Society needs geeks

I have realized lately that I have become a geek! I always had geeky tendencies but I am a fully developed geek now. The world needs geeks. It takes all kinds of people to make society run smoothly I suppose. I don't know if it's just a phase....I hope not. I really enjoy being geeky. Maybe it's time to get a pair of thick "Coke-bottle" glasses and put some duct tape in the middle where they rest on your nose. I have already embraced the anti-social hermit-like behavior years ago. If society implodes and we loose electricity here's what I will be doing. (Pedaling a generator with a computer in front of me)

Joys of living alone.....


Living Alone

As of 2000, the most common household type in the U.S. is people living alone. 27 million American households consist of a person living alone, compared to 25 million households with a husband, wife, and child.

More than one in four American households consist of an adult living alone (25.8%).

These are some stats for people's living arrangements. They don't surprise me at all. I am not the "norm" here where I live. Apparently, there are a lot of like minded people throughout the U.S. I can't even imagine having to live with someone else after about 12 years of living alone. It's great! You can walk naked from the shower to the bedroom to get dressed. (for that matter you can dance around naked on the way, not that I would, but you could) You can get up at 2 A.M. and turn up the radio....the list goes on and on. The only down side I can see is you could possibly choke to death on a piece of meat. I am willing to take that risk. I can see why a lot of people like to live this way. That is my thought of the day.
