BLOG !

A blog….a fucking blog. It’s kind of a funny word yeah? I know what it stands for, but its one of those words that just sounds funny. Kinda like queef.
I’m not sure where this thing is going or what i'm going to write but here goes…

I guess I should start by explaining my tagline. The battle between geek, granola & metalhead.

The Geek – It’s what I do for a living. I keep the users up and going. Can be something as simple as a new keyboard up to a dead system and everything in between. I am one of those crazy people that love helping people. Nothing gives me more pleasure than walking up to a user who’s ready to kill themselves and within a few minutes, (hopefully), I am able to help them and make em smile again.
I am very grateful for the opportunities I have been given. I was a janitor for many years but was given a chance to be a geek and have never looked back. If you told me 10 years ago that I would be in this industry I would have said no way but now I can’t think of many things I’d rather do…well maybe center fielder for the Red Sox but that’s a post for another day.

The Granola – I am a naturist at heart. Tree hugger from WAAAAY back. I have been a member of numerous organizations since I was 16. Reduce-Renew-Reuse!!! For those who don’t know or don’t care, we need trees to live people! If they all die, guess what, we die. This is a very simple thing that most people don’t realize, or don’t care more like. Recycling for instance is a relatively easy thing to do, but when I drive down the road I see very few bins on the curb. To be fair, I am seeing more but the non-recyclers still far out weigh the recyclers. I’m not a fanatic about the situation though and could certainly do more to help out. Hence the battle thing…see now you are starting to understand….

The Metalhead – Fuck don’t I love metal. The music not the element. I am a product of the 80’s. Yes the hair band era. My favorite band from that era is probably Metallica. Back when they were cool and not a bunch of choads… Was their anything cooler than Master of Puppets when it came out? I think not. Disposable Heroes is still one of the most brutal tunes ever. A lot of my other favorites were Dokken, Ratt, Cinderella, and some of the heavier variety like Slayer, Sepultura, King Diamond etc. I was never into the death metal stuff with the classic “cookie monster” vocals but then again if you’ve ever heard King, you would tell me about people throwing stones in glass houses…

So there is the somewhat vague explanation of my tagline. I will most assuredly expand on all these things at some point. I have no clue where this place is going. I will post shit in brutal honesty and some who read will not like or agree with everything I say but then again, this is MY blog…Everyone has a “voice”. I’m just using mine.
