best food I have had in 2 days.

I jump back in the car and start off down I-17 to Phoenix.

I make it to about the Verde Valley and all the soda I have had catches up. While I am in the bathroom, I notice something odd about the white undershirt I am wearing.

It is now brown.

Except the white stripe going from my left sholder to the right side of my stomach. Right about where the seatbelt is.

So I change my shirt, think once again "WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?" and take off to Phoenix.

By the time I get to Popular where Brandi worked, I was so out of my mind that I could have been in Wyoming... The only thing I knew was that I needed more soda, another cigarette and a good night's sleep.

Once I had the soda, smoked another cigarette and left with Brandi, everything was better.
