Poor Man's Atkins is Geek Chic

There is a difference between geek and nerd. It's important that you know that before we begin.

    I am a bit of a self proclaimed "geek". I believe my friends and family would proclaim it as well. I like movies, video games, comic books, Battlestar Galactica and all things that carry the geek stamp of awesomeness. I wanted to go to San Diego Comic-con this year but tickets sold out the day they went on sale. I have gone the last three years, but this year I am forced to watch from a distance. As I grieve the loss of my nerdy forums and superhero filled hallways I remember that every cloud has a silver lining. So perhaps i take this time to reflect at the pluses of not attending this year...

- The convention's food here is not made for the low carber. It's pizza, fries, and greasy burgers. Sure, they have a salad there somewhere, but trust me, priority s not given to making fresh salads for the attendees of this convention. Most geeks just get confused around salads.

- My brother can be a bad influence on me. Not always, but his track record on our trips to comic-con always head into dark territory. By the end of the weekend i will have had some sort of chocolate. In my brothers defense, he got me started on Atkins, so he has the right to break me.

- I will not buy things that my wife will not allow me to frame and display in our living room therefore saving money and embarrassment. Examples include: Life size Yoda, Walking Dead posters, Autographs of Edward James Almos.

- I will not suffer the burning scent of B.O. brought on by thousands of unwashed geek brothers.

- Furries give me the creeps.

- I will not have those awkward elevator conversations with Lou Ferrigno.

Still none of these things fill the hole in my heart so I shall fill my weekend's time with back issues of Batman and Xbox in honor of my loss (probably would have done this anyway).
