An Open Letter To The Pretty Lady Who I Was Inadvertently Staring At On The Subway

(I figure she's probably an avid reader of this blog)

Hello,

I'm sorry that I was staring at you on the subway this morning.

But the fact is, you're really hot, and I was thinking about how nice your hair looked and then I started thinking about how nice it probably smelled and then I sort of started to space-out and I didn't realize what I was doing until you appeared visibly distressed by the fact that a weirdo on the subway was staring at you with his mouth open.

Again, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to freak you out. Please don't dwell on this experience too deeply and please don't feel the need to start wearing baggy clothing or turtleneck sweaters or something. I promise that if I see you tomorrow I won't stare.

Sincerely,
Jeff

A Nerd Burdened...

Not long ago I awoke to the stinging realization that I am not popular, that I have the fashion-sense of a blind hobo, and that I am probably the clumsiest person on the planet. For a quarter-century I had somehow managed to live in the delusion that I was somewhat normal, only to have recently discovered that my mother was lying to me when she always used to assure me that I was “cool”. You see, my passions include math, physics, computers, horror movies, heavy metal, video games... and pretty much anything else that will forever ruin my chances at getting laid. Truth is, I am a raging nerd. Welcome to my blog.

I've seen other "nerd blogs" on the internet, but those generally all fail to accurately capture the struggles of nerdkind. Not here, friends. This blog is intended to serve as a warning to others and as a coping mechanism for me. Feel free to drop me an email or to leave comments.
