I think it is quite possible that I have strayed into the War and Peace by Dostoyevsky zone when I found this site. But I'll introduce myself and you can tell me if I'm not strange enough for the likes of you all. I'm 67 years old, a professional artist by trade, now retired from selling my work. I also like to write, I am a gardener, love digital photography, and manipulating them in Photoshop. I do some web design, as well.

I can't remember, really. I have a new computer and I was going through some old bookmarks to see which ones I want to keep... and I had one for this site. I suspect I thought it was a resource for HTML coding problems back when I bookmarked it, but it is clear to me now that if that is part of what you all do here... it doesn't begin to cover the scope of interests addressed.  Thanks for the welcome.

What's with all these whippersnappers joining the geekery, when I was 67 I had to walk through the snow and rain in my flip flops for 3 miles to get to the nearest internet cafe.

*gasp* They had flip flops, and INTERNET! when you were 67!?

I wrote an awesome Michael Jackson-bashing article once, well about how people are making too big a deal over him being dead. And all my points were referenced to his songs. One of them was about blood stains on the carpet.

This statement is so right in many ways.

To be fair, people made a really big deal over him being alive long before they made a really big deal over him being dead. It kinda follows.

The kid is not my son.

They did, but so many people who didn't really care about him when he was alive went crazy when he died, and I didn't understand it. My cousins friend never listened to his music but she bought a plane ticket and went to his funeral... I just don't understand!!!


Being a muscian, in thr industry, I think MJ to me was missed most by the thr fact we lost an incredible singer/dancer.

That being said, he was fucking wacky. Baby dangler, anyone?

Also, I almost murdered one of the DJs on one of the local radio stations. They play the radio in the local movie theatre before it starts ( I live in a small area) and this dumb bitch comes on and sounds drunk as fuck saying whatever, and goes "oh yeah, and Michael Jackson died". Sounded like a freaking Cali plastic blond.

Have I mentioned I hate these kid of people? My friends used to make me watch "My Super Sweet 16" just to watch me flip shit.

Ok. Famous people die, too. Some earlier than expected. Not like it should be a shock.

Hey Taco, you know there are different forum categories other than New Geeks on the Block right?

yep, but I figure since this is a hot thread, I might as well be here.
