Or as I like to say " I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no dick." John, all very good points. Life is for the living !!

December 4, 2012 11:08 am I just have to say sometime I been feeling for a while now. "Geek Chic" is over. It jumped the shark the night that asshole walked into a nidnight showing of " The Dark Knight Rises " and opened fire. It used to mean something when you really had to work to find old back issues of your favorite comic. Now just jump on eBay. If you wanted a "Flash" t-shirt you had to wait till the next Con. Now go to Target. The thill is gone. It's over. Will I stop reading comics? Never. But I threw out every "Superhero" t-shirt i had when I noticed a tv character was dressing like me, when i noticed alot of fat, ugly americans wearing them. Years ago I worn a beautiful silver Green Lantern ring. I worn it because I liked what it was a symbol of. My love of comics,my love of Green Lantern, my love of heroes. I worn it for years. And I got to meet and talk to some really cool and interesting people because of it. It got to the point where the soft silver comformed to to the shape of my finger and I couldn't take off the ring if I wanted to. But when I saw the first preview for the Green Lantern movie I went home and cut the ring off and sold it for scrap. Because I didn't want people to think I was wearing it because it was "Geek Chic". I miss that ring, but I feel so much cooler without it.
