Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I fit in this big universe? These are questions we've all had. I have discovered a diagram that helps to answer those questions. If you've ever wanted to know who you are and how you fit into society, refer to the venn diagram below. You can see the clear difference between the distinctions of dweeb, geek, dork and nerd.
I was born a nerd, but have slowly moved myself towards the geek area. Like a true nerd I had no ability to participate in social atmospheres. But, also, like a true nerd, I knew how to read books that could solve that problem. I read many books that helped me to learn what the rest of civilization already knew about interacting one with another.
Lest you worry that I am self deprecating when I declare my geekship, remember that in the epic battle of jocks vs geeks, the geeks always win. The jocks can make some serious money if they're good. Look at Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant; they're all millionaires. But look at the world's best geeks: Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs; they are all billionaires.
Truly, the geeks shall inherit the Earth. (It's possible I misquoted that.)
I'm a geek too! It is a good thing we got married.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to forget my nerd days. Good thing that I was smart enough to move to the geek category, but not before being the star of the school play.
ReplyDeleteThis is classic. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteYa, you've definitely graduated from nerd to geek. You have no trouble in social atmospheres! I'm not quite sure where I fit in all this though...you might have to help me.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm a Dork... but I wish I were a Geek.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking. If we went with spheres rather than circles we could come up with some new classifications. I don't know what they would be but with blank spots I'm sure we could fill them in.
ReplyDeleteGeeks, dorks, nerds, dweebs, I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteStrange, I always thought I was a geek in highschool, but according to the chart I was either a dweeb or a nerd (I'm not sure what's meant by "obsession"). My understanding was nerds study all the time, and I certainly didn't do that.
