Geek Mentality

Yes, part of my work today (shooting a holiday video) had me wearing this. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday.

Was This Awesome #Superman Blanket.

As I prepare for Friday (emotionally I guess, because there really isn’t anything I’m doing) and the end of Smallville I am honoring the man of steel by wearing my three Superman shirts this week.

Sure they’re department store specials, but they’re still Superman…Wait - what is that off in the sky I see? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Oh, it was a plane. Nevermind. I’m not expecting to see a man fly - until Friday.

Reading 80. 81 is next.

This latest Geek Shirt is actually the first one (out of these first three) that I owned. My wife bought it for me because she saw how big a fan of Smallville I was. When I went to post this picture to the site it got me thinking. There really are two types of people that “wear” Superman. There are those superhero/comic book fans that proudly wear the House of El family crest, the Kryptonian symbol for hope, to show the world that they love the last son of Krypton.

And then there are those egomaniacs that wear it or have it tattooed because they think they are “a superman” - like Bon Jovi, Shaq, or Dwight Howard.

Me? I’m just glad that I fall on the geek/fan side of things - of course in life I find that the geeky side of the tracks is usually where I always fall.

Thank you to @ubuwaits for giving me this going away gift - when he’s the one that went away.

I stumbled upon this yesterday at a local Target and couldn’t resist. I’m going to write posts about some of my favorite movies and Goonies will definitely be on the list.
